yup...we used to employ a Canadian who essentially had no impact in any play...often was rarely even covered, and was never integral to anything we did as an offence....my how times have changed for the better If Edm had a compatent short yardage guy lsat yr they likley would have had 2..3 more wins alone due to some of the circus stuff we saw where they just looked like they were wanting to give a game away. The 2 games vs the Riders I believe would have been wins if i am remembering the bafoonery correctly

Edge vs Christian at centre field at BMO for 2026!

obvious punchline: Jones hears "short yardage specialist" and immediately pens Prukop in as the short-yardage nose tackle. jokes aside, I don't think this is a bad signing. a bad short yardage QB can cost you games, as Tyrell Pigrome taught the Redblacks last year....plus you keep the wear and tear off your old guy and your young thoroughbred Canuck. I just love how Woli makes teams defend the whole field. don't miss the days when we'd have some Canadian scrub way out on the field side as a theoretical distraction.

When the GC is here they should get the folks from Winnipeg Pro Wrestling to do a match or 2 at halftime.

I've been that way since my first post, likely before. Why complain about it now?

I know random things hahaha....def not a fan

Huh didn't know that.

Celine is all messed up with some disease last I heard

not greatest in backfield either with blocks nope yup...nailed it Loss of Pushoff Rhymes and Hatcher...who was by far their best reciever, is a lot to overcome for the VAJ...Hollins flourished moreso from those guys being in the lineup....he doesnt have that now I look at our unit...U try and take away Lawler...One of Schoen or Demski gonna scalp you....or remove Scoen...Lawler will have a hey day....Plus both those guys as well have proven track record for us of being critical 2nd down conversion guys....and we havnt even touched on dependeable Woli also in the mix, and fact BO and Strev will be runing it down yer yapholes....wearing you down....no team in the West has 3 top end guys like that who also double as conversion guys...and a horse and a bull in the backfield on top of it

Or other local guys. We already had Bieber. Maybe Shawn Mendes would like a go at it.

(deleted a duplicate post. i am good at computers)

100% this. Emphasis on having to commit to the run. Stanback isn't a guy who is happy or productive with 10-15 touches a game. Thats the big question. Aging banged up rb, not what I want to bet on. No, he's out right bad in pass pro. And his hands are sketchy too.

does Stanback even have that dimension anymore? It seems like he's well past the time when he was right up there with Andrew Harris as the best running RB... also, is Stanback a good guy from a pass protection standpoint? The RBs they had last year did not look great to me in that regard .. at least when I watched the Lions I saw VAJ improvising a lot.

Stanback is kind of a one dimensional player. They will have to commit to the run. He's pretty useless from pass sets as both a runner and receiver.

Youre right, and drake would be similar. Don't be stoopid, you know we don't love her up here... LOL Would celine dion still be a big deal? Iirc she has a massive residency in vegas. I think a final performance by Sum 41 would really over lap the market and demographic well. Not canadian, But Ice cube did really well up here. He'd be a big get imo. Especially if you could get any off shoots of nwa/aftermath/shadey records to come with him.

Didn't realize BC had signed Travis Fulgham ... That's a pretty big pickup, I remember him being in my NFL fantasy lineup briefly a couple years ago. He got a big opportunity with the Eagles when several receivers in front of him got injured and he played well. He never really got another chance though. I think he could be a sneaky big acquisition for BC.

Kenny Lawler

Strevie.

The Weeknd would have to really want to do it. The man is worth several hundred Million. But he's a big enough name that even if he isn't your particular cup of tea, you'd have to acknowledge what a coup it would be to get him. But he's a fellow Scarberian, maybe he'd come home and do it here. Who knows?

And by no means does every thing have to cater to the hard core fan. Even the unwashed masses on the FB groups deserve content aimed at them. I think the clarity most of us want with injuries/roster is pretty basic. But we aren't going to see it with Mos. I wonder how the coaches show is when the team isn't as good in the future. I'm glad the team and cjob are making that money and getting that support now. I hope they milk it as long as they can. 94 and 11 iirc

They've won at home twice, I believe.

Derek is doing the absolute best he can with the coach's show. MOS just isn't very forthcoming so it's being able to work within his parameters. And honestly, for 75% of people, it's more than enough. And it's still insanely popular, which is why it's an easy sell for the Corus marketing team and is always loaded with spots.

BC should be good, but I am not sure they should be as good as media is hyping them up to be. Although they host the GC and VA is a very big play exciting guy to watch when he is on, so it is understandable that media will try to create hype and stories around this. As I mentioned above VA is and has always been a great athlete, but has had struggles in the mental portion of his game. Last year he for the most part didn't get too high or too low, and showed maturity and growth, it still begs to be seen if he can keep growing in that regard, or if as history has shown he falters back to his ups and downs. He also had a very good, very experienced receiving core at his disposal to use his strengths with, does he still have that with the high changeover in his starting receiving corpse? If he doesn't can, he successfully adapt to a different style of game, last year he lived and died on the "big play". The big question is, with Stanback the Lions do have a solid ground game, will they use it, will they use it enough to not become one dimensional and if they do will that affect VA's ability to get into his rhythm on the field. again VA was at his best and was very good, when he got into a rhythm and the big plays were happening. If they choose to use the run game enough, will VA be able to be patient and turn "it" on and off within a game to allow a run game to get established and then find that big play magic only in between running plays. I for one do not think BC will use the run game as much as even they want due to this. I predict they will start the year trying to establish a more balanced offence, but that this will come at the cost of VA doing what he does best, which is pushing the ball downfield. I predict after a few weeks they will go back to last years one dimensional big or bust offence, to get VA back into a groove.

Harris...tho BLM hurts himself trying to help him up....Masoli with all the luck he's had trips over the both of them...breaking something....and Cries of "we are snake bit again" squeel outta Saskatchewan as Patterson is a poor mans version of Shiltz.....but with minimal passing skills, and Dole Bannana out in B.C shows he's more than a capable back-up and spot starter, and Fine lands somewhere else as a 3rd string, on a playoff bound team.....The Mace era starting out splendidly in the process with les wins than Dickyboi produced in last 2 seasons....hjow's that??
