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...

yeah until he gets seriously injured like Nichols and his career is over.

Elliott is gone. Can we finally let this go? I'm glad he's gone. Sorry to say it, but after that Hamilton game last year I was a big fan, and he just let me down after that.

The database strikes again....

jinx!!!

no point bashing Reilly just because the guy didn't want to play here. I don't understand it myself. He's got some tools to be a good QB in this league, but why he'd want to go to the QB graveyard that is Edmonton with that decrepit o-line right now I have no idea. There will be "consequences".

This is reminding me of the game I went to in 2010 - Buck was struggling after a knee injury limited his speed, but Lapo started him anyway because we had nothing better in the bullpen. Our receiving situation was way worse then it is now, even with Edwards, Matthews and Watson out - our best NI receiver was BROCK RALPH and other than Edwards, we had Mr. I CAN'T CATCH Adarius Bowman and some guy named Jaymael Smith. And THEN, our kicker got hurt in warm-ups, so now Renaud has to kick the extra points, and we have some unknown linebacker doing the kick-offs. We had no one to kick FG's. It was a joke. This is a little better, but not much. I was hoping this year we'd avoid the injury bug a bit more than last year, but here we go again.

yeah I think Denmark's time is up here. I liked his hands but he's just not getting open enough. Time to try some twin towers out there - Pierce and Matthews. Let's see how that goes.

good strategy. Their defence isn't nearly as craptacular as Hamilton's though.

Buck should have been pulled in that game after he got rocked by Butler.

what do we do in Hamilton's bye week?

yeah I'd like to see Volny get some time on offence. He looked good when he was hanging on to the ball, and he did well in that game he started last year against Montreal. If we aren't going to block or run decent running plays, we might as well go with an NI running back and use the import somewhere else, like an 4th import receiver.

Did you say quirky?

with our current packages and blocking, Barry Sanders in his prime wouldn't get over 500 yards rushing this year.
