[Throw Long Bannatyne]

John Jones was released by the Argos. So he is available, in game shape and knows our defence. So he's a reasonable stop gap that could fill a role. He's not as good as JSK or Woodbey though.

In theory he could be here by Monday and dressed for the game on Thursday. Honestly I don't expect that but I can't think of a better option besides our Canadian LB's.

Jon Jones is a mean MLB, not a guy that could cover receivers at WIL.  He didn't play because Tony Jones never gave him the chance to steal his job.

It's rare anyone goes straight from their rookie camp to the AR or PR, especially at the packed LB positions.  What usually happens when a new kid flashes like Clinton is we invite them back for roster expansion and/or next TC.  Then they get a bit more cred.

We all liked that Clinton move chasing down Rourke.  But besides that did he do anything else of note at all all TC and PS?  Granted, if he was here chasing down VAJ this last game, that sure would have helped!

PS#1 Clinton looked pretty good, how soon we forget.
