July 18, 201311 yr comment_9536 Why wouldn't we dress another import receiver for this game? I just read Penton's blog & he said we're only dressing 5 receivers. That doesn't seem like a very good idea to me. Put Lucas in instead of Frazier and have Wallace Miles replace Watson. Defense takes priority over the Offense at this stage of the game. Rory Kohlert is decent enough to start anyways.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9537 Defense takes priority over the Offense at this stage of the game. Rory Kohlert is decent enough to start anyways. Let him start. We should still have a backup. Besides, is Frazier really that much better than Lucas that it's worth leaving a position w/o a backup?
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9540 Let him start. We should still have a backup. Besides, is Frazier really that much better than Lucas that it's worth leaving a position w/o a backup? Woodson is probably going to be our backup at receiver
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9541 I would find it incredibly dumb to only dress five Recievers! I also agree Burke needs to learn to filter his comments, although its not something I'd fire him over.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9542 I don't have an issue with Burke's comments or that he expressed his opinion about the incident openly. West's play in practice was stupid. Period. You have to execute with discipline and awareness .. what you do in practice translate directly over to game day. This incident shows a complete lack of both of those qualities. The loss of Watson hurts .. but it hurts us no more than any other year Watson has gone down to injury. We all like to talk about the depth we have, the talented players who just need a chance to show their stuff .. well .. this is it.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9544 Add Carter to the starting lineup - He's signed a contract and is playing on Friday
July 18, 201311 yr Author comment_9579 Watson will be out a month. After tomorrow, who's driving West to the airport?
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9588 Watson will be out a month. After tomorrow, who's driving West to the airport? Burke apologized to West and said he shouldn't have made him the villian. He said Watson shouldn't have stiff armed him either.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9610 West should be cut, you don't hurt a teammate. It's not like it was intentional for crying out loud. Players practice with intensity, and it was just a fluke accident. Had Watson walked off unscathed, this wouldn't even be a story.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9611 so who do we bring in for NI depth? Brescacin? Brock Ralph? What is Adam Eckert up to these days?
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9616 What is Adam Eckert up to these days? Not sure. Aaron Hargreaves? We could use a guy to run ten yards and just stand there on every play.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9621 I was going to say Matt Dubuc before I remembered he was actually an import. Repeat that in your heads: "Matt Dubuc was a starting import". Remember, things could always be worse.
July 18, 201311 yr comment_9632 P/R NI receivers I see on other teams we could try and grab after the game on Friday: Sask: 71 Thompson, Mitch WR Non-Import 5.09 185 1992-12-01 Regina Thunder 83 Anthony, Alex WR Non-Import 6.02 205 1991-04-09 Wilfrid Laurier Calgary: 83 Morin-Plante, Yannick WR Non-Import 6.00 195 1989-09-25 Laval Hamilton: 75 Diston, Jay WR Non-Import 6.03 185 1990-05-10 Burlington Braves Toronto: 84 Millington, Ezra WR Non-Import 6.00 195 1988-05-30 Ottawa Montreal: 88 Pierre, Youssy WR Non-Import 6.00 185 1985-08-08 Montreal Then there were all the NI cuts/free agents out there looking for work, like I had mentioned Brescacin before. Not sure how many would be interested knowing that they'd be gone again in a few weeks when Watson and Poblah came back.
