So I assume this means Buck is done for the year? With Boltus and Brown now on the roster, plus Max Hall, doesn't leave much room for Buck. Also I am hoping that Hall is done too, after having seen Goltz and Hall in action, I prefer Goltz.

That's why I know we'll be signing Rottier the minute Edmonton cuts him.

He's our sleeper. We're saving him. Yeah we'll only use him if things get really dire.

Especially after Elliott's comments after the 52-0 shellacking in the LDC last year, when he said "well I played ok" or something to that effect.

Contrary to popular belief Mack isn't the **** who struggles to tie his shoes that everyone seems to be painting him as since he's been fired. Makes a hell of a scapegoat though. He's a great scapegoat. Blaming everything on Mack also plays well with the "I told you so" and "we knew all along" crowd.

My theory on why Mike Reilly hasn't been injured yet: This is his secret identity.

I was driving home from Whistler yesterday and listening to the game via the internet on my phone. I decided to go with the Calgary feed. I couldn't believe the low quality of the Calgary commentators. Repeatedly, they cut down the Edmonton team and called them all kinds of names, like "pathetic" and "stupid". I couldn't believe the lack of respect. I laughed my ass off listening to them trying to downplay the Edmonton comeback - first Edmonton gets a TD to make it 37-13, and they were like "well that means nothing, this game is over", and then when it was 37-20 they were "well this is just about making the score respectable, but this game is completely over", and then when it suddenly became 37-27 they were still nattering on about Dickenson taking out all of his starting offensive guys to "make sure they are ready to play next week, as this game is over". I got home to start watching the game live just as Edmonton scored their final TD so I didn't get to hear the rest of the Calgary excuse-fest. All I have to say is - thank heavens we have Bob Irving. Calgary's radio guys suck.

I don't see any downside to this plan. It's not like Swiston-Pencer tandem at tackle could be any worse than Boatman/Douglas. And it would also mean we would have our only NI receiver as Watson out there, and we could keep Poblah off the field in favour of Sims-Walker or Doug Pierce. It's win win.

If he is healthy, they would be stupid not to get him in the lineup to at least see what he can do. If Sask can start Heenan at tackle this year after only one year, there is no reason why we can't start subbing in Pencer for at least a few plays a game.

What have we got to lose? Another game? At this point, let's get all of these "diamonds in the rough" as much playing time as possible. Get Pencer in there swapping out with Swiston at tackle. We need 4 NI's on the O-line, gives us so much more flexibility, including getting an import in at Safety and getting Cauchy off the field.

Boltus

I lost it in that BC game when Goltz had Simpson all alone standing on the sideline and he one-hopped it in front of him. Just inexcusable at this level.

It's a good thing we've invested in a QB coach then to help Goltz develop.

and Tate.

Yeah. We don't need him....

I could see this causing attendance at Argo home games to drop below 20,000. Oh wait, they were below 20,000 even with Ricky Ray playing.

so you can just walk away from contracts? Might as well save the paper of writing anything down and just do every player deal via verbal commitment and handshake.

am or pm? Oh morning show - never mind.... Is it streamed?

You might want to consider using a different term than "nips". This sentence could be read a completely different way if you were a red neck. I laughed real hard about him using that. He means NIs or NIMP's...but NIP....that's something else altogether... I wonder what his abbreviation is for a non-import guard.

Jim Toth ‏@JimTothCJOB1m As per @Sportsnet #Argos QB Ricky Ray does not need surgery but is expected to miss six weeks. Zach Collaros to start Tuesday. #Bombers

I think that Walters spent the last two weeks poring over just how Taman patched together the Riders with other teams cast-offs. The one thing Taman has and the last piece of our puzzle will be a quality, durable QB.
