might want to ask ryan smith and sam hurl to defer all their money to other players xD

Yeah we pissed it away with poor execution a fist full of times. but bc over came early poor play on D and huge passing struggles to come back and win. Gotta give em respect for that. I feel a bit better since jermiah johnson is averaging 8 YPC against the stamps too. Since its gonna be stamps vs roughblackigades IDK who i want to win less. Is it possible to have a draw and neither team gets the ship?

i wouldnt say "play" as much as sit on the side line and be ricky rays cheerleader.

poor weather / play offs / the clutch LOL. Huge upset for ottawa. Im glad it wont be a battle of alberta GC. But i dont want to see ott win either. bc or bust!

A few light weights with minimal muscular build cut heavy amounts. Not a lot are walking 180s not by any stretch. Diaz whose stuck between being a 155 lbser and 170 lber walks under 180. Hes able to make that cut because hes a tall thin build with world class cardio levels. at 158 gsp didnt even make it to 170 a difference between the Quebec athletic board and the ufc cutting rules saved him from sanction. Cyborg has a better shot at 135. How is "dieting down" going to cut down 35-40 pounds when he walks easily under 10% fat? All the sources ive seen puts GSP 190-195 walking weight. Which seems realistic. You look a him next to johny hendricks(who cuts from 192-195), lawler (who walks 191 n change), and similar big WWs he isnt cutting 15 pounds or less to make 170. To have a chance he would have to reconstitute his build. As in shed pounds and pounds of muscle that hes held for most of his life. Then fight the highest level fight of his career.

Cummings has size and was very good previous to this year too. But didnt live up / didnt thrive in this system. Corney showed really good early, then dipped and steadily improved with less reps after that. Still have high hopes for him. hes raw but another TC and off season will work wonders for him. Butcher has size, incredible strength and showed great flashes in TC. Think he could easily be at worst a good STer for goal line package / line depth.

With cummings performance this year and signing a deal to try n get an nfl look in the off season, our tightening budget and his salary Id be kinda surprised if he comes back. I wonder how thomas would manage as a starting DT. With rupert butcher coming back (hopefully) and another year for corney we could have enough NI depth at back up Dl to start another nuck.

It has, but how much of that is international immigration? and how many of those are or have become football fans?

we scored a td on the first drive, but kicked a red zone field goal on the 2nd. Thats not nichols skill set, and it sure doesnt help the amount of usage the deep ball gets in our offense. But we had tons and ton of chances to make single plays that would have won the game. If our wrs had made a man miss or broke a tackle they may have walked right in on those plays too.

we had several chances to win the game out right on plays. 2 floated deep passes that should have been tds but the wr had to stop and come back, 1 which led to a fg. More times then can be counted where the D had a chance to make a tackle and prevent a long @$$ run that wouldve swung the tide. Especially the late first half score for bc. With out that, we have all the momentum going in the 2nd. we could have nailed that Fg to end the game, it was like 2-3 yards off medlocks longest of the year. Our adjustments at the half were solid, the play calling was on par with the rest of the year,better on offense. The D could have adjusted much better in the first half to not give up a stupid amount of Yards on the ground, but over all we were out executed. Not out coached. For the whole game, id say we still out played bc over all.

Too soon.

yeah pretty much what i got out of it. This is just how mos does business. Ive wondered what he would do if he was a FA here and TO had a HC opening. But after all the time he was given while the team struggled and finally having his team playing his way, making the play offs I dont see him leaving.

Darrin bauming tweeted an unofficial list of pending bomber FAs. https://twitter.com/DarrinBauming/status/799748340825149440/photo/1 QB nichols, glenn, davis, and bennett. WR Adams, denmark, gurley, kohlert, kieran duncan, and mayo. OL Stanley bryant, and Jeff keeping. DL Cummings, tennant. Lbers bass, briggs, burnett, hurl, tuck and sherman. DBs Posey, justin warden, and chris greenwood. Mcduffie, Medlock, and remple on teams. For me the wants would be some thing like this QB Nichols, glenn bennett (in the presser it sounded like MBT was a shoe in to be back for camp next year) WR, Id take em all back save duncan. If we can get a better nuck then kohlert id be ok with parting ways. Ol bryant of course. Neufeld and keeping are rype to be put out to pasture. DL. Didnt mind what little i saw form tennant. Big ni bodies have value. I expect some turn over at this position. Lbers. Burnett was a beast on teams. Didnt have a big impact on his starts but def a guy id like to see back to fight for a job next year and play teams. Hurl has been eating up a lot of cap room, too much for a back up ni lber at a position we are deep at. DB we had big performances from young guys, I think we gotta brace for them to take a step back in their 2nd year. Id bring back all 3 teamers. Mcduffie showed some flashes in returns and as a WR. Id still bring in returners to fight for the job with him and fogg though.

