They aren't term limits. They can be re-elected to the Board for multiple terms. I'm thinking it'd be something like school trustees...win by acclamation every four years.

You mean the recess offense? Best part of that is our coach telling the entire world that we're cutting the playbook in half. Should make film study a lot easier for the Stamps. The guy just can't control himself. Given the way some those plays were executed...Dickenson could probably figure it out without a Burke tip-off

That couldn't possibly be rocket science...

Collaros played like that against Calgary, but then rebounded quite nicely.

Just an innocent mistate? Of course you won't make the trade NOW, but you can start negotiating NOW. In fact it's probably the prudent thing to do. ] Who says their not negotiating? Do you really think they're going to broadcast to all of us every plan they might be scheming? I think they are and no they shouldn't broadcast. Nor did I mean to imply that they should.

The Esks have the luxury of two QB masterminds currently looking for work - Mike Kelly and Gary Crowton - capable of designing packages and coming up with plays to make sure Reilly is more protected from now on. Oh the surfeit of riches of available talent! I know you're being sarcastic but the Bombers allowed the fewest sacks in the league when Mike Kelly was here. Perhaps more two and outs = fewer sack opportunities We punted 157 times, which was 21 more punts than the next closest team

And the league should looking at that hit...

If Ray comes back from injury and leads the Argos to the GC again (good chance of that happening) he'll be their starter next year.

This was just a matter of time. However, I think the Esks OL is worse than ours. Reilly has been taking brutal hits every single week.

LOL, As if there weren't enough other things to criticize.

Sarcasm is your forte, sir.

And in all seriousness...not playing a guy like Zack Anderson every down? To allow 3 American OL to start? Pencer couldn't have been worse than what we saw from the right side today.

That was insane....Boltus didn't look even close to being ready.

Horrible game...the D deserved better.

Agreed, except that the drop off in talent when 'you just slot another NI in somewhere else and play an American at MLB' can pretty steep. Not so much when you go from NI OG to NI OG, if you've been drafting and developing NI OGs. I don't necessarily agree. The drop off is usually going to be steep in any situation. If you're capable enough to start as a Canadian in this league, you rarely sit on the bench. When OL like Labatte, Perrett, Tsoumpas, et. al. are not in the line-up...I would be willing to bet it shrinks the offensive playbook.

That's not necessarily a reason to change the ratio...it could also be a reason to scout for better Americans.

Except that many of our NI OL are unproven. Muamba is an MLB who has proven he can be effective at his position. If we lose him and don't have an NI for the starting safety position, we'll need at least 4 NIs on the OL. Who would they be?

Or more accurately, how stupid Tim Burke is. The depth on this team isn't good, but there are 4 or 5 different ways to work the lineup better than putting in three import OL. What is his plan here? It can't be talent evaluation or MSW would be in to see what we have there and Pencer would continue to get a shot. But we can't actually be trying to win, right? And if we were trying to win, wouldn't we want to play a guy like Ian Wild, who has been a significant bright spot on the team? Sure doesn't seem worth starting an ineffective Will Ford at his expense. The funniest part about this is that the run game will still suck. That's what drives me nuts the most. If we're evaluating, he's doing it wrong. If we're trying to win, he's doing it wrong. The only way he's right is if we're just throwing darts at a dartboard to fill roster spots because hey, nobody can be wrong that way. I hope Pencer is at least dressing as the 6th OL...at least then making a ratio change is possible...

Quality non-import starters and dominant imports.

Yes, which was pretty much 100% of the logic behind IMWT.

Well they have to have it done at least before the season starts. They haven't in the past. The PA doesn't have a whole ton of leverage because there is no shortage of football players and they are hardly a unified group. They will play under the terms of the current deal until they get a new one. Ok thanks. I've been trying to research that but haven't found a conclusive answer.

Oh.

It started with a reach...
