Hometown holding complete allowed in this game.

Interception time… let’s go D

Excellent kick coverage this time

Banjo kids keepin it classy with the double 🖕🏽🖕🏽 to the camera…

Woooo! Thought they were calling offside D for sure

Some of the would-be foot soldiers like Patrice Rene and the other Hallett brother just couldn’t stay healthy and were let go. Meanwhile guys like John Rush aren’t 30 yet and are sitting at home.

Elizondo did Harris dirty the same way… put him out there with a bad neck vs the Dark Side in 2021 and of course he gets crushed and out for the next few games 🤦🏻‍♂️

Demski , especially since JC Abbott on turd down declared his 2022 production “unsustainable” 😂🖕🏽

The three guys that stood out most for the GC loss are gone. Leggs, sucked all game, gone. Prukop, handing the ball back to TO, gone. Sayles, brutal whiffed block causing the fg miss, gone. Not as much a coincidence as it seems, honestly.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Demski

Regarding Canadians on d, I thought Redha Kramdi looked pretty good in his reps last year (played fast, brought the lumber) but I believe that was at hb, and no one is taking Nichols or Parker (barring injury) out of those spots. Honestly thought the prospects/scouting were great with Rigmaiden also feeding the pipeline. Was bummed to see him jump ship after the lost 2020 season.

Would also prefer Mccalister. Guy was so promising, just a casualty of a stacked and crowded d-line back then. Doesn’t affect this year’s team per se but wasn’t it Lemon who effectively ended Matt Nichols’ CFL career? Absolutely boneheaded pancake pile on that I believe is a penalty in the NFL.

Would love to see that too! Honestly I think more depends on how far the O has gotten into the playbook during game planning and practice. Everyone on O is back from last year minus Ellingson, and Lawler looks like he never left. Kind of expect both teams to try and set the tone with early with big throws before settling in.

If he’s able to make the team, could be amazing in sets where Richie Hall likes four DE’s on the line.

Dorzon of the Bulging Quads Hands of Stone school of running backs… ouch

Yup Ricky Williams. Super satisfying watching him get shown. 528 yards in 11 games in 2006

Victor Cui is absolutely part of the solution in Edmonton. The problem is their board of geniuses hired Jones and then Cui in a completely ass-backward move 🤦🏻‍♂️

Personally really liked our usual home and away uni’s plus the helmets with the enhanced stripe. Not a huge change just a subtle update to the best uniforms in the league.

Tbh I’m happy Osh Jr gets a chance to experience the culture of a premier CFL locker room. Whatever the armchair scouts have to say, this front office doesn’t do charitable TC invites. Osh Jr has to have -something- to offer other than his name. He worked hard enough to get an invite and now he technically has an opportunity to work hard enough for a roster spot. Whether or not that happens there will be legitimate reasons either way.

Love having Sergio back! Like with any other player the vibe of the organization and the quality of a roster can elevate or drag down a kicker. If Sergio is the pk on coming out of training camp, imho he’ll be confident and way more settled than anytime last year with the Elks.

Desjarlais will look weird in an all-caps jersey. The blue cheese road unis still where it’s at.

Guarantee this team to a man thinks and feels this way. Seriously would not be surprised (but very happy) to see our guys rip the league a new one next season. Go Blue!

The deliciousness of this prospect can’t be overstated… Cofaj re-signed aaaaand bigger cap hit because everyone else refuses to call the toilet bowl home field?! The level of schadenfreude of this is mind blowing!

3DN mentions their rehabs are lengthy, and especially Rene’s injury history is bad. Releasing them could also be part of the process for re-signing Darby Jr. and Desmond Lawrence
