Re: Lefsrud Returns

So now what will they OLine look like positionally?

Re: Lefsrud Returns

Wow, a shocker. Hope he still has his game.

So does this knock Roundtree out of a job?

Re: Lefsrud Returns

Surprising albeit great news. I guess he's putting in winter wheat and rye for the next few seasons?

As a starter it would have to, although I think he deserves serious consideration as a depth player. He's head and shoulders better than any of our backups currently IMO.

That gives us a line of (L-R) McGrath, Comiskey, Bakker, Lefsrud, Kabongo.

Bakker and Kabongo just instantly became better players as of a few moments ago

Funny how that happens

Re: Lefsrud Returns

Whole-heartedly agree keeping Roundtree around if we can. He's a solid experienced player (albeit new to CFL) and we aren't losing much if he was to go in for an injury. Which happens to our line every year.

darn tootin' as well as was mentioned improves our NI ratio.

Great news, and a tip o' the cap to DM for this move...if Rountree is our depth at guard now, we are far better off than last year when it was between Carson and McLane......

Re: Lefsrud Returns

Re: Lefsrud Returns

"He'll regret packing it in so soon sooner or later. (Like my use of 'so....soon.....sooner'?)"

"Atheletes always say that the 1st year or so they are away, once they are at an age they can't play anymore they wish they stuck it out for a couple more years. Being able to play a sport proffesionally takes a on of hard work but it is also a gift not many people have.

In any case I wish he was coming back, we could sure use him."

Re: Lefsrud Returns

Pretty tough to keep an import o-lineman as a backup unless of course if he can play both guard and tackle. If the Esks can skirt the ole practice roster pay or have him stub a toe you never know. Roundtree really solidified the line last year of that there is no doubt.
