Booch

why obviously?

Harris leadership may be missed...mayyyy.....as we have some bigtime leaders already there before him...and while he was here, and they still here....so really I see it as a non issue Production wise....he missed half the games...and we were basically unbeaten...we have 2 highly motivated younger guys...in better shape/condition...one of whom is a fellow Winnipegger who most likely has a huge chip on his shoulder now to prove he is the heir apparent, and behind this oline, and scheme and returning receivers....plus Ellingson...they just have to play their game and limit their errors...just like last yr....again...we will be fine, and prob better than last year as we actually have better QB depth, and I bet Ellingson and Schoen (and whoever else gets reps) will out produce what Lawler/Adams gave us last year, and prob this yr too for their respective teams....no slight against them as they were key guys for us, and great players but it's not crippling us by any stretch of the imagination Is Desjarlais better than Gray, and a loss...for sure...But Gray is a more than capable starter, we were just very fortunate that Desjarlais was the stud he was...Gray could start on any team in the league...could have last year and been top2..or 3 for them...factor in he has started before...with all the guys returning, we will hit the ground running and not having to have a gel period like pretty much every team in our division

Yeah there are a couple options down south

He doesn't need the reps...he will be fine...I sure he got the timing down going against the best defense in league day in and day out

like I mentioned...have a bud in B.C and he said he has never seen so much marketing and the Lions being so visible there....like in 20 yrs....good signs coming from out west....and I not worried about Mtl...they have a good owner there now....they just need to win...they win and it's fashionable to be there again...T.O....who effing cares...move them elsewhere in S. Ontario where they would

can't argue that he did a lot here...was key to the success and where the team still is today, but he did kind of let his ego get in the way in the off-season and essentially was putting himself ahead of the team with his lil hissy fit...which is too bad. He will still be, and still is a tea legend here, and this will pass, but I think the writing was clearly on the wall, and if this yr he is in and out of the lineup, and not what he was a a feature back it won't look good on him He should have took the reduced role, the reduced pay and been the mentor and situational guy for us, and if he escaped the season injury free, and fresh for playoffs...he coulda beasted out and truly went out on top with an unreal playoff performance capped with a 3peat

thinking we handle them rather easily soley due to cohesion and the fact we basically hitting ground running...everyone on offence...save for a rook receiver was here last yr on offence, heck basically here since 2019 cup and Ellingson is a vet, knows the league...knows his QB...same on defence...bulk of the team is back..Glass is a vet and we faired quite well with 2 raw rookies last yr....team being pumped....crazy crowd noise....Ottawa will be in very tough

they have upper bowl open...lower bowl is only 1 teir...look at the seating plan...2 tiers

I was gonna say u heard nothing about him or how he was doing...wouldn't that be funny if they eventually cut him free....he'd be in Ottawa next lol

thats what I here for haha

butts in seats.....do what ya gotta do to introduce the game to possible new fans....more teams should be doing this...helloo MLSE DOUCHBAGS isnt it post game?

maybe things are turning around in B.C....hopefully they trounce Jones and give that crowd a reason to come back

I think he just has to play within himself and not try to do too much...come up and clean up the garbage so to speak....and be smart....

still....annoying as all hell

Bombers. T.O Stamps. Ham Riders. Mtl B.C. Ott Elks

Standback

Yeah...if a player can't cut it on some of those rosters... would never have a chance here

Yeah...don't see anyone of note that I would take...and teams new recruits have no clue about so no sense even considering. Only ones I would consider is Bray or Cunningham just to have a vet depth piece in case of injury and one of our PR guys isn't producing or ready...other than that save our sheckles for a legit FA returnee

I bet Ellingson is in the top 3 in recieving this yr...I also bet Lawler isnt

Well ..with Leggio getting chance to do all 3...allows us that extra skilled player DI...so can see either McRae or an additional receiver on the roster...keeping Harrison and Agudosi over the rest lends me to believe they want that tall big bodied guy to go up and get the ball with the hash mark alignment..and makes total sense

Yeah totally forgot about her...and agree...they should reboot what she did..

Sadly I I know....I should tell Chris to look into it...I bet he would love something like that...do them all pre-recorded when they able too...even to have him remote talking with the panel on game nights would be a total score...

They hardly market...don't do.anythng obaove and beyond paying the hydro bill...absentee basically... Too bad too cause they have an actual good broadcast/radio team...they even live streamed the Hamilton preseason game in Guelph and it wasn't bad at all

Dunnigan and walby...laughs for days....actual real insight and both are good at analyzing things...and relating to it The CFL should have those 2 do a weekly 30 min show...interviews with players on football and non football stuff...some on location stuff where the player spends off season...stuff like that the engage fans of all walks

Actually goofy rod black would prob be a good host...for all his odd and sometimes out to lunch comments and totally missing things...I think if he was to just moderate the group they'd be more on point Walby woukd be a great guy on the panel...or doing a weekly segment of some kind...
