sweep the leg

Give me a break... we're talking Bob Irving here, not Lawless or Friesen. You don't think it was a vague, speculative tweet?

That's one tough customer you don't want to screw around with. He'll show you what's up pretty quick, especially when it comes to banned substances. He punishment of Jim Irsay was swift and severe...

It's insanity that you can lose a full season for smoking pot. The NFL is too high & mighty in it's quest for purity. If he'd beaten his wife unconscious to release his stress, he'd be back by week 3.

Couple new starters on the line in a building where they can't hear each other...what could go wrong?

I hate the idea of expansion, but the league has pretty much set themselves up for it with the change in divisions. I'm sure they don't plan on having unbalanced divisions forever. There will be a lot of new NHL jobs opening up. I played a bit of Junior 20 years ago. Maybe I still have a chance?

It's good for him. It's bad for the rest of us now b/c now, assuming he doesn't play, we'll have to see 10k closeups of him on the Rider sidelines during the game this weekend.

Other than being a nice guy, which I have first hand experience is very much true, do we know if he was actually good at his job or not?

It will unquestionably be the worst case scenario.

Maybe they're clearing the deck for a run at Dressler?

I thought this too, but now I'm not sure. O'Shea was very non-commital about who plays between Kromah & Kuale. He said he wouldn't announce it until they're getting on the bus to go. IMO that sounds more promising for the new guy than the guy defending his job.

O'Shea said on the coaches show tonight, when asked about Hall, that he didn't want players on the team who don't do what's asked of them. He compared him to Peyton & Montford, two pass rush specialists who complained about their roles in an Etch D. It really doesn't sound like O'Shea wants him.

It's Pall who should be upset then, not Iso.

Agreed. I don't even think he's the best receiver in the league.

Thankfully there's a date & time on these posts so Iso can tell his doctor the exact moment when he lost his mind.

I think Peach has been better than Vega so far this season. Better than a guy who's been either missing games to injury or playing hurt? Not much of a bar you're setting. Bottom line Hall would upgrade the DEs on this team My opinion that Peach has been better than Vega so far has nothing to do with Hall. I already said on page 1 of this thread I want him back.

I think Peach has been better than Vega so far this season.

I think it got legs when people were trying to justify trading him last year. Now they've told themselves the lie so often they believe it. So per Jaquie he went offside 10 times in 12 games as a Bomber last season. You don't consider that a lot?

Sort of, but he REALLY did not like the coaching staff we had last year for obvious reasons. That's why all the mentions of Hall to Toronto are funny. I'd think that would be the last place he'd go. IMO he signs in either Ottawa or Winnipeg.

Can anybody find individual penalty stats? It seemed like he went offside a lot. I'd be interested to see how he compared to other dl in the league.

Grigsby & Cotton would look good in Sask. too.

He's big, athletic, and a great pass rusher. He'd fit in here just fine.

Riders DL doesn't need him.

Seto to the Flames for 1 yr / $750k.

We didn't have a 1k rusher last season.

I thought punting out of the end zone was a good call considering the opponent (especially on the first one with Brink still in the game). The odds of Montreal scoring a TD were low...an FG is only one point more than a safety. The Bombers were lights out on kick coverage all night. Totally agree. You're guaranteeing them 2 points and the ball if you concede. A punt forces them to work to get anything. Unless it's the last minute of a half, or there's a huge wind, I would punt too.
