I use booze to enhance my social skills.

Given the number of injuries, it makes me happy that we have extra time for recovery before the season starts.

Watching Hall miss receivers and get pummeled in the pocket last night gave me nightmares of 2013. He doesn't appear to have gotten any better year over year. I'd give him a quarter in Calgary but I'm not expecting much, except more of the same.

I hope he gets at least a half. He needs time behind center and time with his receivers as the timing was off on a lot of throws last night. A few times you could see Willy was thinking one thing and the receivers another on a few throws. Denmark made Willy look good on that deep ball too, that was underthrown. Man I like Denmark, I sure hope they utilize him more this year. Willy needs to get more accurate. There were a lot of underthrown and overthrown balls by Willy last night, including that one that almost killed Nick Moore. The key with RR is that he almost always puts the ball in perfectly. Calvillo in his prime was also an expert at doing that. If you have the accuracy then all you need is a split second and that ball is gone, and in a place the receiver can make a play on it, without getting his head taken off. I see a lot of potential in Willy and Marve, because they make plays happen with their feet. I am feeling more positive right now about our QB'ing then I have in a long time. I am still getting my head wrapped around having a QB starting with CFL experience who may have the potential to last more than two weeks behind center. It's been a long time since we've seen that!

That Jaymar Johnson play where he just stumbled out of bounds after catching the ball two yards from the sidelines screamed "cut" to me.

Bill Clinton? Is that you?

I seriously hope Marve gets at least a quarter next game. The whole time Hall and Brohm were bumbling away out there I was thinking "ok we've seen what these guys can do, time to try someone else". Hall was just brutal. Brohm was even worse.

I liked the mobility of both Willy and Marve. Both guys made plays with their feet, while Hall and Brohm just stood there and so Toronto knew they had a far easier time dealing with those guys. Say what you will, but a mobile QB to me seems to be preferable, at least in the CFL. Their ability to just take off with the ball adds another dimension to the offence that is necessary to keep defences off balance. That fake hand-off by Willy was a beauty, had the whole Argo defence going for the running back. I didn't notice that he had the ball until he was sprinting over the line. I just can't see Hall pulling off something like that, or if he did, he'd get two feet, get tackled and fumble the ball. I can't wait for Saturday, hopefully Osh and the gang saw the same things we did and will give most of the playing time to Willy and Marve next game. Hall can be third string and Brohm can go back home.

Would you get fired for drinking at work? I'd be fired every day.

No, I believe Steve Morely is considered a non-import.

Did Bob Wylie ever coach in Japan? He may have left some kids behind.

Kenny Tate - time to make the Argo QB's feel like this guy.

I heard we're not dressing any Canadian OL tonight. I heard all NI's have been banned from the locker room for tonight's game. Going full import roster. We really want to win this one!

We could start five Canadians on our OL too, but then we'd have to have 15 QB's on the roster as well.

if we start a traffic cone or pylon at RG is it considered an import if it's made in China?

What 2013 felt like: What I hope 2014 feels like:

We have Kuale this year...so look for a lot of this happening to opposing QB's.... Unfortunately he's not with Toronto anymore so he will get suspended instead of just fined.

Because we have Matt Bucknor, and that means that all bets for this year are off the table. He's a game-changer. 2014 - the summer of Bucknor!!

Minimum 2, probably 3. And the odd game they might go as high as 4, especially if Morley looks really old and The Goose is still a few games or a season away from starting. With four imports on the O-Line we'd have to start Volney at RB and have three Canadian receivers.

The "stupid" is being left up to the teachers here in BC.

I listened to the Coach's Show on the archive and from what O'Shea said it sounds like after Smith got hurt he wanted to "do other things" whatever that was, instead of rehabbing his leg? I don't know what it means, but maybe he thought he could just go home while getting his hamstring in shape and then come back? At any rate, I am thinking it was a combo of his leg and his total misunderstanding of what this league is all about and the demands it puts on to running backs. When he saw he'd have to bust his butt he decided it just wasn't for him. It will be interesting to see if he winds up back in the NFL again.

It's actually just my finger, but to me it's a shotgun....
