Desjardins should be happy to dump Hank's huge contract, especially If he turns into a club-house *****. He may play hardball initially and try and steal Natls. but that contract is just too much of a burden to carry forth especially when he has to retain Harris and his receiving core. Depending on the quality of the other backups, if Desjardins can't move Burris this season he may just cut him before next.
Strange thing is O'Shea had all off-season to sit and think about this and learn from his mistakes. Yet he comes back to work in the spring tied to the same erroneous convictions that are likely to cost him the biggest job of his life. He preaches coaching and learning from mistakes every week but doesn't seem to follow that mantra himself.
Question is why doesn't Willy trust his blocking? He's taking no more hits this year than any of the other QB's in the league. The O-line isn't great but they seem to now be about the league average in protection. No reason for Willy to be shell-shocked this early in the season and in reality Reilly absorbed the more brutal hits last night of the two.
Willy is averaging about one long completion per game, he just does not seem to have the accuracy or the vision to make those plays work, they're all hope and a prayer.
I suppose that diminishes their role in the pass rush which might explain why Hall sticks with his scheme. I'd rather see the LB blitz than the Safety.
I really don't know if it's possible, it's a kin to turning back time. Gone are the days the Argos used to draw 45,000 to a game in Exhibition Stadium. It's a big town that likes to focus on the big fish, even if viewed remotely. If there was a way to turn the water-cooler talk back to the CFL that would be a step in the right direction but how do you do that?
