May 1, 201411 yr comment_48339 Just saw this on twitter and was about to post it. Any real surprises there? Not really i guess.
May 1, 201411 yr comment_48343 Guess releasing the american center probably means they will take one of lavertu or goosen. It is interesting that they worked out lavertu the other day and goosen yesterday and then release this guy today, must mean they are sold on both of them.

Or maybe he was never a center prospect and he just turned out to be not very good
May 1, 201411 yr comment_48347 Sims surprises me a bit Especially since Aaron Kelly is still on our roster. Bellefeuille bromance? I'd rather bring in a reasonable prospect for a look in training camp, hell if we really need Kelly back I'm sure he'll be available.

Don't even get me started on Aaron Kelly, I have no idea why he's still on our roster. For everyone that loved to rag on Jade Etienne, here's an import who tons of people seemed to fall in love with because of a few spectacular catches despite the fact that he actually produced LESS than a guy like Jade. If we're going to be competitive, we should be able to do much better than Aaron Kelly.

May 1, 201411 yr comment_48360 Still don't see where we would have ratio flexibility to have an import kicker...
May 1, 201411 yr comment_48364 Still don't see where we would have ratio flexibility to have an import kicker... How so? All it does is take away one import backup. Not ideal of course but definitely do-able and worth it if he is better than our other options. Also allows us to keep a couple extra Canadians on the roster.

Not ideal of course but definitely do-able and worth it if he is better than our other options. Also allows us to keep a couple extra Canadians on the roster. If he handles both duties and gets us an extra five yards every play, it makes sense... If Newman and Bucknor perform, that helps... If Watson, Stephan, Alexander stay healthy... lots of ifs Otherwise, I'd rather burn all three DIs on defence

What if Renaud has another bad year? What if Hajrullahu isn't ready? To me, this is just covering all your bases and giving yourself options. Nobody has said we are going to use an American kicker for sure. But is nice to have a good one around if our Canadians can't do the job. I still think Hajrullahu/Renaud is Plan A.

If Watson, Stephan, Alexander stay healthy... lots of ifs Otherwise, I'd rather burn all three DIs on defence it's obvious to me that they won't be going with the DI LB/DB and it'll be a NI filling that role. Too many NIs of that type on the roster so naturally that's where they'll get the DI spot for a kicker. Think that was the plan all along with the talk early on that they wanted Waters to kick.

I'm not huge on Aaron Kelly... but considering he came off the streets and had 3 more catches and 60 more yards.... Etienne with his 3 years should of had much much more stats then Kelly... not a good comparison. Regardless.... with Moore I assume Kelly is TCF....
May 1, 201411 yr comment_48402 Ain't no way Kelly wins that WR spot unless Walters and co. have really bungled their scouting this off-season.

And what do you mean off the streets? It's not like he wasn't an experienced CFLer.
May 2, 201411 yr comment_48435 Per game, Etienne was more productive. And what do you mean off the streets? It's not like he wasn't an experienced CFLer. Off the streets meaning he wasn't with the team during training camp and pretty much came out of not playing to out perform a guy who was 3 years in with the club! The fact that Etienne couldn't make the club over this guy is a sign that either our coaching staff was / is incompetent or that Etienne simply sucked the big one.

Why would they ever have been competing against eachother for a roster spot? One is American, one is Canadian. Literally no idea where you're going here.
May 2, 201411 yr comment_48439 here's an import who tons of people seemed to fall in love with because of a few spectacular catches despite the fact that he actually produced LESS than a guy like Jade. If we're going to be competitive, we should be able to do much better than Aaron Kelly. I think it's because he made the biggest two or three offensive plays for us in our improbable Banjo Bowl victory last year. First impressions are weirdly powerful.

May 2, 201411 yr comment_48455 our coaching staff was / is incompetent well there's certainly no evidence to support that claim....
