Around the CFL Offseason Discussion

So pretty much means we're taking an OL at #2 and likely #11, right?

[gbill2004]

Heenan going to the NFL, even if he doesn't stick, is bad news for us. It means that the competition for NI O-linemen is tighter than ever.

Competition? There's none left.

At number 2 for sure.

There's still the draft and possible trades, all of which have gotten tighter.

I meant free agents.

@AdamSchefter: Colts make it official, announce agreement with former CFL standout WR Duron Carter, son of Cris Carter.

[AtlanticRiderFan]

Who's the new Migs? Ripper? Wide Right? or both?

 

Ripper actively posts on riderfans, so he is not migs.

[Zontar]

Riders announce their full coaching staff. No Barron Miles.

 

Chamblin - head coach

 

Chapdelain - offensive coordinator

Dorazio - offensive line

Tucker - receivers

Cobourne - runningbacks

 

Quick - defensive coordinator

Sinclair - defensive line

Missick - defensive backs

Pettaway - linebackers

 

Dyce - special teams

McDiarmid - asst. special teams

Just writing Chamblin and Durant as the coaching staff  would have been enough, but thanks.

We signed the only decent one available and hold the second overall pick in the draft. I'm not overly concerned at this stage.

[DR. CFL]

Draft picks aren't automatically starters for two primary reasons 1) they may not be ready to start and 2) coaches are often afraid to start them. A great exceptin was LaBatte but he was ready to play and fortunately or unfortunately if you choose to think that it was only because Sheridan got hurt ( again).

@CFL: THIS JUST IN: @MTLAlouettes re-sign RB Brandon Rutley and add RB Jordan Hall. More to come. #CFL

[gbill2004]

@DougBrown97: My kicker spider sense is tingling and tells me Mike Renaud may officially retire tomorrow......

MLB Taylor Reed reups in HAM. Stud on the rise.

Like his size, he is definitely a keeper. He is only 23 yrs old also.

Naturally you think of the returns but the guy is a bonifide weapon on offense too.

Any truth to the rumour he wants #9 put on his track suit next year?

...Our boy Toews says hi....

[iso_55]

Zontar, the kid has talent no question. But that's what he is... a kid. Banks has a lot of growing up to do. Maybe he will or maybe he won't. The Jets are dealing with a spoiled kid of their own right now & have now sent him to his room with no supper. Kane's all out of  time outs.

That's horse plop. He went above and beyond and cried, CRIED like a 16 yr old girl instead of getting back on the fld.. That is next level crybaby bullshizen..

[iso_55]

The personal & individual glory was taken away from Banks. Stolen... by a stupid teammate who held when he shouldn't have & it cost him his historic touchdown. HIS touchdown. Not the team's but HIS. How dare that guy steal his limelight. How could that guy have been sooooo stupid? It was just too much to bear. And to go back on the field after that before he could pound his fists & have a good cry? Like right away???!! Man, that's not fair. The game is cruel sometimes.
