  1. The import OL baffles me too. The 3 import OL solution isn't a bad option. I get the idea behind it and a lot of teams (us included) can handle running that. But the imports need to be worth it. In some cases, we would've been better off with a pylon from Canadian Tire.
  2. Wouldn't expect anybody back. Fingers crossed for Cotton.
  3. Yeah, I'm not sure why Carl Fitzgerald wasn't more involved. Bellefeuille's gameplan doesn't always seem to match the opponent.
  4. Somebody on Twitter tweeted me a picture of the August 22 game pin. It's got a sneak peek of the jersey, sort of. They're gross looking. I'd post it but I don't know how from my phone.
  5. Very interesting. Good call.
  6. It might be something weird. Last I heard they were toying with a digital camo military themed look.
  7. You can practice two weeks prior to being activated. I'd be shocked if they activated him early.
  8. I said we were a well-coached 3-3 team... and that our QB has the 'it' factor. There's your two main differences. This is all true and not nearly as 'negative' as some posters want to make it out to be. Look at the roster - our talent level is very similar to last year... exception being the DBs and our kicker. and our receivers. and our offensive line. They're both making a world of difference. I always welcome the discussion but your opinion this time around ... Seems like you're outsmarting yourself a little.
  9. They'll be rotating all three. Absolute certainty.
  10. He has eligibility left in CIS. Probably heading back to play.
  11. Sounds like you're making something out of nothing.
  12. Twitter reports from Scott Mitchell stating Hefney is on his way to Winnipeg to do some coaching. Wonder with who. The Bombers?
  13. It's in his contract. i know that but the current format is really a waste of time. it's really is.Stop complaining and call in and ask questions you'd like to hear answered. Lighten up.
  14. Oh my god. I can't handle this.
  15. No wonder I don't usually listen to this live.
  16. Good lord ... Return from commercial Guy asks a question Cut to commercial before MOS could answer
  17. -- Liked Leggett's game on Friday ... good range. Says he could have had another pick or two. -- Bob asks if he keeps an eye out for guys who are getting overconfident etc, MOS says he'd notice it if it was happening in the room but it's not.
  18. -- Doesn't plan to spy Lefevour on Thursday, says they'll just have to tackle better than they did vs Reilly. -- Somebody asking if Willy is 100% ... MOS answers that once camp breaks, no player is 100% but what he wants are guys who give full effort even if they're nicked. Says he expects guys will play hurt, noting difference between playing hurt and playing injured.
  19. Listening for the first time in a while so I'll try to recap as we go ... -- MOS was asked about any regrets re: cutting Ford. Said no due to his injuries and pointed out Grigsby 2nd in rushing league wide (not a good sign for us Cotton fans)
  20. I'm going on vacation until next Thursday so I'm going to make my next two picks. WEEK 6 - Aaron Woods WEEK 7 - If I'm still alive Jeff Fuller
  21. Geno Smith plays for the Jets. That's what I said... LOL! Dave Meggett played for the New York football club with blue helmets. I got confused by the part where you said they had a black QB.
  22. Geno Smith plays for the Jets.
  23. MCGUFFIE HYPE TRAIN Honestly, I'd like to see him go in for Romby Bryant if Aaron Kelly isn't ready.
  24. Louie Richardson. Mike Cornell. Teague Sherman. Matt Bucknor. 41 tackles 2 sacks 3 forced fumbles 2 tackles for losses 3 pass knockdowns That's what those 4 guys have brought to the table this season after careers that totaled 82 games dressed and 51 tackles as their only stats registered in a defensive setting. 4 guys who were all undrafted. I'm not about to proclaim any of them to be 2014 CFL All Stars, but these 4 guys are taking a considerable amount of defensive reps this season and while they're not lighting the league on fire, they're proving to be contributing members to one of the league's toughest defenses. Some may suggest this is just Gary Etcheverry being Gary Etcheverry, but I think it has a lot to do with Mike O'Shea and Kyle Walters. These are guys who want that lunch bucket mentality. I truly think O'Shea means it when he believes his roster consists of 44 starters on a weekly basis. Guys like Richardson and Cornell are getting opportunities that they would have never got before. Even players like Kyle Norris and Derek Jones are seeing reps in our defense. Jake Thomas has been a contributing member. And the funny thing about it? It's working. Is this going to give pause to the line of thinking that Canadians are not viable solutions in certain areas of the lineup? If this keeps up, is the league going to use the Winnipeg franchise as a model to support the idea that maybe our (the league, not Winnipeg) Canadian talent is not as weak as some suggest? And maybe all these guys need are a chance to prove it? Will we see more undrafted players getting the opportunity to show what they've got for meaningful offensive or defensive reps? Whatever it is, I love it. How can you not cheer for these guys.
  25. Tyron Brackenridge might tell you otherwise.
