  1. He is leading the league but Messam is playing better the biggest rb stat is YPC yards per carry average. Harris is doing terrible in this area going back since his one good grey cup year. Not all on Harris Lions need weapons at wr. Wouldn't hurt to dress another American rb to offer a chance of pace on defences. Harris reportedly stormed out today after the game didn't talk didn't even shower. Just bolted... he is Jekly and Hyde on the road vs at home. I was expecting him to play good at home like always. He has lost the speed he had before last years injury. He is a good back but his running is not his best quality it is more about his pass catching and blocking. Lions are brutal on offence both passing and running. Need to figure things out quick or this year one and done again in the playoffs.
  2. Bradford has better mobility than Foles even with his knee injuries and has a quicker release and is surgically accurate. I think the Eagles come out flying tomorrow and show that they are not only going to make the playoffs but win some playoff games too and go on a run this year. Bradford will be a probowler as long as he is protected by his o line and rbs this year. Like I said in my last posts Eagles o will be top 5 in the league if the key starters on offence stay healthy. The Eagles D is improved. The special teams is the best all round unit in the league.
  3. Eagles Cowboys is a great rivalry game will be too hype next week.
  4. Lions should cut Arceneaux to send a message. I know the o-line is bad but Harris is overrated a little as a runner he is a better pass catcher and even blocker. He needs to lineup out in space more. When running inside he gets what's blocked only and not very fast or elusive to make somebody miss. I would give Rainey more touches on offence if teams kick to Shaq more.
  5. Like I said talent was never the issue. His head wasn't screwd on right in the past know he is out to prove he deserves another NFL shot. Watched him play in the NFL with the Steelers and he looked really fast then too.
  6. Would love to see the Eagles hang a 40 burger on the Falcons on national TV on Monday night and announce to the league that when you play the Eagles this year expect to be attacked fast and furious and expect to get rekt if you can't handle the heat on offence,defence, and special teams too.
  7. I'm so excited for the NFL season if the starters on offence and D stay healthy I expect the Eagles to go 12-4 this year and then try to make a run in the playoffs. This will be a top 5 offence if the o-line and everybody mainly Bradford stays healthy. Also the Eagles have probably the most underated and best group of young receivers in the NFL right now and a young TE Zach Ertz close to a breakout year. Jordan Matthews could be the first true #1wr Eagles have had since freaking T.O. and McNabb were here. Nelson Agholor will be in the offensive ROY consideration. Better than Maclin potential. Josh Huff will boost the return game and also begin to carve out an Emmanuel Sanders like role of being able to play slot or outside depending on the matchup and beat out trash Riley Cooper for more snaps as the season progresses. Not to mention the top combination backfield in the NFL. Murray the thunder, Matthews the wind, and Sproles the lightning. The Eagles D specifically the secondary and the safeties in particular were horrible the last 4-5 years. Finally the D should be solid and might be top 15 in the league even. A vast improvement at both safety and outside corner spots. This team might not have great depth at every single position but if they can just avoid major injuries to key starters and get hot late in the year nobody is gonna want a piece of this team in the entire league come playoff time.
  8. Also I like Buono picking up Chris Rainey to spark the return game. He is out of the NFL only because he is a woman beater not for a lack of talent. Funny how desperate Buono is now. Before he rejected signing OCHOCINCO because of his violence against women arrest past and BC heavily promoting the BE more than a bystander stopping violence against women campaign. But now Rainey is okay forget he was teammates with Riley Cooper, Aaron the cholo murderer Hernandez and Percy Headcase Harvin in college at Florida. Oh and he was teammates with some qb named Tebow. Somehow those sinners got cleansed by Tebow and they won a national championship together in college.
  9. Pryor is no longer a qb he won't be coming to the CFL probably forever since he is willing to play wr and some team could keep him on the 53 if he is willing to use his size and speed on special teams and whatever else they ask him to do. He is a tremendous athlete too good for any league athletic wise than the NFL. Him coming up here would have to be for a ton of money I think he is above the CFL.
  10. Anyway if the Lions don't entertain I won't be going out of my way again to watch a live CFL game until playoffs.
  11. I'm done with Lulay gets injured every year trade him to Ottawa or something. He is useless without using his legs to scramble. He struggles when stationary and contained in the pocket. Weak arm strength after the injuries now. Trade him for a high pick and a couple of good Canadian starting players either on o-line or on d-line. I would also explore trading Elimimian for all star Canadians on o-line.
  12. Dante Marsh was right when he called him out of not being a consistent player. He is talented but too inconsistent which makes him overrated in my opinion.
  13. This team has no talent bottom line. Terrible recruiting job use of personnel. Buono is out of touch him and Shivers can't recruit good Americans now and they always have terrible Canadian talent. Tedford needs to use his contacts down south and get some NFL cuts up here pronto. I want 6 new guys minimum who are impact players. Devante Davis, Tim Cornett, these guys who can make a difference. Devante Davis went to UNLV Shivers would have seen him play when scouting Murray Lawrence. He is a big wr who attacks the ball unlike Arceneaux. Cornett another UNLV alum can return kickoffs and spark the run game.
  14. BC Lions 2015 terrible team. At least be entertaining if you can't win....

      ^ Hehe I know but the #7 is a legendary number he has the potential to be another great United player.

