CFL Combine
The top end isnt as strong as the OL but its deeper. DE Westerman - corney DT Thomas-butcher DT Nevis-irvin DE Okpaluaugo-cole PLus guys like tennant, green and the rookies coming in. Thats two all star level DEs, and an allstar level tackle in nevis. Thomas people are split on. Certainly the low man on the pole, but I think hes exactly the type of guy to fit in and do the gritty work to allow the rest to be crashed on less. A poor mans doug brown if you will. Butcher and corney are freaks with huge up side. Cole had some really nice flashes last year. The whole line struggled, despite talent level. A better performance from the group is a tide that raises all boats. Especailly some one like cole. Irvin is a similar situation. At worst hes a vet who can come in and push other guys. Imop its a good idea to bring in new NIs at each position group every year. Thats how you find diamonds in the rough, and how you keep from stagnating at a position like we have at NI wr. Id look for more butcher/corney esq DL, or a role guy who could come in and push to do more earlier like thomas. But in the mid to late rounds. Unless some one is taking thomas spot this year or next I wouldnt spend a first on a DL. (or if our scouts feel the dl available is in another tier above the rest of the available players)

yeah i wouldnt trade away our starters for him. MTL seems to be in a win now mode though. Im also high on couture, and like intzandt as a developmental guy. Plus i cant see any of the available OL sliding in to C to take goossens job. I dont think couture, any ol we'd grab at 1/6, or focault would last a hot minute on the PR either. So we face diminishing returns on going big in the draft with a OL. Thats really true of both sides of the line. Not a lot for Dbs in this draft class, so a LBer/wr that will be here in camp this year and a futures pick / trade down is probably the best use of assets.

i sure hope this isnt what bryant was tweeting about in terms of hearing his name alot. I like foucault a lot. Id do first + other picks from montreal if hes ready to sign a multi year deal. I think if he was available in this draft he'd be the BPA.

any one try breath of the wild / the switch yet? FF 8-x2 were the peak of the series for me. Especially 8-x. For any mmorpgers

both butcher and intzandt are monsters. I really wanna see both play well and make the team/pr.

a lot of good tunning changes. I still dont like the touch football level of penalty on the PI but atleast it isnt another year of extreme changes.

The level of play and athleticism of NIs today is far better then it was 10+ years ago. The talent available is better then ever, especially in the draft. Not to mention the gap between back ups to ni starters is closer then ever.

its either a list of the best guys at the college level not taking into consideration potential, a bad list, or some real top secret level knowledge no one else is privy too. A head scratcher for sure. That was a really good read.

They kind of look like the best guys at the college level via position. Not predicting how they will translate to pro. So you have the college/pro-football version of the AAAA prospect in baseball. A guy who crushes tripple A competition but cant contribute at the level of bench/fringe starter in the major league, ranks above a guy who is an up side prospect and could still have his best football ahead of him. Every year we see sleepers who are polished football players then athletic freaks picked low and out perform their draft rankings. The scouts could also be shying away from the potential guys in favor of guys who are likely to produce in some form at the next level.

Moon knight is such a crazy character i feel like they could cut back a lot and still have a great deal to work with. Really like cloak and dagger, will be interesting to see how abc does it. Depends on where you are. If i go 30-40 minutes west or an hour east i have 0 signal on my cell. Here, i have fantastic cell coverage. But some carriers have none here etc. My hard line used to be horrible too, but in the last month and a half or so its gotten up to a decent level finally.

Bombers Off-Season Transactions
no one was turnstyled vs westerman last year sadily. When it comes to ol ill take quality over all. You can have almost no statistical production from a NI wr (we have seen it first hand) You can have a back up level Dt gap cancel. You cant have an OL play like nuefie did last year. Allways take a ni over an imp? what imps wouldnt you take over neufie?

