Colin Unger

And why would we be trading Buff?

Running speed is way off here

Probably not when Arbuckle will also be available.

50 million per season. Up from the previous 40 million per year.

It did though. The intentional grounding cost the team 4 additional yards and an extra down. This pushed the team to the brink of field goal range and then on second down we lost additional yards on a run play. I mean we don’t really know what would have happened had we got the holding call instead but let’s face it there’s a reason why they declined the holding and took the intentional grounding call.

I think he mostly gives the team a similar opportunity to win as Nichols. He needs to learn from his mistakes and and think he will. He was playing against two of the top pass rushes in the league and I'm not convinced that our offensive line is good enough in a pass blocking capacity right now. We are awfully young at the two guard positions. He has shown in both starts that when the game is on the line he's capable of putting the team on his shoulders and willing a touchdown drive. He put Edmonton away with one last week and he put the team up on the scoreboard on his last drive this week. I think that his accuracy is something that can be worked with and his ability to read defenses will improve with time. He's just really lacking experience. I mean.. A guy like Cody Fajardo spent 4 years in the CFL/NFL learning before being thrust into action. Streveler is still just one year out of college. Some of the accuracy issues I think are more related to the lack of decisiveness on a certain read rather than a lack of accuracy. His biggest strength is his running ability which is beyond anything i've seen in this league. But that also holds him back a bit because he just doesn't get the passing reps that a guy like Dane Evans would get each game. Probably will take him twice as long to make all the mistakes and see all the things that they are going to throw at you and learn from them. But we gotta keep in mind that Nichols was't passing for 300 yards a game in this offense either. If Streveler passes for 175 and provides his running ability that's pretty much equaling what Nichols was providing IMO. He's be more aware of when we get into field goal range we don't throw a pick and we don't take a huge intentional grounding call. Those small details are where Nichols excels and wins games.

I'm not claiming he's guilty. But Id really need an education on how the masking agents work and how plausible it is that there would be trace amounts of dbol in someones system who was using masking agents. I just get the feeling that the people really using this stuff aren't being caught and the ones who ingest it accidently are being punished.

When you combine that with a more than average amount of 6 game injury list savings and its a nice safety net if they need a player or two down the stretch after NFL cuts.

He wasn’t making the kind of catches he was being paid to make. Darvin was practicing last week.

Well... I kind of feel like he wasn't the best guy around. He came here because he was friends with Brady Oliveira. I doubt he was offered a practice roster spot out of camp. When Brady went down he was brought back to the practice roster likely because he already knew the system and was willing to sit on the practice roster as an emergency replacement type of guy. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing what Johnny Augustine can do and if he's really struggling then you play Santiago. Hope Im wrong. He didn't look bad but that fumble in pre-season really hurt him. I wish we still had Flanders.

Its hard to say in this case but I do feel that he probably wasn't using at least not for a long period of time. There were scandals in the past where people were able to avoid positive tests however most of that was related to Russia and being involved with literally swapping the urine out for clean urine. There is no way that CFL players are operating on this level of conspiracy. I have a hard time believe that Harris would knowingly use and think that he would actually get away with it.

That’s a big if. This team is structured to win despite not getting much from the wh position. If the riders are winning with Fajardo, the Ticats with Evans, and the Als with Adams.... Winnipeg gonna be just fine with Streveler.

The way I’m reading it is that Nichols won’t be back at least for 5 or 6 week however for Glenn to turn it down it was likely a situation where he knew Nichols would be back and Glenn wouldn’t have the chance to lead the team. Either that or his job would have just been insurance in case Streveler gets injured.

Winnipeg finally surpasses Calgary and we are gonna panic?

If Nichols is done for the season I would fully expect that he’s no longer going to be our starting quarterback. To me this was a make or break year for him. He needs to get it done this season.

Welcome here.. Just curious what your main gripes are with the NFL. I mean there's quite a few potential candidates in my mind

A box of tape was traded for 3 jock straps.

I heard that Jeff Knox Jr. had been released today. Where did you hear about JSK?

Has Glenn been contacted by the ticats yet?

Grant had pretty good results in pre-season for the ticats. 1 punt return for 14 yards and 5 kickoff returns for 120 yards. Lets hope he kept his playbook.

If the guy is still in shape.. I feel like Crockett already left enough puke on our turf last night

If Demski is out for any period of time here we are going to bring in another Canadian receiver. I wonder if Dylan Schrot will be brought back again. More lives than a cat that guy!

Any word on Lucky Whitehead's injury.. It looked like a collarbone to me. Chris Matthews might have a role again pretty quickly if Whitehead is out.

Yeah and the previous game he didn't get that many touches but a lot of what Winnipeg was doing fed off all the extra attention he was receiving.

Whitehead has become too valuable as a starting receiver to handle all the return duties as well.
