Jacquie Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 If Hurl is such a strong prospect for a starting LB spot, why did the Riders trade Ricky Foley for Emry (with concussion issues) instead of electing to keep both Hurl and Foley? No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time. You're assuming the Riders could have kept Hurl. You can't force a player to re-sign and you can't assume the Riders "let him walk" either. It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read they did make an offer in an attempt to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a possibility that Hurl told the Riders to sod off so he could try to follow Richie Hall here. It would be safe to assume that Hall's input to O'Shea would have been sought before signing Hurl, so Hurl may well have underutilized talents as a linebacker.

M.O.A.B. Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Terrell Parker was very good at WIL spot. I think they should bring him back. We're on a traditional D anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Saskie trades RF if they thought there was any way Hurl could play full time. Lots of ways good players end up getting run out of town. Coaches and GMs looking for someone to blame, or to appease an angry fan base are just a couple that immediately spring to mind. Look at the defensive stats and win/loss record for Saskatchewan while Hurl was MLB. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. However, blaming and then ditching a MLB is much easier than placing the blame on an underperforming big money offence and QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
