Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot
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.

Re: Lions' receivers
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.

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot
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...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
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 ...

Re: Lions' receivers
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.

Re: Dave Ritchie
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.

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot
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.

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
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"...

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

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
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...

Re: Thoughts on getting Stanback?
I think the signing of Stanback as well as the earlier attempt to sign Oliveira are pretty strong indicators that the Lions intend to have a more balanced attack in 2024. Part of getting Stanback to sign on surely involved convincing him that he will play a prominent role in the 0, which means more ...

Re: Woody Baron & Quincy Mauger released
Mauger is a strange release. He acquitted himself quite well at both Free Safety and Strong Side Nickleback. There must be more to the story that is not public.

Re: Thoughts on getting Stanback?
I wrote in another thread that I much prefer the Lions landing Stanback at a Cap friendly price vs overspending on Brady Oliveria, which almost happened. At 6' and 233lbs Stanback should be a real asset in short yardage situations. Since the Lions don't appear to have a decent short yardage QB, I wo...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents
In terms of SMS spending limits, I prefer a Cap friendly Stanbeck vs a very expensive Oliveria, so I am quite happy the way things worked out. And of course Stanbeck's salary allows more $ for Betts. With the Als seemingly out of the picture with signing Betts, I think having a career season playing...
