Rookie playing one of the hardest positions on the field. Wasn't it Marsh that Stegall scored 5 Tds against? Lol. Just saying it's hard to write someone off after 1 game

Hurl definitely deserves all the kudos this game. Also liked Knox on ST

Riders CraPing it off the upright and Bombers win with Mr Automatic Justin Medlock

Hurl was so great and was so intimidating that they only ran the ball 7 times.

Haven't really been impressed with any defense outside of Toronto and Montreal so far.

Pretty much. I'm not sure how we managed to do this.

Would you feel better with Frederick and Carmichael? I had the same thought but Alexander was much better than Frederick in pre-season and just happens to be a rookie. So you can look at it that way...

Might be a good fit; I agree. We are severely lacking in national offensive skilled players. Went through another draft without making it a priority...and yet somehow we've had a few guys fall into our lap despite that.

Wouldnt surprise me if we passed. The team seems to have the attitude that if Harris goes down we would change where we put a Canadian.

:shakes head:

I didn't watch the whole game but I saw one of "The Duke" 's TD catches. The DB was right on him, he pushed him just as the ball arrived and then easily caught it. I'm not sure how it wasn't PI or wasn't challenged as such.

As far as amount of weapons and quality of defense I thought Toronto looks to have great potential. I'm with Mike on the Ticats looking like garbage, though. At the end of the day it was the first week. It is really hard to determine the power rankings.

Something has to be said about that ticat secondary though. Honestly the ticats look awful in general

Then who is the kick returner? Washington? Does Fogg do kick returns too?

I counted 20 but then I counted 22 lol. Looks like both reserve positions will be oline men. One national, one import. Couture and Foketi? A lot can happen before the first game. We still need to put guys on IR too

I don't think Stafford brought anything that Lankford/Washington/Williams don't. And I'm guessing Stafford was more expensive. Good move Walters.

Haha yeah. We were laughing at it moreso. Regular season I would have been pissed. But I doubt they let that go in regular season.

Nope. 207. I'm not surprised someone else was vocal about it.

#84 the entire 4th quarter. I'm telling you. Someone should make a video montage

Hard to pick 3 guys that stood above the rest. A lot of guys made plays. Even thought the DBs in the 4th quarter deserved a better fate. Very exciting preseason game, which can't be said about many in the past.

The refing was terrible. Chaosmonkey and I were having a hoot watching #84 on Edmonton go offside every play in the 4th quarter. It wasn't even close. That and some of the PI calls were pretty laughable. The 4th quarter was comedic but wouldn't have been funny if it was regular season

JFG, Chungh, Goossen, Harris, Loffler, Westerman, Hurl. If you're talking about when Thomas subs in then yes.

Pointing more and more like we're going to go with Hurl at MLB. Don't even know if we can DI a linebacker, or if we should.

Lankford sure showed his abilities during the first pre-season game. I don't think his hands are terrible and it's just a matter of being consistent and "getting his head in the game". Somewhat reminds me of when we had Adarius Bowman.
