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. It's not a matter of IF NE dra...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

It'd be naive in the extreme to think that the Bombers bringing back Chris Streveler are relegating him to just short yardage and aren't thinking creatively on how to use his talents. I think the Bombers offense with Buck Pierce at the helm has taken their playbook every year since Lapo and added o...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

have to wait to see who NE brings in as a veteran backup. I think Zappe also is in a bit of a tight spot, not necessarily performance-wise but perhaps in terms of asset management. He may need to beat out the incoming vet to secure a spot.. One thing we do know is NFL teams don't like to carry 3 QBs...

Re: Lions' receivers

3000 yards between Hollins, Cottoy, and McInnis would be huge which still leaves 1800 for the others to get V.A. to 4800 yds which is about where I have him slotted in. Still plenty of time and there will be training camp cuts but I think they add one more receiver of note. As is losing Hollins to ...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, New England is re-signing Rourke before he becomes a free agent. Yes, B.C. Fan, I just read that (link below). Unlike when he went to the Jaguars who had a high-quality starting quarterback, he will now be with a team with two mediocre QBs--Mac Jones ...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Appreciate the update on Mills. I forgot about 2022 and was fixated on the recruitment and development by the Stamps. Proof will be in the pudding but not often you see a team replace a top running back like Carey through their system with a player like Mills. No disrespect to Peyton Logan. Those a...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

-Leonard, Baron, Sewell, Davis — you could put together a pretty formidable DL with the remaining FAs albeit all 4 are on the other side of 30. Baron is the youngest turning 31 in August. Stick Simoni Lawrence and Larry Dean behind them and you have a good start on an expansion team. Might patch an...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

Seeing Calgary continue to bring in big bodies suggests the rebuild continues and we'll see a different team in 2024. Not really anything new with the exception of more spots open this year particularly on the O line and wondering about Hugh Thornton and Jamaal Campbell who appear to have not been ...

Re: Touchdown Pacific in Victoria 2024

Curious how they are including the Grey Cup option and if they are asking for money now for that. I would love to see home town season ticket holders get a deal on their seats. I bought my Grey Cup tickets last November when I renewed my season tickets and switched seats for 2024. They're paid for....

Re: Touchdown Pacific in Victoria in 2024?

The Lions aren't giving fans much time to decide whether they will use their season tickets for Touchdown Pacific. I got an email today giving me until this Wednesday, March 6, to declare whether I will use my tickets or surrender them for public sale. Given that it would probably require an expens...

Re: Yikes! Lions 2024 potential free agents

A lull in the action to say the least with good players yet to be signed. Still think A.C. Leonard ends up back with the Elks and it's just a matter of at what price. Odd that it has dragged on this long. Believe Winnipeg would be interested as well to replace Jeffcoat who isn't much older but can'...

Well my supposition didn't age well. I hate burning my annual mistake so early in the year. :wink:

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

Intriguing idea of Nathan Rourke back to Jacksonvile. It'd make sense not that that puts him closer to actually playing with CJ Beathard there but Trevor Lawrence got banged up a bit last year and they need him to not turn over the ball. I always thought some of that might be due to his nagging inj...

Re: Rourke now a NE Patriot

Looking far more likely that Rourke won't get a futures offer from New England. I read an article today on ESPN that said the Pats are not considering trading down an taking a QB later. They are expected to go with whoever the Bears and Commanders pass on out of Williams, Daniels and Maye. All 3 ar...
