January 16, 201510 yr comment_103562 Unless we're looking for an exp guy to run the d no reason to sign tbrack What now? From your previous post you said this... are you confusing yourself? Tbrack could be a good mlb for a year or two
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103563 Based on what I've seen I'd flip those and have Brackenridge closer to the line of scrimmage. He's an effective blitzer. Agree. Plus when he's blitzing he's usually coming from the SAM area.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103579 Taman continues to chip away at some of the Riders' other prospective free agents. Sam Hurl, who has been with the Riders for three seasons, may test free agency. Taman said that Hurl wants to play regularly. That's a scenario that may not take place with the Riders. http://www.leaderpost.com/sports/football/roughriders-football/Talks+continue+with+free+agents+Video/10733876/story.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103608 Chuckle. Sam Hurl attained official diamond-in-the -rough status early last year among Prider types. Instead of, you know, actually waiting to see if the guy pan's out.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103609 I wonder if we're going to make a play for Hamilton's LB Taylor Reed. He was on the Bomber's Practice squad in 13 and then had tryouts with the Cowboys and Pats. Hamilton picked him up last year and he didn't look out of place. (Comments, Zontar?) Another LB who may hit FA is the Esks Rennie Curran. He'd sure look good in Blue and Gold.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103613 Pretty sure he re-signed Not yet, but at last that I heard, he was hoping for NFL opportunities.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103614 Pretty sure he re-signed Not yet, but at last that I heard, he was hoping for NFL opportunities. He tried it last year and didn't stick there. Then he came back to the CFL late in the season. Not sure how playing 2 months in Canada will make a difference in sticking in the NFL. That said, I also like to see him here. He can play WIL and MLB.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103625 Could you imagine if the Riders lost...and I'm only including players who have suggested they will test FA, had NFL workouts, or are gone already and by no means is inclusive of all their potential losses....Picard, Heenan, Hurl, Brackenridge, and Peters. That represents 20% of their starting lineup and is likely not even close to all the players they may lose. I know Taman won't say it, the Rider fans won't admit it, but they have got to be sweating bullets in Rider land right now. This offseason has the makings to be a Titanic like offseason similar to the one we had in the mass exodus of '08.

January 16, 201510 yr comment_103629 Quite a hangover that grey cup 2013. Nothing like mortgaging your future.

Hamilton picked him up last year and he didn't look out of place. (Comments, Zontar?) Another LB who may hit FA is the Esks Rennie Curran. He'd sure look good in Blue and Gold. Austin etc. love him. Were very patient with his development - needed to shed the weight and learn cdn football - doubt they bail on the investment if they can help it.

January 16, 201510 yr comment_103638 Watman replaces picard, peters was a new recruit, tbrack is 30, Hurl is ? Heenan hurts but riders can go two import OL
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103646 So there starting Canadians with out Heenan would be Getzlaf Bagg Labatte Watman/Clarke Best Foley ? They would have to start some one else on D the depth behind Getzlaf and Bagg is also not great.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103666 Losing butler and sheets hurt them more than all five of those guys Good one. Is it that far off? Sheets was by far the best running back in the CFL.. he was dominant. And Butler was a high end Canadian starter.
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103669 Shawn Lemon of Calgary to be released so he can sign with the NFL Steelers
January 16, 201510 yr comment_103683 Scott Mitchell @SUNMitchell According to sources, the Stampeders will release DE Shawn Lemon so he can sign an NFL deal with the Pittsburgh #Steelers. #CFL

January 19, 201510 yr comment_103873 CFL News @CFL_News QB Drew Tate has signed a contract extension w/ #Calstampeders http://ow.ly/HzLI6 #CFL via @calstampeders Surprised that Tate would want to stick around, but not surprised the Stamps want to keep him. BLM is young enough that he will get an NFL shot, nice to have a QB you've been developing for half a decade around as a backup plan.

Sheets was by far the best running back in the CFL.. he was dominant. And Butler was a high end Canadian starter. After seeing 4 different backs put up dominating games in 2014 behind that Oline, I'm inclined to say 2013 wasn't all on Sheets.
January 19, 201510 yr comment_103890 Not a guy who can make too many of his own yards but Sheets was the best back for that o-line. They made holes and he had the speed to exploit them. You can't really argue with 1598 yards in 15 games.

Sheets was by far the best running back in the CFL.. he was dominant. And Butler was a high end Canadian starter. Did you forget about Jon Cornish? Are Picard and Heenan not high end Canadian starters?
