Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

[acura]

As per Esks.com.
Weost Barnes to a rib injury and henry to a concussion.
No word as to how long they will be out.
4 starting receivers down.........that hurts

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Ugh. All the talent in the world but no hands to be found.

Prove me wrong, PRod!

Well, I guess this confirms it, Kelly Campbell can officially stop waiting by the phone

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Big target, unfulfilled potential, another former Rider from the Tillman years (shocking).

Perhaps with Ray throwing the ball he can rebound like Bowman has earlier.

So when are we bringing back Armstrong? DJ Flick? Hey, how about Yo Murphy?

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Why the panic? We have Bauman, the 150,000 thousand man. What a freaking awful awful signing.

I want Porter to get the ball 25 times next game. The guy thrived on work lat last year. Screw this 3 or 4 backs bit. Get porter in there and give the ball via run and pass.

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Noted that Reggie McNeal has been released as well...

Well the way things are going a few more weeks and a few more injuries they might just be needed. And it isn't shocking because they needed a quick replacement and its probably easier to bring someone that he has previously experience with. At this point I don't expect the second mid season WR signing to be an all star.

I'm pretty sure prechae was signed by Saskatchewan after Tillman left. I don't mind this move and in fact suggested we sign him a few weeks ago in the event of receiver injuries. Not like we have many options available in terms of import 'game ready' receivers. I wouldn't mind trying to snag Carr out of Winnipeg too. Don't know how difficult that would be though.

You are correct...

You are correct...

Well than my relationship comment isn't valid... I still don't think there is much amazing talent available. If you get lucky you might find a diamond in the rough

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

My mistake, he was trade a couple weeks after ET left.

My appologies.

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

I like Rodriguez.

The good thing.. is that after the bye week most of these receivers should be back by LD. That will be 4 weeks for Stamps, Bowman is on track, I assume Barnes and Henry will be back, etc.

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

I would've preferred seeing McNeal get another shot over bringing in Rodriguez.

That being said, he does have good size...and hopefully catching RR passes will bring his hands back.

We'll see. Stop-gap measure at best, I should hope, but hopefully we won't need him for that long.

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Why release McNeal if we are going to be down 2 import receivers next week? Surely they're not counting on James to fill in?

Re: Esks sign Preche Rodriquez

Preche has the talent and physic, not sure about the hands and mentality though...

But he has cfl experiance. Something we need now, not got time to blood a rookie, otherwise there are 10 rec i could recomend off the top of my head who would be great in the cfl but are not cfl ready

Right now, good move i say
