He'd be stupid to sign before the end of the current NFL season IMO. He spends 3 weeks on the active roster in the NFL and he makes what he could in a whole season in the CFL.

Next video I'd like to see a punt between the numbers and sideline.

Every player coming north has that attitude. Glad to see he's not 250 lbs with half of that in his gut. Looks in good shape.

Speaking of that website, cfl.ca, anyone notice how messed their stats are? Justin Cole doesn't even exist.

Let's get Nichols TD to turnover ratio up to 1:1 and then we can make long-term plans.

Sounds like the Lions need to purge more whiney vets. New coach has a different routine that means you can't eat lunch when you used to with the old coach...cry me a freaking river. If they are worried about crap like that no wonder they play like garbage on the field.

Messam has rarely hit double digit carries in a game in his career with any OC. Conditioning and ball security.

You can continue to state this until you are blue in the face, doesn't make it true. Check and see how long the Argos kept Etch, Stubler and Andrus. Didn't prevent them from signing Milanovich. Hamilton fires Marcel in 2011, Cortez in 2012 and still manage to hire Austin ($$$) in 2013. Money is a huge factor for those guys. If the Bombers paid Austin what he's getting in Hamilton he'd have to assemble a volunteer coaching staff and personnel department. Big difference between privately owned teams and community owned. I'm aware of what Austin is paid. The Bombers could afford him if they wanted to..even with the debt payments. Our stadium generates much more revenue than Hamilton's Revenue is irrelevant. One entity has to operate within a budget, the other operates at the whim of a billionaire.

Reminds me of Troy Smith in terms of raw skills. Hopefully he can learn how to pass in this league.

Obviously your message board etiquette needs some brushing up. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim. You don't get to call things facts without being prepared to source that claim. The 5 people who liked that post and myself agree. BTW, Iso, at the press conference when O'Shea was hired, O'Shea and Walters both said they were "teammates" - not friends, not roommates. Bill Frank posted the link proving they were friends, looks like you owe iso_55 an apology no? Why? Iso did nothing to back his claim with links, just his "memory". Lucky for him Bill Frank put in the work and found a story citing the Walters/O'Shea friendship after their CIS days. Kudos to Bill Frank for actually doing the research. You guys might want to re-read that link carefully. Running into each other at "football functions" wouldn't really register as a personal relationship. If it does, nobody in Canadian football could hire anyone else in Canadian football if they are avoiding their "buddies" and "friends."

They need to wash them in bleach to get the colour of the actual 70s-80s-90s jerseys.

Willy: 22-25 325 3 TDs against the Riders. Think he fits just fine.

That is not unique. You pretty much described the roster management that every professional sports team goes through, every team has a structure, they aren't making decisions in a vacuum. Different managers place different values on certain positions and factors. Muamba would be comparable to Cornish in terms of Canadians playing traditional import positions, break the bank-ers. There aren't many teams paying running backs as much as Calgary does, basically them and BC. True, but if you use Cornish as a comparison, does Muamba bring the same level of on-field impact that Cornish does knowing their on opposite sides of the ball? Muamba plays every snap on D and probably every special team. At his peak Cornish played 2/3 of the offensive snaps and got 17 touches a game. Fantuz, Getzlaf and Cornish are all in the $225,000 neighbourhood, and there are a handful of offensive linemen up there too. I think Muamba will be the highest paid Canadian in the league if he comes back.

In zone run blocking the back reads the blocks and hits the gap he finds. The call isn't going to a certain gap, it's right or left, and mostly up to the back and the blocking which is based on the defensive front. Looks to me like Walker is extremely hesitant, he did a lot of shuffling last night, which could be physical or mental (can't read the blocking), and our line is pretty terrible too. Even when Walker got the ball once on a run play and once on a screen well outside of the tackle with a ton of space he barely got going before the Riders closed in. I don't quite think his speed has ever matched the hype, and that's been for years. He's worse than Grigsby.

We really have to start teaching capology in our schools...basic math too.

2.. both of his fumbles.First one Stanley Bryant got burned. I'd blame that one more on Stanley.And the other on Longo... He only had one fumble in the pocket, and that was on both guys on the left side, simplest twist in football beat them that time and about 10 other snaps. The fumble on the Nichols run is on him. Gotta realize that the guys you ran by as they went upfield are coming back, secure the ball.

"Once I realized I was caught on video, I immediately apologized."

Leggett can do a lot of things. He's able to show that being closer to the LOS. I liked their 30 fronts with all the backers on the field. Hurl has been playing very well and now taking on more of a role on 2nd downs in recent weeks.

Longo and Bryant were getting beat on the simplest twist all night. LB blitzes into LT, DE loops around into the LT's inside gap. All night. Nichols got the ball out pretty quick for the most part, but took some shots too. That twist was used on his first fumble.

There is an ignore function, and it is useful.

Really. If this game doesn't get the American punter on the roster and Stoudermire off of it, I'm not sure what Hajrullahu and Stoudermire have to show in terms of negative play to get sat/lose the punting job. Hajrullahu's miscues around punting are costing us points every game.

I believe the direct snap to Briggs on the punt fake was an O'Shea twist that we wouldn't have seen previously under.....whatever his name was. Yep, first punt fake we've run in a long time. Special teams coach would put the fakes into the gameplan based on the other teams tendencies, but that call always comes from the head coach.

That's pretty much it. Nichols did enough in the first half to lose this game if we're playing anyone but Brett Smith, who can't pass the ball to save his life. Nice to have a QB who has a clue in the passing game again.
