Sisco has been consistent when asked, and he has played SB in University. Good hands and a good blocker. Getzlaf could earn his way back to SB. This way both Canadian receivers are still on the field and it won't disrupt the ratio.Lee-Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-67752079459869868502012-08-20T16:16:58.997-06:002012-08-20T16:16:58.997-06:00The season is still young.

That way we would know once and for all if Willy has a future. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-80003917443208800522012-08-20T16:15:39.973-06:002012-08-20T16:15:39.973-06:00Freeman whiffed on a tackle leading to a Steelers ...Freeman whiffed on a tackle leading to a Steelers TD on a hitch pattern.

Has he hit a plateau and is this is good as he gets? He has clearly not running with the ball anymore, a strong aspect of his game. The throws to the wide side out are always picked off and he continues to lock in on receivers. What to do? Do the Riders sit him for a game? Do they look at trading him at the end of the season? Doing that would be dangerous because there is no VIABLE option behind him on the depth chart. I just see no progress or even consistency in Durant's game. Travis Lulay is on his way up, but he has now passed Durant in that way. What is the most troublesome is that he continues to turn to ball over at the worst times. A pick in the 4th quarter is deadly. The is no confidence that he will lead the team down the field for a winning drive in the 4th quarter. At 30, will Darian Durant improve as a CFL qb? I'm not sure anymore.Lee-Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-85716125207407957822012-08-20T15:13:55.805-06:002012-08-20T15:13:55.805-06:00I agree with Travis and Russ!
