M.O.A.B.

Wow! There's a lot of Troy Westwood disciples here. Btw, I heard he's having a coffee with Banks somewhere down there in Alabama.

Family comes first and I think O'shea has no problem with this. Remember when Maher's wife gave birth the day before the 2nd preseason game. He should have let Maher gone home if Maher just told him. Anderson starting should not be a big drop off. My only worries is how many penalties does Anderson and Frazer will get.

6'9" slot receiver ? that's huge!

If someone can post the image of the Depth Chart that will be appreciated.

Bob Irving ‏@BobIrvingCJOB 2m Bryant turner not expected to play vs RedBlacks. Welcome to CFL kashawn Fraser.

Chemistry is a big key on the OL and that's gonna be an issue for the ReturnBacks.

Winnipeg 1 - Ottawa 0

Kirk Penton @PentonKirk O'Shea also isn't sure of Zach Anderson (heel) will be good to go. Anderson says he'll play. #Bombers Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Mike O'Shea said after today's practice that he's still not sure if DT Bryant Turner will be back for Thursday's game. #Bombers Uh-oh, that will be big if those 2 won't play. We only have 1 DL (Frazer) on PR although they can move Kuale on DE for a week.

Booo. Ticats 3rd after that Rider's spanking ? Lions 4th after those 4 interceptions and ahead of the Esks ? Argos 5th and ahead of the Bombers who beat them ?

Calgary Stampeders Off-Season Ranking: 1 No surprise here. The Stampeders were firing on all cylinders on Saturday afternoon, shutting down Montreal's offence to perfection, while also overwhelming their defence with relentless pressure from all angles. Bo Levi Mitchell was solid in his debut as the team's starter. We'll see if their early Week 2 bye ceases any momentum they might have gained. Saskatchewan Roughriders Off-Season Ranking: 2 Thanks to their big win over the Ticats, any questions surrounding the Riders heading into the 2014 season were silenced...at least for now. Tailback Anthony Allen was exceptional in his first career CFL game, trucking for 158 rushing yards and a touchdown, while also adding another score through the air. Oh, and don't think we forgot about the defence. 10 sacks, plus just 201 yards of allowed offence? Can't get much better than that. Hamilton Tiger-Cats Off-Season Ranking: 3 Don't read too much into Hamilton's Week 1 loss. You can be sure that Kent Austin's team will be a much more disciplined and prepared team for their Week 2 contest against the Eskimos. BC Lions Off-Season Ranking: 5 How uncharacteristic was Saturday's four-interception-outing for Kevin Glenn? It took him eight appearances before he threw four picks all of last season. The Lions were solid on both sides of the ball in the first half against Edmonton, but seemed almost surprised to see the Esks battle back in such impressive fashion in the final 30 minutes. A trip East to Montreal awaits. Toronto Argonauts Off-Season Rankings: 4 Ricky Ray had a typical night under centre for the Argos (27-38, 283 yards, 2 TDs), as he connected with nine different receivers for at least one reception. The defence remains a work in progress, but defensive coordinator Tim Burke did warn that there would be some growing pains. It won't get any easier for the Boatmen secondary, who were victimized for over 300 passing yards and four touchdowns, as they get set to welcome the defending champs to the Rogers Centre. Edmonton Eskimos Off-Season Ranking: 7 The Esks looked good...real good against a BC team that threw whatever they had and more in their direction. Mike Reilly was sacked three times, which is just below the 3.15 QB takedowns they allowed per game in 2013. Nonetheless, Edmonton looked like a different team in Chris Jones' first game, and could prove to be a surprise team in the West. Winnipeg Blue Bombers Off-Season Ranking: 8 Can you ask for a better season opener than the one the Bombers put forward on Thursday night? Drew Willy was almost perfect, and the defence held their own against a Toronto team that victimized them for 97 points in three games in 2013. Montreal Alouettes Off-Season Ranking: 6 The post-Anthony Calvillo era got off to a rough start for the Als, with replacement Troy Smith completing just 43 per cent of his passes for 154 yards. Brandon Whitaker, meanwhile, was solid in his first game since Week 10 of last season; a good sign for an Als offence that will look to rebound against the Lions. Ottawa REDBLACKS Off-Season Ranking: 9 Ladies and gentlemen: Your first place Ottawa REDBLACKS! Rick Campbell's group was on bye in Week 1, and will be well rested for their franchise-opening matchup with Winnipeg on Thursday http://cfl.ca/article/cflca-power-rankings-stamps-top-inaugural-2014-list

Dunnigan's Game Ball - Drew Willy Climie's Penalty Flag - Kyries Heber Schultz's Oh My Goodness - Ken Austin and the Ticats.

I'll be watching the Arron Kelly - Jovon Johnson matchup. We should milk that match-up, imo. Their receiving corps doesn't scare me a bit - Kierre Johnson, Marcus Henry, Paris Jackson, Dobson Collins and Matt Carter. And their best 2 maybe lineup against our 2 best DB in Randle and Washington. But we need to lookout on Lavoie though.

Aaron Kelly. If I have to guess, his match-up is against Jovon Johnson.

Agree. BC has no depth on their OL and that's on Buono

@Zontar... pls send my thank you to Austin for outbidding us for Collaros. Turn out it's a blessing for us.

I got a feeling Lefevour will be the in at 2nd half.

and he's a big RB. 6'1" 220.

Can't we just suspend him ?

Yeah he (Banks) helped on recruting Moore but remember also Willy and Moore are good friends since their college days.

So... Watson goes to the 1-game IR Feoli-Gudino replaces Watson as starter Carter goes on from 46 to 44 If Alexander is healthy he goes from IR to 44 Jones goes from 44 to 46 O'shea hinted that they will retain the same lineup

I got a feeling Oshea don't like him. If we can somehow exchange Kory Banks (34) for Kyries Heber (33), I'll be all for it. Heber is versatile player and can play mutiple position on D. Heber and Kuale will be scary combination on the LB, that's for sure.
