Entertaining and a solid victory

The stop on the goal line by JMo was incredibly important and it certainly seemed to be the huge difference

A very nice road win for the Jets.

All of that speculation above seems pretty incongruent with the fact that a UFL team not only drafted him just a few months ago, but then offered him a contract.

The visa issue appears to be biggest hurdle for him at this point.

Chicken and the egg, he probably can't get the working visa unless he has proof of employment and he can't get paid legally until he has a working visa.

4.6 40yd dash according to this:

He looks like an American version of Tommy Nield but on that tape there was no evidence he has much YAC ability.

Toews for the Masterton

This should be a slam dunk.

From couch to being a top FO producer, the Masterton is never about going from m'eh to superstar, but overcoming life altering situations to play again in the NHL.

Toews wasn't a top line performer on this club, but he did contribute, and purport himself in a professional manner and as a mentor.

Yes, he deserves this award.

Landeskog, and Eberle, will give him a run for his money.

The size of the players is a factor imo but not critical.  Can they play consistently, can they adjust to the CFL game and are they good in the room.  Some folks have focused on the size of our receivers and DB's in recent years.  To me, just bring in the best talent possible, the rest will work out if they are ballers.  That all said I like the size of this receiver.   Anyone got his speed #s?

It could come down to the team being willing to take responsibility for him as his employer, they would have to accept liability for his time spent in the US and ensure he follows all rules and leaves when he's supposed to.  There may be more hoops to jump through with ICE now more involved. From an employer perspective that's taking on a lot of extra hassle which they may not be equipped to deal with.  Perhaps they also realize he intends to leave for the CFL within a few months and they won't realize any payback.

We have been so spoiled at RB for a very long time.  I hope we can find another Canadian when he is done his career.  Makes me so proud to have had such great talent in this position for so long with the right passport.

thanks for the info guys, this will be an very interesting camp as always but we are going through a wee bit of change and need to rebound this year.  Preseason is one of my favorite times of years, watching the game is great but also the info we get on here from folks at practice is just awesome.  Roster insight and guessing games on who makes it is also a fun one!  Will be fun once the forum starts building their depth charts and pecking order for PR.
