June 18, 201312 yr Well, this is why you should tell your QB to avoid trying to make a tackle in a preseason game. Mike Reilly, you're up.
June 18, 201312 yr Too bad for the guy. How Mike Reilly does is one of the big story lines of the season. Not just in Edmonton either.
June 18, 201312 yr That was a fairly mundane play that got him hurt. It's too bad. He was looking great.
June 18, 201312 yr I think we've seen the last game played by Nichols. cue the Brink or McPherson CFL comeback.
June 18, 201312 yr Alex Brink, come on down. That 3rd stringer Edmonton has is the reincarnation of Bad Banks. Tunnel-vision.
June 18, 201312 yr Won't be McPherson .. he's signed with the AFL I dont think CFL and AFL has gentleman agreement. I believe AFL players can easily get out of their existing contracts.
June 18, 201312 yr Ouch! Sucks for him, and sucks for EDM. I guess we're all going to find out just how good a starter Mike Reilly really is... Last I heard, Adrian McPherson was pretty happy to be where he is at now. Playing in his home state, he's a big fish in a small pond (relatively speaking). Down in the AFL he is one of the top 5 passers (yardage) and the current league leader in both rushing yards and TDs... may be tough to walk away from the spotlight to back up Mike Reilly.
June 18, 201312 yr Does this earn him the label of injury prone? No, by my ciphering, regarding Nichols, it's a 20 to one ratio to Buck.
June 18, 201312 yr No, by my ciphering, regarding Nichols, it's a 20 to one ratio to Buck. How does that relate to the Lumsden scale?
June 18, 201312 yr Does this earn him the label of injury prone? I think that earns him the label of done as a football player. Last two times he's played he's suffered significant injuries... who wants to give a guy like that a 3rd chance? Feel bad for the kid but that's the harsh reality of pro sports.
June 18, 201312 yr His chances of being our starting QB in 2014 just increased. You sure are bitter lately.
June 18, 201312 yr His chances of being our starting QB in 2014 just increased. You sure are bitter lately. i lol'd and as to McPherson, good for him. i hear he's tearing up that league. i wonder if he'll be in the running for the Ottawa gig.
June 18, 201312 yr Feel bad for Nicholls. I hear he's an outstanding guy. These are injuries he can overcome. Hank tore his ACL in 1998 & missed the entire season & look he's still playing at his age.
June 19, 201312 yr Sucks for Nichols, just came back from a serious injury and sustains yet another. I suppose we'll get to see what Reilly's made of now since he's the uncontested #1.

June 19, 201312 yr It really is to bad that Nichols and Tate can't stay healthy.... the league needs solid QB's and they seem to have issues staying healthy.
June 19, 201312 yr It really is to bad that Nichols and Tate can't stay healthy.... the league needs solid QB's and they seem to have issues staying healthy. Yet slugs like Kerry Joseph never get hurt & he'll play until he's 60.
Well, this is why you should tell your QB to avoid trying to make a tackle in a preseason game.
Mike Reilly, you're up.
