I hope the Stamps don't take Lavertu. I'd love it if we ended up with him.

If Ottawa is in the business of making insane trades today, we might as well as give them Max Hall & Steve Morely for Kevin Glenn.

I'd bet that Hage chooses play to this season. He just didn't have any interest in playing for Ottawa.

I'm not a huge fan of Kuale, and I'm even less impressed with him taking Parker's spot.

So is it basically a certainty that Ottawa is taking Lavertu?

Anybody who coaches special teams for a living has to have that ability, I feel.

Parker was lights out last season. Whether he can play to that ability over a full season is highly debatable, but its hard to believe we didn't give him a chance in TC. If our scheme doesn't use players with the ability that Terrell Parker showed, then IMO there's an issue with the scheme. Etch has gong show written all over him.

Huh. Interesting. I haven't read a single thing about the guy because I really just don't care and I only watch him play. But yeah, not a chance. Perhaps if he didn't have an absolutely disastrous combine someone might of thought more highly of the guy. Probably the worst area for depth in this draft was on the defensive line... and you combine the fact that he is slow and undersized, you're talking about a guy who is going to be in sub packages playing MAYBE 25 snaps a game. His ceiling was a 5th round pick, and I believe even before the draft, half the league's GM's said they wouldn't take him until the 7th round or not even sign him... not because he is gay, but because he is what he is, and that is not a prototypical NFL defensive lineman. Good for him if he makes it, but I think he will be the most popular 7th round draft pick cut ever. I'll go out on a further limb and say he might only have been drafted BECAUSE he's gay. He's not good enough to make a 53 man roster IMO, but I'm not sure the Rams can afford to release him now.

If Austin was able to sell Shomari Williams contract...

Etch is similar to Greg Marshall where his defenses have these fabulous starts in the first third of the season before tailing off afterwards once all the other teams catch on to what you're doing.

I don't see a spot for him.

I don't really like it myself.

What's funny is that the impairment from driving while one is fatigued is probably greater than the impairment from driving high.

If we're looking at signing ham n eggers like Bauman why on earth did we let Etienne go?

I don't think a CFL team will ever reject a player because they got caught with less than a quarter of marijuana.

I hope you're kidding. I'd rather beg Labbe to come out of retirement.

Wouldn't be my first choice. He's also a former Argo though so the connection is there.

I hate to say this, but I'm starting to DISLIKE the idea of Etch being our DC more and more. I'm not sure he even makes it through the season to be honest.

We already have Korey Banks, and even if we didn't I wouldn't be particularly interested.

Which ones do you suggest? Who is out there? It's kind of like how people get mad that we didn't sign any NI O-linemen then weren't able to name anyone who would've been an improvement for us.,

I personally like Etienne and wish we would've kept him, but it's fairly obvious that our current regime doesn't feel the same way.

Never heard of him, but looking at his history I feel as if he'll get paid without ever playing a down for us.

Two of Max Hall, Cauchy Muamba and a mid round pick is the most I'd give up for him.

Looking to play closer to home? I'm wondering if SSK left him unprotected knowing his contract situation could allow them to re-acquire him after one season. Also, they had to keep that offensive line intact. Would he really be in such a hurry to go back to Sask? Leaving him unprotected would have to sting a bit.

The only way I want two import running backs dressing is if the back up is our main kick AND punt returner.
