Winnipeg with 5-6 wins. Calgary finishes first in the West but loses at home in the WF.

Cal Murphy found this kid in 1995, who came north after Green Bay cut him. Turned out pretty well for us.

How many coaches do we have that are nationals?

Judy is a career NDPer who has never done anything else. Think of how screwed up Manitoba is and then imagine another NDPer running Winnipeg.

Most experienced yes. But maybe the coaching staff doesn't give too much weight on his experience as a 1-8 starting QB. Wonder if hall throwing the oline under the bus after the last game and saying " if that block was made, it was a td" and "i thought i played well" had anything to do with it? That is probably not something you want your qb or leader to say, leaders don't throw team mates under the bus like that and hall most certainly did. I think it contributed.

Are we expecting too much in one off-season?

I suspect we may see International-Greaves-Gossen-Morley-Neufeld by mid season.

Edmonton has his rights.

How about he didn't look good in either pre season game but did the same things he did last year, poor decisions, holds the ball too long, imobile etc.

Bandwaggoners? Jets sell out and they're not a playoff team. Averaged about 30,000 the past two years for a 9 and 27 team.

Wait, you guys didn't like Raymond Philiaw?

That is surprising. Given that we've sold over 21,000 Season tickets, I would have thought 25000 easy.

One guy has 62 yards and a td on 7 throws, the other has 29 and a pick on 7 throws and yet one is not better than the other?

It makes sense. He was better in game 2 than game 1 and seems to be improving. Hall was worse in game 1 than game 2 and frankly looks as he did last year: weak arm, inability to scramble, turnover prone and the offense looks stagnant.

For a "smart" QB, Hall makes some poor decisions such as not eating a sack to keep the shot a 3 points.

Henoc will be in Indy this year so the point is Moo. However you can buy a much nicer house in Winnipeg than you can in Toronto for less $$$. Plus you don't lose $ for a provincial pension fund.

Lopez as a STer?

That would be a pretty good sign.

Oh, I get it from a talent level but 6 is still low. I know its a sad reflection on our previous admins.

We only have 6 national OL on the roster. That is scary.

I'd take a look at Messam.

Moore, Denmark, Watson, Kolhert, Kelly with FG and Carter, Renaud as the backups. Urrutia, Reed, Johnson kept around. Team keeps looking.

And considering this is the first cutdown day for this management group, this would all be based on .... ? The messages that get through his tinfoil hat?

I think the addition of the extra DI spot allows Maher to make the team. He looks really good too. So does Liram H too. Both are an improvement over Palardy and Deangelis.
