Fatty Liver

So they've removed Renaud, so I guess he's headed back to the PR.

I don't know who is wearing 92 but it sure isn't the same Drake Nevis that played for the Tiger Cats in 2015 as that man was an unstoppable beast. He may be clogging up the middle but he certainly isn't getting great penetration and looks to be in poor athletic condition as both Poop and Thomas are taking more reps. than he is. I may be mistaken but I don't believe he was brought in as a nose guard. Trying to find info. on his weight gain over the years as that may be the culprit but haven't found anything so far. As Poop said in his interview yesterday, in the CFL an interior D-lineman can not be one dimensional, he must run stop but he also needs to contribute to pressuring the QB. I think if Nevis does not improve by years end there will be S.M.S. savings to be had with a cheaper replacement next year. Sad because I was a big fan of his acquisition.

I'm pretty sure Conteh was on the PR at one point.

Good point but if any of these key players are injured Roc is now the #1 replacement.

Nichols may never be a thoroughbred but he's a darn good mudder. I believe if the D can keep the Bombers in the game Nichols can find a way to beat any team.

Can't believe Roc stole Johnson's job, no way. I could understand Walker and Alexander upgrading the over-all talent of the D-backfield but not Roc. He's had one decent game and if it wasn't for the rule change limiting challenges he may have incurred two more costly P.I. penalties last game. Now if Bruce lost his job to Walker fair and square I can see that. Walker looks to be a dynamo play-maker and should help out against the running game, an area that neither Johnson or Heath are very proficient. LB crew is a downgrade this year from last, hope to god the D-backs don't grade weaker as well as it will render the improved performance of the offence and D-line null and void if they can't show that they are a better over-all team than last year. This defence might hold their own against weaker sisters but time will tell if thy are good enough to contain the top offences in the league.

Lapo needs to start using Normand a little more in pass protection as Edm. does with McCarty, most of the sacks have come with multiple blitzers coming and only Harris in the backfield.

Kelly was a good O.C./assistant coach under Cal Murphy, obviously he didn't have the personal skills or the acumen to handle the big job.

As long as Dressler is out, Coates gets the roster spot to hold for Medlock. JFG is doing his job so unless injured I doubt we will see any of Wolitarsky this year.

Hurl was two years ago, can't remember how it transpired but he may have started once Wild was injured.

Briggs is back, removing Santos Knox from the lineup will allow them to dress Flanders when Dressler returns.

It would have been absolutely perfect if Jones threw his only challenge flag on the play. This play from a few years back is still my all time Rider favourite.

It amazes me that Loffler has stayed healthy as long as he has, if they had him in the box all the time that might not be the case. I think once Wild comes back Hurl will be adequate as long as Leggett is on the other side.

Not to complain but my tear bucket is growing so low, I'm thinking of donating it to some needy Rider fan who can put it to good use.

The Bombers have never beaten Collaros so it's time to start another new trend.

You forget that in Reilly's first two years in Edm. they were as bad or almost as bad as the Bombers so it hasn't been continuous.

Added a couple of years ago to make the game more exciting, apparently it works.

That was last years fool, they have a new one in town now.

I don't know about that, nothing worse then expecting them to perform well and they don't.

Sounds good but why not do this seamlessly and avoid time delaying reviews? As the goal is to turn over only egregious errors the C.C. should be able to spot those within 10-15 secs. get in the refs. ear and keep play moving.

I like the parabolic mikes they use for the Argo games to enhance crowd noise as they pick up a lot of unfiltered sounds off the field but probably not viable in any other stadium due to "real" crowd noise.

Look for Popp to go QB shopping soon.

Ray looked like Willy there and now he's injured.

So....TSN is not going to show us P.I. penalty replays anymore?

Apparently it's fumble ball in T.O. tonight.
