Not at all injury related, his wife went into labour. Congrats to his family.

The study on NFL players is anyone coming off ACL isn't close to previous production until 3 years later.  Reinjury rate also crazy high (for everything hip down) and most pro football players don't make it to 3 years post ACL.

So yeah, I don't expect him to be anything like he was his first couple years and he'll have to keep working to adapt his game to the reality of where his body is.

I get that Mitchell is better than those Canadians, but also kind of a red herring because it's picking whether to dress a borderline useless American or borderline useless Canadian.  Mitchell is like a grenade they forgot to install the charge in.  We pulled the pin and there was no explosion. 

If the three-year recovery is accurate for Shoen, then we should not be expecting great things this season and by the time the three year period is over, he will not be a spring chicken any more. As far as Mitchell is concerned, IMO he has shown very little in either catches or ability to separate himself from defenders, so it ought not be too hard to find a better replacement. He may yet have a breakout game, but right now he looks like a bust. We got troubles in River City.

However we want to characterize Makonzo's role as a key player in historically bad Chris Jones D...the guy hasn't suited up for a football game in 22 months.

He's not going to play more than 35-40 snaps in a whole game including special teams.

At 5'10" and 185lb, he's gonna have to work hard.

Didn't Thomas miss the entire week of practice, yet still ended up playing?

I think that the Rider O-line is average on their best days and vulnerable. Combine that with a brittle, possibly wounded Trevor Harris and that ought to mean that a vigorous Bomber rush will sideline Harris by halftime. If so, and Collaros plays as well as last game, we have a shot at deflating the Riders in their own playpen.

Collaros always has a big old bag of **** yous for the riders.

Riders OL has given up 15 sacks.  I watched their game against Montreal - they were literally pushing them around. I think our pass rush 'can' be vigorous, but many downs it is not.

But...any given Sunday!
