Jpan85 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Darren Cameron @Darren_Cameron DT Ryan Lucas has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. #Bombers
Mike Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 That sucks, I feel for Lucas. He worked hard to come back from his injury last year and now this?
Mike Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Ryan Lucas is done for the year with a torn ACL. Mike O'Shea started tearing up when talking about it. #Bombers I love O'Shea. His players are going to go to absolute war for him. Harbaugh and HardCoreBlue 2
gbill2004 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 I wonder how this changes the plans for managing the ratio this season?
Jpan85 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 That really sucks looked like he had come back pretty nicely from the injury last year and was having a good camp.
Mike Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 As far as the ratio goes ... if we weren't going 4 OL before, we probably will be now. Or you swing a trade with Hamilton for a DT.
gbill2004 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Laurent sure would have been nice to have right about now. TBURGESS 1
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 As far as the ratio goes ... if we weren't going 4 OL before, we probably will be now. Or you swing a trade with Hamilton for a DT. Even if we go 4 OL, we desperately need to add another Canadian who can play, likely a receiver or DL. The chances of Watson surviving 18 games are pretty low, our depth is wire thin, we lose a couple NI's who we're counting on to play on O or D and we're totally screwed, we've already lost one.
Jpan85 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 Do you think they double back and move Quinn Everett back to DL
mbrg Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 That really sucks for him. Doesn't even get to see a second of game action and his season is over.
braddman19 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Terrible terrible news for Lucas. Hopefully he can come back from this. On the flip side, hopefully we can get someone else in ASAP that can fill the position and get some training camp time in.
Mike Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Trade Hamilton for the rights to Evan Gill immediately. He'd play here. James, MinisterOfD5, Tracker and 1 other 4
mbrg Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Do you think they double back and move Quinn Everett back to DL I haven't watched a second of him in camp (allergic to shade or something like that) but that was also what I was thinking. The Dline was going to feature Thomas and Lucas rotating with some guys in other positions to get that 7th NI. Can Everett be ready to take on that responsibility by the time camp breaks?
Mr Dee Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now.
Mike Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all?
Mr Dee Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all? I would assume NI depth as tenuous as it is right now, at any position, will not allow us an import kicker.
Jpan85 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 You think with all the non import DL Hamilton has they are going to have to release one or two at the end of preseason.
SPuDS Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Ugh. Suuuuuuuuuucks for lucas, he was really coming along nicely.. Heres to stealing a player from hamilton at cutdown or via trade
mbrg Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all? I would assume NI depth as tenuous as it is right now, at any position, will not allow us an import kicker. 4 DI's this year. There's room for him if he earns it.

Goalie Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Too bad for Lucas, this is probably the end of his career here though. He got injured last season too. Up there in age too isn't he? wont be easy coming back from an ACL injury.
mbrg Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 You think with all the non import DL Hamilton has they are going to have to release one or two at the end of preseason. Edmonton had a glut of NI Dlinemen and carried all those guys last year (year before?, crap I'm getting old) without dropping one. It would be nice if it happens but we can't plan for it.
DR. CFL Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Non import depth could be a serious issue moving forward. I'm not sure starting 4 nip o line is an option. This team had serious challenges starting 3 last season...4 might be a huge stretch.
rebusrankin Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Brutal to hear. Assuming they'll go Thomas at DT, Newman at LB and Alexander at S in a rotation for NI spot 7.
bearpants Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 Too bad for Lucas, this is probably the end of his career here though. He got injured last season too. Up there in age too isn't he? wont be easy coming back from an ACL injury. He'll be 30 by the end of the year... definitely still time to recover.... but this is very unfortunate news.... I was looking forward to seeing him on the d-line this year
