Posted June 4, 201411 yr comment_54038 Darren Cameron @Darren_Cameron DT Ryan Lucas has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. #Bombers
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54039 That sucks, I feel for Lucas. He worked hard to come back from his injury last year and now this?
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54040 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Ryan Lucas is done for the year with a torn ACL. Mike O'Shea started tearing up when talking about it. #Bombers I love O'Shea. His players are going to go to absolute war for him.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54042 I wonder how this changes the plans for managing the ratio this season?
June 4, 201411 yr Author comment_54043 That really sucks looked like he had come back pretty nicely from the injury last year and was having a good camp.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54045 As far as the ratio goes ... if we weren't going 4 OL before, we probably will be now. Or you swing a trade with Hamilton for a DT.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54051 As far as the ratio goes ... if we weren't going 4 OL before, we probably will be now. Or you swing a trade with Hamilton for a DT. Even if we go 4 OL, we desperately need to add another Canadian who can play, likely a receiver or DL. The chances of Watson surviving 18 games are pretty low, our depth is wire thin, we lose a couple NI's who we're counting on to play on O or D and we're totally screwed, we've already lost one.
June 4, 201411 yr Author comment_54052 Do you think they double back and move Quinn Everett back to DL
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54053 That really sucks for him. Doesn't even get to see a second of game action and his season is over.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54054 Terrible terrible news for Lucas. Hopefully he can come back from this. On the flip side, hopefully we can get someone else in ASAP that can fill the position and get some training camp time in.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54055 Trade Hamilton for the rights to Evan Gill immediately. He'd play here.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54057 Do you think they double back and move Quinn Everett back to DL I haven't watched a second of him in camp (allergic to shade or something like that) but that was also what I was thinking. The Dline was going to feature Thomas and Lucas rotating with some guys in other positions to get that 7th NI. Can Everett be ready to take on that responsibility by the time camp breaks?
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54059 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54060 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all?
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54061 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all? I would assume NI depth as tenuous as it is right now, at any position, will not allow us an import kicker.
June 4, 201411 yr Author comment_54062 You think with all the non import DL Hamilton has they are going to have to release one or two at the end of preseason.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54064 Ugh. Suuuuuuuuuucks for lucas, he was really coming along nicely.. Heres to stealing a player from hamilton at cutdown or via trade
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54065 Yes, it sucks for Lucas, big time…what a huge disappointment. *Also sucks for kicker Brett Maher…his chances just slipped lower….for now. Why would Maher be affected at all? I would assume NI depth as tenuous as it is right now, at any position, will not allow us an import kicker. 4 DI's this year. There's room for him if he earns it.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54066 Too bad for Lucas, this is probably the end of his career here though. He got injured last season too. Up there in age too isn't he? wont be easy coming back from an ACL injury.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54068 You think with all the non import DL Hamilton has they are going to have to release one or two at the end of preseason. Edmonton had a glut of NI Dlinemen and carried all those guys last year (year before?, crap I'm getting old) without dropping one. It would be nice if it happens but we can't plan for it.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54112 Non import depth could be a serious issue moving forward. I'm not sure starting 4 nip o line is an option. This team had serious challenges starting 3 last season...4 might be a huge stretch.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54132 Brutal to hear. Assuming they'll go Thomas at DT, Newman at LB and Alexander at S in a rotation for NI spot 7.
June 4, 201411 yr comment_54134 Too bad for Lucas, this is probably the end of his career here though. He got injured last season too. Up there in age too isn't he? wont be easy coming back from an ACL injury. He'll be 30 by the end of the year... definitely still time to recover.... but this is very unfortunate news.... I was looking forward to seeing him on the d-line this year
