I don't think anyone hates Gauthier. He can play and has his uses, it's just not the the optimal line-up (imo). If it was a ratio issue and had to go with him, I don't think there would be much as much discussion about it, but that's not the case.

yes that play was incredible and one that he'll always be remembered for... but that was a special teams play and it was also 5 years ago.... there's a reason he's a journeymen special teamer with almost no starting experience.... if he was starter quality, he would've been playing there a long time ago, not making his first start at 32 years old... as an in-game emergency fill in, he's fine... but when you've had all camp to find a new MLB and the best you can do it a 32 year old, journeymen, special teamer with no starting experience.... that's a major fail... I hope is that he's a "starter" in name only... and there will be plenty on movement in the LB ranks throughout the game... I honestly prefer the team rolled the dice on Ayers or Gemmell.

...yeah just barely more than skunks.....

I predict Streveler will score. And Clercius.

IF the wind is blowing at 50mph, this could have a definite affect on the game....Kickers are gonna be pressed in a close one.....qbs. will have to adjust and I like our qb. being able to do that in comparison to theirs....we shall see

Yep we don't make the Grey Cup without Gauthier making that play, that was huge

Agree there will be rust and obvious rookie questions for Game 1. But I don't get all the Gauthier hate around here. Guy is a stud, knows the system, and has good lateral quickness - plenty fast enough to cover receivers coming out of the backfield. Who remembers Gauthier running all the way across the field to chase down Marcus Thigpen to stop a Riders TD on a trick play couple years ago? Gauthier also has no trouble stopping the run. Besides it's a rotation.

That's complete bull$hit if Lemon is allowed to play....the Als could shelve him but they won't and that speaks complete irresponsibility to me....The Als. organization is going to have a stain and the league has it's hands tied , with regard to stepping in and showing that the reputation of this league will and must be preserved ........Statements like , 'I wonder who Lemon has his money on this one' is quite laughable if it wasn't so sad

Lets hope he regularly clamps down where you rarely hear his name called.

(based on one play I saw in preseason 😂) I think Ford is going to be really good. Super quick.

With all the legitimate criticism thrown at the Argo's in terms of how some in that organization handled the CK issue, how about some questions for the Montreal organization in terms of the SL issue. I know its the players/Teams prerogative that he can play as his appeal makes it way thru the process but maybe Montreal could say SL is innocent till proven guilty but will not be playing until a decision has be rendered to ensure no distractions for our team with the tasks at hand with our upcoming games. They technically are doing nothing wrong on having SL play during his appeal but there are other routes they could have taken.

I'd like to think that Chris Smith kick return for a TD in preseason was due to everyone being tuned in and executing their assignments on the return team. So, although I really miss Janarion, let's see how Myron Mitchell does and whether there is a flicker of potential there.

Yep. It's an independent arbitrator that sets the schedule so yeah nothing the league can do at the moment. Appeals are expected to take weeks to play out and it's been about 3 weeks since the appeal was filed so you would think it'll wrap up sooner rather than later.

I picked the Bombers, but I have a bunch of worries about this game: Several vets with little to no pre-season action. BA, Brady O, & Neuf all starting with just a couple of practices under their belts. I hope the injuries are fully healed. Two new corners. Ford's only got 1 start in his career. Gauthier @ MLB. Two new starters on the OL & very little time together in the pre-season to gel. New returner with zero returns in pre-season.

Bombers are going to crush the Als tonight. No Austin Mack to bail Fajardo out.

We're almost a professional league again.

So, if this were the regular season, he would be allowed to play 6 plus games before they reviewed the case?

What everyone has been calling for years.

The first drive has probably been scripted for the past two weeks, so they should go down the field pretty easily, as they have done in the past couple of years. After that, it's going to be a slog. 21-17 Bombers

Streveler

First one. Summer officially starts. Go Blue. No respect on 3Down

That's great, but it sounds like it's outside of his purview.

Rider fans have earned their stripes too, all four of them

man of all the times I don't have to be at work today.....(I have compiled a wish list for books we do need)
