London Monarchs news

- After averaging a little over just 10 yards a catch in his previous starts Jim Turner was on his way to getting benched. The 10 year veteran rolled back the years and had an amazing 5 catches for 165 yards and two long td's. Despite the great game it looks like Turner will move to WR2 to accomodate Travis Anglin who is finally injury free.

- Right combination ? Against Paris the Monarchs didnt allow a sack and rushed for over 200 yards. The combination has slightly been altered this year on the offensive line but now the positions seem set after this great performance.

- Need a TE. There was bad news after the Paris win, TE Jeff Nicholson who has started all season will miss 7 games with an injury. The Monarchs didnt place him on IR as they hoped to get him back late in the year or in the playoffs if they make it. They are currently talking to a number of teams about a backup TE. Ryan Prince a former starter will move to TE1 and a new TE or FA TE will become the backup.

- Veteran Kinnon Tatum was moved back to LB3 this week and against Paris he picked up his first sack of the year. Tatum who had a poor training camp was relegated to LB4 this year and at times LB5 and had some games where he didnt register a tackle or a sack. However due to some poor games recently on defense Tatum was promoted to LB3 and the defense played a great game.
