That guys been cut soo many times this year. Its like homer simpson has been his coach at every stop.

Weve seen plenty of weak coaches and front office types win GCs. He was put in a fantastic position with that entry draft. They pretty much handed up the keys and let him make a good team early. Matt dunigan did a far more impressive job building up calgary in his 1 year with them. And he was tossed out right after that. In no way is bragging about a GC win almost 6 years ago going to get you far in the cfl right now.

Has he been cut again from the NFL pr? Even if he has, he's bounced between like 2 teams 4 times this year. Hes probably high on the FA list in the NFL for kickers. Idk that any one is going to trade a kicker. Would love it if we got a great one, or lirim or medlock for the rest of the season but Im not holding my breath right now.

I think you are drastically under estimating the control a coach has on his roster. A head coach doesnt just go "oh well shucks the gm got these guys its all I get." They have a considerable control and input over who the team goes after and most spend the off season working directly with the scouts and GM in making the decisions. Baseball is really the only situation where poor coach situation happens. Have no doubt at all that plop wanted nichols and chose him. Desjardins didnt just go "hey that little used RB tim flanders you had a few years ago, yeah Im gonna bring him in and very little competition, he's gonna be your starter." Soo if Harris is off the IR, but not on the active roster, is he on the PR?! TF is going on in Edmonton?

My 2nd favorite mlb team is who ever is playing the yankees. Jays beating the yankees is as good as it gets in baseball for me.

Itll be interesting to see if its 1 move or a flurry of moves. If another team falls out of the play off picture we might see a rash of vets on 1 year deals moved for future value.

Thats what I assume yes. But MOOL is mostly for import tackles. Id love to see some interior canadian OL get some shine. Underwhelming thy name is east division. I dont think hes well situated to keep it going. And hes had a couple stinkers this year, plus played ott twice. Ive long thought reilly was the best qb in the league. Basically every year hes played. But this year looks like hes heading for catastrophe more than award trophy. Hes the most valuable player to his team im sure though. With out him they may not have won a game. Ive said it many times, but the shift of hardrick from guard (where he struggled) to tackle, and bond coming in at tackle turned our OL from a turnstyle into monsters. With out question, a lot of things happened to provoke our turn around. BC cut hardrick, bond comes in, bryant harris and randle came over, Mo is MODP quality as a rookie, etc. Luck is the residue of hard work. The mafia worked long and hard to get those breaks. Remember bob wylie dressing down a media type for implying that all the sacks where a sign the OL wasnt good. And then with in the same year they were hailed as the best unit.

Im hoping the jays get back into the wildcard spot too. Though bluejay play off baseball is bad for the CFL tv ratings. But with the NBA about to begin its pre season and NHL the same, its gonna get rough any way soon. Yep. Trying to make a story. Ward is 29 and might age out of the NFL window. His first year was insane and he was still here in 19 and now. It may not make sense for the RBs to sell off a vet that will be around for a while, especially when they dont have a young/cheap replacement. I dont see them getting an impact guy this year. Yeah. Defending champs seldom get free spots on the bingo card though. Id rather our guys stay angry then have a soft game. The positioning of the byes looks like it will work out to be very advantageous for us this year atleast.

Hmm Id really like to get a look at Agudosi, so he probably gets cut, same with demerio houston. I would say that one of the 2 imp OL on the PR would be a likely candidate to get cut. I dont see greg ducre on the roster, idk if he was cut or what. But we have 4 other imp dbs. Antigha could be on his way out. Vet salary is more than rookie salary and he hasnt been a contributor. Devonte williams the rb with some return experience would be a prime candidate. Maybe Naaman too. Again hes a vet who doesnt seem to have a path to the active roster. Idk if our PR still expands for NFL cuts this year or not. If not, the usual advanced look guys for the next year might prompt more than a couple guys to be cut. Or come down "injured". Can you go from PR to 6 game IR? I assume so.

Yeah the reports have kind of been a nothing burger any way tbh. The league doesnt seem to be taking them or the depth charts seriously. Im guessing if all 3 come back that stove would come in for walker and start instead of sayles. Nelson goes out for grant. And kyrie I would think comes in for brown. Itd be really nice to have kyrie and rocq on the roster at the same time. Id also love to see the briggs/gauthier rotation on defense become a seldom used set. I feel like they have had him practice as sparingly as possible since hes come back. He doesnt need the reps.I hope thats all it is.

Another mid week game and another 930 start time game. Would who ever shot the sheriff please proceed to the schedule maker.

No grant on the report?

Hell yeah. First day back at practice after a buy and the boys are already gettin nasty. Plus getting healthy? I bet Mos is tickled pink right now.

Id take a long hard look at an OL as the MOC. Like desjarlais.

Is it bad that I dont really want to see josh johnson draw back into the line up right now? I mean as a DI back up sure but as a starter? hard pass.

AKA Stove the flex seal. AKA centres worst nightmare.

The only thing Ive seen have that kind of effect and quick is cortisone. Could be, milt used to give guys the stanky leg then when they werent looking book it for the end zone. yesssssss! Man if we got all 3 back, that'd be huuuuuge.

How many mid season threads do we need?

46 posts in 3 ish years. 1/4 of his posts have been this weekend in this thread. mia 2 weeks then back with a similar flurry over 2 days. Almost all his posts are in our GDTs and its talking about the riders. I certainly wouldnt say thats a consistent presence. If any thing id say you got him and foxcreek swapped. Hes been consistent, respectful to the champs and mostly pleasant for a 4 stripe.

You might be right im not sure now. Looks like it was both, he had an MRI done on his shoulder and elbow.

Reilly used to be a serious running threat. People forget how effective he was as a runner early on. His two biggest rushing games, around 100 yards each came against us. He isnt the guy who is gonna run for 600 or 700 yards in a season any more. But he still has mobility. If he tried to run like that against us Itd be a quick end to his night. He is tough to bring down, and he will look to throw first. But in the last 2.5 seasons hes been sacked a whole lot more then in the majority of his career. 100%. And his shoulder is no way tip top either. From what ive seen this year he is trying to protect it more than normal. He used to have that buck pierce mentality. But now he's 36 and banged up, getting cortisone before every game.

How come we only see you here after rider wins you were real mia after ldc and bjb. And in the discussion about ac Leonard. We had some interesting talk about dirty and hated players league wide that could've used input from other teams. Through half of the season with more games played than any one we handled the whole league and the riders in the home and home. So yeah reason for high optimism for the defending Champs. Give em the respect they've earned have at least a little class.

I think you are confusing the attitude on this board with the attitude on the riders board every single year. Being an unstoppable juggernaut means some thing when you are the defending champion. Nothing guarantees success. But every week we focus on going 1 and 0. And nothing changes that.

He will be back to the ir when they face us again

If you aren't first your last. In 2019 the Bombers were the best team and injuries derailed things. Then we got healthy just in time. The riders at their best are handily behind the current banged up Bombers.
