I thought you couldn't trade injured players?

I respectfully disagree. I don't believe Denmark has had the same successful systems put in place as Dressler has. The two have played on very different teams. When plans are made to get Denmark involved, he's always made the most of it. I have nothing against Dressler, but I don't see his ability to stay on the field improving moving forward. Elite Rec's are great to have, but not if they can't stay on the field.

Exponentially? I don't see that big of a talent gap. Especially when you consider injury history and salary. Injury history plays an even bigger role if Smith is on the roster as well. As both Dressler and Smith have missed significant time the past two seasons now.

So is Dressler, except an argument can be made that he has a hard time staying on the field. Something Denmark has never had an issue with. And between Dressler and Denmark, I'm sure the $$ difference is significant. Out of the three moving forward (next season and beyond) I'd honestly make it between Dressler and Denmark on who to cut and who to keep. All 3 are very similar, one is young, two are "old". Out of the two old, one is more expensive (assuming) and more prone to injuries. Both older guys have solid hands/routes/are clutch....what's the argument to keep Dressler over Denmark? I'm not trying to start an argument, I just think it's something to consider moving forward.

DO IT!!

Wear the Armstrong jersey!!

Will anyone need to be let go because of this? Or do we have the roster space?

I think it's pricing itself out. The CFL needs to understand what type of crowd goes to the games. It doesn't have the prestige of the NFL or the superbowl. That on top of the fact I can have a better view, more comfortable seat and cheaper drinks/food at a friends house makes paying 400 bucks seem like a joke. Then add on TO doing what TO does best. Just incredible naive of whoever came up with the ticket prices.

smith

I'd like them to grab either Elliot or Gurley.

And Gurley got those stats catching footballs from 4 different QB's. Bringing in One of the three would be just fine. Wouldn't want to bring in two. Bring in the one guy, have the leaders on the team explain to him what's expected from the players (never mind what the coaches want) and go from there. The bombers have zero to lose at this point.

I would only go after one of, Hazelton or Elliot. Don't need to bring more than that in.

It was not because of his play.

Yes, I really hope we land him. Much rather have him over smith or Mcduffie in the line up.

I'm not saying it's good enough. I'm just saying he's made plays as long as he's been here and been put in the position to do so. You don't need to look back 2 years to see that. You don't even need to look back 2 weeks.

I think it's mostly due to the position he plays. Hard to beat out Americans as a slot receiver. And can he do it again? You mean Again...again? Cause those types of catches is all he's done while being in WPG. Remember the game winner against MTL where he took a huge hit? OR the game winner against the riders where he ran across the field, broke a few (shitty) tackles for the TD. Last week against CGY...when it comes to clutch Rec on our team, I'd rank only Dressler and Denmark ahead of him at this point. Maybe Smith too.

??? Did you not see his play last game? Or his catch agaisnt the riders? He's made several clutch plays THIS year. I'm not trying to say he's a game breaking. But you don't have to go back 2 years to see that he can get the job done when needed.

true, but none of those listed were found via scouting. Which is what I was referring to. But regardless I'd like to see that line up at some point this season.

Certainly an arguement to be made for keeping the depth. But they need all the help they can get when it comes to finding Rec. Haven't had much success with that during Walters stay.

This is true.

Mcduffie can't be a starter on O because of the ration though. That's why he's listed as back up. He's listed as KR and PR. I really hope he plays.

You're assuming you need to have a stellar year to have any chance to get into the NFL and that's just not true. He is apparently going to try the NFL again, so Hamilton gets better now, for 2 months. We got something for a guy who is not going to sign another CFL contract until after the NFL options dry out. It's really not that bad of deal, when you consider both the bombers and hamilton know he's not going to resign with anyone this year.

I wouldn't mind keeping him over dressler to be honest. Just due to dresslers age. But yeah I don't think both of them will be on the team next year.

wow...didn't see that coming.

Looks like Adams will be taking a seat this week. Hopefully this wakes him up!
