finally finished the replay of last night game
Can we please sign Freedom, he's just a really deceptive runner, doesn't look like he running fast but fast enough and love how he can shrug off a tackle, even if he doesnt score (the next level is obviously harder than NPC) you always feel you'll at least get front foot ball
No way. Let's get NMS back. Great value.

He probably did help in the development of Gilbert and CGB though. So may be a bit helpful.

It's really a good idea isn't it. Buy players who were a flash in the pan half a decade ago even though they will never play in the hope that their skill might be bottled for other players. How you actually judge that? Who knows, but it's exceptional thinking.

Revolutionary. We should have just hired him as a mentor/coach. Bring him back next year as one? Those two players have come on a lot though.

I'll take a lot of convincing that the reason for that is NMS.

Your sources are good on this, according to my sources.

@steven-harris Damn it was hoping the Canes would nab him though at least he should get gametime with the Landers.
