Als fans relax

For the record Sutton is a great signing imo. as are quite a few others.
In TO they are rejoicing that the Argos are signing local guys. Here I read quite the opposite. I do really like the signing of Menard from Lions too btw. He’s a good useful
D-Line guy.

Wow. “Robinson and Bray are facing up to 20 years in prison, if convicted.”

Hopefully it is a TMZ sensationalization … but guys make bad decisions all the time … sad for Als, worse for him (if true) … always the issues of innocent until proven guilty … and the fact that the TSN story makes no reference to Bray

Crap. but it does not state Bray was charged. Only that he was there.

Story on TSN does say Bray is involved.

"Robinson, 27, of Thibodeaux, Louisiana, and Jaquan Tyreke Bray, 26, of La Grange, Georgia, were in the El Paso County Detention Center after federal authorities charged them with conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute it. Both were held without bond pending an initial appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge.

If convicted, both could be sentenced to up to 20 years in federal prison. It was unclear from jail and federal court records if they had attorneys."

Are Menard or Luke better than Foote?

In my opinion yes. You?

Pas dans la mienne. Menard et Luke, en plus d’être plus vieux que Foote, jouaient en rotation à la même position. Foote a pu éclore en 2019 comme partant et même s’il n’est pas un plaqueur étoile, il est encore jeune et le potentiel de s’améliorer. Ce n’est pas pour rien que le triumvirat l’a récupéré après le congédiement de Kavis Reed.

Fair points. No real stars anywhere in the group so depth and rotation are the way to go right now.

Given what Robinson gets paid by the Browns, he can afford a decent lawyer!

Great. point. Dline rotations are the standard now for the most part. So if all three are considered equal.
2 Cananadian DTs makes that rotation so much better and smoother with it.
Having your 3rd rotation guy subbing in for either an American or Canadian of the starting DTs. There is no ratio juggling at other D positons.

Starting for the Als DL last season was hardly a major accomplishment

Pour un gars de 25 ans à sa troisième année qui avait été au mieux très moyen les deux années précédentes c’est quand même pas si mal. Mais maintenant c’est Toronto qui pourra évaluer sa progression.

Je partage ce regard sur Ménard. Je demeurerai observateur concernant Luke.

Ceci dit, je trouve qu’à partir du moment où les Alouettes ont dû insérer davantage Foote dans la rotation, il s’est mis à progresser rapidement. À mon sens, il aurait sérieusement chauffé les autres pour un poste de partant, y compris Baron qui a un peu déçu l’an dernier (mais toute la ligne défensive a déçu, j’en conviens).

Je trouve que la perte de Foote est un recul sur ceux qui pourraient le remplacer, mais je vais voir le résultat pour conclure.
