Love to see Als 6th string QB Rupert Pipkin take the ball this weekend if Manziel and the other mopes are still re-habbing injuries.
What a story that would be if the answer to the Als ills was its 6th string QB???

Manziel is not injured and he will be starting Saturday.
Sheldon I have been thinking those same thoughts. The GM has failed to bring in players to contest for the positions you noted. To start the year he failed to bring in capable QBs for our leaderless football team. The TiCats decided that Masoli was the better of their two major QB contenders, the Als, for better or worse now have Johnny Football at QB but, payed a high price in giving the TiCats notable players including our best DT/DE player and, two first round Canadian draft picks. We can only hope our starting QB will emerge as a quality player.

Johnny Manziel is not at #AlsMTL practice, again. The Alouettes are not saying, yet, about why Manziel isn’t at practice #CFL

Geez! What else could go wrong? :
Whoa
Well Andrew could announce that he`s extended Kavis for 3 years.
Let the good times roll
Sheldon, thank you for the news. Yeah, this doesn't sound good. Does anyone know the order they do things in practice?
The team would fold before his contract expired!
I would think the only thing that could keep Johnny out would be a concussion.
Same thing happened in his last NFL game against KC. He suffered a huge hit right at the end of the first half. He came back and finished the game but his accuracy wasn’t the same and they just barely lost the game. He was diagnosed with a concussion the next day.
The CFL has a dedicated injury/concussion spotter in the Control Center
• A Review of the CFL’s Injury spotter program which places a person dedicated to injury monitoring in its Command Centre for every game.
How can anyone conclude he is not Concussed after this hit??
He is out like a light!
Rub his neck and put him back in. :-[
The League and the team should have to answer some hard questions if he is concussed.
The CFL spotter apparently did check out Johnny on the sidelines. You can hear Sherman`s explanation at about the 3:00 mark here:
Apparently there is a report from CBC that Manziel will in fact start against Esks.
Trying to track it down.
Ideal- you’re usually reliable at tracking down these sources.
Grover, thank you for the video loop. It is very hard to watch.
Sheldon, I am unable to connect to the TSN radio interview.
Just wondering.
Couldn`t find anything Tony, might be a report from yesterday. Sherman is to speak to reporters 1:00 -1:30.
Thanks for the link! It worked fine for me.
Doctors and spotter said he was OK to the Coach.
Still doesn’t explain missing todays practice as well as yesterdays tho. ???
I am not tech savvy, perhaps someone else can explain best way to connect to TSN 690 from US.
I doubt there is anyone under 30 years of age on here that is computer friendly!
Let's just hope that the reason for Johnny's absence has nothing to do with past behaviour or prohibited substances. Never know what to expect.
