  1. And Rogers is pretty terrible in the Customer Service field.
  2. Stempniak is a winger.. he never played center for the Jets, he was a winger.... Of course Stempniak is better than Copp, Copp is a rookie, but a rookie who is actually playing pretty well, do people expect Copp to put up tons of points playing with Peluso and Lowry now? Seriously... His job is to play good defensively, he has been, his job is to win face offs, he has been. Copp has been good. Why compare Stempniak getting first line minutes with NJ to a 4th line center who is actually doing his job night in and night out. Stempniak signed a PTO with NJ also.. he wasn't exactly in high demand... pretty much NJ was the only team that wanted him... Funny how it was NJ when his wife and kids live in the New York area... The guy wasn't going to sign here to play 3rd or 4th line minutes and he's not a top 6 player on the JETS.... he just isn't... He probably wanted more than a 1 year deal too and no way i'd give him that... and seeing as tho he signed a PTO with NJ, every GM in the league wouldn't give him more than a 1 year deal either, hell, 29 teams wouldn't even give him that, NJ didn't even give him that.
  3. Wylie is regarded as one of the best oline coaches in North America, It's not on him, I really think he's a very good coach... I think MB's schemes played a huge role in the Oline being not good, I also think there is a couple issues on the line also, I think Picard sucking big time was an issue, He's done, I think Neufeld was an issue, He can't stay healthy... I think losing a good Tackle in Jace Daniels to injury was an issue... I think with Bryant,Chungh and Goossen and even Jace Daniels, you have a nice group.. Upgrade the one guard position and the 6th Oline position cuz no way it should be Neufled, just 2 injury prone... and probably makes too much money and change the schemes to suit their strengths instead of exposing their weakness, use the run game more... a bunch more actually and you will see the oline actually get better Montreal, it's been said so many times lol but Montreal has this same issue with MB as OC there... the year after he was fired, they gave up less than half the amount of sacks they gave up with him as OC. I really do think the Oline is mostly on the schemes or lack of schemes by MB. We barely ran the damn ball also, actually when we made an effort to run the ball, the sacks didn't really happen cuz it was a dual threat, are they gonna run or are they gonna pass... but 2 many times, we just abandoned the run completely so teams knew what was coming.
  4. Well, that's exactly it... I actually agree that he's perfect for the 4th line... But he shouldn't be playing 3rd line minutes that's for sure. This all goes back to lack of depth.
  5. Trevor Harris or Travis Lulay to SASK for sure... Durant is done.
  6. I really like Michael Moores documentarys, the only problem i have with them tho is Michael Moore. Great documentary movies but man the guy pisses me off .
  7. Wasn't around to see him play but have heard he was a good one, however, i also heard he was a good player with a lot of personal demons.
  8. Well he is playing on the 4th line now. He still has upside. And I think he could do well on the wing with Ehlers and Burmi. Burmi has been much improved since going to 3C. Basically took Lowry's job. Yeah but how much upside? He can't score. He has hands of stone... he's had chance after chance but can't buy a goal... I think last year was somewhat of a fluke for him, he played with Frolik a bit... Frolik made Lowry seem better than he is. Frolik not here anymore so Lowry don't look as good.
  9. I think Semin is done... From what i've been reading, it sounds like effort and desire isn't the issue... it's his lack of speed. Don't think he fits.
  10. Lowry is the only Jet with NO goals all year... He would not help that line at all. Lowry is what you call, a guy who got hyped by Maurice so much that he believed it, it went to his head, he thinks he is better than he is. The guy has ZERO goals.. the only Jet who has ZERO goals. I'll go this far even... I think Lowry would benefit greatly from being sent down to play with the Moose. He just doesn't look the same this year at all, something is wrong there.
  11. I was with Telus for a bit, my lake is about an hour up highway 6..... No service. I switched to MTS... service My sister is on Rogers... she gets service at the lake. MTS and Rogers are pretty much the same... but... like i mentioned, and maybe it's just me, but i feel it's better to support the local companies.
  12. The fully accessible facility holds 33,500 fans, with ability to increase to approximately 40,000 for major events including Grey Cup and other international events or concerts. Well, it is true actually. Just the CFL didn't want Fall Out Boy performing on the field so the attendance was lowered. It can increase to 40,000. If the bombers had a play off game, you could put up those temp stands in the endzone where FOB played and it would be 40,000.
  13. LOL. I wonder if Picard is open to become an assistant to Wylie.. This is actually a pretty good idea... No thanks, I want no part of MB's past regime and that includes Wylie. Hopefully the new OC brings in his own guys for a fresh start and relieves us of all doubt that maybe the poor O-line play wasn't 100% Marcel's fault. It was 99 percent his fault.
  14. Thing is... Thorburn isn't a top 9 player... He just isn't... He'd be a good 4th liner but... the fact that he's playing on the third line tells me we have no depth what so ever or the depth that we do have, Maurice won't play them. Thorburn is not good, he's a 4th liner at best... actually he might even be the 13th forward on most times... I don't mind him, nice guy, tries hard but... he shouldn't be playing in the top 9... he's dragging burmi and ehlers down with him right now. You got 2 skill guys playing with a plug... it just doesn't work.
  15. MTS is good... Think of it this way, support those sons of ******* in Ontario who own the blue jays and hate the CFL or support something more local?
  16. Wow GM/Head Coach and DC... that's a full plate. Bound to fail a little bit.
  17. Good extension. Kid looked good when he finally got his chance. Pretty sure Picard will be released soon. Be funny if they had a video from Picard saying " I have been released from my contract".
  18. People are fooled by Stempniak because he is playing first line minutes and power play minutes on NJ. He wouldn't be doing that here.
  19. Maas ain't happening, he will be the ESKS head coach. Hell, Ottawa didn't even give us permission to speak with him.
  20. Semin on Waivers... probably an upgrade on Thorburn on the third line... Not sure how much of one tho...
  21. Well, funny thing there about the 60's and 70's even 90's and early 2000's Eventually D's all adapt so the O has to also but... there is only so much adapting an O can do... After all, It's basically throw the ball, catch the ball, or run the ball.... there are only so many different options one can come up with to do that. D? Well, again, only so much they can do too, the whole idea behind a D is to make tackles, stop the other team from scoring, you can only do so much... and once a team does something that works well, other teams copy it. It is what it is. Football has evolved over time. All sports have. Maybe except for Baseball and basketball.
  22. I'm not sure how Buck played on the field has any bearing on what type of coach he is. Look at Maas, he wasn't great, look at Brady, again not exactly all star calibre in terms of his play... Crandell, again... Khari even, Was ok but definitely did some dumb things too. Theres a difference between playing and coaching.
  23. Man, part of me feels like Jones is going to be a huge failure in Riderville, the other part says he won't be but... I can't shake this feeling that he's going to fail miserably.. He's being pimped so hard by guys like Lawless and Madani, saying he found all these great players, (i'm not even sure how many of those players he found) and pimping him so much.. that he's just bound to fail. He's a good head coach but i'm not sure if he's a good GM... Is he gonna be Head Coach/Gm/DC? cuz if so, that's a lot on his plate. Riders have lots of problems right now, their biggest is their lack of Canadian talent, I'm not sure that's fixable in 1` or 2 seasons.
  24. O'shea and Lapolice worked together in the past did they not? There is some history there... You don't think Lapo who lives here year round and O'shea who lives here year round don't hang out together? LOL.
  25. I don't mind either of them, It's fine.. Takes a bit getting used 2 but... I guess, It's better than the previous one... The CFL site at least.. I kind of liked the bombers old site better tho.
