Dickenson was so impressed with the Oline play he called out Shepley to the Media! Haven't see someone do something like in a long time. Hopefully more to come, I'm sure that's a great way to build up a locker room lololololololol

I don't see how they can base things off last year with all the changes that have occurred.

I hear ya. I didn't think there would be a huge drop in play from the Oline or the Safety this year. I just don't want to start talking about first place finishes etc until later this year. Still too many games to be played.

They will get better no doubt in my mind. However, Gray can blow out a knee tomorrow during practice...or next game. Bryant can tear a bicep week 4. Nichols can take a helmet to the head week 6 etc etc etc etc. It's not that I think they will get worse. It's that injuries are more of a deciding factor then anything else really. I've watched enough CFL football to know even a team who starts 5-1 can miss the playoffs. I'm excited by what I saw on Saturday...but it's still very very very early in the CFL.

I actually agree with you here. Week 1 is very much preseason week 3 that counts in the standings. Take a look at last year for instance. Edm looked like world beaters for a good portion of the 1st half of the year....There's just so much time between now and October, lots can change. Great to be excited about a week 1 win, especially on the road. But it's determined exactly nothing.

I noticed him in preseason, and assumed it was Lucky due to the hair. Had no idea it was our 8th rounder. He keeps up that kind of performance and he will be a CFL record holder.

yet

He will, like Zontar said. His argument will be that Collaros should have never been out there in the first place! :)

Exactly, the bombers won cause they are the better team. And I can guarantee the same people pumping Reilly's performance would be shitting on Nichols if he had the exact same numbers in a loss. Nichols is never good enough.

To be fair they were screwed before that hit. They might have a chance now that they have our 4th string qb though.

I still think Bennett has what it takes to be a starter in the CFL, too bad hes a giant piece of **** now.

Yeah at this point, I never want to see Collaros on the field again. You're only harming your future self.

I dont think there has ever been anyone who has the ability and skills to play in the NFL, who doesnt due to "other reasons"...

You can buy me one

People are questioning why he's back. People where questioning why he came back last year after getting hurt. That doesn't excuse a clearly dirty hit. That could have been harker taking it and same results could have happened. Why Collaros was out there makes no difference to the outcome and should never play a role in the punishment. Anyone who argues that is either delusional or just being a homer.

Not a rule change yet. Not until next year. Yeah they stated they'd only be dressing two QBs for the season during their 1st preseason game.

Very excited to see what this Defence looks like. BC's Oline is an ideal 1st game for the DLine.

Yup, smart move resting people. These games matter in the standings but it's still very much a pre season game...last night is a prime example. Lots of football too go, I want this team health in late August and september etc. Injuries in June suck, but injuries in the second half of the season are way worse.

Which NAT starters are burt for the riders? I saw Bladek go down but who else?

Omg...lol that was a 3rd down stand

Hamilton still in preseason mode. I'm pretty sure TSN was saying they'd be pretty good....

Lawrence should have gotten tossed. At the very least, there should have been a fight. Someone should have punched him in his big mouth.

15 years and you still can't comprehend that you can be a fantastic athlete, but not a good fit for the NFL rules? Also, saying that something you've stated is impossible to measure and just an opinion is not getting defensive. It's providing a counter argument.

Andrew Harris

That's strictly you're opinion. And regardless of how stupid you want act, theres no way of knowing for sure. Youd have to compile huge amounts of data to even come close to a decent comparison. That's never been done, especially by you. I generally agree with you though, NFL usually has the better athletes. Saying that. The games aren't 1 to 1 comparable in themselves. Different needs by each game different body types etc. If you would pay attention, you might learn that.
