Yup. Just checked the roster and he's back on the team after being released.
That sort of release and back-on-the-team dynamic is not uncommon in the CFL. It's all part of the juggling act that is required to maintain the ratio of imports and non-imports.
im glad we kept him because unlike most people on here i think he has the skills to be a good player in the league. Hope you have a break out game jo jo
Archie was one of the toughest all out players to ever play for the Cats.
I think you are incorrect in your opinion that he did not play with heart.
What do you describe as heart?
All out effort
Going over the middle
Playing through injuries
Archie did all of that…at 5’7" 160 lbs
I saw Archie give up on a lot of balls over the middle, I saw him shake his head and throws his arms in the air often when he felt the ball should have been thrown his way and he often pouted coming back to the sidelines. All are charcteristics of somebody that played with emotion - not necessarily heart.
He did often play hurt, I don’t disagree on that.
He definately did not always give “all out effort” if he did I would likely be describing him as a player with heart. He didn’t though he hustled when he wanted to, he wasn’t alone though. I measure heart as above and beyond on a consistant basis. I like Archie, he played with emotion I would not describe him as a player that played with heart though. I just have a clear distinction between the two.
But you would describe Tay Cody as playing with heart??? Last thing I remember Tay saying is that he is sick of playing for a losing organization. That sounded like Heart to me! not emotion… :roll:
I agree with CK and B&G. Archie was an exceptional talent, fun to watch and he came to play every game that I saw.
One of my favourite Ticats of my 40+ years watching…
Archie Amerson was the definition of a guy who plays with heart. And guts. And dedication. And abandon. And emotion. Glovesave, roll yourself a thick one and go to bed.
You are wrong Glovesave. Archie played with more heart than anyone on the current roster, right up until his career ending injury. If we had 12 Archie’s on this team, it’d be a different story. He was a great player for this team.
