damn wade miller is in better shape then when he played.

i just thought about it but sergio wasnt cut in this round. Kinda makes me think they are trying to hold him a bit for trade value.

haha i loved seeing him get fired up like that. 1) another year is a huge deal with 2 young starters. They have allready shown to improve with leaps and bound. 2) consistency and familiarity on the OL is massive. Doesnt matter the pieces you have if you change them every couple weeks they never gel and are constantly playing as less then the sum of their parts. 3) bond couture and keeping when healthy is really big for depth. Couture could easily be starting by the half way point. Bond was probably our best OL against mtl. 4) we got banged up last year and another year gives us a chance to be healthier then last year.

Agree with you here. We see him holding back and pretty intense in every other interview. He certainly isnt a rager but he isnt doug berry either.

QFT

i suspect i may have.... now...

I thought the first wave of cuts was due today at noon? Am I crazy?

he was, till he bulked up to 240 lbs. No way wild is long snapping unless we suffer injuries call for it.

Yeah. The question is where do we make up the NI? canadian at safety maybe.

A little bit. Though I think our front 7 and none vanilla plays will really help cover that up a bit. Actually im more worried about nacho harris.

lochard, we need a nuck to back up so thats 2. Our long snapper is also a RB and then flanders. Im not at all against a change of pace back. Im not sure flanders really is a change of pace but he certainly would give us another wrinkle on the offense. One we might sorely need. But I wouldnt carry him at the cost of another position like DE,WR, OL etc with a player that would be far more important to our success. Maybe they set it up so it works out we keep him on the active roster and dont lose out. Thatd be great. I do think that if we hold out a week maybe two we can force value for castillo from ottawa or hammy.

We did, but we also had a more cemented KR and didnt have a proven starter at RB. If we choose to try and hide castillo, or keep 2 of the IMP des and rotate at one spot it wont be easy to also keep both rbs. That would leave us with what 4 rbs? We need the extra spots atleast for WR while its still hotly contested, DE, possibly for the OL for bond etc.

How pray tell do you throw a crossing route when not a single one is in any of the plays for either game? Hank would have tossed a ton of picks given the pressure willy faced. Not sure if this is a troll or just out of touch. Hellen keller would have had a better under standing of what happened out there.

Willy aside, I think anderson might have played him self out of a job. Even a PR spot. He looked miserable on his returns while flanders kept on rollin. Im not sure you use a DI spot on flanders but you certainly dont get rid of him. A couple of the rookie wrs have left a pretty hard decision. The DE spot is gonna be a tough choice too. Coaching staff have their work cut out for them.

If he gets rid of the ball faster, you dont get longer passes. The yardage was similar for nichols and in the first game for both. The offense is super bland mostly outs short of the first down marker. It also has to do with an almost entirely new WR core that still isnt healthy and 3/4 of the pass catchers tnite were rookies.

was it also willys fault harris had a 1.4 yard average on runs and was great catching the ball out of the back field?

he was 11/15 with no pics he got rid of the ball fine. He could release quicker but he simply did not have the time.

Yeah considering the pressure he faced and how much he got hit he didnt do poorly. Not that many people will look at it like that. A lot of short to medium routes. And not a lot of runs in the first half. 4 in the first half for harris, 6 in the 3rd quarter for flanders. Made things a lot easier for nichols.

all the rookie nucks, rbs and wrs for me.

thats what the cook (she) said.

I dont think there is much of any concern about the blue WRs this year. weve got a pretty good bumper crop goin on here.

From game one he looked really good. I could see him being ready by mid season imop. This draft could be the draft that just keeps on giving.

I actually like those two. Idk why they went soo qb crazy in the off season. Glenn backed up with cato and crompton with the canadian developing is solid.

Is he 100%? I thought he was for the start of riders camp. Would make sense if hes any thing under 100% to ease him on back. Other wise it seems strange no to play him. Heres hoping hes 100% for the season. The league is much better with the best qbs playing, and I wanna beat the riders at full strength not running on back ups. Though tbh for the last 10 years or so its seemed like back up qbs are a bigger issue for us then starters xD.
