BC is gonna take this. Riders aren’t going to play clean for 4 quarters.

Butler not looking like he did in the first few games either

Its a minor thing, but I think it speaks to something larger. Dickenson does not feel like he can take Faj out of the game. “I’d have a fight in my hands if I tried to bench him”. The guy is self-admittedly not in charge.

For all his complaints, etc… Why the hell would he doing QB sneaks?

Seems like all the key guys are back.

The actual media doesn't cover the league properly, so fans have to fill the void to create content. The Athletic doesn't even have a CFL section anymore. The only reason I originally subscribed was for Penton's insiders article. Some have even developed contacts over time. I don't love all of them, but I mostly appreciate the intent.

Well, Demki back. Could we see McCrae used more in the run game tomorrow? It was tough. The game they started using him like they should have been is the one he got injured in. Let's hope it continues right where he left off.

What the...?!? Thompson out too???? What is happening this year?! Did Brady get everyone on the vegan diet?

Holy smokes, still no Ellingson though? Gosh darnit.

That is....incredibly good news.

Where'd you hear that? Has he started practicing?

We also needed better coordinators.

I see Brady for what he's been asked to do....he's not doing it well. To that end, I would like to see Johnny do more of his thing. Especially against Calgary.

Agreed.

Ok, so, Willie Jefferson breaks the 50/50 mark (50 sacks, 50 pass knock downs). I'm sure the article was shared already - but I'll link it below. One line stood out to me: Jefferson has three sacks, 12 tackles, a Pick-6 and a league-leading seven pass knockdowns this season. And it could be argued the four-time CFL All-Star – and the league’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player – might be having his best season. I was personally feeling Jefferson wasn't having that great of a season. It has been picking up a bit, but I didn't see him causing much pressure early. What say the mob? https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/07/27/jefferson-first-player-in-league-history-to-hit-50-50-mark/

Maybe not walking into a starting job, but there's plenty of opportunities to jump into one soon. Literally every team except for us, BC, and Calgary would have tried their #2 if they had one - or already has.

But they never played. Strev will absolutely return to the CFL when his prospects have dried up. I don't think he's going to return to Winnipeg. I know a few blue-gogglers like to talk about all this cap space we're saving for him, but why would he sign a 2-year deal to back up Zach when he could get a better opportunity tp start elsewhere?

Worst case, you could throw Johnny outside. I don't know why we're forcing a square peg in a round hole when it come to the run game.

At this point - warm body with experience in our system is pretty good.

I doubt they're going to make any moves for financial reasons. When Demski/Alexander/etc are ready, they're going to be on the field.

Doesn't bother me like it did with Roberts, but congrats Andrew. My pre-season hope was a third straight title over the Argos in the Grey Cup. He might drag them there, yet.

I trust MOS to stay, just exploring the thought experiment.

Assuming that Younger didn't leave with him to be his DC.

My buddies and I were talking pre-season about how we need at least a six-peat. A five-peat puts us ahead of Edmonton's total, but a six-peat makes puts us ahead of the Warren Moon led dynasty of the 80's.

Call it the Geroy Simon curse. Arland Bruce curse makes more sense.
