If this was a sport it would be the best sport in the world.

Woodson is just as brittle as Buck and Watson and Stephan. I expect him to not be a long term solution.

well, how about we give them one more shot tonight. Clearly "pocket Buck" wasn't working. So let's let old Buck scramble like he always did, get hurt like he always does, and let nature take its course.

Awesome!!!

he hasn't won, whether or not you realize it is irrelevant.

yeah and Elliott looked like garbage in that second last game of the year last year in Hamilton too. We can do this all day. You're not going to win, because in the end, Buck and Elliott are both no good.

Ismael Bamba anyone?

Not defending Buck (because that's a waste of time) but I would have liked to have seen how he would have done in that Hamilton game where Elliott lit it up. There was virtually no defence on the field that night, it was like playing the second team D in practice. Actually I would have liked to have seen what TJ Rubley or Brad Banks would have done too.

yeah that's an idea. We've drafted too many receivers in the past few years that aren't on our roster. Mr. Mack - head out East with some coins in your pocket and some shampoo coupons and bring Johnny Hairband to Winnipeg!

as I said I blamed Lapo for some of it, but it wasn't just that last drive. We had plenty of opportunities to put that game away and Elliott and the offence blew it.

unfortunately, or fortunately for Buck who I assume gets a bonus for every game he wins, even lucky wins still count.

Ok so anyone have any ideas on possible NI receivers out there that we could bring in? There has to be something better than Taylor Renaud available right? I assume because we are all geniuses that Burke and Crowton just log on this site and do whatever we think is right. Other than cutting Elliott of course....

did anyone see any receiver in that list I posted that we might be interested in? That's assuming of course that the team lets the player go. My understanding is that if you try and grab a P/R player you have to start that player the next week. Also, if the team you are trying to grab him from protects him, they have to start him that week too.

woah woah woah....there's only one guy who gets to type that name in these parts...

Buck sucks. Elliott sucks. Darrell Hackney was our best QB prospect to come through in years. Other than the fact he was 300 lbs and could barely move, not sure why he wasn't kept by Kelly.

P/R NI receivers I see on other teams we could try and grab after the game on Friday: Sask: 71 Thompson, Mitch WR Non-Import 5.09 185 1992-12-01 Regina Thunder 83 Anthony, Alex WR Non-Import 6.02 205 1991-04-09 Wilfrid Laurier Calgary: 83 Morin-Plante, Yannick WR Non-Import 6.00 195 1989-09-25 Laval Hamilton: 75 Diston, Jay WR Non-Import 6.03 185 1990-05-10 Burlington Braves Toronto: 84 Millington, Ezra WR Non-Import 6.00 195 1988-05-30 Ottawa Montreal: 88 Pierre, Youssy WR Non-Import 6.00 185 1985-08-08 Montreal Then there were all the NI cuts/free agents out there looking for work, like I had mentioned Brescacin before. Not sure how many would be interested knowing that they'd be gone again in a few weeks when Watson and Poblah came back.

at this point I'd be trying them at receiver

yeah that was my original point too. Why are we still talking about Elliott? Why don't we keep pining over Mike Quinn and Stephan Lefors too while we are at it.

Not sure. Aaron Hargreaves? We could use a guy to run ten yards and just stand there on every play.

so who do we bring in for NI depth? Brescacin? Brock Ralph?

We should have won that home game against BC last year, that we lost on the last play of the game to a FG. I know Lapo takes part of the blame for his conservative vanilla play-calling, but Elliott should have delivered that game. He had multiple chances to put it in the endzone and didn't.

I really would like to see Lulay and Demarco go down just so Elliott has to come into a game for the Lions. I would bet Buono would be crapping his pants.

I was happy that Elliott won the POTW award twice. What I didn't like was that the weeks when he didn't win it he deserved the SPOTW award.

or get tackled in a post-season game...oh wait...Edmonton won't be in one this year so it's all good...
