When isn't Bertrand hurting? The guy is always dinged up and always manages to answer the bell it seems.

Seems like the message here is that Bertrand is not going to answer the bell this weekend and our other two FBs are already on the IR. This one sounds to me like something on Bertrand is broken...

Wow. Add to that Mike Stadnyk (according to a thread at RF), a former Rider reject DE. Tillman is starting to set up the same bloated roster here that he had in Regina. Hope he can find enough hotel rooms.

Re: eskies snag FB

You know football players are always hurting in some way but they manage to find a way to play despite the pain. This fact kind of reminds me of when I was attending a hockey game and a player from the home team scored a hat trick. Some of the fans went ahead and threw octopus on the ice. Somehow I managed to convince a lady that was sitting next to me that one of the players had lost a kidney on the ice --and she believed me !!! Now that's playing with pain -- losing a kidney and going ahead and continuing to play...

Well if Lubchenko can kick a winning field goal after Homer ran him over with that parade float...you gotta know that football players are tough!

Re: eskies snag FB

Not that I really care if they pick up Bowman , but if you can snag someone off of a pr after the trade deadline why can't you sign a free agent??

Whoever said you can't I suspect you are wrong.

33 years old this off-season, which isn't necessarily pasture time for fullbacks, but it's in that range where it's possible.

Hope that the injury is nothing too significant, as I still feel he is a very under-rated component.

if you read the thread the crazy rider fans mention that they wouldn't trade Shologan for Fred Stamps. (i.e. Shologan > Stamps)

Also under-utilized.
