It was pretty obvious that Demolition was a knock off of the Road Warriors.

The way Rian ruined Luke alone is enough for him to be forever hated. How do you f up Luke Skywalker?

He was on 1290 this afternoon and did not say this. He said that he was lucky to come into Calgary with an already established BLM. He did say that BLM won his first MOP while working under himself though. He said he was humbled coming to Calgary because he thought he knew so much but after spending time with DD and Huff that he grew and continually is learning. Dinwiddie came off ok on the radio interview but yikes he may be facing an impossible challenge. He basically said that he isn't familiar with the coaching staff and the players on the team and that his plan is to bring exciting football (on the offense) to help bring the Argos fans out to the games. Sounds like he's coming in blind and will evaluate and make decisions once he looks at the staff and the players. He desperately will need Claybrooks or someone else to help carry the load for the team.

From what I heard on shoot interviews online is that on nxt they rehearse the complete matches days before they actually do them. That kind of stuff just makes it so dull to watch.

Where's Jimmy Hart... they can get him to do what he did in WCW by ripping off popular music and only changing a few notes lol

Not looking good for the Als.... it will look bad on them going back to the guys that they sent home already...

Both are much watch movies no question about that, my original post I was trying to say the theater experience with Matrix would be much better. The special effects and the fight scenes are awesome on a big screen.

Nah that was simply him hanging onto the ball a tad to long and getting smacked from behind. A better example would be one of the plays where he's rolling out of the pocket at a glacially slow speed and then ends up crumbling once he faces some pressure.

His frame does not help him with taking hits. The guy is build more like an accountant then a football player. Some folks are simply more accustomed to getting hurt easier then others. Look at Reilly taking an absolute **** kicking last season and he lasted longer then all the other qbs. He's a big solid dude so he can absorb more punishment.

The last two off seasons all we heard was about how Matt Nichols has worked out heavily and *bulked* up and how he's working hard to get bigger and faster. The guy just isn't physically able to take the punishment. On that play it wasn't necessarily his issue with mobility... just held onto the ball to long.

One of the studios will budge.... no reason to split the same fan base on two movies on the same weekend. That being said head to head Matrix 4 easily wins out for the one to see in the theater first.

Moving forward even with Streveler.... guys like Lawler and Bailey will *help* him by actually making plays and going for the ball rather then running lazy routes. I actually have faith in these guys on those 50/50 throws.

The Friesen article really hammers in how much respect the players do have for O'Shea. I wouldn't be opposed for them to sign him to a big contract for 5+ years.

I brought this up earlier on the board with Farhan telling 1290 this and the response on here is that he doesn't know anything and that 1290 is garbage and that people on here know more........ 🙄 I definitely don't see people over paying for the guys available this season. It doesn't make sense and our club is a great example of showing that with a mediocre qb you can build a good win loss record and have your defense carry you into the play offs.

Everyone is looking for a raise.... only Ottawa would be desperate enough to pay him anything more then what he made with us.

Had he not played the year before and shown really well then I think a whole bunch of people would be writing him off. That first season when given plays where he can pass the ball he did show very well.

I also remember when people were super excited about Dom Davis when he came out of Calgary......

McGuire

No the accurate reponse was that he was playing teams that gave him zero pressure, that were terrible in standings and as the season went on and he started playing against teams with more talent he struggled. When teams started isolating on the old dump off to Harris.... Nichols could not push the ball or make plays on his own.

And yet again we bring up Bishop going 12- 0 ....... Or we can bring up Reilly's won loss record for last season. Ignoring his salary ...would you take Nichols over Reilly?

Does anyone think we should go with Arbuckle (starter salary) and McGuire as our tandem? Cut ties with the rest?

Yes but people seem to think LaPo and Zach were THE only ones who factor this in. Completely ignoring the fact that every player has this.

Against **** competition... once he started playing against real defenses look what happened. Also it's typical for Offenses to click earlier before a defense will gel. Before he was hurt people on here were calling for Strev to replace him for the 2nd year in a row....

ZC showed that he can take a hit while playing with us.... Nichols can barely get touched without looking crippled these days.
