Lotta former Bombers of this Cats team.

Source.....trust me bro

It’s the topic we not allowed to talk about related or something even more sinister really for them to just sweep Matty under the rug with no mention of him at all.

Carberry took Washington from bad to good. Arniel took jets from over 100 points to presidents trophy. Carberry deserved it.

Dru Brown is a basically a pocket passer, he tends to get caught flat footed when a defender breaks thru on him, leaving him vulnerable to sacks. Nothing wrong with his arm, but if he doesn't get enough time he can't hit the deeper routes.

I like to think that I know a litle bit about quarterbacking as I followed my son's progress all the way from pee wee to high school in Calgary to Junior with the Rifles to JUCO in Northern California to D2 SFU. I also follow about a dozen qb coaches on Instagram, including my son & see what they're teaching youngsters today. I really, really really like the skill set & toolbox Davis Alexander has. He has everything he needs to be a breakout star in this league. (If his Left Tackle doesn't kill him first). Is Dru Brown #2 or 3 on the list of great young qbs coming up? It's between him & Rourke & time will tell. Rourke is bigger & stronger than Brown & can run if he has to. That's Brown's weakness. He can't scramble & run. Or at least he hasn't shown that he can.

All losses

I may have missed any news stories regarding this but did they decide to discontinue the NHL awards?

I think they are both good QBs. Put a good team/system around them, and they will do well. Pass the Crown Royal - errrrrr Five Star

Carter Brooks from the Hockey News posted this…

Brown is also getting a fraction the support in offence Alexander is. If you swapped places I think brown would look insane and while Alexander would run for more yards he’d struggle more. But at that, it’s great to finally see the next crop of young QBs stepping up in the league. Brown and Alexander are well above rourke imo in every thing but hype. But still that’s the best 3 young starting QBs we’ve seen in the league in a long time.

Yup, that was his 50th game as a CFL HC... If he hasn't figured it out yet, I don't think he's going to.

We were talking about Dru Brown's Thursday night performance yesterday before the Als game. Compared to Davis Alexander, you can see Brown's deficiencies as a qb. Even healthy, he can't run. He also has a hard time avoiding the rush from the pocket. Yeah, he's accurate for sure & made some nice throws but he just seems to be missing something. Like the Big Play when the RedBlacks need it. Brown put up huge numbers inside the 20's but when he had to score to win, he couldn't. Alexander meanwhile is athletic, something Brown doesn't seem to be. I remember that one play when Alexander was flushed out of the pocket & took off with the ball & showed great speed to pick up the first down. Just a terrific play.

I think he will have a job up here as long as he wants. Be it scouting/player development, or one of many position coaching spots. He might just not be cut out of be a hc though. Having him as a position coach like wr, and an extra scout in the off season, while being able to assist a CO, is one of the best values you could want under the coaching cap.

He'd be hired as a STC somewhere in the CFL. He'd land on his feet.

He first broke into head coaching in 2015 as the interim hc of ssk. He’s been the rbs hc since 22. Two full seasons plus almost a half. We are way way past learning quickly on the job. I love bobby dyce. Great football mind, excellent talent evaluator, tremendous guy. He’s been coaching in the league for 22 years and he’s already 2.5 into this hc job. The leash is gonna be real short on him, and if it doesn’t work out he doesn’t likely get another hc shot short of some thing miraculous.

Lots of nice guy head coaches get fired. He's Canadian with experience & is a competent STC so even if he's fired he'd get on a staff somewhere.

You may be right but I hope you’re wrong. BD is just a guy who is so easy to cheer for. I just hope he ends up where he best contributes.

Do we need a dedicated social thread now?? Funny how HCB mentions the food & farts but not women. As my Ukrainian uncle used to say with a thick accent... "If I tell you no stories, I tell you no lies."

Learn quickly? Dyce has had all kinds of time. He's a STC not a HC. What's going to save him is he's in the first year of probably a 3 year deal. Why they reupped him is a good question.

yup and when the food came out at midnight that usually entailed crackers, meet, cheese, pickles etc that did wonders on everyone’s breath and sharing of gas.

NHL players must prefer guys. One of the best young qbs to come into the league. His OL almost took him out by blocking his man into his knee. Dumb OL.

Ottawa's secondary was 100% bad last year, and this year too. Might not be personnel.

Actually not just Canada..that was also something a lot of players would say as well about wpg

Great times at the socials back in the day....One of the best places to be in the Peg and I'm going back to the 70's ...Great food ...a lot of booze and what was known all over Canada, at one time....prettiest women in the country😘
