I *think* you're talking about a Sissy Squat .. All quads, hip flexors and core.

Based on how well they protected their QB last season .. DL should be the least of their priorities...

Daniel is apparently out of the Esks price range as well .. SOME of these guys might find the money out there is less than what they were expecting (hoping for).

Merry Christmas everyone!

Context is everything.

Since the moment he stepped on the field I’ve said this guy reminds me so much of Jason Clermont. Why he hasn’t been lined up in the slot and used more is beyond me.

No need to necro this thread (in addition to starting your own). Locking.

Can drink gin because you enjoy it .. not to dull the pain! 😉

My 10 year old son was with me at this game .. his question to me: Why do people have to be so greedy?

One of the drawbacks of being a successful team with a lot of talented pieces. This offseason will be a real test for Walters (and team) to see how the fill they holes.

Edmonton has the bones to be a very solid team but players are a reflection of their coach. That team was never going to go deep, or have sustained success, with Maas at the helm. I think the right guy can make them a contender.

It's just his final, regular, media availability session. The one thing that was notable was that when he was asked "What's the percentage chance he signs a new contract?" he responded "It's pretty high".

I agree with this. After exit interviews are done and the season is officially put to rest, sort out the front office. Do this as soon as possible. Not just for the players but for the fans as well.

Cannot like this photo enough. Streveler .. you sir .. you are the man.

Ask and you shall receive.

I present to you "Topiary Rod Black". He's not as talkative and doesn't add much to the broadcast but .. I still consider this an upgrade.

Watching the Calgary game at home with the family and, at one point, my daughter gets disgusted with the Bombers and takes off her jersey. She folds it. Sits it down on an end table in the living room, goes to cool off then comes back to watch the game. We go on to win. That jersey has sat .. untouched .. on a table in my living room the last two weeks. My daughter intends to leave it there until after we win the Grey Cup on Sunday.

I cringe when I think about the coaching wilderness we could find ourselves in if O'Shea were to leave. We've enjoyed sustained success for the first time in a decade. We have players who sign (and re-sign) here because of our coach. (As fans) we now expect to finish at / in the top of our division year over year. This is, in large part, because of the man patrolling the sidelines. Is O'Shea perfect? No. He's still growing as a coach and some may quibble with perceived 'personal traits' (the stubbornness or loyalty he shows to players / staff as an example) but consider this .. he's done more / achieved more (with arguably less talent at the most important position in the CFL) than any other coach. 4 straight years with 10 or more wins. 44 regular season wins. 4 years in the playoffs .. progressing year over year (in the playoffs twice > winning the semi-final > winning the final and going to Grey Cup). I hope he re-signs. I hope we get a deal done sooner rather than later.

Talk of "western separation" simply makes me angry. It's juvenile and is nothing more than a populist talking point with no foundation in reality. A little reading: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/why-alberta-separatism-is-the-dumbest-political-movement-in-canada-today I'm usually more thoughtful when I choose to post in these threads but this nonsense just irritates the **** out of me. I'll gladly sit down with anyone and talk about my view, over a beer, where we can agree to disagree like intelligent .. thoughtful folk.

Guys .. you should know by now I don’t step in often (I let you sort things out amongst yourselves for the most part) but I’ll ask that we *try* to keep discussion on the game / team and away from each other. I know it’s hard, I’m as frustrated as anyone, but your help here would be greatly appreciated.

I’m going to ask you take a break from posting .. or I’ll look to give you a break. We get your point of view. You don’t need to repeat it ad naseum in every thread.

I'll bite. Let's compare apples to apples shall we? Not what an 8 year vet has accomplished compared to a guy who has less than a full season of playing time under his belt. Through Nichols first 23 games with Edmonton (Streveler has been in 24): 270 / 443 (60.9% completion rate) for 3386 (12.5 yards per completion) with 19 TDs and 18 interceptions. He added 36 carries for 138 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and 3 touchdowns Streveler by comparison: 224 / 347 (64.5% completion rate) for 2564 yards (11.44 yards per completion) with 18 TDs and 17 interceptions. He added 182 carries for 1089 yards (5.7 yards per carry) and 22TDs See .. stats are fun! 😉
