Fatty Liver

He's obviously had too much.

Plus, once the other CFL teams realize he's a dangerous threat, they'll treat him as they do Rainey and Banks and block the exits.

He also returned a kick-off for a TD in the pre-season although that one may have been cancelled by a penalty. That's two long ones in 6 games and I bet he gets a few more this season if he stays healthy.

What happened to IC Khari? This is usually his domain.

Seriously, they should be able to come up with some kind of scan or use density or fluid testing to detect these damaged cells unobtrusively for diagnosis. I think within 10 years this will be a done deal, the problem so far is that this is an area of medical research that has been abused and neglected as the movie about concussions showed.

What doesn't make sense to me is using these challenges so early in the game, Dickenson seems to want to get them out of the way instead of using them strategically. Last W.E. didn't he use a challenge on the first play of the game?

I don't hate the fly-sweep at all and they have worked fairly well this year but you have to think the Als. are going to be looking for that play tonight and with Cox and Hebert they should be able to cut Dressler down before he turns up field. Max. usage 2-3 times.

That'll work until they stuff Harris for 2 yard gains multiple times, then what? They'll also be looking for the fly-sweep this game, so that play will be good for a few losses. This would be an excellent opportunity to dress Flanders and throw something completely new at them.

Unless his first name is Mervin, Walker isn't a Natl..

I can buy this, O'Shea is defensive to an extraordinary degree, some would even say he's combative....but not me.

Sure, but hopefully the science will advance to the point that they can identify the damage without an autopsy. Maybe MOS could volunteer.

This discussion gets rehashed every couple of months and I believe it's been pointed out that the rate of CTE is prevalent in rugby players as well. It's not just the direct hits to the head but also the abrupt stopping action that causes the brain to slosh around like jello in a bowl that cause the damage. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/11857548/Rugby-uncovered-Game-still-has-head-in-sand-over-the-risks-of-brain-damage.html

If you can't spot the preppy D.B.'s......

I think advanced helmet technology could improve brain protection to some extent but I don't believe it could reduce it significantly from a physics perspective unless players agree to have foam injected into their brain cavities......you never know.

There's a lot, a lot, a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot more to come.

Agreed, teams that fail to establish the running game simply lose more often than not.

You have a point but the obvious side effect will be parents no longer signing little Johnny up to play Pop Warner football once the risks are widely known to the general public. I know I wouldn't do it. The after-effects of a concussion is the brain's warning that you did something really stupid and you shouldn't do it again, not something to be ignored and repeated.

BC were keying on Harris and met him in the backfield, running on first down with no gain is a big part of the reason they struggled in the 4th Q.

I think O'Shea's strength lies in the locker room but without Walters input on personnel decisions, he may have been axed at the end of last year. If the Bombers can't match last years record of 11/7 this year or the next the questions will rise again in two years time.

Wally platooned Harris with Logan for a couple of years in BC and I don't think Harris liked that situation very much as he wants to be "the guy". Hard to say how he would feel about being platooned with Flanders now.

He looked like that in 2015 for a period as well, when the Esks. beat them a few times on their way to the cup.

It is a mystery.

...and hands as cold as ice.

You forgot Jake's intercept that Knox scored on.
