Jacquie

Numbers, in this case, don't tell the whole story. I can recall a number of Willy's passes being right on the money that were dropped by the receivers.

IIRC Barrin Simpson said we would have won 10 games if we'd had a QB that year.

Miller hired Walters - not best friendsWalters hired O'Shea - not best friends O'Shea hired Bellefuille - not best friends O'Shea hired Hall - not best friends Exactly who are you referring to. Miller hired Walters & did no executive search. Walters hired his old college roommate. That's the stuff I'm talking about Jacquie. Seems to be an absolute refusal to start fresh. According to Lawless, Miller spoke to at least 2 others about the GM position (one being Higgins). Roommates? Walters and O'Shea were teammates for 1 season. Well,I'd like to see that quote so we finally know. I read after Miller hired Walters back in December of 2013 that he didn't do an executive search or much of one because he said he got to know Walters & felt he was best for the job. Who is right & who is wrong? IF that is true, that wasn't Miller's mandate. He was hired to do a proper search & if he didn't then he should have done one. Excerpts from an October 30, 2013 column by Lawless: I won't both with a link since the column is behind the pay wall.

The noise ISO was talking about wasn't Gainer's cart. It was going on for Rider offensive plays. Although Gainer's cart is really annoying too.

There are Ticat fans there and it sounds like one has one of those vuvuzela things there.

We went after Stubler, Washington, Steinaurer and a couple other before hiring Etch.

McManus recommended Brohm. Bellefuile had never coached Brohm before the trade.

Let's definitely hold off the hype for the team that blew a 21 point lead and lost the game.

I don't remember the play. Was he making the flag throwing motion or complaining some other way? One thing I find kind of funny is no one has commented on the time count violation that resulted in a loss of down that the Stamps took.

Hardly the same thing.

Bender with the Sun is such an idiot. jim bender ‏@bendersun So, now the #redblacks beat the reigning Grey Cup champs. Everyone's beating them but the #bombers. Thanks to Wpg returner.

You posted too soon. They did lose.

Except that isn't the reason the refs are using. They're doing the whole ''immediate recovery'' fiasco from last week in Sask. Still right though. The play was dead as soon as the official ruled the convert good. The immediate recovery part comes when the convert was overturned.

Sorry, but this is horseshit. When you criticize Ms. Held's choices, you are deflecting blame from the cop who massively overescalated the situation. Let's set aside her suspicious death for now, because no one here has any idea what happened in her cell. Tell me, at what point does she do anything that warrants physical assault, a taser threat, an arrest, and jail time? The blame belongs with the cop. Not with the victim. The cop shat the bed on this one. http://www.texasstandard.org/shows/current/10-things-about-the-sandra-bland-traffic-stop-every-texan-should-know/ dissects his mistakes in some detail. Yes it looks excessive but sometimes looks can be deceiving. Maybe she was doing something when in her car that couldn't be seen on camera. There's a lot we don't know so to place blame on one person is premature imo. Both the police officer and Ms Held could have done things differently.

Boy do I want to see Cauchy whiff on a tackle and then fall down while in pursuit...please let that happen. He likely won't see the field unless he's on Teams.... He has been in for some defensive plays. He has 7 tackles on the season - none on ST.

Taman has always been a media darling so it wouldn't surprise me if most of what is said in the media comes directly from him. When the process of hiring a new GM happened in 2010 there was so much lobbying for Taman by the media and constant updates on what was going on in the process with respect to Taman it was sickening. Then came the reports on Taman turning down the position because he wanted autonomy and didn't want to have to report to the BoD (which was funny in a way since he didn't have autonomy when he became GM in SK because of Miller). Bauer here and Hopson in SK both had their noses in things when they were Presidents of their respective teams. I don't know what the new President of the Riders is like but this could be the first season where Taman is truly operating without a net.

Eskimos don't have their depth chart up yet. Someone will post it when it's available I assume. I can't get the pic to post no matter what browser I use (Firefox, Chrome or IE), they all say I'm not allowed to post that kind of file which is odd because it's just a jpeg. I think it was the "large" after the "jpeg" extension that was causing the problem.

Its scary to work for a organization that is prone to knee jerk reactions. This in itself will be Chamblins undoing. Getting thrown under bus and fired isn't much fun. No one wants to be a meatshield. Honest question, wouldn't you agree its likely the biggest reason Benevides turned the riders down for the DC job?Benevides isn't coaching this year because his daughter is/was sick.He does have a sick child and the fact that there isn't a children's hospital here yet was cited as a reason for him coming here, yes that's true. So do you think Benevides will never coach again then, is that what you are saying? Because I don't think that is true, he will coach again, and wouldn't it be interesting if it was here next year.I don't know. That decision could depend on how his daughter is doing. I agree. He was offered the DC position here as well and turned it down too. And we do have a children's hospital.

Yes it's all a conspiracy, started by those evil Winnipeg reporters. It's only going to "galvanize" them. Right. And when they go 0-5, 0-6, and then 0-7 they will be so galvanized they will be statues. Pretty funny considering how much of a bromance Lawless and others here have with Taman.

Meddles? Jones is also the DC of the Esks.
