Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

When I read about the new NFL rule on 3QB, I wondered how it would impact Nathan. Assuming the Pats use their #3 pick on a QB, they will already have 4 QB's in camp. Rourke will have to pass Zappe to #2 spot to dress for a game as I would imagine that the rookie QB will hold the Emerg QB spot.... si...

Re: Touchdown Pacific in Victoria 2024

Apparently CHEK TV in Victoria offered pre-sale opportunities for 2 days last week. In the email that advised me of my seat location there was a link to buy additional seats. Supposedly it was good until the 29th but when I click on it I'm being told there are no seats available. Could it already b...

Re: Lions release Rhymes

Rhymes started last year like 'a house on fire'... He was the primary receiver and then he was injured. He never rebounded as our other receivers stepped in to cover his missing production and when he returned he was no longer the "go to" guy. By the end of the season, he was somewhat irre...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

Somewhat ironic that the Jags have declared Lawrence out for the game, after losing Rourke on waivers. If they hadn’t tried to shift him back to PR, they would have had two QB’s that knew the playbook in case one stumbled.

Re: Twas The Night Before Xmas

Well done Blitz!! Another classic indeed! I gotta admit that the rhyming of 'circle the sun' and 'third and one' was a laugh out loud moment for me. Lucky I was between sips of coffee.... Best of the season to all Lionbackers. I do enjoy reading and learning from the posts on this forum. Keep it up ...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

It would be great if Rourke is named to the 48 man game day roster as he would have no restrictions on his usage. By using him as the 49th man (emergency QB rule), the Pats get to place/utilize another Defensive or Offensive player as backup. I suspect this is the option they will use (at least) for...

Rourke posted a nice parting message to the Jaguars on Instagram. Jacksonville fans appear to be sad to see him leave.

Not surprising that Rourke would do this. It's classy and that is the type of person he is.

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

I hope he gets some playing time. Being on the active roster for the rest of the season makes it more lucrative and easier to sub him into the game.... As I understand the waiver rules, he is on the 53 man roster without being an emergency only QB player. I could be wrong about this, but trust that ...

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?

Toppy, I agree with you that Nthan will not be with BC next season. If Nathan does play because both QB's are unable to play, and if he does well and comes through for the Jags, they could opt not to waive him back to PR and keep him on the 53 rather than risk losing him. That would be the smart pla...

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?

I think that by waiting until the day before their game, the Jags have ensured that he is unlikely to be picked up by a team within the 24 hour waiver opening. As Hambone says, he would have to go on a team's 53 man active roster and no team would waste a spot by claiming Rourke and wasting a spot o...

Re: Is It Rourke Time for the Jaguars?

Nathan has been added to the active roster for Sunday's game, according to Farhan. Added to the 53 man active roster is not to be confused with the 48 man game roster. It remains to be seen if he actually is named to the 48 in place of Lawrence or if like last time he's the 49th man who can only st...

Re: Nathan Rourke may dress

That last sentence is one I hadn't thought of at all. The only offsetting argument is if someone took Rourke off waivers, they'd be out looking for a 3rd QB. What are the rules about waiver claims? Does the player being claimed off the practice squad HAVE to accept the claim or can they decline the...

I wouldn't say every suggestion should be adopted but I do long for a return to a time where we named things like ships and arena's and such properly. Not just some kind of sponsor brand name or after politician. If you are going to name something in honour of someone, seems that there are lots of ...
