It could be a two-for-one bargain. When the Toronto Argonauts signed Shea Emry to a free agent deal in February, they did so expecting him to be an impact player on the field. If he plays to his ability, theres no question hell provide them with quality production from his linebacker position. Theres another intangible he hopes to provide the double blue with as well; leadership. Emry was at the Argos office in downtown Toronto on Tuesday, where he told TSN.ca that he considers himself someone who is comfortable in that role, and is cognizant of the opportunity that exists for him to become a leader among Boatmen. "I consider myself to be (a leader)," said Emry. "I want to be considered as one by my teammates and I want to consider my teammates to be guys that can lead me. Everyone has their down moments, everyones got their plays they mess up and you need a team thats going to pull together." Appropriate words from the newcomer, as Pull Together has been the Argos motto for decades. Theres an opportunity for the 2012 East Division Outstanding Canadian to make an immediate impact in a leadership capacity because there have been several veteran Boatmen who have jumped ship. Does that present an opportunity for Emry to immerse himself into a leadership role more quickly than he could if it was a team with its defensive core returning? "Possibly. Theres a lot of turnover going on on the defensive side of the ball with Khalif Mitchell (free agent), Marcus Ball (New Orleans) and Pat Watkins (Edmonton)," Emry continued. "Its tough because theyre three really, really good players. Stepping into a defence that Ive already played in for a coach that Ive already played for (new defensive coordinator Tim Burke), thats going to be a benefit for me because I know how they work and a dynamic between us already exists. I can be a liaison between the young players and the coaches." The Richmond, B.C. native has already made a decision that should endear him to his new team, but may cause some eyebrow-raising within his family. The linebackers brother is getting married June 1, the same day as the first on-field sessions of training camp. Will Emry be a member of the wedding party? No, hell be on the field at York University for the rigors of two-a-days. "Its a pretty bad situation for me to be in," Emry admitted. "For the family, it doesnt make anyone feel good, but its the decision that I needed to make for the integrity of the person that I want to be as a football player and as a professional." This is not the first time that nuptials and football have butted heads in the family. Emry also missed his sisters wedding, which happened during his rookie season in Montreal. It wont make missing his brothers ceremony any easier, but making a good impression on his new team is that important to him. "If this was Montreal and I was sitting here taking to a Montreal reporter, we wouldnt be having this conversation because I would go (to the wedding)," he confided to TSN.ca. "But this is my first year here and I have a responsibility to give it my best and take every opportunity to make a difference on this club." Emry did not try on the new jersey, but held it up for photographers. Did the former Alouette like seeing his name on the uniform of a former rival? "It made it real for me," said Emry. "It was super exciting and it was quite a shock to be honest with you. Im very excited about it." To be honest with Emry, so are Argonaut fans. Air Jordan Discount . 2015 Oscar nomination pending.

Gareth Southgate has been tipped to choose Sturridge to lead Englands attack in their World Cup qualifier against the Scots at Wembley on Friday, despite the Liverpool forwards failure to score a Premier League goal this season,Manchester Uniteds Rooney has been confirmed to start as captain, but Pearce - who was part of the England side that beat Scotland at Euro 96 - is concerned by the prospect of Rooney playing behind Sturridge. Gareth Southgate confirmed Rooney will captain England in Friday nights World Cup qualifier with Scotland at Wembley When asked if starting Sturridge would be dangerous, Pearce told Sky Sports News HQ: I dont think its a risk at all. England interim manager Southgate opted to play Sturridge in the goalless draw with Slovenia in their last World Cup qualifier in October, with Rooney placed on the bench. Jurgen Klopp has selected Roberto Firmino to lead the line for Liverpool in recent weeks and kept Sturridge among the substitutes, while Rooney has regained his place in Jose Mourinhos starting line-up for Manchester United. Sturridge hit the woodwork twice as Liverpool beat Watford 6-1 last weekend However, Pearce is suitably convinced by Sturridges 20-minute appearance in Liverpools 6-1 win over Watford in the Premier League last weekend to back the forward for England, but believes doubts still surround Rooney.dddddddddddd.Sturridge came off the bench, I think he had five efforts at goal and hit the woodwork twice, said Pearce. One thing you do know is he is going to have efforts at goal. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. The big problem for me will come back to the Rooney situation. If Rooney is going to play just behind the striker, and Scotland are going to sit deep, I think Wayne just wants to play deep and get on the ball.If he does, Sturridge will be very isolated. Rooney cannot afford to keep dropping deep beyond their midfield. Hes got to stay beyond their midfield and look for space, and get on the ball.Thats where the question mark around Rooney keeps coming up, time and time again. Its because he wants to play deeper where theres no traffic of players, get on the ball and start spraying it around. If we play with two holders, youre wasting players.
