Back to Back Champs vs Hillbillies early talk

[Nolby]

Always the highlight of the regular season calendar, hope some of the boys come back healthy, Sask got some motivation after last night and I can't wait for us to crush their souls once again.

[Geebrr]

The amount of pride they took out of narrowly beating a team using their 3rd string QB was adorable 

[Booch]

Yeah...false sense if being good...haha...will be funny to see their cockiness pre game...then get a good lesson taught 

[JuranBoldenRules]

Our special teams cover and run D need to learn a lot from the Calgary game.

[rebusrankin]

I see us being able to get constant pressure on their OL. Hopefully it leads to beaucoup sacks and some terrible throws by Fajardo that get picked. 

[wbbfan]

Hope we get a couple guys healthy and really put the boots to the riders. 

[Booch]

We already in the Vajardos head anyway...he will be running around in panic mode all game...and it will be funny

I don’t think he will finish the game that’s for sure. He had more than he could handle vs us when he was healthy. On a bad leg it’s gonna be ugly for him. 

[WinnipegGordo]

Hopefully they dress an extra dlineman for the game. Easy to do by just taking out Machino. 

I also hope Grant is back so there's some semblance of a return game. Harrison would come off for him.

[Booch]

Parker looked fine on the kick returns...and we have other options on punt return...not sure why we chose Taylor...he does have experience and did it before he joined us...so can see why 

[Super Duper Negatron]

I dont feel like we have been getting the same push from the D line this season as last. I bet Fajardo has more time than we think.

Definitely missing a true nose tackle like we had with Nevis and Stove.  The DE’s aren’t quite as free to pin their ears back as in years past.

Our interior of the DL isn't as good as it was without Stove. We need to find someone who can cause havoc inside like he did. 

[Bubba Zanetti]

Yup. Had a feeling Stove was going to end up being the biggest offseason loss.

Ford or Demski.

We have no skill guys on PR.  Could bite us this week depending on how injury list plays out.

If he signed a 1 year deal with the Lions then get him back here next year. Throw a stove with turkeys, chicken, pork, roast beef, casseroles, apple pies & lots of $$$, whatever it takes to get him back here. Convince him that cold is just a state of mind.

At least we're paying Bailey six figures to be the best damn blocking 3rd receiver in the league.

It was announced earlier in the year he was gone for the year. I don't even know what the injury was.

They never said out for the year, just a significant amount of time and they were hoping to have him back towards the end of the season.

He missed half of last season, all of this season so far, not sure he'd do them much good sitting on the 6 game.

More time to throw lemons, we all need more time to explore lemons and bubbles apparently.

I’m guessing they didn’t want to over work Parker when he had to draw in to full time db duty. But if you’re gonna have him do one job he should return punts and let some one else return kick offs. 
 

taylor has very modest return experience and it’s long past. He didn’t look comfortable at all.

Better than 275k for a Jack off and cancer...Bailey brings lots to the squad other than stats...even then he still has made some clutch catches for us...and will again...

Stove is a cancer?

No..I'd pay Bailey everyday and then some 6 figures over a wr like duckweed in sask...signing Bailey had nothing to do with not signing stove...re-upping the Jeff's...Biggie .. our offensive tackles...Couture....2 canadian backs and Lawler replacement did...
