Floyd Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 If he's an extra set of eyes, I guess that's fine... but not my first choice... I guess he found Durant... and Macho Harris... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Fair enough. Guess what I should have said was that I like the experience but given the performances of the Riders lately and the TiCats in 2005-2007, I'm a little leary. Oh course, somebody is going to post a huge list of his finds and make me look like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALuCsRED Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Taman trades away a lot of draft picks, making the scouting staff irrelevant. Hard to judge a scout under Taman. Goalie and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ah, blame Taman... right. Probably not much change... We already have Smith's recruits - Hurl, Bastien, Cronk, Neufeld Lets sign Haidara and K-Groh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Labatte is the only 1st rounder I can think of... Anyway, the guys been around, there's a lot more behind the scenes than we know - I'll give him a chance now that I'm seeing past the green...

Mike Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Not entirely sure how our old national scout (which people seem to be confusing as scouting for "national" players) got a promotion to the NFL but hey, I'm not about to jump on the new guy quite yet. Seems like yet again, we've scouted a pretty poor crop of players so maybe some new blood is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ah, he's in charge of everything... weird, he has all this CIS experience it seems - just figured he was Cdn scouting Good news is we'll be getting a bunch of guys from the NY Jets camp every year now...

Outside of sifting thru other team's rosters there wouldn't seem to be anything else to scout nationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 We seem to continue to hire more staff, AGMs, scouting, admin and coaches and we are now all anxiously awaiting the fruits of their labours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
