I really want to see both Grainger and Wilson develop for a while here. Titus wall id take over a bunch of guys in camp here Titus Wall definitely would be worth a look...strange cut there rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t played in four years, I’d imagine it would be a tough go for him to get back into game shape. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that. Generally you’d think if he kept his weight on and hadn’t gotten fat he’d be reasonably close but needing cardio. Maybe he got chunky though. These days those types of moderately to reasonably successful players don’t work out up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 There’s genuinely some surprises around the league … I’d be interested in Bennett for sure and McFadden from Toronto rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s what they really want. Doesn’t seem like anyone really grabbed the 5th receiver job. But anyone coming in now would basically be for Game 2 given the stupid condensed schedule from preseason to Game 1. rebusrankin and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) I’d consider bringing in the stamps kicker punter they let go for a pr spot. McFadden is interesting also. As Is Bennett who I guess would replace Thomas or Schmekel. Edited June 2 by Goalie wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 Bring in Bennett and say happy trails to Jake Thomas. Wall or McFadden over some of the corners we played yesterday. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, I never thought he was too great. Just fine. Speaking of Fine, goodbye Mason! Apparently Lenius is currently injured and may be out for quite sometime, nonetheless it sounds like the Riders are replacing him with rookie Ajou who will be making about half the $152k Lenius was scheduled to receive.

bluto Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Mild shock about Tavarus McFadden and Maurice Carnell IV. Both were projected starters in our defensive backfield. A backfield that lost Stiggers, Peters and Pickett... so it's a big reset. The new defensive coordinatorS must be very confident in the new talent they brought in to drop two players who clearly play at starting CFL level. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbbfan Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Wouldn’t mind if we’d grab one or two guys if they are willing to go to the pr while we sort out the secondary. Booch and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were HUGE in the I think 20teens? but do they still put out music? Seems like kind of a has been boy band. Is there going to be overlap between jonas brothers fans and football fans or people who would like football? Idk seems like a miss in terms of branding and timing. I'm also not a fan, but I feel like the weekend or drake would be a much better fit, and canadian. My personal pick probably wouldn't move the needle much (the headtones.) or bring eyes or any thing. I'm certainly out of touch with popular music today, but any thing R&B, hip hop etc would be long over due. I think the last time we had that was the black eyed peas like 20 years ago. bigg jay and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC they split up for a while but got back together a couple years ago so they could be popular again - I'm also not up to date on current music, it's just not something I would ever pay to see or tune in for. There's a reason why Doman went out and got LL Cool J & now 50 Cent for home opener concerts - people will pay to see that kind of show. The Lions are expecting their biggest crowd in over a decade to kick-off the season. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
