you're not disagreeing with his statement lol. You're just saying that AC/McManus were good at getting the ball out. However, it was no secret that the more pressure you put on AC, especially when you started hitting him (even if he got the ball off) he got more and more frustrated and would get happy feet.

So you're admitting you're not a fan!?!

he's going to play the role of DB. Plug up the middle to open the ends for the pass rush. You're right that he's not ready for live action just yet. But in one or two years I can see him being a key piece to the Dline. Even in the Preseason, his first real pro starts he was getting double teamed. Once he gets the nuances of the pro game down, I can see him being a real force in the middle. Hopefully it pans out.

Ottawa has a new oc but they are running the same offence. Make no mistake about it.

I dont think drew "Willey" will be our starting qb at all....;)

Cone played himself off the team. I really hope macho did too.

First I'd just like to say that this was preseason. So the results are what they are but not a measuring stick for the year. Saying that, I really hope those imbreds at the rider forum are riping Jones a new one. I mean according to most the bombers looked horrible in their WIN against MTL. Some even considered it a battle of the worst 2 teams this year. Now bc is certainly on that list of bottom feeders and the riders couldn't even compete. Starters or not. I'm sure they're making up all sorts of excuses as to why they looked like garbage though. I can't wait to see how mad Jones gets throughout the year.

totally agree

It's boring at work today so I'm going to complain about something that's not that important. Was any one else annoyed at how often the drummers were playing? It was after nearly every play, you could barely make out what the announcers were saying and I was in the upper deck. Don't get me wrong, I like them. But it was just too much. Save that **** for TD's or something. Damn

Saying that though, I sure hope they find a way to keep both!

In regards to Flanders vs Anderson. Anderson didn't really have a chance to go against anyone in the 4th qtr. If I'm not mistaken most of his time came in the 2nd/some of the 3rd. I'd still go with Anderson over Flanders at this point as Anderson showed more early than Flanders did. This is assuming that more talented players were on the field for MTL earlier in the game.

Was at the game, nice to have football back! first team O looked solid. Nice roll out and toss to smith by Willy. Still holding on to the ball a bit too long (resulted in a sack and under through to Darvin who would have scored) Oline held up nicely, especially while running. Huge holes! Decent blitz pick ups too. Good to see in preseason. Defence!! Westerman looked great. Corney! Two sacks and a kick return!! Good to see him get in there. Thought Macho looked so so...though I did see him come in fairly late to a play where the QB had scrambled. It concerns me cause that was/is his MO, taking stupid penalties that don't need to happen. Bennet/Davis - Anderson/Flanders making for some tough choices for the coaches that's forsure. Thought Davis slightly outplayed Bennet same with Anderson over Flanders. But hope to see the four play again on monday. The Refs...oh dear god the refs. Specifically #79 holy hell I hope he never actually refs a real game. Just brutal, between phantom calls to not knowing which side caused the penalty, to signalling to the wrong side (WPG penalty - points to Mtl etc) I really hope this wasn't a sign of things to come this year.

Yeah I knew the type. And I'd love to own one. But I also have experience correcting/training dogs. AAAAAANNNNYWAAAYYYY....Back to the topic at hand....... Riders suck.

on a completely unrelated note, your new avatar is awesome. Please tell me that's your dog and that you have more photos you'd be willing to share... EDIT - Nevermind just found the photo online.

GAME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well to be fair the sun isn't the centre of the universe.

meh, new system not even one full week of practice. If they aren't in sync going into week 3 then I'll be worried.

I got it. Just sent the reply

I don't have any messages....weird

I'd take SJ Green. Then Bowman (fixing his eyes before playing him) and then Dressler.

I just don't understand the logic. They aren't doing anything that won't be changed in the near future. "market correction" in this case is legit, "Don't want to pay what others are paying" and that's it. This won't have any impact on next years draft. It would have only worked if the entire league was in on it. But SSK is the only team talking this way. I don't see how this doesn't play out in a way that damages their rep among other players in the future. There isn't a player out there who gives a **** about proper market "Worth". They all want to be paid, and will absolutely regard this as a stubborn GM refusing to pay market value for a top draft pick. It boggles my mind that they are trying to play the game this way. I don't see how they come out on top here.

Does neuf have any value in a trade right now? When does that start to dwindle? How has Keeping looked at Camp? That's actually one name I haven't heard at all. Could Couture be a serviceable back up if we went with Keeping Goosen and Chungh and traded neuf?

that depends on how Chunghs contract plays out. If we sign him, then yeah we will be well on our way to having some solid depth. If not, we will still have some work to do.

I think the log cutting is dumb, I don't know why really. I just don't like it. The whistle in Hammy is ok, the horse in CGY is (was?) awesome. And of course our canon is great. What do other teams do? I know SSK has gainer go back and forth in a truck...that's kinda lame....What about BC MTL or TO?

Keeping at Centre? Goosen and Chungh gaurds....
