October 21, 201311 yr comment_26041 They tried to make Bowman the deep threat on the team here... He sucks at that and still does.... Lapo tried to make him Jason Tucker, he had trouble tracking the ball on one set of routes on the tree and they kept trying to force that corner route until they destroyed his confidence in that offence entirely. Bowman makes lots of plays on deep balls, did here, in Regina and in Edmonton now.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26047 Foster did not dress in BC for a reason, i just cannot see why he is playing here.The only reason could be, we traded to get him and we don't want egg on our face.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26049 Maybe the BB know what they have in Etienne and want to evaluate Foster at game speed so they can make an Etienne vs. Foster expansion draft decision?
October 22, 201311 yr Author comment_26054 Maybe the BB know what they have in Etienne and want to evaluate Foster at game speed so they can make an Etienne vs. Foster expansion draft decision? Good point. Their both free agents, so the evaluation could be who to prioritize as a free agent.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26057 Etienne can catch....Foster who needs a fast decoy? Wally wanted Buck as a calming influence for his QBs.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26059 Maybe the BB know what they have in Etienne and want to evaluate Foster at game speed so they can make an Etienne vs. Foster expansion draft decision? Why evaluate FAs for the expansion draft? We won't be protecting them and for good reason

We won't be protecting them and for good reason You keep saying that but it's not necessarily true.

We won't be protecting them and for good reason You keep saying that but it's not necessarily true. That's why we protect Henoc ... still Ottawa has said they won't select FA's and why would they pick bargaining rights for anybody except superstars I expect with Ottawa's brand new team starting from scratch the bidding wars in February will be furious compared to most years ... drafting FA's will make that worse for Ottawa, not better
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26072 Why would Ottawa take Henoc. He clearly will not sign before Feb. 15th so they can get him them if they want to pay the price and not waste a pick in the expansion draft.

October 22, 201311 yr comment_26081 maybe but theres to be a ton of interest, some heavy in Henoc once FA hits... trading anything for exclusive rights to sign for a shorter and shorter time frame seems dumb to me.. kids gonna listen to as many offers as possible, especially with his ****** of an agent..
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26083 Foster did not dress in BC for a reason, i just cannot see why he is playing here.The only reason could be, we traded to get him and we don't want egg on our face. sadly I think your kinda right.. i imagine they are playing him to show him off to ottawa in hopes they like what they see.. if not, cut or traded I would assume will happen with what ive seen since the trade..
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26087 I would suggest that the Mike Riley trade was made on the basis that a Edm had permission to talk to Riley and a contractual agreement was in place. Given Henoc's agent and his possible desire to go south I doubt that would happen in this situation. He wants to be a pure FA and will wait.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26096 Foster is a good Canadian backup, but he has no business playing over Etienne.
October 22, 201311 yr comment_26133 Stock piling NI's for the expansion draft is a good move no matter how you slice it.
