When they changed TC practices to more walk throughs than actual hitting and play making, I lost interest in attending as it just seemed more difficult to figure out what was going on. Yes, that's another factor. There are still some padded practices in camp but I don't even try to evaluate line pl...

Adding Patmon makes 20 wr on the roster headed for camp give or take a few that may yet be added or sent packing. The anticipation of which one steps into the starting role is already quite intriguing. To think there might be two new faces with little to no tape for teams to study could lend itself...

Lions sign Jean Delance.

This guys sounds kinda sketchy to me; more like someone Chris Jones would be interested in. He was undrafted by the NFL, so another question mark.

Oh yeah, am going with my wife on our wedding anniversary weekend . The secret to a happy marriage is to marry a wife who is willing (and wants) to go to Winnipeg for a football game for an anniversary

Sounds like the wife is a keeper.

I think Rourke is in a bit of a tough spot in NE. The HC that signed him, Belichek, is gone as is the OC. While NE's new OC has worked out Rourke in Cleveland, there really is no one in NE with any sort of commitment or belief in him.

Yeah, Claypool has NFL level talent, but from where I sit it appears he does not have pro football maturity. I don't think his ego would allow him to play in the CFL.

I see where the NFL is considering tweaking their emergency 3rd QB rule so that teams could use a PS player as opposed to having to activate the player to the 53 man active roster to be available for emergency use. The biggest benefit would be that teams wouldn't have to pass the QB back thru waive...

3 Down Nation provide some insight from McElvoy and Campbell on their big free agent offer to Brady Oliveira and how the consolation prize was at least driving up the price for the Bombers. Would have been interesting to see what their roster would look like had he signed here for that price given ...

I think the reality of the salary cap with 6 receivers on a roster, at least one and maybe two of the 6 need to be on their 1st contract at a low price minimum $$. In other words Rhymes and Lucky were deemed too expensive.

I agree with Blitz about Mathews and Ritchie having great Defensive minds; arguably the best ever in the CFL. They are both my 2 favourite Lions coaches.

The way I look at it, with Mac Jones gone that's one less QB that Rourke has ahead of him on the depth chart. For sure the Pats draft a QB but not for sure they sign a veteran QB. So perhaps 1st round drafted QB starts and Zappe and Rourke battle it out for backup QB.

Would love to see Maksymic implement a "smashmouth" formation at certain junctures of a game to take full advantage of Prukop's running ability and Stanback behind him. Are you saying more "up the gut" type plays? Is that you Mr Buono? :wink: ^^^LOL. To me, "smashmouth"...

Ritchie was a genuine character who wore his emotions on his sleeve. A great coach too.

I was pretty much expecting a new extension and raise for VA. He should be considered in the top third of CFL starters but was on a pay scale that put him in the bottom third. Now is the time to bump him up and nice work to lock him up for two additional years after this coming season. While I have...
