The nice thing is we only play Edmonton once and zero games against Sask and Calgary during his absence. We gotta win against Montreal, Hamilton once, and BC once and we will be ok.

Said whom?

The one nice thing if its a 6-8 week thing is that the bombers have a weak schedule in the first half of the season. A lot of the key west division matchups are in the 2nd half.

If they aren't in on Adams than that must be good news on the Nichols front??

http://3downnation.com/2018/06/07/june-jones-says-ticats-qb-vernon-adams-will-traded-today/ Can't see how this isn't to Winnipeg but article says Montreal or Edmonton. If it is Edmonton then I don't really get it? Are they planning to trade Glenn to Winnipeg?

Doesn’t make much sense to me given the circumstances. We should be trying to protect our new starting qb and giving him time to get on the same page with starting offense.

Depends on the severity. No matter who we bring in I’m expecting they won’t start until maybe the Hamilton game. Good thing we have Montreal in week 2. Should be able to split the first two games with whomever.

I wouldn’t give up Goosen or Chung for him strait up lol. You don’t trade for a qb that a team has under contract and wants to keep.

Well.. if Hodge is right and the injury to Nichols is bad the team will save a lot of cap space.

My memory of the Achilles was on a play where he was trying to be a fullback.. Could be wrong though.

On the plus side.. Faith Ekakatie's cap hit is no longer a concern.

We don't!

He only threw 5 picks and 15 touchdowns last season. He didn't look sharp in the first pre-season game but that's a small sample size.

If we traded for Masoli and he performs well i bet we could trade him to Montreal in the offseason for the 1st overall pick

Does anyone know how far cloning technology has come in the past few years?

I just watched the video of Joey Elliot tearing his ACL and it looked like he couldn't put any pressure on it at all without writhing in pain.

Im leaning that way. There should have been a loud popping noise had he torn his ACL and they would know right away. But just because they say they are still evaluating doesn't mean they are suspecting a tear.

Did nobody record video of him walking/limping off the field?

I guess those of us wanting to see Nichols not play on Friday and get a better look at Streveler and Bennett will get their wish

Based on what I've been researching on ACL injuries it's hard to say at this point. It seems like if it was torn he would likely not be putting pressure on it and he would lift his knee in the air and hop on one leg with staff supporting him. It doesn't look good but it could be worse. There's a chance its not a tear. A tear would mean a 6 to 7 month recovery time. If its a tear here is what Matt has to look forward to.

I wouldn't Masoli showed he can actually play in this league whereas Adams hasn't really shown anything yet. He's sub Brandon Bridge level in terms of reading defenses.

We do have 2 first round picks next year. If Nichols was out for the year I would look trading the farm to get somebody like Franklin or Masoli.

I agree with you.. Considering he was half to walk somewhat I don't think its a season-ending injury. It will be a good opportunity for the team to instill a dominant defense that wins games mentality early on in the season.

I wouldn't trade anything for a guy who's proven to not be good enough. At least not now. We should thorougly test Steveler, Ross, and Bennett first.

Most of the improvement has been more a result of John Murphy than Chris Jones.
