  • For a lot of reasons, I don’t usually publically post or discuss site discipline.   Wide Right has now been banned.  This morning he used an IP address that was common to one that only Migs has used

  • Yeah... why are they signing a QB when they already have one?

  • They should get a new trainer in Montreal;)

Blake is 29. Not the same guy who was drafted. Wish him well but I'd expect he might be the injured player. Not convinced he makes the als roster even.

 

So you're saying that three years in the NFL hampered his development...?

 

He's not a young guy, he's fighting for a spot on one of the best olines in the league, i don't think theres any guarantee he makes that team. Not at the expense of Matte or anyone like that at least. 

 

Als have probably the best or one of the best lines in the league, NFL experience or not, it's not the same as CFL experience, Blake hasn't played Canadian Rules Football in how long now? It probably won't be an easy transition for him.

.@RickMoffat reporting that SJ Green has rejected a contract offer from the @MTLAlouettes. #CFLFA15

 

I wouldn't go after him, Let Ottawa overpay. 

 

 

That's not the first place I'd spend the money, but if we don't get the guys we want, I'm not sneezing at the idea of giving Willy a receiving corps that consists of Denmark, Moore and Green.  That instantly becomes the best combo of receivers in the league.

A non-guaranteed contract for a guy that spent 3 years playing against NFL competition day after day; played 12 NFL pre-season games; started 38 consecutive games at Baylor; started a full season at JuCo. 

 

If he can play at RT then he's a bargain, if he plays at center or guard like a veteran then he's basically earning a vet salary from the get go. If he can't play any of those positions then he'll be released like a plumber that didn't do the job right. Big contracts in football are so different than in other sports which really propelled it's popularity in the US. The fact that a mistake can get you fired and fans aren't stuck with the player for 3 or 4 or 5 more years with a big price tag. Blue collar guys being paid like white collar guys.

Actually, if you still have to pay a plumber if they don't do the job... CFL is pretty much the only professional left where you can get cut on performance or budget circumstances
