Release WR Korey Williams (I), add T Jemarcus Hardrick to practice roster (I)
The PR was his chance to improve to the point of starting again. With the Lions are in a state of flux at the receiver position currently, he would have likely received a second chance IMO. But the PR roster doesn't pay well, it also hurts the pride and Williams may feel that he is better than that. He could have asked for a mutual release to pursue a starting roster position on another team. Seems like a real possibility in hooking up with the Riders, or REDBLACKS, both are in need of some receiver with CFL experience.JohnHenry wrote:K. Williams poor showing on special teams last year limited his usefulness with the team. E. Jackson beat him out for a receiving spot, so the writing was on the wall.
unfortunately for Cave, he is no longer in. It is pretty important in the CFL to be able to pass block and it is also why the LT gets paid the most on the OL, but with that pay comes responsibility for protecting the highest paid athlete on the team. Failure to do that and there isn't a specific job to run block in the CFL.David wrote:LT Ryan Cave was just released by the club as the search continues(!) for a left tackle. How many prospects have we brought in now to challenge for the position in the last 6 or 7 years (Ben Archibald notwithstanding)?
I feel badly for the Cave. I think he was enjoying his time here and seemed thoughtful and well spoken. His run blocking wasn't bad but I think his foot speed was ultimately his undoing. In fairness, he came here at NFL-type weight to play 1 yard off the ball and, oh yea, go up against Chick and Bowman. In time, he might have had time to develop, but "O-line" and "develop" are not in the Lions' guidebook.
So who's going to play left tackle this week? Hardrick? Moreland? Steward? Stew Hardland??

I'm not sure what your point is here. Johnson and Collins are starting in the CFL for other teams and there is a good chance that Williams will too.Qman wrote:Toot Toot !!

"All i can say is .... hopefully we better get a few good receivers thru FA camps, because the depth is not there anymore.
same for Korey Williams ... guys with your skill set have be a revolving door ... Kierrie Johnson, Drops'em Collins, etc ..."
