Kory Sheets Still in the Wind
It is NFL free agency day and among the names being dropped is 2013 Grey Cup MVP Kory Sheets by the Oakland Raiders.
Sheets went down in pre-season with an Achilles tear and while the injury cost him a season with the Raiders, his release has sparked an interesting reaction at Riderville Central Headquarters in the City that Rhymes with Fun.
Rider Coach Cory Chamblin went on air saying while the Riders would have to look at whether or not to bring Sheets back, there were some character issues that came up in his exit interview with the Riders before he went down to the Raiders that would bear further scrutiny.
It can be argued successfully that not only did the Riders screw up their back-up quarterbacking last year; they also did the same with their running backs, being unable to settle on a back, never mind a pair, and shuffling them in and out like it was a Kaiser Card tournament. Add to this the benching of a running back for a fumble and the Riders have a running crew that was running scared more often than for first downs.
