Then you rotate between Hurl and Bucknor.
the thought of hurl playing more then spot minutes makes me nervous. I really hope waggoner steps up and he and buck can rotate.

6 1 225. He is listed as a dB on the teams roster page tho.
Not too big for safety. Weve had smaller backers and bigger safetys. Coverage lber, hb and safety are all similar size guys. Safety means you need different instincts vision etc.

Bauming thinks they see him as a lb and not a safety. Guess we will have to keep an eye on Waggoner at camp to see if he's slimmed down a bit. If so perhaps Bauming is wrong and he is a safety candidate
Yeah but tbh i dont put much value in our citys sports reporters pre regular season. Every single one of em is too busy eating donuts talking and playing on their phones to actually notice any thing going on. Waggoner was a saftey in the US, bc was gonna sign him to play it i dont think he has to change any thing. Now if he has what it takes or not is some thing very different. Idk why we are moving any one to LBer though, seems like the strength of our D atm.

one more sleep till mini camp! whoooo! Wouldnt might seeing wagoneer step up and take starting safety.

duper the super negatron. mega negatron. Or cautiously optimistic. Which is how all bomber fans seem to feel right now. Weve got some really good pieces young and old. Camp should be a gooder.

When's the last time a team has thrived with their top 3 receivers all being under 6'?
Idk but off the top of my head, milt was listed 6'0 here and 5'11 in the nfl. We had him bobby gordon aj3 then arland bruce with charles roberts catching a ton of passes too.

Looks like a gifted athlete will be fun to see what he can bring to camp.
4.47/41.5"/10'8" 6.65 cone and 4.09 shuttle.
On the scouting front, National Football Post's Wes Bunting liked Talley's size at 6'1, his burst, and his ability to separate. Pro Football Weekly said Talley had an "athletic build", "smooth movement" and quickness in and out of his breaks. His 41.5 inch vertical (also reported by Pro Football Weekly) is probably his biggest asset, although both Bunting and PFW weren't thrilled about his hands and tendency to body-catch.
Talley can return kicks and punts and provide depth at slot receiver with potential to line up outside. If 2011 third-round pick Jerrel Jernigan doesn't have a good camp, Talley's time with Cruz could continue into the 2012 season and beyond.

Walters said that won't be happening
I havent seen that, but id take it with a grain of salt. That said, i wouldnt expect he would want to come back for half or less pay and being 3rd or lower on the depth chart. but a man can dream. Whens the last time we had 3 1000 yard wrs?

Aging veteran on the decline.... I'm not surprised at all. He will find work once injuries occur...
Many a former great wr not far removed from being very productive has retired as a FA from lack of interest.
I wonder if hes holding out for too much money? Id still love to bring him in on a cheaper deal for a 3rd wide out.

what the logical landing spot for him? who starts canadians at LB? toronto?
Any team with need of a starting canadian. Also, any one who signs henoc would be in a good spot with him backing up.
Bc had waggoner neg listed as an imp and was about to sign him but didnt spend the pick on him.

Means it's more likely a OL drops to us.
fingers crossed wouldnt that be great.

Pretty interesting prospect. but yeah i would be surprised if he fell to us. Though we dont have a need at lber. if we did there would have been a much bigger out cry to pay henoc crazy money.

This Tweet emphasizes the long odds of success.
Did u know? Of 71,291 college football players last year, about 300 will make NFL rosters this year. #geturdegree pic.twitter.com/0IzrCU5pAk
Crazy odds. though i imagine that includes d2 and below, juco etc. If your playing at that level a pro football career is a crazy hail mary. That also doesnt include cfl afl etc. Though afl isnt much of a living short of 2 or 3 guys.
Ill have to check out that story about AC, ive never heard about his background but i know a few cfl guys have had some insane stories.

Heenan has a real advantage, the reality for a lot of footballers from the US is they come from poverty and have nothing to fall back on. They get accepted into college based on their athletic ability and are either unprepared for the challenge or blow off the opportunity provided to further their education. The edumacational system in the States is a disgrace, I been there and dids it.
Thats also a very good point. perhaps the reason a lot of guys live and breath football is its their only chance. We all know stories of star cfl players who were doing menial jobs and struggling mightily before signing a cfl contract. guys coming from the AFL living off of peanut butter sandwiches to ricky ray driving a delivery truck.

Smith looks like a toolsy big body project type. Read on a chargers scout report that he clocked 4.46 40 but doesnt play as fast. But that hes stronger then his weight and is at his best in short-intermediate possession type plays. Allways worth taking a chance on a big guy with tools.
Pinkard looks like a guy alot of people had as a strong diamond in the rough late draft kind of guy until some off field issues at the end of his college career. Looks like an a well rounded guy. Good speed vert hands route running nothing great but a real wr and a real good frame for the cfl.
Both these guys should be interesting to watch in camp. The wr crop has lots of talented and interesting prospects. Definitely position to watch imop for camp.

Why not just get rid of the refs & have drones flying everywhere so we can call perfect games without the dumb human errors we see now. Technology is perfect. We know that.
cfl cant afford that. id take it in baseball hands down.

I think they may want to give Waggoner a shot on D.
xD yeah, never know though.
I dont doubt richards injuries. I hope he can stay healthy and show some thing this year.

I was wondering that as well.. all good to know 10 out of 11 of them have been added but.. what where they again lol.
If we could have challenged a none call pass interference on milt alone back in the early 2000s we would have won like 4-5 more games.
Yeah idr the rule changes either. I wouldnt mind going a couple years with out a huge rule change.

I have no idea of this played into his decision but I would think a lot of football players have been forced into some soul searching if they've seen the Concussion movie.
Make 200k per in the CFL for the next 10 years and put the rest of your life at risk or prolong your quality of life while you still can.
I think its become a none decision for a lot of luke warm guys. The main stay of guys live and breathe football, and or dream of the nfl would chase that dream through the business end of a mack truck for a chance.

I think there will be a lot of eyes on Richards and Waggoner this year, whats a realistic expectation for them in year 2 (though richards didnt really play year 1 did he?)
STs regulars and rotational players in the offense. Maybe less for richards since he was banged up soo often in his rookie year.

Adams looks interesting, walkers scout reports were about as sad as any prospect ive seen since glen big baby davis.