      But his ability and style on set pieces how he swings the ball in the box and around the wall on free kicks it reminds of a young CR7.

  16. They let Logan and Brown go. The best returners in the CFL behind Banks. What has Antolin or mini Shaq done the last 3 weeks? Terrible field position for offence to start. Receivers can't get open lulay can't hit them. Dline can't rush the qb consistently exposes secondary every single game. Last half in Edmonton game was a fluke. Logan is dangerous and Als can run the ball deceptively. SJ green will be hard to contain. Als D hits hard too also Cato equals close win for Lions at home and getting smashd again in Montreal on Labour day weekend.
  17. Nfl Preseason football is terrible and CFL is not much better. Might wake early to watch Chelsea vs Man City. Worth it?

      Could be worse. Could be Manchester United that they are playing. Wait..it's 1-0.

  18. Some better field positon for the offence would help. The return game on kickoffs and punts has been lacking. Antolin has looked decent on the punt return and Shaq has the speed to take one back to the house on kickoffs but neither guy has been able to consistently get good returns for kickoffs over 25 plus yards and for punts more than 15 yards. Meanwhile the guys they let go. Tim Brown in Calgary has been pretty average so far. However letting Stefan Logan go looks kinda bad right now. Despite his age he is still very quick and elusive though he doesn't have much top end speed. He has been decent on kickoffs and dangerous returning punts where he already has a touchdown. Edmonton had the bigger plays running the ball and on returns. The Lions d was good after half time but they still look vulnerable to the the big run as evidenced by Chad Simpson taking a simple dump off all the way to the house on one play.
  19. I just think he is used to having control and he is very specific to the types of guys he wants even I read a story where he wanted the wrist and ankle circumferences of guys measured to see how much weight they could hold and play ideally as well as be durable. Obviously you may think I'm biased but I am willing to give him this year to prove the guys he brought in are going to work better than the guys he inherited from Andy Reid. Don't know if he is a d-bag or not borderline arrogant maybe to some but I just think he has a high level of confidence in him like the greats all do and believes in his way and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him as long as they win and everyone does their job. He has very similar qualities to Belichick only difference is that Patriots have had way more success and some guys seem to pushing back to Chip because he is not a proven NFL coach yet until he wins a playoff game or two. Then I think the players will fall in line if they haven't and he will get more respect. On D-Jax he is the best deep threat in the league he averaged like 20 yards per catch last year. Him and Mike Wallace have crazy run away from the cops speed. When they run their feet hardly touch the ground at top speed but neither of those guys are #1 guys. They are both above average #2 receivers even though Wallace is getting paid elite #1 wr money.
  20. So just curious are you guys buying the Chip doesn't like black players culture/ can't relate to them talk? Boykin brought it up again and said Chip felt uncomfortable among a group of black players. Lot of smoke has to be some truth to it. Could just be sour grapes that Riley Cooper is still not gone while all the outspoken black players got cut already. I found it interesting Chip says he won't trade Mychal Kendricks not yet at the very least considering Eagles have depth at inside linebacker the same way they had depth at corner now.
  21. It has more do with how the contract is structured. I think it was something like his cap hit in the final years of the deal is really high so it would be easy for the Seahawks to cut him if he had a down year this year or got hurt for an extended period of time. Essentially his guaranteed money is done and there is nothing left for the remaining 2 years on his deal. He obviously thinks he should be paid along with Thomas as a top 5 S overall not just for strong safeties. Sherman said he supports his move because he does not get talked about as much as Thomas or Sherman for being a key part of the secondary and defence in general. Plus with Thomas questionable to start the year he is trying to put a little pressure on Seattle like Marshawn Lynch did last year and show that the defence would be really affected without their top 2 safeties back there providing that support and confidence for the corners in the pass game and linebackers in the run game to play aggressively and know they have backup. Chancellor is a rare safety who has the size and speed to cover Jumbo WR's and TE's in the modern game. He can stuff the run like a linebacker and is still athletic enough to keep up with receivers and running backs in space. One of the keys probably in the Super Bowl win was Chancellor playing injured so they couldn't use him to cover Gronkowski and instead KJ Wright got burned for a big td.
  22. How is everyone celebrating tomorrow?

      Can't celebrate on Monday too hard for those regular folk who have to put a shift in on Tuesday no?

  23. Also Brandon Boykin traded by Eagles to the Steelers for a 5th round pick. Was one of the few decent corners last year. He was a good slot guy but apparently they didn't think he would be able to match up against the mostly bigger receivers on the outside. Chip doesn't like his corners any smaller than 5 foot 11 I guess. The off-season purge continues. Kendricks is next most likely on the chopping block Eagles have depth at inside linebacker now and in the secondary. When I say depth I don't mean in terms of talent but rather the sheer amount of bodies they have to fill the backup positions. Walter Thurmond converting from slot corner to safety in a Tyrann Mathieu like role as center fielder. I find it interesting the 2 best coaches in the leauge Belichick and Caroll signed ex Eagles dbs Bradley Fletcher and Cary Williams. Maybe they think surrounded by a better scheme and talent that those players will actually be very solid.
  24. Next up is BAM BAM Chancellor of the defence. He wants more guaranteed $ up front.
