Watching Taylor Reed play in the middle last night for Hamilton.

 

Penalty aside, he's one hell of a linebacker. 62 tackles ... 8 sacks ... a couple forced turnovers ... as a rookie in the middle of the Hamilton defense.

 

Really wish we had a guy like that manning the middle of the field for us.

 

Especially because we did have him last year. And then let him go.

 

 

I was thinking the same thing but he's probably a casualty of the coaching change.   I believe he ended the season on the Bombers PR which of course made him a free agent as soon as the season ended.  Then came the coaching change and he probably fell between the cracks.  But good on the Ticats for picking him up.

Wasn't he released to pursue an NFL opportunity? 

 

(just vaguely remember the name .. wasn't he a late PR addition?)

Bowman and reed wouldn't look out of place in our LB core... Tho bowman for wild would be a bit of a stretch..

Funny how the refs catch the penalty in this game but miss it twice in our games against the Riders? 

 WBB's signed him to the PR on October 2, 2013 and then he signed with the Cowboys on November  18, 2013.  He was subsequently released  by the Cowboys on November 26, 2013.

I want a thumper at MLB .. a guy in the Elimimian mold .. need to set the tone right down the middle of the field ..

Well thats bunk! Why da hell he go join the Ticats then if we let him go to pursue nfl opportunities? (As it would seem..). Reed over kuale seems like a no brainer... Grr.

20-20 hindsight is always perfect, isn't it. Had he been with the Bombers this season and played like that, it probably would would have given us another couple of wins. Maybe even got us into the playoffs.

And it looks like he was a late addition to the Cats as he was signed on June 24, 2014*. 

 

Note:  All according to Wikipedia     

No mystery here, look who was in charge and the decisions made over the year with the roster, way too many head scratchers to expect to make sense of anything.

We all know that O'Shea wasn't going to bench Kuale unless he was forced to.

Didn't realize this. Upsetting.

You can bet a guy like Tilman keeps tabs on players like Reed and cashes in when the time is right.  Although viewed as some sort of pariah, Tilman stills knows football and funnels a lot of talent the cats' way. Too bad we didn't follow this guy long enough to bring him back. We missed the boat..again.

Had nothing to do with Tillman.

 

Reinbold coached him in college.

Didn't know that but like the Bombers I didn't follow him that close. I would have thought Eric the Red would have something to do with bringing him in. Guess he wasn't in the know like I thought. Much like us.

Archambeault would look good in blue

                                                        Archambeault  

 

Hey, you're right.

                                                        Archambeault  

 

Hey, you're right.

 

wrong shade of blue ?

20-20 hindsight is always perfect, isn't it.

 

That's why in hindsight world Stoudamire is still with the Riders.

I wonder if we were even interested when Reed came back to the CFL...

Walters & co probably were interested but Etch probably declined and said he's not good for his D not like Kuale is.
