Not bad? Why do you think we finished 3-13 last year? Because of our Canadian talent or more specifically lack thereof. We have to restock at almost every position. Especially offensive line. I guess he means our NI talent now is better than it was the end of 2013. The advantage of having such a poor season last year is that the bar is so low, anything is an improvement.

Speaking of hindsight being 20-20 I still think back to how we were debating between Poblah and Laurent in that supplemental draft... oh well I do know we definitely felt that Coehoorn would have been a better pick than Jade. Other guys that went right after Jade - Ianuzzi, Tyler Holmes. Sigh.

yup I think we'll see Willy in the first half, then the second half will be a two and out yawn fest as Brohm and Hall do their statue routines.

Anyone else surprised that Nzegwu was cut? I thought he was having a good camp.

2012 was a pretty weak draft year. That being said Matt Norman, Shamawd Chambers or Kirby Fabien would have been preferable to Pencer. Of course, hindsight is always 20-20.

I just want a QB that can make plays with his feet. I'm tired of having statues out there that just drop back, hold the ball a second too long, and get murdered. Buck in 2010 when he was healthy was a treat to watch, especially when he'd take off and get us 20 - 30 yards on a run. I could watch that 2010 opening game win over Hamilton over and over again.

I was kind of cheesed that the defence couldn't get the ball back with over 2 minutes left so that Marve could have another shot.

Next it will be "we should trade Moore and January for Ricky Ray".

After seeing Urrutia out there, if he can stay healthy, then he's more than an adequate replacement for Matthews. Matthews last year just couldn't stay healthy. I'd take him back, but not at any big salary, that's for sure.

And that's the last time you'll listen to Paul Friesen...

That's what they said about Messier at the end of his career too.

That fourth string kid that the Argos had - Pachal- he sounded like he had quite the past too. CFL - the second chance league.

The deal fell apart because they couldn't get a bar approved for the coach's lounge.

I will admit that I am biased as too many plays last night reminded me of Hall in 2013 and almost all memories of last year are bad ones. It's too bad that Marve only got one series.

Oh now you tell me.

Yup I get that. He'd be at the top of my list for DC as well. And that's where he'd stay.

agreed. I just liked Marve's game. What an arm.

another comment I had was when the camera focused on Tim Burke in the press box at the controls of the Argo Defence. He had that same blank stare on his face that he used to have on the sidelines with us. I just felt so happy seeing him there that he wasn't our head coach anymore. Then I saw the White Zombie on the sidelines for Toronto too. Is Toronto collecting all of our bad ex-coaches? Where is Reinebold this year? Toronto could use him too. Add in Mike Kelly and they'll have the power quartet of futility.

I think a few vet DB's may be on the bubble. Suber, Dunn, and Banks looked pretty craptastic out there.

I think we can all agree on this one.

Yeah good point. I noticed that too. I just chalked his pocket comfort up to "experience", something we aren't used to in our QB's.

CJ Tarver. I was just mad to see someone wearing Joe Pop's number. I thought it had been retired. At least give it to someone worthy next time.

Anyone else like how the consistently inconsistent PI calls can now be challenged? I sure do.
