kelownabomberfan Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Should have signed in Winnipeg - he could have been on the nine game by week 5! At any rate, saw this coming, and it's too bad. Kid was having a heck of a good season on a craptacular team. I never saw this game so didn't see what happened, I'll watch the replay on TSN broadband. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/eskimos-quarterback-reilly-out-indefinitely-with-concussion/article14616846/? Eskimos quarterback Reilly out indefinitely with concussion The Edmonton Eskimos say quarterback Mike Reilly is out indefinitely with a concussion, and dispute suggestions they should have pulled him from the game after he took the vicious blow to the back of his head. Team general manager Ed Hervey says staff will monitor Reilly’s progress and then make a determination when — or if — he comes back this season.

Mark H. Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 This was just a matter of time. However, I think the Esks OL is worse than ours. Reilly has been taking brutal hits every single week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Collaros, Marsh, Neiswander, Willy, Goltz, Hall, DeMarco, Glenn, Tate, Pierce, and now Crompton will all be available Quarterbacks for the Redblacks(and Bombers) that have gotten extended playing time this season(I guess one of Neiswander and Marsh will be protected by the Als but still...) Good year for an expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Well all I know is that he must be concussed. From that article: "Reilly said it was a hard hit but did not contribute to the concussion." Yeah right. That was one hell of a hit, and he was completely helpless, and yes, he will be fined. Reilly has been taking hellacious hits all year long and we all knew this was coming, but somehow, I don't think you can keep him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Reilley better change the way he plays or his brains will be like scrambled eggs. The hit was vicious but he put himself in that position so it has to be on him to take care of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Eskfans are saying that their local radio stations are saying that the concussion appears to be mild and although he will sit this week he is probable for the week after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 At this point whats the point of risking any long term damage in a year where there is 99% chance they will not make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Esks have the luxury of two QB masterminds currently looking for work - Mike Kelly and Gary Crowton - capable of designing packages and coming up with plays to make sure Reilly is more protected from now on.

Perhaps more two and outs = fewer sack opportunities We punted 157 times, which was 21 more punts than the next closest team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 not sure how wise it is to rush your QB back into playing only a week after he took such a horrible hit to the head. I watched that hit, downright awful. Not sure how Reilly got up from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Reilly and that org. are taking a serious chance here, IMO. Not to mention the fact that they are in a similar situation to the Bombers as in the season is a right off for all intended purposes. Sit him, make sure he's ready for the 2014 season and build your team around him. Treat the remaining games as a camp to determine who fits well with this QB and the defense to support him. It's sucks if you're paying money to support and watch them but probably better in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Dave Campbell @Dave_CHED1m @Kelowna.... If he's cleared to play by doctors, case closed as I see it.

kelownabomberfan Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I still can't believe they put him back in the game, even for one play. I watched that TD throw that Reilly made on the next play, he just kind of threw it up and let Chambers catch it, then he stumbled around wondering what sideline to go to. He was completely gone, his eyes were totally unfocussed. I just can't understand what they are doing in Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