They seem to have been trying to push dawson from the role of night nurse to a hero. Not a fan of it. I really like her as night nurse, though she wasnt as good in this as DD and luke cage. I just finished up too. The ending wasnt what i was hoping for either. And the back half tone. marvel has lots of darkness, as does the defenders. Wouldnt have liked to see danny rand stay the was he was in the first 1/3 or so. Over all It was good, not as good as luke cage over all. Typical marvel series in that it has too many mini boss villains, hints at the rest of marvel too much with out having any cross over. I liked it better then s1 of daredevil. And better then s2, punisher aside. (jon berenthal was an awesome punisher) I havent been able to gut it out through jessica jones. Though I will try one more time. The great thing about power man and iron fist, heroes for hire, and defenders was it wasnt all monotone. It was different characters, street level heroes who at their heart are real people. While characters like tony stark were larger then life in their flaws and ability these guys were more relate able. The series didnt use music as well as luke cage, though it tried. I felt like it tried to avoid the mistakes of luke cage and tried soo hard to do so it failed to separate it self. Falling into a cliche for these series. I really enjoyed gao, she stole the show every time she was on screen. Weve seen a lot out of her character and i look forward to seeing more. Hogarth the lawyer was also fantastic. Colleen wing was good, and her interplay with danny rand was great. Easily the best romance out of all these series. A must watch for big MCU fans. A good watch for more casual fans. Better then re watching the movies. Id really like to see a good adaptation of moon knight, but idk how possible that would be. Seeing Constantine fixed and rolled into this level would be great too.

mm thats an interesting theory. She flashes a little power briefly in the series. Talks about being older then youd think. With her level of manipulation and lack of worry over profits, business, and lack of fear in the face of powered individuals she certainly is more then a little old lady. She specifically takes about a time in the 1500s, which is when the hand is founded. She could be the demon known only as The Beast. Who early on took over the hand and became its leader. Instead of being a lieutenant, shes actually the head of it all. More likely, I think shes the crane mother. The former ruler of one of the cities of heaven, whom the order rand was saved by follows. Hense her familiarity with the city, iron fists etc. The crane mother also had issues with a previous iron fist. And that logo on her H? the iron fist logo with out wings. Maybe partially a shot at the iron fist, maybe more crane then dragon.

they do seem to have a bit of a banal formula. I was hoping danny rand would be a more comedic vibe but cant blame them for following the cash cow. Yeah it heavily dips across all the story lines, as does hydra but really peaks in defenders. Some of the story line gets a little out there especially with elektra. I could see them using dr strange in as a big name assist in the heavy stretch with defenders vs hand. I cant wait for that series in general. Seeing how these well fleshed out characters will bounce off each other. As for a major future phase for main line marvel i cant see it. Even if skrull/kree, follow up of world war hulk, zombies, death of wolverine, etc arent viable for various reasons, the likes House of M, secret wars, and thor the un worthy, are sure fire future story lines. And with a probably slate wipe coming after the 2nd infinity war a story line like house of m is almost sure fire. They have scarlet witch, they dont have the mutant name, though that may change by that time, if not they are going to be going inhumans by then any way. It would be a great way to trim the roster and push them.

"He played in two pre-season games as a wide receiver and recorded one catch for six yards. Reaves was part of the team's final cuts on June 20, 2016." what i was going by

He was arrested early 2016 and cut early 2016 could have been when they found out. It was the 2015 tc and PR he was here.

I wonder if that and the current regimes emphasis on "character" is why he was released. small time dealers sure. The largest pushers are closer to the distributors these days. The white market in the area has been hotly contested, and there have been a bunch of arrests going back a few years now. Junkie pushers arent a good way to stay out of jail. with the white liquor its the violence brought on by the amounts of money that would be the concern.

Im a good few episodes in, it started a bit slow (dont all netflix / marvel series) but is pretty good so far. Not as good as luke cage to this point. Comparable to daredevil id say, worlds better then jessica jones. Marvel has become enveloped in this sjw trend. It has the comics stuck deep in a rut not seen since the comic book collapse. Some thing like 18 of the top 20 us grossing comics currently are DC, marvel has 1 title up there.
