Lost ..well not lost but key to the dline is Nevis and Richardson..they just lock it down and wear out teams interior during games..those guys are 2 beasts!
-
Just think how much better this defense will get with a healthy Bighill patrolling the middle....yikes!
-
Yea Lucky took some late shots..hope he isnt dinged bad..on that one the way he reacted I feared he may have broke collar bone.. That being said we have depth to rest him next week..Slot Matthew's in for him and I bet he plays with a viscious fire and goes off...he knows he needs to now and he has the talent...

Matthew's will play..he makes us better..with Nelson on DI you have Walker out and Matthew's in..and most likely DI Lawler With that receiver depth Lucky can handle returns and be spelled off here and there on offence by Lawler...then when Nelson is ready u have a decision to make -

HAHAHA....they after studies..and money put into studies and design for it...the city kiboshed it for stupid reasons...stupid city...I actually worked on the design for it...was to tie into the pathway we did all along bishop and up kenaston up to the Costco -
I bet he gets reps in some configurations with him replacing Lawler...him and Lucky racing through the flats will open tings wide open for others

More competition for entertainment dollar, ease of watching at home (cable/streams/internet) price point of some seats...something easily changed and I bet you see a huge uptick in sales...aging fan base whom maybe some now can't go like before (regardless of where stadium is) and actually IGF is probably more accessible and handicapped/geriatric friendly than the old dump was...many factors play into decline in attendance...least of which is location. Working in the Civil/Municipal infrastructure and planning field I can tell you that area and the areas to the east and west of the stadium south of Bishop is where all the (well majority) of new development is going, and where the infrastructure and money is being allocated, thats residential and commercial so in time the stadium is going to be center to he majority of the entertainment spending public Also if the restaurants in close proximity were smart they would offer what shuttles like in stadiums in the States when I played...they promo it to pregame there and offer shuttle service to the games...pretty easy and effective way to bring patron's to your establishment that are game attenders.. -

so how is that different then on a good day I had to drive 25-25 minutes to get to the game on a good day...then "hope" to find parking relatively close on a side street to avoid a 15 minute walk. And not sure how you avoided hardly any traffic but what I remember was bumper to bumper...on basically all one lane streets....yet you never heard anyone complain But people complain now, and it's basically the people whom the convenience of location is no longer convenient....can't appease everyone. I have gone several ways from Southdale...used the park and ride and got thee in like 15 minutes...and on way back....never more than 20...25 'I drive also...parked in the economy...took my 15 minutes basically from by the walmart on fermor where i live took me 15 to 20 to get there...have walked from the economy (15 mins) and took the shuttle they offer...(minutes) and to get home the drive usually takes anywhere from 20..to 40 minutes on a bad day...never was it that handy and fast at polo -
That was helmet to helmet..should have been no turnover and a penalty for the hit...by Greenwood who seems to be a chronic offender
-
yeah at worst he goes back to PR...we need to develop guys constantly for injury, and in case we need to replace an older guy with higher SMS hit...tho I'd hate to see Adams go, but isn't he a free agent after this season, and he may command a salary that doesn't work for us next year...so Lawler would be a nice replacement..as opposed from starting from scratch If you watch Lawlers college clips he made unreal catch after unreal catch
-
Walker was my dark horse coming into camp...and watching his route running and smooth speed in and out of cuts and the fact he never dropped a thing confirmed it in my mind he was gonna stick. He has the ability to move at top speed like Lucky, and make moves with the ball at top speed something most guys can't do If teams are sleeping on him expect us to hit him on a deep shot if he gets reps in the offence

I kinda like Sanchez to be honest...

the stadium location is a dumb reason in any context..it was an inconvenient location for me before...and thousands of others in area of city where I live...but we all went....so now if it's a matter of being inconvenient for the St James/Charleswood/polo Park area crowd, and they choose to not go anymore...then they were never true fans. When I lived in Oakland/San Jose areas going to a pro event was usually a good hour..hour and a half venture (one way) on most occasions....so stadium location in a smaller city is a pathetic excuse if you ask me -
yeah disappointing that Matthews wasn't back in...must be taking that extra game precaution..look forward tho to see Walker get some reps with the offence
-
who?

we only need one Canadian starting on defense to fill the ratio requirement..so if Hecht is out it will be Jones in his spot, most likely backed up with Exume and Wright whom I am certain will get on the roster either in Hechts roster spot, or Briggs....likely Briggs spot as I pretty sure Hecht won't miss any time...but if both are out then we need to fill another Canadian spot on roster...so Likely Griffiths comes on as really thats the only National reserve we have not on IR we have unless we dress Eli
-
Hasn't Nichols though not really played in the 4th quarter of 2 games?...the Ottawa one where he didn't slide in time, and most of the 4th vs T.O...so numbers are a bit skewwed You also can't fault a team for starting in good field position...if defense is giving the ball back in good position and your return game is is doing the same..thats a plus in my books...sign of a well rounded team

Yeah how this couldnt have been seen as maybe a recipe for disaster is beyond me...but man what a way to get butts in the seats tho hahaha -
well that explains the release

Thing is...we have beaten 2 undefeated teams...sign of a good team Whipped the hopeless Argo's and it was never in doubt from the 3 minute mark...sign of good team won season opener on the road...sign of good team All the while racking up 30+ points for...1 pick and some very precision like work in the Red Zone...Like what...over 90% efficiency?? That tells me we have more than a capable QB to get us where we need to go...you have to remember basically prior to this year we were a one trick pony at receiver and had to rely on Harris....now...we have weapons that teams have to respect...and still have Harris to contend with...also Nichols looks a lot like 2016/2017 Nichols...where he was not hurt and pulled a lot of games out of the fire for us for a win...and it's pretty obvious from his play last year that he wasn't right all year long.. but this year he appears to be back and has more talent to use....so if he plays smart ball...doesn't try to be a hero and fatten his stats...we will win 9 times out of ten and to have people be down on him after averaging 4 offensive TD's a game so far..throwing 10 TD's to 1 INT....and not really having a game in doubt after the first quarter of the season...well thats just baseless we play Ott/Ham/T.O coming up next 3 game before our Calgary home game and if we play like we have been even with no overall improvement (which we will as season rolls on) we could be looking at a 7-0 record with that home match against CGY....Hamilton doesn't scare me and I think we will handle them rather easily
