Probably. Would love see what Ayers can do on D. He's been dynamite on teams. No mention of Brady or Demski on the injury report so that's positive.

I get it you don't like Rourke because he's been anointed by the media but this is crazy. By your standards Brady isn't a true Canadian. Doug Brown isn't. Enough with the true Canadian bullshit.

I think Rouke will be a good QB (especially with the state of QBing in the CFL) but it remains to be seen whether he can be elite. He had a real hot 9 games in 2022. That's it

Haven't been able to watch the game yet but that was my question too. Did Ayers get in at all when Biggie went out?

Nobody had said he should start. We’re talking roster spots only. if you bring Murphy on as the backup receiver, then you can take Johnson off the roster and start Lucky and Lawler. Keep Adams on and take one of the CDN d-linemen off

No one will suspect it when Johnson goes for 200 yards!

I'd be surprised if he doesn't get in on offense.

Start Lucky and Murphy backs up. Lucky can return kicks and play receiver I'd bet.

The point would be for him to come on as a back up so that an American like Adams can play and contribute. Johnson has show virtually nothing at receiver.

It's definitely a click bait take. He can't believe Rourke is better than 1/3 of the starting QBs in the NFL (not to mention all of the back ups, all CFL QBs, all college QBs).

Injury report had him at full participant with a "head" injury. So I guess so. Looked bad though.

Ahh didn't know he was back. Then ya I'd rather he come on as the back up receiver. I know. The question was why can't we take out Johnson for Haba.

They need a back up receiver on the roster. Too bad we're out of Cdn back up receivers now. I don't it was anything Adams did, they just wanted Haba on and they weren't going to take out Willie, Garbutt, or Woods, so Adams is the odd man out. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

FWIW John Hodge says no limit to marketing money

Adams!? Come on man. I'd love to see Haba back in the rotation but don't mess with success.

"Rourke’s compensation in those seasons includes $200,000 in marketing money, which does not count against the league’s salary cap. As such, his cap number for 2025 checks in at $549,200 and $609,000 for 2026." Can someone remind me on how this marketing money works again? Is there a limit to it?

I wouldn't be surprised if Rourke dresses as the #2 and then comes in part way through the 1st Q when the other guy sucks.

Interested to see what numbers Rourke is getting. Any signing bonus plus is weekly salary for the last nine games can't be insignificant. VA was already paid a lot of his salary. I'm sure they just don't care about the cap and are going all in to win at home this year.

This is what you say before you trade a guy.

How can the plan not be to hand the reigns to Rourke? They just signed him for 3 years. Haven't heard $ yet but he must be the highest paid QB in the league.

West is wide open. Going to be a fun second half of the season (or a crushing one full of missed opportunities).

I don't know if Eli is a better centre than Kolo but I'm tired of seeing Kolo pushed into Zach and BO's laps.

Why did Ajou go so late in draft again?

Depends how serious Woli’s injury is. He’s on the 6 game but not sure how set in stone that is

Isn’t lawler expected back next game? I’m still in favour of Bailey brought back and starting 4 Americans at receiver while Woli is out and then designating an American vet and the naturalized Canadian for the 8 ratio spot
