Is anyone missing the action of JESSE LUMSDEN who is on the bench due to an injury?

Question

I know the Hamilton fans are, but what about the ones who enjoy football in it's totality?

Answer 1

He may have a slightly separated shoulder, so the Cats are wise to sit him until it is 100%.

There are a couple of backs that will carry the load while he isnt playing, and the best we can hope for in hamilton, is a good 2008.

Answer 2

Jesse is great for the CFL.  He's an excellent power back with speed, fun to watch, and best of all, he's Canadian.  He has the potential of being the best back in the league (and I'm a solid Blue Bombers fan) and inspire all those Canadian kids that you can be a star in the CFL and not just a back-up special teams player.  Go Jesse!

Answer 3

I'm not a 'cats fan but I like to watch him play.  He can run North-South, he has power to break tackles, he can cut sharply, and he can block.  

I'll be in the stands in Montreal on Thanksgiving so I hope he's back by then.  It will be fun to see him and baby-Sweetness on the same field.  It will be even more fun to see Anwar Stewart knock him down!

Answer 4

I like Jessie.  He's good for the league and he gives the Cats someone they can rely on.  He and Printers will do well together.  Interesting to note this seems to be the same type of injury that kept him out of the Seahawks preseason lineup and eventually lead to his release.  Hopefully he heals soon.

Answer 5

While I think it's great to see a Canadian excel at running back in the CFL, I can't say that I enjoy watching Lumsden run any more than I enjoy watching Charles Roberts, Joffrey Reynolds, or Joe Smith.  Well actually, I hate watching Smith run, cuz he tends to run over the Calgary D whenever he plays us.  But otherwise...

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see him make a successful return from injury.  I know I was definitely rooting for him to make the Seahawks roster a couple years ago, too.  But am I losing any sleep over him being out of the Ticats lineup?  Nope, I really can't say I am.

Answer 6

I think all fans should wait until he's well and wait and see then  Afterall, injuries doe heal and he can be as could as new by then.

Answer 7

Not really, its better to see him not play at all this year.....maybe next year they should use him again when the Cats have a shot at something.

why waste him on such a garbage team.

Answer 8

Lumsden is very overrated.

not in Roberts league at all.
