yeah I know the league couldnt. I tend to think the PA takes what the league offers. But they would certainly deserve some thing for that concession.

Trying to think of a qb who has come back from being shell shocked like that, and cant come up with a single one. Mentality and toughness plays such a huge part of being an effective qb. Just makes me sad to have lost him. We need good media types in wpg. And especially in the cfl. idk if 2015 was the down fall and 2016 was the icing or if the start to 2016 was the death blow. I tend to think if we started with our A team on the ol things for him would have been different. But while things would have been no question better, he may have allready been too damaged at that point to reach his previous high water mark.

Id like to see rookies un claimable off the PR. Both imp and ni. Better for the league and the game if players who need that time to develop get it. After the rookie year there should be a compensatory draft pick for snatching off some one elses pr. Or neg lister. Also, itd be nice if rookie NIs didnt count against the PR. The league needs more then any thing, to develop NI talent. Being able to keep guys like butcher around for a year and season them a bit would only help.

I feel sick. I might need to hurl...

yeah we only need to be under the max at this point, and with the IR to shake out yet and the bye week we may not know entirely how it will be set up till the day before our first game.

QFT. The early days of khari with dave mudge etc was a good line. But I think this OL is the best weve had since idk maybe our last GC?

yeah when they didnt play him the 2nd game of the pre season i think the writing was on the wall. Fajardo takes one big step forward. I wonder if willy goes back to sask...

Ya. Glenn can beat you if u give him time and weapons. They have weapons. Pressured glenn is prone to bad decisions, on top of injury concerns and that bad ol. Cover 0 all day. With calgay up after sask we really gotta come out flyin n establish our self against the riders. Id say glenn lasts under 4 games before hes hurt.

Stafford to edm.

Sure can. Look at the difference in our OL last year with and with out newfie. Look at our grey cup when glenn was hurt. Look at the struggles we had at various points in time when we had bad centres and guys who couldnt snap playing centre. Good teams with no qb etc. In a team sport the weakest link is the most important position and one weak link can ruin you with ease. In the cfl if i had to pick a position to sacrifice at it would be DT. The last position would be any DB.

Unless you spend like a drunken sailor (popp in montreal) its hard to be in that bad of a spot sms wise. We allways have the ability to free up room by moving away from newfie with out hurting our active core at that. So id say we are ok. If we were in a good spot, we'd a signed bear woods. The difference between woods and hurl as our starting MLBer is like the difference between bond at centre and guard or the difference between bennett in TC vs pre season. How often after the draft order is known has the first over all been traded? i dont think its nearly that simple. But in general we have the young guys to be able to replace vet salary if we really need.

Uh huh. floyd has 2 kos in 10+ years. Hes a good bit smaller then mcg, and fights even more cautiously with his hands in the last few fights then ever before. Floyd back then and prior could ko mcg. And probably would in the later rounds when he is gassed. But today? you couldnt be more wrong. floyds only chance of a ko is if mcg gasses worse then dada 5000. And that wont happen, he isnt gonna be half past dead going into it.

pre season. It doesnt mean our offense will be pure fire any more then the first game means nichols will be replaced by a back up. edms 2nd stringers and down, and sasks 1st stringers as well. All the pre season means right now is we are pretty healthy, and should be about as low rust as we can be for pre season.

as in going into the play offs. We were talking about the regular season production. not production in the one play off game. https://www.cfl.ca/team-leaders/?season=2016 6th in passing yards, last among play off teams. 2nd last in the league in passing tds. 2nd last in TOP. 2nd last in points scored, including all of medlocks and the Ds points.

I almost feel bad for the guy. Jones pass heavy offense, bottom tier OL, his injury history etc. Not a lot of ways it can go, and none of them are pretty. Teams are gonna be blitzing him none stop.

Walters in the post draft combine, (mentioned with the gray pick and the not having to pay a 2nd first round pick right away) in the freep and to bob irving (first pre season game) in response to bear woods release, again just before and after early free agency etc.

instead of probably being the worst team in the league they could be 0-18 In that case i think they would have paid durant what he wanted. Or sold the farm for franlklin.

This was based on him tying a combine velocity record. idk if it was the main nfl combine either. But velocity is a fickle measurement of arm strength. plenty of guys can throw hard at 15 yards and shorter. Real cannons can throw hard deep passes. bennett has a real good arm. imo austin afflacka had a better arm. And neither is up there with the likes of michael bishop.

wow thats awful.

i wonder if BB ends up on our PR now

it doesnt much matter who starts as far as imps go. We will rotate DL a good bit. Last year we had hurl come in for an extra imp db frequently. We will see some thing similar this year. This way we gain an extra DI. (8 starting ni)

I think that had far more to do with the amount of depth in front of him. Johnson, jake, nevis and ekakitie he had nearly no chance of beating out 3 of those guys going in. And johnson was one of our best linemen.

1 free spot left for the PR. I expect renaud to be on the active roster for teams. Im surprised thorpe is on the PR and not on the IR. But we dont play week 1 so AR / PR isnt much important unless some one snipes one of our young guys. (namely spooner maybe briere.)

oh wow didnt even think about it, briere is gonna punt and isnt going back to college? Really happy for catchison.

and poop. I could see both starting before long. Especially jeffcoat though. Dude is a force of nature off the edge.
