Go figure Tim Burke would want his players to look as bored and unemotional as he does. Here's my question and as much as I'm asking it because I dislike Burke, it's also a serious question ... has he ever been anything but critical of his players in the media? Can anyone remember a quote or anything printed in the papers from Burke indicating he was pleased with an individual performance? It seems like every time he discusses one of his players, it's negative.

Really what this boils down to, Iso, is that you don't want the best man for the job. You want the guy YOU think is best.

I would rate it as one of the more realistic neg lists in the league

Former Green Bay Packer Aaron Rouse 6'4" 225 29 years old

I think you misread the tweet a wee bit LOL

Could his career be over?

Yuck.

Do you have any inkling who they are trying to trade for? I have an inkling on who they WANT to trade for, but I don't think that's who they're going to end up acquiring. No doubt they want Chris Best. Wasn't Best a free agent at the start of the year? Yet another guy that Mack refused to go after? Nope. Best was signed to an extension in 2012 that carries into 2014.

They literally didn't have any other number to give him.

I want Walters around but I'd rather use him as a tool to assist a more experienced GM than have him be THAT guy. That being said, he's been active so far. I've liked the overall body of work and if this trade for an OL goes through, that COULD sell me on him even more if he comes away a winner in that deal. He has a long way to go though.

Former Rider QB As per Darren Cameron.

Former Western Missouri OL Colt Schulte will be reporting to the team some time this week.

Ed Hervey is a moron.

I think if there's one obvious tidbit to take away from the game re: the OL, it's that Swiston needs to play tackle.

Except drafting NCAA juniors is now a thing of the past.

Yeah, have to agree. I had high hopes for Ford coming into this season but he's been 100% unimpressive so far.

Yeah. We don't need him.... One would have to assume that he would have no interest in coming here. Winnipeg isn't a place for people with options sadly enough. Winnipeg does not have a bonafide #1 CFL receiver. Matthews was last year, but I'd argue this year, we have no identity or guys worthy of double coverage. If I'm Chris Williams, that represents opportunity. I would like to contend that point. We don't even have guys worthy of single coverage.

I don't get why Denmark continues to play. Put MSW, Kelly or even Poblah in there.

I doubt it's guaranteed now. Not this year at least.

Yeah. We don't need him.... One would have to assume that he would have no interest in coming here. Winnipeg isn't a place for people with options sadly enough. I honestly think he'd have a lot of interest in coming here.

I remember when I thought Arkee Whitlock and Anwar Stewart were Canadian for the longest time.

Peach is American lol

I'm thinking if Watson goes, we very well could see 3 NI receivers this week and I wonder if they'd consider the idea of Bo Smith starting at safety.

Things of note ... -- Goltz and Boltus only QB's practicing today -- Watson is practicing in full equipment -- Andre Douglas taking 1st team RT reps Woo.
