It looked bad for Dukes on Friday. He started into a 3 club wind and just couldn't get going. Then in the second you'd think it would all come up Millhouse for him, but it didnt. By  the fourth quarter on with both our 4 & 5 QB having had better night's than our #3... One of whom had only been with us a week... And our QB2 is a GC MOP... It was going to be time to wish Cameron all the best in his future endeavors.

Jarrett Doege walks in the door and within 4 days shows Dinwiddie he's a smarter QB than Dukes.  2 days days later Dukes is evacuated through that same same door.

Maier looked like a qb I wouldn't want on my team. He looked just like he did in Calgary. Maier reminded me of Matt Nichols in his last couple of years. Can't push the ball downfield consistently on his deep throws. below average arm strength. Passes all over the field underneath. Throws 6 yards when he needs ten. Ten yards when he needs 20, etc. Maier seems afraid to take chances & let his receivers work to make contested catches & is just very conservative in his approach. You can't win with a guy like that who play so damned uninspired.

Is Alexander Hollins someone we should try to sign? He was a very dynamic receiver before his knee injury a few years ago. Is he worth a look see?

I bet he goes back to BC.

The team that released him twice in the last 5 months?

The team that tried to re-sign him 5 months ago.

He was already under contract for 2025 and he wanted to stay but that doesn't change the fact they cut him twice because they were too far apart when it came to money.  Why would the 3rd time be the charm? 

Unless he's willing to take less money, I don't see how that changes - at least right now.  A couple of injuries and guys on the 6 game could free up cap space for the Lions to bring him in later on.

I don't know what Calgary's receiver group looks like, but following Adams to Calgary seems like it'd be the natural thing for Hollins, no?

We could be worse. TiCats kept Josh Johnson on the PR. Looks like all the former bombers made the team 

All the former Bombers are/were not bad players in the least...I'm not shocked

Kyle Sampson ended up on the Ti-Cat's PR, Walters can take him back if he wants to.

The last Mitchell has shown very little so far. Unless there are undelying reasons why with a probablity of significant, rapid improvement, I would definitely bring Hollins in for a look-see. If nothing else, it would send a message.

2 and 3 are an utter joke....maybe Milligan slides in at 10...BLM??....Like wtf....and really what has Rourke proven other than the hot start having everything go right....his last 3rd of that season he was figured out...and his return lat yr was reason they bowed outta the playoffs sooner than they should have and save for BO the other 3 Canadians next are soley picked caue...they Canadian...they should be further down the lst

[johnzo]

Tyrell Ford at 9?  He's good, but one of the top ten players in the CFL?

Willie J as the top ranked DL at 12 ... does not seem to be based on his 2024 season.

Glad to see Justin Hardy on this list at 18. A receiver good enough to solo a passing attack.

Ka'Deem Carey at 19. Team: Free Agent.  ouch

Begelton at 25 is brutal, To me, he's a top ten guy.  A receiver that elevates his quarterback and another guy who can solo a passing attack.

This video put out by the CFL is going to thrill you!

I honestly can't remember the last time Trevor Harris took a team anywhere, and he's played all over the league!  Was he standing behind Henry Burris watching when the RedBlacks won the Cup in 2016?

[rebusrankin]

Milligan or Rourke, who is more overrated at this point?
