Huh. Interesting. I haven't read a single thing about the guy because I really just don't care and I only watch him play. But yeah, not a chance. Perhaps if he didn't have an absolutely disastrous combine someone might of thought more highly of the guy. Probably the worst area for depth in this draft was on the defensive line... and you combine the fact that he is slow and undersized, you're talking about a guy who is going to be in sub packages playing MAYBE 25 snaps a game. His ceiling was a 5th round pick, and I believe even before the draft, half the league's GM's said they wouldn't take him until the 7th round or not even sign him... not because he is gay, but because he is what he is, and that is not a prototypical NFL defensive lineman. Good for him if he makes it, but I think he will be the most popular 7th round draft pick cut ever. I'll go out on a further limb and say he might only have been drafted BECAUSE he's gay. He's not good enough to make a 53 man roster IMO, but I'm not sure the Rams can afford to release him now.

If Austin was able to sell Shomari Williams contract...

Etch is similar to Greg Marshall where his defenses have these fabulous starts in the first third of the season before tailing off afterwards once all the other teams catch on to what you're doing.

I don't see a spot for him.

I don't really like it myself.

What's funny is that the impairment from driving while one is fatigued is probably greater than the impairment from driving high.

If we're looking at signing ham n eggers like Bauman why on earth did we let Etienne go?

I don't think a CFL team will ever reject a player because they got caught with less than a quarter of marijuana.

I hope you're kidding. I'd rather beg Labbe to come out of retirement.

Wouldn't be my first choice. He's also a former Argo though so the connection is there.

I hate to say this, but I'm starting to DISLIKE the idea of Etch being our DC more and more. I'm not sure he even makes it through the season to be honest.

We already have Korey Banks, and even if we didn't I wouldn't be particularly interested.

Which ones do you suggest? Who is out there? It's kind of like how people get mad that we didn't sign any NI O-linemen then weren't able to name anyone who would've been an improvement for us.,

I personally like Etienne and wish we would've kept him, but it's fairly obvious that our current regime doesn't feel the same way.

Never heard of him, but looking at his history I feel as if he'll get paid without ever playing a down for us.

Two of Max Hall, Cauchy Muamba and a mid round pick is the most I'd give up for him.

Looking to play closer to home? I'm wondering if SSK left him unprotected knowing his contract situation could allow them to re-acquire him after one season. Also, they had to keep that offensive line intact. Would he really be in such a hurry to go back to Sask? Leaving him unprotected would have to sting a bit.

The only way I want two import running backs dressing is if the back up is our main kick AND punt returner.

Bring back Daryl Stephenson?

The Riders becoming the very thing they've despised for the last thirty years - the Evil Empire.

Guys like Kevin Smith & Steve Slaton would still be in the NFL if their bodies allowed them to play professional football. These type of signings rarely work out.

Montreal apparently still has him actually(and I know you were kidding).

I wouldn't want to count on a guy who was considered a downgrade from Justin Sorensen myself.

Kavis ain't looking so bad...

We didn't overpay Ollie. We signed him to meet the cap floor.
