    I still maintain that Willis didn't hit Collaros in the head.

     

     

    Did you see this:  @CFL_News: By the way, the #CFL has changed their criteria from head shots being soley to the head to being above the shoulder. Thus the Willis fine.          . 

     

     

    Yeah. So I agree with the fine, I suppose, but I don't agree with people calling it a head shot.

    I don't care if you never played the game, and I don't mind negativity if it is intelligent and insightful, but at the very least, the person being paid to report on the game should be a fan of the game, like us, and possess basic knowledge of the rules, actually - more than basic knowledge truth be told. Other than Tait and Penton in some ways, I don't see a lot of true football fans in the media in Winnipeg.

     

    I'll bet this will surprise a lot of folks around here:

    I'm surprised, but not for the reason you probably think.

  3. I was in support of Woods using a spot because I figured he could be a valuable member of some of our offensive packages. If he isn't going to be used that way, it may be more effective to have Cotton in there.

     

    I'm curious to see what happens with Cotton now that he's going to be healthy.

  4. Honestly, I can't see much of a change from last week other than Hamilton.

     

    Last week's rankings

     

    1. Calgary - didn't play, hard to adjust them based on the movement of other teams

    2. Saskatchewan - got squashed, but by Toronto who is likely going to be referred to as a contender who had a bad day against us. Will maybe drop one spot.

    3. Hamilton - will drop big time.

    4. Toronto - will likely move up one or two based on their stomping of Saskatchewan

    5. BC - will swap places with Montreal

    6. Montreal - will swap places with BC

    7. Edmonton - still undefeated

    8. Winnipeg - Edmonton is still undefeated, why would we move up much if they don't

    9. Ottawa - strong effort against Winnipeg not enough

     

    This week (imo)

     

    1. Calgary

    2. Toronto

    3. Saskatchewan

    4. Montreal

    5. BC

    6. Edmonton

    7. Winnipeg

    8. Hamilton

    9. Ottawa

  5. Id take Woods off the roster and put Cotton on there. Cotton can return too and gives us a solid in game back up, and rotational player at a very important position for our offence.

     

    I'd also consider taking Unamba off for Stoudermire and seeing what he can do returning kicks and backing up in the secondary.

     

    Why would you take Unamba off? He's been a special teams stud thus far.

  6.  

    I never want to call an injury a good thing, but I also wonder ... would we have seen the emergence of Teague Sherman if Newman hadn't been hurt?

     

    I know I'm looking forward to seeing both of them on the field at once.

     

    Good to see Sherman succeed but do you think he will develop into a starter?  I see him more as a role player like Pontbriand, a great fill in that plays with enthusiasm and gusto and is a superstar on special teams.

     

     

    I think he falls somewhere in between those two. I don't think I'd like to see him starting, but I certainly think he's earning his defensive snaps out there.  He's not a defensive liability.
