Maier McCheese.

Maier is too fat. We’ll be fine.

Skimmed through the game again this morning. I missed a bunch the first time. Couple few random thoughts. -We didn’t see it last week, but Daramy Swaramy can really hit. - It’s hard to watch the oline on TV but it looked like Geoff Gray was having a lot of trouble in pass pro. Did see him in the second level on quite a few running plays though. - I was ripping on them, but I actually like how Marshall Ferguson called the game. It’s a shallow pool but I’d say he’s my favourite pbp guy on TSN right now. - As many have already said, having Lawson in made a huge difference in how the middle pressure looked. -Bombers are now 6-3 under Osh in Montreal. I think the 00’s narrative of Molson being a graveyard can be put to bed.

Not at all. A kick in the ass is better than a kick in the junk.

Marshall and Forde sound like they’re reading an audiobook

Excited to see what McCrae brings. Brian Cole too. He’s about at the point where a lot of guys start to really get it.

It’s been too long since we’ve seen Fajardo cry.

At this point, they have to seriously consider the prospect of Edmonton not being in the league much longer. It’s going to take a ton to fill those seats again.

His lines in the opening scene of Little Miss Sunshine had me literally on the floor laughing.

50/50 Masoli even plays before all the Ottawa staff get fired again.

I still don’t think the D is gonna look much better without some more help at tackle…Lawson yeah, just he can’t spell Jake and Ricky Walker at the same time. If we were rostering Fox, I’d feel a bit better but we still need an American pile pusher from outside the club. Parker is the one I’m wanting back the most at DB. They’re missing that physicality big time.

I stand corrected. Thanks man. Really appreciate your takes on here.

There’s something weird about Agudosi. I’d say lackadaisical, but that’s not really it. Just doesn’t strike me as a very aggressive player. The body catching kind of goes with that too.

As long as they don’t have him throw a deep pass in the Grey Cup, I’m fine with it. Too bad about Piggy, hope he signs somewhere else (or PR here ideally)

My kingdom for a Shawn Oakman

Agreed, with DT also being a weak spot. I’m sure we’ll be fine on the edge when Hansen comes back. Really just need one more rotational guy there.

Tonight’s coaches

Both these teams look average at best. Calgary has some fat QB’s.

Only saw it the once but thought he may have hesitated as to not draw OPI, it looked like he may have been trying not to run back through the DB.

For sure, just a matter of preference. My all time favourite for TV was Don Wittman and Lancaster, with Cuthbert or Mark Lee with Walby as a close second. Really, I much preferred the presentation when it was on CBC. It just felt more important. TSN was always more gimmicky, it’s become worse over the last decade. Leave the party to the stadium, the football broadcast should be a football broadcast. Nothing more.

I love Dunnigan too. It’s really just Smith and to a lesser extent Neilson that I can’t stand. Too folksy, both of them. The PBP guy should give a dignified, somewhat serious air. Like Don Wittman, Cuthbert, Mark Lee. I was never a fan of the goofier PBP guys like Neilson and John Wells. Gotta have that contrast with the personality of the colour guy.

I’m realizing now that since Cuthbert left, the TSN commentary is actively ruining my enjoyment of the games. We’ve heard a lot of awful PBP guys over the years but I can’t name one worse than Rod Smith. Even the 21 GC is hard to re-watch because of the terrible commentary.

Is it possible Coture knows all the OL and D calls? Could have shared a lot in the film room?

We’re so screwed without Burtenshaw
