sweep the leg

I think it was more just a bad night for the Lions. I don't think they look very good, but they should be better than last night showed. Eskimos only had two sacks against the Als. I don't think their ol is that much better than BCs. Like Speedflex said, I think BC ol gave up. Weird couple weeks so far. Both teams in the Friday night game looked completely different than their first games.

And we have an oc who can figure out how to beat an aggressive defence.

And their $250k guard just got beat clean for a sack...

Boyko looks terrible tonight.

BC centre is pretty erratic with his snaps.

I think it's a little early to be making definitive statements about either team. Ottawa's defence looked like garbage last night, but a week earlier shut down the Stamps. Same deal with the Riders D against the Ticats.

We don't want Maata. He's been terrible since his rookie season. He was healthy scratched for Jack Johnson in the playoffs. He's still young, so I guess there's a chance he could turn his career around, but injuries and bad health have really hurt his progression. Plus he's a terrible skater...

Yeah, sounds weird to me, but that's what they said. Who knows... Maata trade went through.

Minor football in Manitoba is really struggling for players. I'm involved with the Falcons, and they're struggling at every age except peewee. Even peewee only has good numbers b/c Transcona won't have a feam, so their players are coming over. Youth tackle football is dying in this province.

Heard the same on the morning show. Apparently the Pens made a better offer for Trouba, but the trade fell apart when Trouba's agent told Chevy he'd sit out the season if he didn't get traded where he wanted to go.

Great player, but I wouldn't want that contract on my team. The $ they're paying their top 3 d is crazy.

Kahun will be an NHLer with the Pens next year. Played all 82 games with the Hawks last year.

Yeah, was having flashbacks to the Hamilton game last year.

I loved the way Gray played. He was the reason for several Lion temper tantrums. He gave a Lion the rock bottom on our last possession. Imo, the OL was definitely the biggest positive in the game.

Nice fact checking, but it was only Ripper you proved wrong. I don't see that as a major feat...

Wasn't a big fan of the chicken dance. He should definitely tell Carter that he was a coward, but I thought he was lucky to not to take a taunting penalty for the dance. He took a bad penalty after the 2nd int, too. He played very well, but maybe needs to tone it down after the whistle. Maybe it was just excess adrenaline for game 1.

Jefferson vs Boyko seems like an ugly mismatch.

I don't see that. I'm not sold on Hecht, but the rest of the guys have proven themselves in the CFL. The only real concern I have is our interior ol against two very good defensive tackles for the Lions.

I don't think I've ever been more angry watching the Bombers than that game. I just about threw my remote through the tv when Dinwiddie threw that last pick. He had so much room to run for the 1st down...

I think Macho is in this group unfairly. Imo, he played reasonably well for us. We were just ready to not like him b/c he came to us off of a bad season with the Riders.

I'm not concerned about Wilson. I thought he played well last season, when given the chance.

It's pretty disappointing Jones couldn't beat out Hecht. Having said that, Hecht didn't look terrible when he played last year, albeit in a different role.

Coombs is still on 26. I was surprised by that. Seems like he's been around forever...

They do have a pretty good rb combo. I'm not sure who I'd rank first as a combo. I don't dislike Fajardo, but I'd take Streveler, Arbuckle, & Jennings over him. Maybe MBT, Too.
