Not sure if we still have his CFL rights, or how that works, but I was wondering the same thing. It would be a bit of a slap in the face for VA, but you want to put the best team out there.

Gurn Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Adams is 31 Rourke is 26. Maybe bring Rourke back, and trade Adams? could boost a weak spot on the team, or go with draft picks, for future strength. I have to admit, with Vernon, I'm always waiting for his turnover tendencies to pop up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton, maybe....BLM looks pretty much done..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Elks were brutal, losing 44-28 to Hamilton. And that score is only because Hamilton put in the back up players for the last quarter and a bit. TSN trying to hype up the play of Tre Ford, who did get the last 20 points the Elks scored. garbage time, against almost zero pass rush. Elks are now 0-7--- and the points differential is getting worse. It was 34-8 after 3 quarters of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 What a stinker of a game. Gotta get their act together...that's two in a row and things'll slip away quickly like this. Sometimes VA goes for too much and wants to be the hero. Settle in and get some first downs rather than going for broke in one play. Love him, but he can run very hot and cold. He and McInnes had some great chemistry and Hatcher coming back is an adjustment. But if you're the best, you adjust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spur1 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 One or two runs in the first quarter is ridiculous. You can’t just out and throw long balls, they need to be set up with the run and screens to keep the rush honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, you gotta adjust or look for a coaching replacement. We'll get killed in November with no running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 They went and got Stanback in the off season, to be the running game and: 8gp 98 carries 431 yards avg 4.4, 17 longest 1 td. averaging 12 carries per gam or 3 per quarter. Now have to play the back up quarterback. The guy that got almost no play time in previous games, despite a few large leads. iirc Campbell was saying a few weeks back that NFL keeps playing the starter, to defend his usage, but ..well here we are.

runningback33 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 0 points…how many times has that happened to the Lions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Adding into the lack of running game-do the Lions even have set plays that call for the quarterback to run the ball-other than those short yardage plays? Adams has had many good runs, but iirc they are all because of defensive pressure, and receivers being covered. ------------------------------------------- League wide, when is the last time you saw a fake punt?- Heck is it even allowed, anymore?

Lions need Buck Pierce as their offensive coach. Even when Winnipeg was losing he was calling a solid game. Adams has been off for a couple of games now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
