    Parker and Holm are great looking CFL DB's.  Can turn up the aggression and come down hill at ballcarriers, great ball skills, both can return kicks too.  I don't see anyway that these two guys don't make the team, even if it means one of Rose or Lawrence are cut.

    Kelly noticeable in contain on punt cover, bet he's on the roster day 1 too.

    I'm hoping for a little more juice out of Brian Cole if he's there when he gets out there at WIL.

    I really like Holm and Parker. Our scouts know their DBs.

    Linebackers making tackles 7-8 yards downfield is not a positive. We know what we have in Clements, Wade needs to show more next week

    Not trying to single you out and tell you you’re wrong, but Wade was blitzing on almost every single instance that happened in the 2nd Q. 
     

    I honestly think he’s showing just fine. Certainly better than Clements, imo. It looks like he’s trying to process a bit too much but his range/activity level were both impressive to me in the moments I was watching him.

    Curious what it is makes you say that. I can't recall having tried them but always curious the why people don't care for certain things.

    Noeller is going to call it “issues with the ownership”, but I’m going to call it “I find their hygiene practices absolutely gross and I don’t much care for an owner who gets drunk and berates customers”

    If you want a beer that hasn’t been treated comparably to a burger scraped off the bathroom floor at McDonalds, I’d recommend going to Brazen Hall (great food as well), the Forks or Sookram’s (my personal recommendation) if you’re looking for a spot somewhat on the way to the stadium. Devil May Care by the Forks is also sort of close to Pembina, I suppose, and they do cool stuff too.

    Best restaurant on the water front with a good local beer selection?? 

    Cibo and the Pump House, although Cibo has been known to struggle with dirty tap lines. I love their food though.

    Yes, they're writers.... Not football scouts. They don't necessarily know more than we do. And in some cases (we have Booch, JBR, etc that are experts or at least semi experts) they know less. They're writers/reporters... Just doing a job. 

    This is ridiculous. You’ve been on this bandwagon forever and I really just don’t get it. Nobody’s asking anyone to be a football scout, the pass you keep giving guys for being lazy is crazy.

    It is not difficult to go to a training camp session and share what your eyes tell you. “Player A seems to be splitting reps in the slot and at wideout, whereas player B is only getting reps in the slot”, “Player C is returning kicks and working with the defensive secondary”, “Player D is taking reps at halfback and the SAM LB spot”, “Player E seems to be having lots of drops, whereas player F catches everything thrown his way”, “Player G looks to be struggling to win his 1 on 1 battles in the trenches”, “Player H has burned longtime starter Z in a few battles today”

    I’m not looking for an in-depth grading on how they perform in pass pro broken down with film to support their thoughts, I’m looking to see some consideration that they’re going there to REPORT, not play pattycake with their buddies on a sunny day.
