bearpants Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Really bummed about Tuinei and Brown. Starting to look like we failed in DE recruiting again this year, which is incredibly disappointing. If Thad Gibson and Derrell Johnson are back I don't think that's necessarily the case... however having both those guys on "personal leave" does make me a little nervous... I don't see it as a fail..We gained Westerman with Ivan Brown rotating in as Canadian which is an up grade over having Thomas and Richardson as a constant rotation and on the field. Thadius Gibson is better than what we had last year, and I think is being under estimated and really being away for birth of a child is hardly concerning. Johnson will be back and is gonna be a stud and We also have Fraser who is a year older, wiser and better and come off the edge..I not too worried especially seeing as we are playing a normal defence and guys who seemed sub par or were looking to be in decline will bounce right back I'm not saying I don't think they'll be back... just "personal leave" means they are gone for some reason that we don't know and we don't know when they'll be back.. that's the reason it makes me a little nervous... when those two are back practising (hopefully this week and in the game Friday) then I'll feel better... I have no issue starting Peach to start the season... but I'd like to know one or both of those guys are around ready to play...
M.O.A.B. Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 I don't like Greg Peach, but with a lot of guys competing for his spot, he obviously elevated his play. Tad Gibson or Derrell Johnson may still end up as the DI on DL.

Noeller Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 That sucks about Dan West. Solid vet. Last year's ST Captain, I believe...
gbill2004 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 That sucks about Dan West. Solid vet. Last year's ST Captain, I believe...Pontbriand was the ST captain last year.
Geebrr Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 That sucks about Dan West. Solid vet. Last year's ST Captain, I believe... Unfortunate for us.
Fatty Liver Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 I don't like Greg Peach, but with a lot of guys competing for his spot, he obviously elevated his play. Tad Gibson or Derrell Johnson may still end up as the DI on DL. Very hard to cut the Peach, team leader and one of O'Shea's favourite sons, plus his motor runs on nitro.
Geebrr Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 You need a rotation of guys. Peach is fine in rotation.
M.O.A.B. Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 That sucks about Dan West. Solid vet. Last year's ST Captain, I believe... Unfortunate for us. Pontbriand is last years ST captain. I believe. I got a feeling this year it will be Chad Rempel.

I got a feeling this year it will be Chad Rempel. Regardless, a solid vet. Rempel definitely helps, but still a loss.
Fatty Liver Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Shocked that Tuenei was the first receiver to be cut as he was the proven commodity amongst the bunch. Thought they would cut Clemons, Veltung, Willie, Logan or even Adams before him. Also surprised cutting Quinn Everett as he was a 2014 draft pick and spent last year in college ball so he has had no professional development time. Anyone think he is destined for the P.R. for further development?
TrueBlue4ever Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Marve survives... So do Portis and Yantz. I'd wager $10 million of Yourface's internet dollars that we won't see all 5 QB's play on Friday.

I had low expectations.

To "exfoliate" on it, a guy with height, supposed speed, and being out of a successful, prominent, D1 NCAA school, not being able to stick on an NFL roster, nor be brought back by the Lions, there must be some serious flaws in his game.

Well you could be right, but who knows. An intangible like a bad attitude is all it takes to get cut these days.

Tuinei has a grand total of 7 catches in the CFL prior to this year's TC, I would suggest that does not make him a proven commodity over the rest.
Blueandgold Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Peach is a one year stop gap at best. It's highly disappointing that we have't found someone better than him yet,
gbill2004 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Peach is a one year stop gap at best. It's highly disappointing that we have't found someone better than him yet,O'Shea has a man-crush on Peach.
Fatty Liver Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Peach is a one year stop gap at best. It's highly disappointing that we have't found someone better than him yet, The same thing is said every year and yet Peach keeps going and going and going.... SPuDS 1
17to85 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 If Peach is the worst player on the DL I can live with that. I still say he's best off as your first guy off the bench though. SPuDS and shadybob 2

Yeah I heard that... no disrespect to the person who first posted it (possibly you)... but I usually take info found here as rumour over fact...
