Mike Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Broken, dislocated. Tough break, can't wait to see Graig next year!
Doublezero Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, wishing Graig Newman speedy recovery and rehab.
bearpants Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Stating the obvious: worst news possible.... feel so bad for the guy....
kelownabomberfan Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 cutting his hair made him mortal....
mbrg Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Half way thru the slow-mo replay we knew he was done for the year. That looked awful. Hope they give him the finest morphine Calgary has to offer, and hope he gets well soon.
voodoochylde Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Really tough for a guy who was playing hard and looking to make an impact for our team this season. Best wishes on a full and speedy recovery.

Hope they give him the finest morphine Calgary has to offer, and hope he gets well soon. He's going to need it as the stumble-bum paramedics couldn't even lift him into the ambulance properly. I don't know what was harder to watch, the replay of his ankle snapping or the Keystone Kops routine trying to load him into the ambulance. iso_55 1
M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Question for the experts... kinda a stupid question but throwing it out there. Would Dan West (6'2" 201) be a suitable replacement for Newman (6'1" 195), to play MLB (backup) in Etch's D?
gbill2004 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Dan West is not a starting calibre CFL football player.
M.O.A.B. Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Dan West is not a starting calibre CFL football player. My question is not about being a starter but a backup Nat MLB. Although I dont think we can consider Newman as starter MLB too.

I don't know what was harder to watch, the replay of his ankle snapping or the Keystone Kops routine trying to load him into the ambulance. Yeah, that looked amateurish. But I do know paramedics in Calgary are highly trained & professional so I don't know what was up with that.
The Unknown Poster Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Apparently MOS said today he is holding out hope that Newman can return this season.

Tracker Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Apparently MOS said today he is holding out hope that Newman can return this season. On 1290 this AM, it was announced that his ankle is broken and the ligaments have been damaged, so if he's back this year, it will be as a spectator.
ubbullrun Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Willie Mosesly played MIddle Linebacker in College http://www.ubbullrun.com/2014/5/20/5732474/willie-moseley-linebacker-winnipeg-bluebombers Willie Moseley came to Buffalo as an All-District defensive end who, was slated by Turner Gill to play that postilion on UB's then 4-3 defensive set. In 2009, after one year as a red shirt, Moseley played in a hand full of games as a defensive end racking up three tackles, including one for a loss. Then came the staff changes of 2010. The new staff dumped the old 4-3 defense and brought in their hybrid 3-4 defense. To help fill in at linebacker the coaches took the Athletic Moseley off the line and moved him to the outside linebacker spot. During 2010 he was parked right behind Khalil Mack. And that's kind of the way things stayed for a while. Going into 2012 it looked as if Moseley would once again be depth behind Khalil Mack but once again Willie had an impressive spring. He got noticed by the staff and UB still had depth issues related to the scheme change. The immediate need was at inside linebacker. Moseley would be a starter but in the middle of a 3-4 defense. I don't know whay he measures up to by CFL standards but one of Willies strenghts at Buffalo was moving around the defense to help with depth or production wherever we needed it..
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Kind of a vague way of explaining the injury, are his tibia and fibula both broken? If so, it will be one hell of a feat to make it back into a CFL game. Best wishes to him.

Since you brought him up ... what was the book on Moseley in college? He seems to move well on the big field but the one thing I've been really underwhelmed with is his tackling. For a guy that size, he's sure had a hard time wrapping guys up.

For a guy that size, he's sure had a hard time wrapping guys up. Really fast guy, good range of motion but not the best tackler in the world. He is a hard hitter who I have seen try to hist his way through a tackle rather than wrap up. It was hard for him in College because he kept getting moved around, and then he got stuck behind Khalil Mack.
Mr. Perfect Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 44s O'Shea is optimistic LB Graig Newman could return from dislocated and fractured ankle this season. Dr. Peter MacDonald in surgery today.
Brandon Posted June 16, 2014 Report Posted June 16, 2014 No point in rushing him back , might as well give him the year off
