TBURGESS

Walters said Simonise was the 4th NI receiver (FTR: I don't see the need for 2 FB's, so they could have kept him if they really wanted to). They offered him a PR spot, but he turned it down. As he signed with BC already, sound like it was the right choice for him.

Harris.

20 and everyone is still on the same page.

I don't think any of the media liked Sherman, otherwise they wouldn't be taking turns throwing him under the bus.

Hedging your bets means playing both sides or supporting more than 1 possible outcome. Seeing McGuire as the most likely to succeed isn't hedging your bets.

Not when it comes to answering the question 'How well does Walters Draft'?

Walters gets props for his first 2 drafts, but he's been more miss than hit since then. Waggoner and Faith were #2 and #1 overall busts. Simonise was our top pick in 2018.

I don't understand how cutting Bennett is hedging their bets.

Simonise really looks like a football player, but looking like Tarzan and playing like Jane will get you cut.

They said that on the broadcast last night. Surprised the heck out of me. Adding global's while taking away QB's doesn't make any sense to me.

Plus NI QB's are considered NI's IF they start.

So you're saying 2 out of 3 ain't bad?

Using the same supposed 'logic' no one wants to hear continually why anyone wants to go. End of discussion before it begins.

I wouldn't make Coombs an offer. We simply don't need him and it seems like he's been injured his whole career.

More money than I'd pay for a preseason game and I doubt it will be a sell out in Winnipeg at those prices. Hope they sell enough to make a profit.

On that other site, someone's saying that MOS said he wouldn't be available till week 3.

Has Neufeld even practised yet? Anyone know what's wrong with him?

Lots of blitzing last night too. It used to be considered bad form, but teams have been blitzing in preseason for years now.

I don't see anyone giving up on Streveler. I see the Nichols guys pointing out that Streveler didn't play well cuz it works for their argument that we need to start Nichols.

I'm a big Streveler fan, but he didn't have a good outing last night. I was surprised they didn't give him more reps later on.

Do or Die... In mid-season form.

Smoke was horrible an hour ago. I can now see the apartment building about a mile away and I haven't been able to see that since yesterday. The Stamps/Riders game is a go.

Preseason games are basically practices, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how the new guys perform under the lights. It's been a long time since I got a chance to sit down and watch a football game. The wobbly pops are cooling. The BBQ's been prepared.
