This is stupid. The ball was in the air for a total of 6 feet. Not a single person, not even Legghio himself, could tell you what the result of that kick would have been. Anyone saying otherwise is 100% biased. Seriously....it was left it was low...you got that from the 3 yards it travelled, no angle for context whatsoever, and no idea what the wind was doing? It may have missed....it may have gone in....but to say that Liegghio was to blame for us not getting 3 points is irrational. The ball was knocked down behind the LOS. If you are going to make an argument against Legs as our K then at least use a play where his kick wasn't blocked as your proof of concept.

On the open market, and knowing that Montreal could not give Fajardo any up front money, I would not discount the very real possibility that Montreal might make a move on Evans if he hit the open market and just send CoFaj packing. They have zero dollars tied up in him right now, and won't until he plays for them. For that reason, I think that Evans's rights are far more valuable than a 4th rounder. Hammy isn't giving Toronto a QB for less than a 1st rounder imo.

Who says they will give him a playbook? However, if he reports to camp he is due a bonus so they can release him on the eve of TC if TO is unwilling to pay the king's ransom Hammy will be asking.

Or maybe Evans renegotiates his contract in Hamilton to stick around.

Very slight favorites even with MBT. Now you are fighting for your playoff lives without him. I'm sure that the Argos first round pick this year will have him driving up the QEW sooner than TC. However, Evans is still a big downgrade. Hamilton has to be considered the heavy favorite in the East now.

I'm not denying that he sucked in the Grey Cup. His punting was an abomination. I just think it is unfair and unrealistic to blame a kicker because his kick was blocked. He did not lose us that game....at least not by himself that's for sure.

Bane is 5'9 - 180. Fast for sure, but the knock on him is he is easily taken off his route if a DB plays him physical at the line. Maybe he gets better at it, but they had the same guy in Moore really, only Moore was a more polished receiver. Bane needs to be seriously coached up, and it's why he played his way OUT of Calgary's lineup. My take on the RIders is that they still only possess 2 OL that are starting calibre players, and both of those are well below league average. They have no OTs to speak of, and Ferland is not starting calibre in this league. Their receiving corps is the worst in the league by A LOT, and their QB is a guy who has demonstrated he is not very capable when teams pressure him. On defence, they have lost one half of a good LBer duo, and their DL and secondary look average at best. This is a last place recipe. Based on how many guys the Riders put offers on and were rejected by, the people who want to go to the Gap this year are a very small minority. JOD swung and missed a crap load in FA this year. A lot of players reportedly took less money to go elsewhere. Imagine how much better the RIders look if they get Couture, Desjarlais, and Figueroa for instance and that is just 3 of many that took less money elsewhere.

Judging by earlier kicks starting left was what he needed to do in that wind. The attempt did look low, but that is not uncommon for kickers to do on windy days either. We have zero idea whether his kick was good or not because an opposing player was able to get through the line almost unblocked and knock that kick down. Putting that on the kicker is wholly unfair. You could gauge that from the 6 feet of distance that kick travelled and from a TV angle that wasn't straight away. Wow...you should be working for NASA. Bad memory or memory bias? Food for thought.

Dan Clark is a piece of duct tape away from his knees falling off. Couldn't run it back with him, he is toast. Everyone else worth a snot said hell no. On Blake, it's not so much the fact that they signed his ancient ass, it's where it looks like they are playing him...OT. Last year he ranked last in the league, behind Sasks OTs even, in pressures allowed per game. He is a pylon at OT. He was serviceable at OG but doesn't represent much of an upgrade at this point of his career over Johnson.

I guess 30% of the cardboard cutouts of fans were misplaced? Yes that's true on a normal team, but on a team that chooses to play without an OL a mobile QB can at least extend a few plays. Harris will be ground into dog meat by game 3.

Here is the thing, Harris is 37 years old. At this stage of his career he has to get a healthy portion of his money up front because he fully realizes that he is likely to start missing significant time with miscellaneous injuries he could have played through when younger. When you are an ancient QB, you want a good % of your cash up front. Montreal could not offer any player up front cash. Therefore, Harris had one option...that's it....and he still managed to milk JOD out of 500k. Too funny.

