Speaking of Garcia - look who gets tossed out of the game at the start of this clip.

Weird - I now think this is a clean hit😉

Apparently you've gotta protect the quarterbacks... I heard the announcer say it a few times...

Instead of having them go elsewhere, I'd prefer to imagine that we pull a Calgary and have a constant string of star QBs.

Until Maier McCheese, when was the last time they had a mediocre starting QB? Since the early 90's they''ve only had to suffer through Drew Tate and Marcus Crandell for a bit.  

I shudder when I think about some of the trash QB's we have trotted out over the last 30 years.

 

For sure. A home grown QB?

It's what the people have been asking for...for decades, seemingly.

Imagining a QB stringing together a 10 year career, breaking Brock's career numbers. Throwing a couple of championships runs together. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Still TBD in 2023

Come on you Elks. This is the week.

That Garcia/MOS clip is interesting. Somebody should send it to Ambroise and have him explain why the CFL did a better job on player safety in 1997 before CTE and its impact was as widely known.

Didnt think O'Shea's hit was that awful. Slightly late, but nothing egregious. Certainly didnt warrant a game misconduct IMO.

Szott's in his 3rd season and on his 5th team.  Only 4 more for bingo.

Ottawa

Montreal

Winnipeg

Sask

Hamilton

Somebody wake up Walters, we clearly could have traded Szott's for an 8th and a large slurpee.

Woah let's not get crazy, a large slurpee? What flavour? Cause that seems like asking way too much.

Canadians are gold in the CFL. All Canadian players are worth at least a large slurpee and an 8th.

They were both still in bounds (well inbounds) when O'Shea made contact with him.  This is a case of penalizing the outcome rather than the act.

The bigger issue is the fact the benches are so damned close to the field.

Have the Slurpee delivered to practice and Bob Cameron approves of this deal.

[Pete Catan's Ghost]

Send him back to Sasky so he can put a ring on Brit. 
 

Just the sound of SZOTT DORT reminds me of the great Don Martin.

From the hatchback of a little VW Rabbit. Gotta keep the hoggies happy and show that they're contributing....

Osh in his playing days skirted the line between hard nosed and dirty often, had a rep for it, and also played with the mindset to knock a guy out of the game any chance he could, and if he saw an avenue to do it...would gladly take it....my kind of guy, and how I played back then too.....Wish he would channel some of that into his coaching and not worry so much about being the nice guy.....

I see that influence on the team though. This team has always been physical and not afraid to hurt a guy within the rules. One of the things that makes them tough to beat. You gotta win a 4 quarter street fight.

Being extremely physical has been maybe the defining characteristic since he got here.

I think the D has been searching for that spark all year tbh.  Hasn't been more than a 3 quarter street fight outside of the BC game here when Collaros blew their doors off.

Ticats have 3 Olinemen on the 6 game.
