    Keys to the game for me, rock the Rourke, he’s well set up to under perform, this should be his worst game of the remaining season. Make it hard on him, don’t let him improvise with his legs, hit him a few times, contain him, and blanket his wrs like last game. It’ll be hard to do the same as we did to vaj but any thing similar will be good. He’s coming off a terrible pre season performance, hasn’t played a meaningful game or Canadian Game in a good while, hasn’t had time to adjust to the lions O or personnel, or had time to study us. score tds. Real easy, can’t keep kicking 6 fgs with multiple 50 plus expecting to win on 1 td alone. bully ball. Pound the rock early and often, we need to stick with the run and maintain that physicality.
  2. Only a matter of time till he messes this up and is gone for good.
  3. (On a 3-6 team) lol All too busy toting the teams narrative, fearing a 2nd half turn around. Once the season is over if it continues like this we will see some vague parting shots at the teams management.
  4. Yep, unless they start making exceptions for guys like him. Which is possible. The xfl in 2023 paid 1 qb 200k, and Ta’amu was likely paid that or more on his return from the nfl. His salary was never announced but they do allegedly pay some guys more. He was on the riders neglist, but stayed in the ufl. but it’s very possible he makes Pennies on the dollar. Between taxes, exchange and the reduced rate I bet he goes from 583k/ 300k to taking home 60-70k. I don’t think the ufl would pay him any thing close to a matching take home salary.
  5. Sounds like we’ve waived grimes from the pr
  6. XFL gonna scoop Kelly up.
  7. Boy that’s some good news! I’m betting he hasn’t finished the counselling because he’s FK’d in the head. Can’t believe we might actually be rid of Kelly. How fast do you think the phone rang in the lions front office when they heard this?
  8. Last Canadian on the roster, that’s not a starter lol.
  9. Back up ni wr is not a production spot lmao it’s the back end of the roster Canadian. Johnson has done little to nothing as a starter and di. It’s an easy improvement. Same thing? lol. Pretty much. Should be in camp next year not much else.
  10. Johnson off for Murphy and Adams on with another ni or the second global off makes all the sense in the world, in that it makes us notably better. When exactly do you think he’s had chances to make contributions?
  11. Bc would be looking at eating some cash is it’s all just balancing numbers. Edm with a new owner could well pull the trigger on that. Blm trade to Hamilton too. Happens much more frequently with starting qbs.
  12. We aren’t actually, Murphy is back healthy on the pr.
  13. To ensure you get him. On the free market you have to compete for his services, with really no second guy available. Same reason ott gave us a low pick for browns rights before free agency. I think it’s a question of how much value do you give up?
  14. Edm trades for vaj, then signs buck to be their hc next year.
  15. Rourke sprains his thorax, leading to farhan needing a 6 game stint on the ir after losing his mind.
  16. What’s the point of having a cap at all at that point?
  17. Not only that, Adams can play any position in a 30 or 40 front. He’s the most versatile piece in our front 6. Shades of Chris jones. They teased us with a semi competent line up last week and this week are gonna screw it up. He’d go on the 1 game or be a scratch not the pr.
  18. Ugh hate that Adams is off for Habba. Like habba but we shouldn’t be making that switch.
  19. Yep kinda surprised from both tbh. I wouldn’t want to give a guy the top contract in the league based on half a season, yikes. Vaj is for sure on the market now. I get that but at the same time bc is 1 game above .500, and have scored fewer points than they’ve given up. Hes been solid, but after getting lit up several times last year and then shut down by us plus the fact he’s already 31, I don’t think he has a place to be pissed. Some one else will start him, he hasn’t played him self into the position Rourke was when he left. Hes constantly come up just short of Rourkes high water mark. LMAO bc never learns!
  20. I think it’s a small chance Rourke would play this half a season for Pennies, so he could be an un restricted fa next year and get a cap crippling contract from some one. Idk if bc does any thing, unless Rourke signs an extension.
  21. Yeah, be nice if he was back soon. But he might need time to get in shape too. I hope when he goes on (or another imp de) its as a di and doesn’t bring off another imp dl. Nailed it. Plus we’ve got some 6 game money for air lifts to the pr. I don’t see us using that money to actually improve.
  22. Wonder if we see a reshuffle of the pr coming soon. With lawler getting healthy and lucky taking a spot doesn’t make sense to keep Alston around. Imagine Johnson to the pr and Alston goes home. Mitchell could be sent out for an nfl cut too. doesn’t make sense to keep grimes mcghee and bridges all around when we are using Kelly at half, rostering karamoko, and are dressing griffin as a back up/dime and he’s been killing it. I could see two of them sent packing for nfl cuts. Smith and case are pretty interchangeable, though I’d rather have a di who could play rb than wr. I could see him sent packing for an nfl cut too. I could see us being in the market for a de if habba isn’t going to be ready soon. A wil/sam/s tweener like Cole to replace him if he won’t be back this year would be good. A 4th qb audition for camp wouldn’t be a surprise. A punter would be really fantastic but probably won’t happen till the off season.
  23. Mtl was a good bad team before they took over. The coch and anger management took it up a notch for sure. drafted well, developed and found us talent well, didn’t get roped into over paying guys in free agency. Fajardo is making mid tier qb money, other wise they don’t have any guys in the top 25 paid. They exemplify next man up the most. That’s why they are the top team.
  24. Browns out week to week with his injury.
  25. The cc shouldn’t be able to review what ever it wants. Turn overs, scores, qb/p/k hits, should all be reviewed, but with out stopping the game. Have 2 officials in separate areas review the play independently. Each one grades the play with out knowing the call on the field. Combined with the call on the field the majority rules. Cap the time for reviews at say 2 minutes in the final 3, or 1 minute other wise. Senior director of reffing answers questions after each week on calls, with the integrity of the game as most important. Not protecting refs. In the mlb you can see how accurate refs are with the strike zone, ump grading hasn’t hurt the umps. If any thing the top tier have been shown to be extraordinary at their job.
