Bulldogs welcome former Defensive Player of the Year

[Matt]

The Newark Bulldogs made the only last minute trade deadline move by acquiring former defensive player of the year, Julio Wheeler. Mind you, Wheeler was honored 5yrs ago with that designation. Now, as a 9 year vet, Wheeler finds himself 1 step slower and grasping at the opportunity to get himself a ring. Wheeler finds himself on the Bulldogs after spending his previous years in beautiful Vancouver. The city has been the only thing great about his time there. Multiple ownerships have somewhat clouded the Killer Whales vision and have left Wheeler as just an asset. The current ownership group has a plan and is moving in the right direction. A direction that will have long term success.

Also, the Bulldogs also made a minor move by signing FA Sammy Knabe. Knabe was signed due to the recent struggles of current Bulldogs K Butch Schultz. Time will tell who will take over as the full time kicker. Released was all around good guy Korey Boyer

Bulldogs are putting a lot of resources into the "win now" plan. Will it get Burger & Jamison their rings before their time is up?

[Matt]

Jamison will be doing his thing for a while still, but Burger is gettin old. No idea when age will being to affect him. My window is closing fast.

[JesterBlaze]

Interesting. I view RBs as having about an 8 year usefulness window. I thought Jamison's career was half over when DG put him on the block.

That's one reason (in addition to FOF giving no feedback on fumble-itis during draft time that I know of) I've never had a great RB. They burn bright but burn fast and thus I can't justify spending the resources to acquire one.
