That's why Hufnagel got rid of him in Calgary. As a starter, he lost in the playoffs in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 & 12. That year, the Stamps lost the WSF up in Edmonton. Henry was pulled & Drew Tate finished the game. In the post game media scrum, an angry Henry Burris said there's no way he'd ever be a backup to Tate. He didn't ask for a trade but his message was clear. Hufnagel traded him to the Ti Cats later in the off season.
I hope & pray that Forde doesn't do our game. Last thing I want to see is him chowing down. But somehow, you just know Rod Black will be there talking about it constantly for the entire game.
Yeah, that is the uniqueness of the CFL with the ratio. Good & bad. There are some Canadians who stay in the league for years underperforming. Like slotback Anthony Parker when he was with the Stamps. There are other examples of players like that. At the same time, it gives other Canadians a chance to play where they may never get the chance. What made you decide to stick with the Bombers?
Why should the players control the message? What possible advantage would that give to any player that's hurt? If a player is injured then say what the injury is like the Cats did with Masoli. Torn ACL. Out for the season. CFL teams used to be very open & transparent about injuries to players & how long they'd be out of action. They're professional athletes. Injuries are part of the game & there's no reason to keep injuries a secret.
All the Lions really have is Bryan Burnham with a little bit of Lamar Durant. Duron Carter has been useless. Not a lot of targets for Reilly to throw to.
How many years has he been in the league? Almost a decade & since he was acquired from the Riders in late 2013 he's only played 2 full seasons. (One for sure. Not certain it's been two). This year, he disappeared the first day of training camp & his injury as well as possible return has been shrouded in mystery. He's missed more games than he played. That's being injury prone.
