Ok wasnt aware of that even tho it is technically his first year in the cfl. In that case yeah bass gets the bombers outstanding rookie nod. Not sure who hed be up against league wide

Bass has been solid but unless the bombers are gonna try and spread the love nomination wise, westerman should be up for mop/dmop (dont know if u can be both) outstanding canadian and outstanding rookie.

ottawa got to pluck proven players off each team too. Spent a year gelling n made tweaks in the offseason. I think they had an easier route then your typical "rebuild"

I dunno 1561 yards & 13tds in 2003 seems pretty well deserved for cahoon, however his 02 win seems like a good year but shouldnt have been an award winner unless the ni talent was brutal in 02

Jays were down 2 zip to rangers too. Teams do lose. Imo jays were the better team in game 2 price was putting on a clinic till the 7th. 1 bad inning can be costly and was. In game 1 I thought they just didnt swing the bats enough hoping to gas the pitcher who was refusing to throw anything but outside the zone. Thats not how they won as they have. I expect they play better next 3 home games and series goes 7

He was moc in 2002 and 2003, 1060yds 6tds (02) 1561yds 13tds (03) I

I dunno about mop but itll be interesting between westerman and sinopli for canadian

Maybe we need a co_oc one that plans for the first half. MB seems decent at half time adjustments but flat out the gate

This is the first time since 1993 that they've made it to the AL Championship series. Of course they're excited. No a fan of this team, just seems like they argue every call on the field, every third strike, whine to the media when they lose and as much as the media might think just because they play in Toronto there not Canada's team. u might not like the jays but they showed parties across the country going on. You dont speak for canada

7-0 in the 3rd for jays, looks like game 5 needed lol

I guess were missing our lightning part of the run game. From what ive seen, marshall cant run off tackle and cut a corner effectively or consistently enough to have decent gains, hes caughtt around the LOS or behind. seems when the oline actually open a lane for him up the middle once every 5-6 touches, hes good for 5-8 yards, thats just not enough.

we can just play the old drive in half time show on the big screen with a hot dog bun taming a weiner in a circus act

What was his contract length? 2013 was nearly 3 seasons ago (once this one finishes) I cant imagine barker would do anything above 2+1, so. He'd have to negotiate. With this season and some injuries happening, I think its fair to say the MOP leverage he once had is pretty much void now. Not to say he couldnt sign say $150k with 50k bonus IF he either revamps our return game or becomes a recieving threat again and/or both. I think chick is only mid way thru his contract since returning from the nfl but again I think hes worth big $. 8 sacks is still 8 better then almost our entire team not named westerman. And as mentioned the money peach is making covers a good portion of that as well as wilds salary (if that was indeed he piece moved) I cant be the only one who thinks we need a solid rush end opposite to westerman than a need for 10+ linebackers even if most are rostered just for st

I think giving fans something to get excited about finishing off year might go a long way for next years optimism. Ive seen alot of extremely discontent and slowly disconnecting fans this year probably more then I can recall in sometime, and that says alot after 25 years of futility. I know for myself my excitement for next season will rely heavily on what management changes occur in the offseason, but if we made some player moves n looked far better then weve been before this post season I might get excited regardless. Weve shown some fight last 2 weeks but I dont want remainder of the games showcasing us as lovable losers. I wanna see some pride restored next 4 weeks. Trades might not do it, but its doing something at least not just aww shucks fellas, good try

I would only because I like owens as returner over stoudermere who im still not sold on. Im a denmark fan but hes been pretty iinvisible thisyear, or misused (thanks mb). Im also a wild fan to be sure (loved that final play hit in the calgary win to finish our 2014 season) but we got pretty good linebackers and when it comes down to it, wild may be better then the lot, but is it as impacting to the defense as a legit 2nd rushend? Sask wouldnt part with chick, but if ever an opportunity im thinking it woould take our "best" linebacker even if hes only been back 2 weeks

Heres some quick #s, : owen 33 coming off 989 yd receiving 7 td seson (his besst td season to date) John chick 32 (33 week before gc) currently 8 sacks I dont think they're necessarily on the decline or too old

However if money is biggest issue, I dont believe denmark makes peanuts and if a restructured contract is needed for owens heavy with bonus incentives, so be it but I cant imagibe the $ tag between tbe 2 is crazy far off, could very well be a wash or close to. And chick is worth whatever peach makes + difference

I only got to thinking about our situation based off some always fun to read riderfan fire sale threads, 1 was about trading vets, chick, gets, dressler n hall's names came up. Say what you want about age n price but imo chick is worth it. Cant get worse then paying for peach as one of or 2 DEs n chick is solid n fast. Im sure we could find the money for chick and I think sask would be interested in wild, their D for the most part stinks and wed be dealing from a position of meeting each others needs. Aside from westerman our Dline stinks, and with wild we have a very crowded lb group that its hard to even play them all. Imho we didnt really need wild but its great to have him all the same. owens like denmark is always a threat but both are having off years. I dont think its age slowing them down but maybe change of scenery for both rekindles both their all star potential/ability. And even tho stouds tooks one to the house this past game, owens has proven to be much more consistent threat, plus I believe he had oshea as his st coordinator in TO (?) Where he enjoyed his most success

Denmark for chad owens (straight up or with something give or take to make it fair trade) Wild for Chick? (Same as above) My thinking is owens isnt having his best year, nor is denmark, but both can be explosive as well as owens improving our return game imo. Love wild as I do denmark but we are pretty deep at lb and need a rush end opposite to westerman. thoughts?

I argue tho the impression mlb broadcasters and fans of baseball in general have with a hot blue jays team. The rogers center has been sold out and playoff electric for months. Away games are loaded with jays fans in otherwise graveyard stands and you cant ignore the ratings the jays/yankee series got after the all star break. With an entire country backing the jays like they have its yankee like in support. Very few teams even when top of standings can do that. Id say maybe yankees, red sox and dodgers would be the select few but thats because those teams are like religions

I was joking with my dad last night watching classic mlb featuring the back to back philly games they came back to win 15-14 & 7-6, that what kinda horror that woulda been if the jays and expos faced each other the next year prior to the lock out, as having 2 canadian teams in americas passtime championship game would likely not have great US ratings, in fact probably very low viewership near all time lows. The gates would be jammed packed but other then transplanted canadians down south its tough to get americans cheering anyting canadian in any sport. Dicks lol

But how many times was Nichols pounded and/or hurried into throwing the ball away?Oddly enough, after Neufeld went out, the line settled down a bit and he (Nichols) seemed to stay upright .. Goosen at LG .. Capers at RT.. Neufeld got hurt? When? I didn't even notice. Not that anything about Neufeld getting hurt is a surprise. driving to the game with 7mins left in the 2nd they said on cjob neufeld collapsed on the sideline for a moment or 2 and once up they didnt even get anyone to check him on the sidelies just sent straight to the lockerroom

I only got to the game at half time but id say from what I saw the offense was least of our problems in why we lost. That 2nd and 1 bomb to moore was something ive wished theyd do for ages ( actually even a dump pass over the pile would be good). Ppl at the game said our offense stunk first half but the score was pretty close. I saw an offense that moved the ball effectively in the 2nd half and never felt we were out (tho ill admit I had zero faith in our kicking) so I think mb made good half time adjustments imo

if the cfl is trying to attract young, probably non football fans strictly thru a half time show, hedley would absolutely be a band they want. Current, young, hit making radio friendly canadian pop act. But since they just played imma say they get the weekend

while 2 different organizations and event, after seeing Backman butcher the national anthems im ok with not being all home towny when it comes to musical acts. go for whats hot.
