Foley and Mallet Cut by Jets and Eagles.

[Lionheart]

Foley would help the NI ratio thingy.

He would also help that "place qb on green carpet violently" thingy

Our's Ends have been so invisible I don't even know who they are.

[Lionheart]

Don't want RGM. IMO ...

It's not only your opinion.

We should put "Just say no to RGM" on all milk carton's here in BC. lol

[Lionheart]

Dude, by 4pm..we'll see.

And there will be a trade announced today.

SweetJimmyC Nothin like 2:45 am (PT) wake up call. We'll have a
trade to announce later this morning - stay tuned to bclions.com

Yeah heard THAT one before!

What they said was they were having interesting developments happening that day.. not that they would be actually able to announce for sure.

Slack must be given, stop waving fingers. Things are happening.. gives us a bit of optimism.

Hey all,

I was checking out the Seahawks board and apparently Foley tore his groin in the last game. I don't know how serious it is, but if he's injured, he's clearly not going to be ready to go for next week.

Cheers,

James

I follow the Seahawks religiously and therefore have been keeping a keen eye on Foley and the only injury I've heard talked about was on the opening kickoff of the first preseason game Foley pulled his groin but refused to be pulled from the game. This possibly effected his performance throughout the preaseason but nothing more. Besides, I highly doubt the Jets would sign someone with a torn groin. And I'm pretty sure there are rules about releasing an injured player.

CFL Daily has rumoured that it is down to the Argos and Leos for Foley.

Helloooooo Argos

Apparently Foley is also trying to catch onto the New York Jets practice squad as well.

[joe kapp22]

Rolly Lumbala was just waived by Miami, their practice squad has to be set by Noon tomorrow.

Rolly Lumbala was just waived by Miami, their practice squad has to be set by Noon tomorrow.

I'm sure Wally and Chrisite Buono would like Lumbala back.

He has been a very good ST guy for the Lions.

Wally's determination to make him a short yardage running back, and receiver out of the backfield is IMO one of those bizarre personnel decisions that Wally has made fairly often in the last few years.

If Lumbering Lumbala returns, please make him an ST guy and a blocking back only.

Lowell Ullrich says the Lions plan to approach Foley and Mallett, but not Lumbala.

Since Lumbala is a better blocker than Lee and we don't use him offensively, then Lumbala is probably more valuable than Lee.

The biggest problem is Robertson and Lee both whiff many blocks or run right by pass rushers who they should be holding up. That's just bad coaching as those guys have little clue about the blocking schemes. Maybe Rolly learned some blocking in Miami?

Speaking of Foley, this writer claims he received a $100,000 signing bonus by the Seahawks? That's a bit hard to believe, although there were several teams after him...many of whom missed out on the Wake-stakes last season.

Foley, who received a $100,000 guarantee from the Seahawks, displayed some ability as a hybrid linebacker/end in Pete Carroll’s “Leo” concept, in which three-man fronts are augmented by a stand-up pass-rusher. The Jets needed to add depth after Calvin Pace(notes) suffered a broken foot. New York was one of the teams that Foley tried out for in April.

“He’ll play that hybrid position in New York,” Sheehy said.

At least Foley still has a chance, which is more than can be said for those players whose options have dwindled as a result of the new CBA. Wake, Foley and Sheehy all agreed that though CFL talent and NFL talent doesn’t match up at every roster spot, there are players with enough talent to make it in the bigger league – and the NFL may never hear from them without the option window.

That is true, in fairness though that franchise is currently poorly run and just threw money at Ricky Foley.

Nothing wrong with that, as I believe that is one of the better cash bonuses that has been paid, not Wake/Chick money, but still a handsome sum.

By 12:pm tomorrow Practice Squad rosters will be set so we will know one way or another what is happening with Foley.
