  1. Pretty weak Line up tonight for the jets. Lowry Burmi Copp Armia and that's about it
  2. Has to be 2 kick returns. Not a punt and kick off
  3. Or how much of what that lawyer said was true.
  4. I think for the most part they are pretty scripted, but... i think some guys can go out and freelance for sure, at times, if you sit close enough or the mic is in the wrong spot, you can hear guys calling spots.
  5. I don't think Rollins is irresponsible at all, the guy is a pro, he's legit... been wrestling for years... has a reputation of being a very good worker.. I just think at times, sometimes things happen, you have no control over them... it is what it is, Sting is 56 and probably shouldn't be taking certain types of bumps. Rollins ain't at fault at all, it's just it happens. You go back in time and look at some of the injuries that have happened to guys in the ring, Droz got paralyzed on a running power bomb by Dlo Brown, never once blamed DLO at all I guess, what it comes down too, is it takes 2 to make it work... and i thought Sting injured himself more when he was put through the table.
  6. we aren't the only team who has beaten SASK twice tho.
  7. The TSN guys also push guys like Walker and Grigsby as being these amazing running backs... so for real, i wouldn't really take what the TSN guys say so seriously. It's almost at the point where if the TSN guys are praising someone, it means that guy isn't very good. I didn't really hear the TSN guys praising Smith so much, just one and he's a rider prider. I don't know if he was progressing or not but i do know that there have been tons of QB's like smith in this league who have come and gone over the years.
  8. Nah, they really do mean very little to the majority of the players, yeah to 3 or 4 guys it means a spot on the team or not, to those guys it's important but to the guys who know they will be on the game 1 roster, it just a way to get off some rust.... Pav even said that he doesn't get excited to play these games cuz they mean nothing. Sure to guys like Ehlers,Petan,Morrissey,Armia,Lemieux,Copp they mean something but to the rest... not so much. I don't think 1 bad game and your dreams of making the Jets could be over applies here really, Maurice even said after the game he hasn't formed an opinion on any of the young guys yet really.. It's just 1 game man, a game that means very very little to most guys on the roster. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch the game tonight just like i did last night but... at the same time, unlike a regular season or playoff game, it doesn't really matter to me if i miss 5 or 10 minutes of it.
  9. Agreed that with Willy we are a better team. Gonna add tho, I think getting rid of MB and his schemes would be a very good step in the right direction. Give Willy an OC who doesn't suck and who doesn't leave him back there to get killed and you will see a huge difference. I don't think our OLINE is as awful as they are made out to be, I think a lot of that is on the OC. Stanley Bryant hasn't been awful but he hasn't been great either, it's not like the guy just forgot to play football, it's the blocking schemes that are making him look average. He's a damn good player, an all star in this league for years, he comes here and he looks kind of not as good.. Is that on Bryant or is it on the OC? You look at the OLINE last year and people thought ok January sucked,Morley sucked, Greaves sucked... well all 3 are now gone but the OLINE still isn't that great... I don't think it's on the players as much as it is on the schemes they are being asked to run by the OC. Fire MB and this team is better. They do have some holes but the biggest is that A Hole MB.
  10. Totally agree 100 percent. Not much more to add than that.
  11. I don't know about that exactly. Game 1 of pre-season means very little... as does game 2 3 4 really... maybe even 5. Games 6 and 7 you might start to see what the roster will actually look like.
  12. Can't comment until after tonight's game. Got to see Ladd Lowry little first but call it a hunch. . I don't think it lasts
  13. It's in the cba. Something about if you play on the road you get a travel day and a day off. Not sure exactly but it's similar to that. So Monday be travel. Tuesday be day off.
  14. Thorburn looked awful. Playing those 2 plugs with petan is a crime to nic. Would love to see what petan could do with skilled players
  15. Ehlers Scheif Wheeler Perreault scheif wheeler One of those 2 I think stafford is just too slow to keep up.
  16. I'll just add this... I don't like stafford with Scheifs and Wheeler
  17. You do realize a lot of our D players are on special teams right? Leggett and the sorts
  18. So experts and former pro coaches... what should a practice look like? And unless you have been... perhaps commenting on them is pointless. I've come to the conclusion that sometimes people see what they want to see. Even if what's happening in front of them is the opposite
  19. I got blocked by lawless on twitter for calling him gary Walrus. Guy has no sense of humor
  20. Just to Hamilton and Calgary
  21. Thoughts from me Scheif Ehlers Petan Lemieux all looked pretty good. Give Petan line mates other than 2 scrubs and this game ends in regulation. Not sure I liked the Perreault Burmi Ehlers line.... lots of skill but maybe too fancy. Ehlers looked legit tho. Pav was solid but his positioning is still a problem. Helle was solid. Like lundquist really.. big and positionaly strong. 3 on 3 was crazy. I'd have put petan and ehlers out there together just once. Not surprised stafford was on the ice for the goal. Really annoys me that a guy like thorburn is gonna take a spot away from one or 2 of petan armia and Lemieux. Raffl looked ok but basically it was cuz petan made him look good. 29 is pretty old.
  22. Justin Cole has been pretty good
  23. Agreed. And it's seriously a dumb question to ask.
  24. It's pre season. Who cares what the lines and pairs are.
  25. Ya. Read the twitter and it makes lots of sense
