i had the same thought lol.

Co bone head award for the left side of the line playing turnstile too long, and the general run blocking tnite. The OL was smallish though and that can happen when you play a smaller ol.

They did a really great job against bcs starters when the offense moved the ball. They just got wore down when the B team wrs came out and the offense ground to a halt. With those DBs, bighill JSK poop nevis jeffcoat roe and montgomery the D looks scary good.

agree montgomery right now might be better then jeffcoat was at this time last year. I think ogopogo is going to fall victim to younger cheaper guys with more up side. Corney seems to have turned the corner as well. With him and thomas I think the writing is on the wall for ekakitie. Kyrie wilson showed well too. Cant make the club from the tub, augustin has been good and lafrance has missed a lot might start out on the 6 game. rueben randle, kenbrell, and white we probably keep 2. One might end up stealing a job.

The secondary will be upgraded a great deal just by having deep cover help. bighill can play a 2 deep spot, and will cover a lot of ground under loffler who will go back to play a deep cover. Also it will be better from not having health gamble a lot. Gaitor is a gigantic ugprade over starting last year with roc etc, and with a second year for alexander. + with all the pressure we can create and actually having guys who can pass rush on blitzs from the LBing core the amount of time qbs have will go down. So yes. And if mo comes back and is his hold self or close to it the difference is gigantic.

he will be the sam yes. its probably that when mo comes back if he is back to his old self he will play HB and fenner will stay at sam. I think cooper will play his want into a DI role with teams work, and conteh as well.

randle alexander fogg gaitor and loffler start with fenner. walker cooper and conteh stick around.

randle, fogg, gaitor, walker, alexander and probably cooper stick. conteh as well.

two really good throws yeah.

playing like the 5th string wrs arent cutting it too. the whole offense has been a mess since the second group of wide outs went out.

1 Petermann. Showed some great hands, great ethic and ran like he was on a jail break every play. The chip block on willis was a thing of beauty. 2 Ross. Probably won the start for week 1. 3 The whole dang DL. Daniel awoleke 2 sacks, tons of pressure up the middle. sam montgomery got a ton of pressure, drew a bunch of penalties and made a few plays side line to sideline. Corney was really clicking tnite. Putting it together putting great pressure on, running down guys from behind. and chris cashner same as the rest. HH Reuben randles td catch. bennett tossed a huge duck, randle comes back makes his man miss and tucks it in for the score. Honorable mention to cooper who had a vicious hit on teams early in the game.

not since the days of more then 2 pre season games any how.

baba yaga, I heard he scored a TD with no blockers and just a pencil. A frickin pencil!

Chungh is a very good guard. Switching from guard to tackle is very tough. couture is the tackle body type and has the quickness. Chungh is probably quick enough but it isnt an optimal situation for him. I dont see it as any surprise. couture is a c/t ideally. Couture has a chance to steal newfs spot as a tackle, spooner at guard, dont sleep on speller either. I could see speller taking our center spot, goosen going to guard with chungh hardrick and bryant.

i hadnt heard he is injured. Adams isnt a stop gap back up. He is a very high upside prospect with two training camps in the cfl under his belt. Enough seasoning to be tested. He is a guy you pick up and keep to groom as well not a rental. If we get him, great. Love the talent good fit not a crazy deal and he pushes streveler. If we dont, No big deal. Streveler + bennett behind nichols in a few weeks will be fine.

Hanging on the ball too long wasnt a problem. Our Ol was a siv before hardrick slid over and bond came into the starting line up. he was dropping back every pass down and throwing the shortest routes possible right away. High completion percentage, low yards through the first half to 3/4 of the game low td production and low turn overs. he was very conservative even in plops offense. To put into context the OL changes we made with nichols, we went from 10+ qb hits and 3-4 sacks a game to going weeks with out a qb hit, while having time for deeper passes. Also, harris behind that line was averaging under 2 yards per carry. He got few carries and still the D was on him in the back field all the time. over 5ypc with bond and the hardrick shift. I dont think our OL will be as good as it was last year (short of going back to 3 imps and starting foketi) but it will be a good ol. As long as newf isnt at tackle. Even better if he is a back up or less. And we have the guys to grow and develop as good a line in the long run, while starting an extra NI on the line. Yeah glenn for a few weeks would be a solid option. If hes starting still come LDC though we are in trouble.

The only thing nichols injury ensures is that nichols wont play this week. Also that we will carry 4 qbs for a bit. (nichols on ir +3)

Id bet its no2. I think june jones is a bit out to lunch on the competitive balance in terms of qbs league wide and the value they draw in trades.

Willy certainly has or had shell shock. Even if he is over it, he is with montreal which will just have him relapse. And I dont think this is a place he could rebound even with out it. yeah manziel is a better prospect then adams. His floor is much higher. Potential is similar. Though if manziel has a solid season he will be back in the nfl. Adams is a guy you can build around if he turns out well. No other back up in the league is similar in quality to manziel. We have relative parity as far as qb talent goes right now. I have concerns about how our OL will play with out bond. But it should still be a good OL as long as bryant and hardrick are in play. Ie no newf at tackle. Ever again. Please god. the weapons and the improvement to the OL give us the chance to actually develop or re develop a qb. And also to manufacture some wins. The negativity that willy left with, and the beating he suffered makes me think he couldnt work in blue and gold. Crazier things have happened though. The kerwin bell deal ended up reversing it self maybe this will come about as well. If ross poops the bed again id hands down rather have willy.

based on what? the fact 3 teams have given up a bevy of draft picks and players for him in the past? Some how being on a team with a healthy starter that also happened to get manziel makes him less of a player? Hes been in the league for two years. Hes 25 years old. appeared in 7 games. He is hardly ruined, exposed or lost his prospect status. You just seem tired of hearing about him.

nailed it.

Agree on all points. I could possibly see a three way deal with glenn back here, adams to edm so they get back to a younger higher up side back up and conditional picks etc flying all over. Or that no one wants him to pay what jones wants in return. He really isnt a giant tiger. Hes a better prospect then ross and as good or maybe slightly better then streveler. He has been traded 3 times so far and each time for very good value.

the game is not very comparable to 28 years ago. QBs dont get records like pitchers in baseball. Weve seen average level qbs win grey cups and great qbs have terrible records/seasons. Weve seen guys like jennings and printers do well in their first starts, ricky ray, etc. ( jennings 2004 yards, 15 tds 10 ints in 8 games, ray 2991 24tds 9ints17 games player, printers 5088 yards, 35 tds-10 ints, 469 rushing 9 rushing tds.) We arent in a position where a rookie qb needs to go in an dominate, if they manage the clock and limit turn overs we can easily go 2 games over .500 through a weak stretch of our schedule. Yeah we would have to heavily limit the play book.

Apparently mbt has been killing it in TOs camp this year. If ross plays poorly or especially if he and bennett do or one gets hurt I could see jumping at one of these guys. But still not giving up a lot.

I think bennett would still have an out side chance to steal the start as well but yeah.
