Goodbye Thunderbird restaurant

This is a disingenuous level of bullshit that's inspiring my ignore button. Last week the complaint was Sheahan couldn't "kick them out of trouble." Evans gets exactly that chance and hits a 31 yard punt out of bounds from his own 19. 16 yard net. Guy did sweet **** all to win the job whatever complaint you have with Sheahan is. Showed nothing that he's a capable CFL punter. And Joe Couch was awful for Sask too so not surprising they are scrambling for help.

What I read was that Joss and his husband had a history with all of the neighbours as they would get messed on meth and would do weird stuff such as banging pots and screaming at anyone walking pass the house. Last year when he was on drugs Joss tried heating the house by making a fire pit inside the house and burned it down. The husband apparently was also cooking meth so that's why it went up in flames so quickly. They came back to the neighborhood got into a shouting match with the accused and he went inside and found his rifle and shot him. The police have found zero evidence of a hate crime towards gays but instead a feud between neighbours. The husband posted a rant on Facebook saying it was purely anti gay, however other neighbours posted on Facebook with the claims of drug usage and bizarre behavior. I assume the media is waiting until more info before starting a firestorm.

For me I’m not thinking oh vet favouritism, I’m thinking we have a coaching staff that appears to support punts with limited hang time with hopes of great placement and hopes ball takes funky bounce over punts with consistent good hang time with decent distance that usually puts team as far away from our goal line as realistically possible.

Evans had a 31 yard punt in the 2nd game that was out of bounds at midfield.

Evan’s. Not even close. He has a good chance to be in the nfl in a year or two.

BO gonna be the first time ever MOC and MOP back to backer Wpg..B.C..Sask..Cgy..Edm Ham..T.O...Ott..Mtl

Punter guy makes it difficult for our coverage teams...and our coverage has been abysmal since...hmmm...Punter guy started punting...go figure Evans had 1 punt in the second game didnt he...fact of matter...had minimal to zero return on all his attempts tho..and placed it where it looked like it was supposed to go...plus got it off in half time as punter guy And yes...until it's warranted I still want use his name..the fact I still will utter Jake's name...tells u how crappy Punter guy is..at least I still capitalizing Punter lol

This one?

The last Mitchell has shown very little so far. Unless there are undelying reasons why with a probablity of significant, rapid improvement, I would definitely bring Hollins in for a look-see. If nothing else, it would send a message.

From someone frustrated with seeing too many line drive punts that frequently made our coverage team responsibilities more difficult, all I need to know is: Who has better hang time?

3DN articles are fill-in-the-team madlibs. Their postgame stories are always "<pithy quote> and <number> other takeaways from <game>". Cut reports are "<team> cuts <number of cuts> including <highest profile cuts>" followed up by "why did <highest profile cut> get cut from <team>?" stories. And Myron Mitchell was our <highest profile cut> answer.

Slow CFL news day. He was better than Sheahan and had the potential to get better. That, for me would be good enough to kick Sheahan out. And Sheahan would likely have wound up in Regina.

Heart wrenching for sure.....Condolences to the Stegall family....Way too young to leave this world...RIP Chase

The Riders are desperate for a punter having cycled through a few guys already in camp. I would love for Evans to completely dominated and been kept on, but he didn't.

Averages aren't everything. Evans was hitting angles, he wasn't suddenly shanking punts. Also, in the first game Evans averaged 53.5 to Sheahans 43. I would've gone with Evans, but I get PRing him. I understand that we can't force him and that he left for a chance to actually play. That alone, should tell you all you need to know though. The riders wouldn't have been scooping sheahan.

You guys are nuts with your OShea guys. I don't love Sheahan but the rookie didn't show well in the second preseason game and got asked to join the PR which he refused. This isn't some big conspiracy. Punts NO AVG LNG IN10 YDS 18 Jamieson Sheahan · P 4 51.3 62 0 205 70 James Evans · P 4 41.3 49 0 165

FB fans or TEP fans.... All the same. I really don't know how close they follow the team but it isn't "very"....

I could be wrong, but I believe those words came directly from Derek Taylor, who I wouldn't call lazy. To his credit I believe he listens to fans and has improved the format of the Coach's Show, condensing the commercial breaks and also cutting down on the Foster Brooks call in feature.

nope....the fact that he cant really kick a team out of scoring range is problematic...especially in a league where 80% of games are decided by 5 or less points....That and his kicks 9 times outta ten allow forthe returner to get ball and a good 15 yards of field and in high gear before anyone is close to him...or have to try and find a lane or seam....totally defeating thepurpose or negating your coverage schemes Evans was also a trained punter in American football for yrs....and has technique and form...and got ball off in 2 steps...Sheehan wasnt...has horrible technique...the time it takes to get it off could be timed with a sundial....and will get severl blocked again this yr...had way too many close calls last year...and also some blocked ...one of which was in playoffs was it not...teams are on to his set up and know how to attack it..I see several blocks this yr...

I don't agree that it was closer than perceived. I haven't seen a multi-year incumbent punter with such frequency to shank punts be handily the best punter on any team with competition. Sheahan is Mos' guy, it's really that simple. Evans wasn't like some guarenteed golden leg reincarnation of bob cameron. But everything I saw and heard, he was clearly better. Even angle punting and hang time, Evans was better. But his speed at getting the ball off and consistent abilit to drive the ball down field a lone set him head and shoulders above Sheahan. Dude is good for at least 1 shank a game/practice, and prone to shank streaks on top of that. He has good games, and he has games that aren't brutal. But he is very consistent in smoking a ball off the side of his foot out of bounds for a net 10 if we are lucky. If you break down his splits, it would be sickening how many under net 25s he has.

and they trumpet and always say "important piece/starter J.Thomas is back."....or some variation of that because Osh will go on podium...or in media scrum on practice field and say as such....so yeah @GCn20 U nailed it...lazy journalism...just go to any practice and witness it up close Tait is good...was a great beat reporter....but he also now gets a lot of his talking points from the team it seems.... A good thing tho about how Osh picks "his" favorites and goes on about them...Cooley seems to be one...and actually is a player that could be a real plus to the line up.....but with our luck will be the one time said player doesnt get even a sniff of regular rostering

2024 CFL punting stats also don't shoot off the page well for us.
