  1. Not to pass judgment on this particular "incident" because I didn't witness it, but an acquaintance of mine from my youth who is a little "opportunistic" is well-acquainted with the mother. I'm loathe to say much more, but I'm a little skeptical around what actually happened and what certain perceptions of what happened were with that background knowledge.
  2. Reworking a contract midseason for less money is extremely rare. I doubt they were asking to defer money to next season. Walters himself said that they had one conversation and that he and the agent agreed that they signed a contract and that it would be honoured, much how he wouldn't appreciate Willy coming to ask for more money if he had a MOP season with time left on his deal.
  3. So basically you don't understand the game enough to synthesize and analyze it qualitatively or quantitatively. If our D and special teams score 2 TD's and our offense doesn't get a first down we win 14-13, the offense didn't play well enough. There's analyzing the whole team, and analyzing the phases. If the other team scores more points than us and our offense turned the ball over 7 times, why would you look at the defense?
  4. Maybe Durant leads us to a sweep of the Riders in 2017.
  5. Sounds more like Walters taking a passive aggressive shot at a handful of media who cover pro football like it's pro wrestling.
  6. No kidding. Making himself and especially Wiecek look more idiotic.
  7. I'd have Adams on the boundary with Heath, Fogg and Randle on the field side. Frederick I'd try to keep on as a DI and then I'd shift Randle inside in dime.
  8. It's more the GM part in terms of assembling a team of assholes...not the good assholes that other teams hate, the ones who teammates can't stand.
  9. Montreal is full of locker room cancers.
  10. Gonna need those first rounders if they can't get Chungh signed.
  11. What do we do with another DB? I'm guessing Bruce Johnson is gone and someone else is dealt too?
  12. Has that guy ever played more than a couple games without getting severely injured?
  13. Lawrence? He literally ran from the far hash to the opposite sideline on one play yesterday behind the line of scrimmage to avoid being tackled. Not what I want in a RB.
  14. Ya signing him would have been a bit of a risk at this point, and I'm probably the guys biggest fan. Cole and Green have been very good for us.
  15. As a team they are dealing with the blitz better. They are running the ball effectively which causes teams to back off and defend the field. They are blocking both the OL actually doing their job and guys like Normand and Sheppard playing bigger roles. Now they have to figure out how to convert 2nd downs. First down production is really good. I'd like to see the pocket move a bit and see less throws that cover a ton of field laterally, lower the degree of difficulty a touch and give Nichols more options in a route.
  16. Play calling to kick field goals. Lapo drives me nuts. There was a 2nd and long where he explicitly called a one read play for a 5 yard out to set up a 45+ yard attempt. Not going to fly when you play teams that can score 3 touchdowns in a quarter without blinking.
  17. I think Denmark or McDuffie would be the DI. Sheppard is pretty integral on damn near every down for what Lapo is trying to do to counter blitz, especially with a new back in there who would be playing his first real CFL game.
  18. We can't lose the time of possession badly week after week and expect to win without the defense playing out of their minds like yesterday, even against 1-10 teams. Goal-line stands, redzone turnovers over and over. Our offense needs to be better. It's pretty simple. They need to score points, they need to score touchdowns, they need to get first downs and win field position. They are not doing that. We are relying on our defense to dominate to keep us in games and give us a chance to win.
  19. Lapo needs to trust his OL and run the ball a hell of a lot more too. Our OL is better than pretty much every DL they've faced since week 6. We still struggle to get to 15-20 runs.
  20. 3 dropped interceptions from the 3 interceptions they dropped. A dig to Mcduffie in the first that was way in front of him and right into the DBs lap, a pick six if he didn't drop it. Two deflections by DL that were up for grabs and easily could have been picked. They had two big TD drives that were mostly due to two big plays and a ton of penalties. Why don't you want consistent good QB play? I'm happy we can best 1-10 teams and backup QBs with our D...but I think we will need our offense to at least saw off BC and Calgary to give us a chance at winning. Nichols and the offense as a whole need to be much much better to get this team into the Grey Cup.
  21. The defence is winning games, with a helping hand from special teams. The only thing Nichols is doing well is not turning it over and there's an element of luck to that as the Riders dropped at least 3 INTs yesterday, a couple by DL who basically took the ball right out of Nichols hand. Lost the time of possession by 5 minutes, too many two and outs, basically lost the field position battle for the first half until the middle of the 2nd, couldn't get a first down. Our defense saved the game time and again. The difference between us and the teams we have to beat to get to the Grey Cup is a quarterback.
  22. It would be foolish to change the ratio on the OL. The logical options are: Leaving Lochard as tailback. Starting another NI receiver (JFG) and putting Flanders in as starting tailback. Flanders and Lochard could split time and we could DI an import receiver to sub in when Flanders came out. The big hit is going to be that we will lose a DI or two who are just special teamers likely to cover if Harris, Wild etc are out.
  23. Justin Cole needs some recognition. He was pissing Durant off all afternoon. Made Durant make the cry face on several occasions.
  24. Not really. This team is a contender. Why would you make a move that ends your shot if Nichols gets injured? If you're 1 and 10 you might think about "assets," if you're 7-4 you think about winning more games and getting to the Grey Cup this season.
  25. You guys watch too much hockey. Midseason football trades are nothing like what's proposed in this thread. You'd probably get a draft pick for Willy or neg listers.