I listened to the FB citty version. It lived up to the quality billing, but was very interesting.

Thats the truth. He was the full package on the field. His stamina, and ability to maintain a high speed on every route through out the game was unprecedented. People throw around, the best athlete on the team/in the league a lot. And fast guys like speedy banks come along every couple of years by the hand full. And every fist full of years a guy comes along whose got charles roberts esq quickness. But you dont find guys whose slow speed is fast and doesnt fade at any point in the game. And thats not even to get into his amazing route running, or his un beatable psych game with the DBs. No question milt was a king maker when it came to QBs he played with. Idk if I would prefer have milt and a bunch of league average guys around him at WR as we soo often seemed to. Or if Id rather have a group of guys who could all get 1k yards. Imop dressler, denmark, adams, gurley, and even smith are all capable of 1k campaigns. Harris could even get 1k catching

up hill, the biggest storm in decades, into the wind of course. Snow soo deep we had to get out and pull the horse to get the buggy through. Global warming might have to be my next jersey if it means we keep temps like this deep into the end of the year.

Yeah he said both bryant and medlock happily obliged. It certainly would be interesting. The cfl contracts are pretty mysterious. We see through out the year and pre season that chung is a pending FA turns out he isnt. These guys re work their deals and they end this year and no one hears a peep about it. 2 years in a row no less. Can you imagine how F%^#&ED we would be if the 6 game wasnt revocable/salary cap immune? Doesnt seem to expect any thing nearly as flashy this year. but anticipates being able to bring back our guys and maybe look at a key fa or 2. Which at this point with our core is more then fair.

he said due to un expected expenses from injuries and players brought in along with running closer to the cap then any previous year they had to re work those 2 deals to save some cap space.

id say thats a good way to put it. though glenns best football here was pretty sexy. If nichols had a year next year like glenns best we'd be in phenomenal shape.

yeah im sure he and bryant will be back.

he also says he is very very confident they will both be resigned before FA starts. they renegotiated contracts to save money. Sounds like we are gonna be tight next year.

yes they are. as per kyle walters end season presser. They both renegotiated contracts mid season and do not have contracts for next year.

certainly in a great position and a big step forward from previous years. The team has to take the next step next year and continue to win consistently but all things considered you couldnt ask to be in a better position.

Hes lights out when hes on, but thats far too seldom. Through the first like 4-5 games he had some thing like 14 tds and 1 pick. Thats elite top level production. His last 9 or so he had 4. Thats not. Similar story with harris in ottawa. Both those guys are in the same 2nd tier of cfl qbs as nichols. But those guys cant seem to stay healthy, and play a half a season or less then disapear. Where as nichols is normally very good in the second half of a game and a crap shoot in the first half. But that consistency puts him ahead of those guys despite their ability to play at the elite level. I wouldnt want to take a gamble on either. Hank, ray and a couple others are in the same boat. Nichols doesnt have that ceiling, but he has a much better basement. An interesting note from kyle walters end year presser going on right now, he said re signing nichols is his top priority. Mentioned he plop and buck will sit down and do final qb evaluations in the coming weeks and see if one of the young guys will step up. Mentioned mcleod bethel thompson too, so he might have been released and either kept in town, or let go with the intent of coming back for camp next year.

The jets and the rough stretch of years has crippled the fan support for the blue. Long term between the jets and the stadium debt i worry about the stability of the franchise. If we went on a skid like we had the last few years it could be late 90s bad. Weve seen the same base system on offense and defense (bend but dont break deep match zone, 4 man front + 1 rushing backer, gap heavy line and possesion passing dink n dunk offense) under multiple co ordinators. Changing a CO isnt going to make us suddenly make good use of the deep ball, or aggressive tight D. They have to be judged more on adjustments, use of personnel, execution, and preparedness.
