He's hurt worse than we think.
I'd chip in for a limo to pick him up at the airport.And if not..........

The Esks have no excuse for losing this week.
This is the strongest healthy roster they have fielded in quite some time.
Brandyn Thompson back in, Korey Jones back in.
Adams-Grymes-Thompson-Muamba-Hightower should be a shutdown defensive backfield AFAIC.
Gotta get pressure on Ray.
Benevides should have the personnel now - no more excuses. Jones back in is huge as he's a great run stopper. In theory, anyways.
Rumour has it that for Ray's next game in Commonwealth he could be wearing green and gold.
lol, is this bizarro world? How many barriers do they want to put in Franklin's way of actually playing meaningful minutes?

Why on earth would they do that trade? Maas has proven he'll play Reilly under his legs fall off, regardless of the score/situation, etc. With Matt Nichols banged up, I could maybe see the Bombers doing it, or even the Lions with Lulay out and Jennings struggling.
Its certainly doesnt make sense if you look at things objectively.
However its clear that Maas is tied to Reilly and Franklin will never get an opportunity here. So Franklin is done as an Eskimo...that is crystal clear at this point.
Maybe they feel that a vet like Ray who is winding down his career and has ties to the org will be a better fit in a very limited role. He can also be another coaching voice along with the OC.
I dont agree with the move simply because I dont agree with the direction of this team but it seems to fit.
But is Ray then happy sitting on the bench for the rest of this year? Because, short of Reilly losing a limb, that is what it will be. I would have to think he has far more competitive juices still left in him than to just be a clipboard carrier and another "coach."
Not convinced Adams is exactly "shutdown" material.
Having Jones and Thompson back is good though. Might take them some time to get up to speed though.
Wonder what happened to Rottier? At some point a few weeks ago, they said he was back practicing with the team, and now he's on the 6 game and nothing.
The guy is turning into a band-aid.
If what Moneyguy says is true I suspect that Franklin and Ray will be part of a trade.

Ray is a free agent after the season and Toronto doesn't look interested in signing him.
Makes sense especially seeing that Franklin will also be gone.
What a waste of time for Franklin the past few years have been. The Eskimos clearly dont appreciate what they have in this player.
