Brains too. But hey, all frederick did was cover like a blanket. Didnt play teams.

We could still have activated him to our active roster and blocked them from taking him.

With the way our secondary has played of late, if we get poop back in the starting lineup I think its a lot closer then that. Agree with this. We are fighting to lock up a home play off game. Imo, we allready have at worst the cross over spot. Not mathematically impossible that we miss. But would be pretty crazy. agree soo much with this. The week off is a huge trap.

ehh prospects of reasonable value get pretty big signing bonuses these days. the top 100 prospects at or below AA all out earn a big number of current NHLers. But when you look at the guys who arent in that tier, the ones like the young cflers trying to make a go of it its a great comparison. The lions tried to claim spooner. He would have started, and got that starters money. A real chance to be a now guy. But he passed on it to stay here and continue to develop. Thorpe left, taking no pay and no spot else where instead of sitting on the PR. With his play he deserved to be on the roster. But some times that just isnt enough. If he quits for ego, he isnt the type of guy a team needs around. We wont ever know the real case. Heavens knows weve made curious and head scratching talent decisions before and will continue too. I hope all goes well for thorpe, so long as it doesnt hurt the blue.

Calgary has the better team. But in the clutch/play offs when you need to win id take our team.

the real question is why doesnt any one rock the 00? Harold nash had the best number ever.

That stuff happens. Some thing similar happened with kerry joseph. He had last played saftey as well. But those cases are rare. Also, our team is run differently. Being as we are a play off team our existing player talent isnt an issue (in general) and mos is a players coach. It isnt easy to lose your job as a vet on this team. Thorpe easily out played a couple of our wrs, but was the one who got sent packing. Air lifts arent as common as they used to be. In part because the general talent level of the league is higher then it was 20 years ago. And also (in part because of that fact) teams dont fall out of contention nearly as early as they used to. So wide sweeping desperation moves arent common. Rb is also maybe the most plug and play position. Not soo much is demanded of RB as it once was. In terms of number of touches any way. And it has the highest talent level + availability.You cant just dig up a DB with excellent coverage skills. But you can dig up a RB who can make the first guy miss / or break the tackle fairly easily. It also has to do with the ease of getting a RB the ball. A wr has to run a good pattern, beat coverage, get a good pass then catch it. A rb gets handed the rock.

The gap between the median and average is sad. And so is the amount of people under 20k. Iirc players get a housing stipend, or housing food etc. Its not the life one would associate with a pro athlete. But its not some one working 3 part time min wage jobs trying to make ends meat. I would like to see them make more, I think we all would. The dollar conversion is tough too. Paying out in USD could cause serious trouble in tough times. And bumping pay with out increasing league revenue could be just as dangerous. Really have to hope for the league to grow. Realistically, a strong turn around for the argos franchise would go a long long ways in the next TV deal. Which will be a big difference maker. The story of guys from AFL/AFL2 especially from the PR down there (back in the day) is scary. Living off next to nothing, PB sandwiches, full time work borrowing money to go to try outs and open camps.

does that count against the cap? If you pay over the 750. average pay isnt a good tool though. Id bet more then a weeks pay far more then half the population makes far less then that average. I would like to see more money for Pr guys though. And for players in general. The sub star to lower tier stars (randell. mo etc) dont make nearly enough for the toll taken on their bodies for playing.

Is it still the case that teams have the right to pay PR guys the same as if they were on the roster? Used to happen a whole lot. Not sure how it works or if it does at all with the cap.

thats the truth. especially coming off such a long lay off. Makes me a lil nervous for GSP. i really really really dont want to see him lose to bisping. His cardio is generally excellent, but being out of the ring that long is a huge detriment.

blaszko is also a good NI prospect. imo wolitarsky is a closer to productive prospect with higher up side. Givens is also a good prospect, but not an NI. The primary reason i would like a 2 starting ni wrs is to get poop back starting.

thanks, would that be tickets sold or at the stadium?

did any one hear the attendance / tickets sold for the game?

Not far off mcg and a few other big draws in the ufc. Though i would mainly put that on excitement and not having fought in like 2.5 years. His cardio from kick boxing is dramatically stronger then that.

Hate friday/sunday ufc cards. Gokhan saki was fun to watch. Wonder how high he will go. Essentially no grappling game, cant see him against dc or if rumble comes back. Gus could be a fun match up. Though i imagine they will feed him some low rated cans for a while.

Id love to see coates and jfg start, wolitarsky back em up. That way we could go back to starting poop and rotating jake.

ya mo was close for me again. He could be a star every game.

1 Darvin adams. 7-195 1 td. and narrowly missed another deep ball when he had 3 steps on his db. Made the big plays. and the short ones. Elite wr. 2 Harris/flanders. 215 yards combined 2 tds. Tons of first downs and tons of time killed. They really mashed the ott defense and changed the pace of the game forcing them to slow the blitzes. 3 Nichols. 23/34 2 tds. 1 freak, freak pick. Finally got the closer in controlled the game and made the weather look trivial. hh Lots of potential here. Jeffcoat holding up the rb, forcing the fumble and recovering it. Davis coming in and leading the blocking for flanders. But im going with darvin adams again. He gets tackled, both arms wrapped up before the ball arrives. Gets the flag. But still makes a sick catch. It wasnt needed, just icing on the cake. Like the whole game was.

that doesnt include scratches but ya.

Thank you ollie williams.

Even if he stays on the IR his bonus counts towards the cap in atleast one year of his deal. Even then I dont know i buy that chris jones would waste money on a move like that. but thats just my opinion.

never enough guys who can stretch the field imo

200-300k. 100k cheaper then durant. Even if he makes no more then 200k this year, that 200k was long gone in the off season. With kienan lefrance back (and if owens comes back) on the roster it only goes up. http://3downnation.com/2017/01/25/kevin-glenn-contract-relative-bargain-for-riders/

yeah hope not i like this commish would hate for the crieders to have to fire a 2nd commish...
