Now that we have a kicker....schmoes will test us but they're beatable... We just about had them last year but the kicker went a.w.o.l....I think we're getting a better deal than last year but the first part of the season is really going to show what we're made of...All in all not that bad.

Isn't that the reason we signed Lohcard in fa...Nice looking back with potential and Harris' back-up in leo land..???

It was almost a certainty that we'd be going in a dif. direction from these two...Maybe they can catch on somewhere else???

....True....forgot he was from the left coast but played in Cal....In any case both teams Cal.and Leos will probably have their sights set on him in the future, because of their relationship to Chungh....AND yes Mike it's a shame there isn't something in place to protect our valued draft pics..

How can anyone be critical of Chunghs' play ...The guy is a rising star in this league and has all- star written all over him...The only thing I'm concerned about Chungh is that he'll head off to 'greener pastures' (nfl) where the benjamins really do make it greener...I also have this bad feeling of him wanting to head home to Cal. (ala Labatte)....I hope we don't make the same mistake with this guy as we did with Brendan and have him wander off...Get him extended Walters ...a smart thing to do.

Never really returned to his great play of a couple of years ago..Tough to see him go but it's doubtful he was going to make our line-up this year .. The injury bug gets another one...

I think there's a huge differing opinion on who played who...Henoc walked away with a ton of cash for doing literally nothing and his agent got paid off for arranging the grand tour...My opinion is Popp pooped his pants on that whole deal and flushed a bunch of cash...Cripes if Walters would have pulled off a deal like that the heavens would've come crashing down around here..

....The way Henoc and his agent operate is a little suspect..You know the guy wants to play in the nfl more than anything else, and his agent is most likely making it certain he doesn't pass that up...They'll go scrounging around for another deal and try to sucker some one else into a bonus and a one year deal...I hope the hell it isn't us...I don't like the smell of this agent and it's making Henoc look very mercenary, as someone has mentioned...I hope we pass on him and wish him well in his future endeavours.

Now that fa is waning...next up,and early next week, is the release of the 16'schedule...I hope we get a break this year and we get a better allocation of bye weeks..The last two years have not been kind in that respect and we deserve a better deal as far as short turnaround weeks...Someone mentioned that we had the most of any club last year as far as games being scheduled with 4 day breaks...May seem trivial to some but it can have a great bearing on the season and success...Get it right schedule makers. Looking forward to next week.

I agree on Shologan....vastly under rated...Riders DID NOT want to see him go back east in the Ottawa purge but they foolishly let him go...He's back west now and ready to do his thing and we're the benefactor...I wonder too if he thought that the riders didn't do everything possible to keep him in Sask. and that figured in where he signed...I know they wanted him back 'bigtime' and it was his turn to give THEM the finger...Any way works for us, and I hope he gets extra nasty when he plays his old team to the west..

Noted he made a point of mentioning our later pics, but never mentioned the guy we got Waggoner...Where is he fitting in on D or is he just chopped liver...I think this kid comes into his own and is a possible at safety...Maybe I'm just hoping but c'mon the guy is a talent and we gave up a first rounder for him and he's Canadian..He deserves a mention..

Not shopping but trading...How about Richards for Demski and make both guys happy...If Walters could pull that off I'd be a happy Pegger.

If the opposition is content on blitzing us every second play, the cure is dumping it off to Harris and let him do his thing...He was quite successful for B.C. at taking pressure off of the qb. and if defenders give him a crack to slip through.....bye bye...A part of our game missing for a long time and executing it properly.

Good news for them as the riders are sure taking them to the cleaners...coaching and player wise...I thought Jones would push for him but rumours are they didn't see I to eye..

Why is Huff and puff dissing our gm...Seems odd for another teams management to go down that road..Did we start pointing the finger and 'yell' nepotism when he brought his son into the organization...I think Huff better pull in his horns before others start calling him out..Fair ball if he wants to start throwing crap..

I wonder if Demski is looking over his shoulder homeward....Now wouldn't that be a nice homecoming for all...

nHuff and puff says we're bad dudes for signing free agents we needed to improve???Get over it ..Says we didn't sign any of ours but went after everyone elses...Was he talking about the riders or us???Also says he prefers to sign his own guys first...Guess he's still trying to contact Simpson and Raymond and it was holding him back in fa...What a joker..

IF Smith can stay healthy,he's a little gem....Dressler,Denmark,Smith....heh heh...good luck to the opposition trying to track those little buggers...Gonna be fun to watch.

and a very warm welcome you shall have Andrew....I know we'll be definitely be in the hunt for a playoff spot with your acquisition.

.....AND Harris will sign here....

Re-sign Buff.....adios Ladd for Hamonic ....possibly others involved is my guess...Something has to break soon to fix this train wreck of a season.

Medlock is by far a superior kicker to anyone we have had on our roster lately...period...He's available...you go after him...If we are fortunate enough to sign him our kicking woes have ended...Business decision and a good one...simple as that.

....They didn't give the name 'fox' to Grant for nothing...As far as our talent in those days, compared to the nfl, Leo Lewis was a player Bud always referenced as one that could have suited up down there anytime, but preferred playing in the Peg...Yes things sure have changed.

I can see us packaging our 2 pics for a proven....Senseless moving up so that 's most likely what we'll do...Sure like the sounds of Vaillancourt but he'll likely be a pick that someone sits on, waiting for his nfl try out to end...I guess things could change, IF.. a big if , we could pick up Bourke in fa...He'd be a short time solution for our o line but something tells me he'll re-up with the Als.....Someone could offer him a lot more than Popp, but he's not a long time solution even if he decides to pull the pin in Mont.

So this is a package deal...lol..We 'might see Cappiciotti here....doubters on Jovon...Why does there seem to be a lot of players heading out of Ottawa after the big success of last year...Are they following the lead of their vaunted oc...