More than likely....and if he wouldn't have said it they would have ordered the Regina media to overdub it in.

Just an awful offseason that fixed nothing for them. They are even worse at receiver, the OL is stlll hot garbage as adding Blake at OT is an awful move and Godber is a below average C, lost Sankey, got Harris an immobile QB that panics and throw interceptions under pressure....I'm just not seeing the improvement at all. Nor should they have. Yea....what a load of BS. Harris went to the highest bidder, as is his right. Not sure why he is trying this dream franchise bit now. Paycheque might bounce....team might fold...CoFaj is my QB....but hey...at least it's not the RIders.

Not me. I will probably get raked over the coals for this but I think Jeffcoat is a guy we should have moved on from. He just is in the tub way too much. I would hope it is more than that because last year Jeffcoat was 180k, and he most certainly should not have gotten a raise.

Mike actually appreciates the "ya buts" as he is fully aware that he is not always right, and is willing not to dig in like a donkey even if someone makes a valid point in rebuttal to his opinion. Mike does not offer his opinion as an absolute. Valid points definitely, no one has denied that, but added context or a "ya but" as you put it, can actually further the conversation if taken properly and without obstinance. Definitely a run stopping DT is necessary in our defensive scheme that often takes the MLB and WIL into coverage. Let's not forget about cheques bouncing and players having to get home on their own dime when the league pulls the pin midseason.

XFL contracts are signed for two years, with the unwritten expectation that the league will fold by the end of year one. lmao

Biggie looked done how exactly? Because he didn't have 100 tackles? I would suggest you look at his usage last year. He was playing an almost hybrid MLB/S role. Not to mention that Richie Hall's defence always takes a pass elimination first priority that quite often gets us gashed against the run. I will say it before, and I will say it again, in the CFL if all you have on offence is the run you aren't going to win many games. Doesn't matter if you do it successfully. We could give up 100 yards rushing every game for all I care, as long as we keep teams to 250 yards or less passing. In this scenario, we will win most if not all of those games. It is why Biggie is dropped into coverage a ton by Hall. When you are in coverage you aren't racking up tackles. It's why I found it laughable when people were suggesting that Sankey was a better MLB than Biggie and people got hot at me for saying they were dead wrong about that. Sankey was a one trick pony, and lacked the overall skills needed for his position but if you pair him with an all star WIL he can be effective. The GMs around the league seem to agree with my assessment and now he will take that skill to the XFL.

I am sure he cherishes your support.

They are not more injury prone per se but injury severity and time loss absolutely go up. With proper care and conditioning of the body a player in his 30's can remain as healthy as a younger player. However, the contact injuries will keep a guy out longer in his 30's as the same injury to a guy in his 20s and wear and tear can worsen the severity of the non contact injuries. However, I might add that the 32 year old bench mark used to be when it was considered time to find replacements ASAP, and that is no longer the case in pro sports. That goal post has moved to around 35 in the last decade due to advanced nutrition and conditioning programs becoming the norm. Of course, you also have positions where age is less of a factor such as OL, and QB. The most dramatic drop off comes in your speed and stamina at your mid 30s. Strength is still there until your late 30's. This is why you see many OL still playing at a high level 35+.

Well then maybe you should stop because it's already making you look like a turd.

It's football forum etiquette that when VISITING an opposing team's forum you show some damn decorum. Let him talk **** at his own team's forum. I am glad the Bombers defend home turf better than you do.

I like Bluto over the years, but yea...since the Grey Cup he has been acting like a real donkey on here and needs to grow up or leave.

They schemed it up that way. Brilliant coaching by Dinwiddie. The old rope a dope.

Don't you have your own forum to talk Argos? I almost cracked up when I wrote that...lmao. He's not adding anything of value today though.

That too. Psychologically. losing that 2001 Grey Cup probably did the most damage...not age or anything else.
