It's an expansion franchise, what did anyone really expect ? They seem to be the darlings of the CFL with the media. Personally, I hope they flop on the field. It would look good on Desjardins. I REALLY hope they don't beat us in their first game.

I know we still have the draft and our roster isn't complete yet, but boy oh boy that isn't a good team.

I'd pass. We already have Banks.

And he'll have to beat out Jarvis Jones to keep his job, which is far from a given.

I thought it was possible he'd have to take a pay cut or be released, but I didn't think he'd hang em up. Regardless, he was a complete class act for us and a really good player, its too bad stupid Fantuz took the receiving title from him in 2010.

It really is an easy win for you guy. I'd be happy they took Williams off your hands.

I'm surprised there's no Anthony Coombs love if we we want an NI running back.

He's got a work out some time this week. If that doesn't result in an offer then the Laurent sweepstakes begin. I saw one article valuing him at $150K. I hope if that's true that the Bombers at least show some interest and put in a contract offer. He'd be a big piece on the DL. He won't be a replacement for Doug Brown (no one really could be) but he'd give us some roster flexibility. I think its pretty much a given that the Bombers would/have offered Laurent a ton of money. Whether he would be interested in coming here is the question.

Upload them to Youtube then?

I would prefer if they kept the full seasons. There's a couple games I've wanted to re-watch.

Good for him, I hope he comes back here if he doesn't make it up there.

End of the season bye week is so stupid. If you finish first place that's a lot of time without playing any meaningful games.

I have a feeling you're wrong. You know a safety is a DB, right? Yeah I am well aware of that. You're more likely to see 4 NIs on the OL than 2 at db. That would be the most likely scenario. Hell I'd say its more likely a guy like Jake Thomas steps into a spot rather than two Canadians in the secondary.

With Cauchy, Newman, Sherman and Bucknor do we really need West back?

I love how people discredit every good selection made by Mack. There were tons of people that wanted guys like Sisco and Scott Mitchell picked over Watson and Henoc.

I'm going recent, but I really feel bad we couldn't win a Grey Cup in 2001 for guys like Khari, Milt, Charlie, Brown and Bobby G.

Sask and BC could be in for a bit of a down slide this year.

That's fine by me. I'm still scratching my head as to why we gave up both of Poblah and Etienne though. We need a third starting caliber Canadian receiver given Watson's injury history.

Let him walk. There is zero reason to overpay for a guy like Ford.

Agreed, knowing our luck we'll cut Cauchy the day before the Colts cut Henoc.

It didn't seem like it. Chad Simpson was definitely one, and I was thinking Matthews was another but given our strong interest in bringing him back I'd guess not.

Maurice Price is apparently getting 180K from Cal and I wouldn't be surprised if Dressler gets more than both of these guys when he comes back. I thought it was a B, if we can bring in Ted Laurent that jumps to an A+. Bringing back Matthews would be nice, and we could also use a backup Canadian receiver along with our obvious O-Line issues.

Our O-Line has been crappy enough starting two imports, can we really afford to sit someone like Jarvis Jones in favor of Pencer or Neufeld?

Am i the only one who thinks Ottawa is going to be completely terrible even for an expansion team?

Not a fan of these Thursday home games myself. Kind of strange how our first three games are against the East even though we're back in the West.
