You asked a question, I thought I'd offer my opinion. No lecture intended.

Yeah he's (seemingly) trying to be an edgy american style commentor. His takes aren't ground breaking at all and it seems to be getting some traction in terms of engagement online. I think it's a calculated move by TSN/CFL. We'll see how it pays off.

I mean, it was week 3 of the regular season. If it were LD or later, He'd have a point. But undisciplined, sloppy play early in the season, especially in a Sask game, is nothing noteworthy. Fact is, with TCs being soo soft now, and vets playing a fraction of pre season, the first month of the regular season is the real pre season. Stephen A. has charisma? LOL, I mean he's got something Wilson doesn't. I think wilson views him self as a Bomani Jones type, but really is one of the filler guys who used to be on Around the Horn, who tried to fit in with bad hot takes and edgy crap but just swung and missed. I'll say, he had some points. I've seen plenty of bad games with thrilling endings up here. Way too many games where the refs take over. And I dislike the TSN presentation as much as anyone. But that's all low-hanging fruit, none of which is easily fixed.

Jets still have 22.4 million in cap this year. If Ehlers moves on like rumored im not sure we replace him with free agent signings cuz the list is weak and im not sure who they would have interest in and who would want to come here even so they could have cap space this year also for the bonuses.

Wilson lacks the personality and charisma to be McAfee or SAS.

His cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year at the team's choosing. I would think the Jets will build their roster based on the base and push whatever bonuses he attains to next year when there is a big jump in the cap.

Those bonuses are interesting cuz it’s basically all about winning rd 1 rd 2 rd 3 and cup final and playing in most the games. Jets made round 2 this year. Let’s assume they make rd 2 again and Toews plays in half the games atleast, that’s 500k there. But if they don’t win a round there’s no bonus.

No matter what JT makes in bonuses this year his cap hit is $2M. All bonuses can be deferred to next year when the cap jumps by 15 million.

Honestly. Bennett was kind of a major disappointment until he got to Florida where he found his game. The guy in Florida ain’t the same guy Calgary drafted. Something changed once he got to Florida. I don’t think he dropped in the draft. He was taken 4th overall. Ekblad Reinhardt and Draisaitl went 1 2 3. Seems right to me. 3 of the top 4 picks in 2014 were panthers last season.

Pat Mcafee

He’s trying to be a little 2 American media personality and quite honestly I find him annoying and completely pointless. Who the **** Is Luke Wilson anyways? I know who he is, he played in the nfl a couple seasons but I don’t get the point of him covering cfl.

So is Luke Wilson's goal to be a Stephen A Smith?

yeah he is getting things talked about and people engaged to a certain degree about what he's going on about...probably in the grand scheme of things good as it's being noticed....and defended/discussed

Yes but he had a shoulder injury that he never told the Flames about. He was worried that the injury would affect his draft status.

I liked what I saw from Cooley and would love to see him get more reps. He seemed to be a guy like Charles Roberts who can do quick cuts and find holes but with the added benefit of being build like a tank and being able to power through for a few extra yards. It would be nice to see if he can be the real deal.

His takes aren't gonna chase any league fans away from the games so they're unlikely to do any harm, expect, perhaps to him. Even bad opinions can lead to positive results.

The game wasn't terrible but the KO return ending really was cuz they missed a clear block in the back that should have nullified it. You hate to see a team fight to come back only to get corn-holed by the refs...I mean unless that team is sask.

RB AJ Oullette

The guy is controversial in the traditional sense for sure. He does seem to know the X’s and O’s of the game and is as good as anyone out there rationalizing them. Us older generation May think he comes off as an asshat for his comments on what is bringing the game down , but just maybe this is what it needs to get the new generation more involved, I don’t know only time will tell. I get super annoyed when he talks of the major differences in the CFL as opposed to the NFL. Might there be something in it though that us old guys are missing and to get more youth to start following CFL the league might have to consider some radical changes!

Luke Wilson at it again on social media. He said the Argos-Rider game was crap despite the walk off KOTD. Too many penalties & qb sneaks. He called Bob Irving old after he criticized Wilson's take on the game in Toronto. Wilson said he still loves Jon Ryan even after his former teammate supposedly ripped him on a social media podcast yesterday. Is the Luke Wilson experiment working?

Demski

Let's go with Demski this week

I bet we see Demski...that being said they should flip Sterns for Mitchel tho to give more a threat and a mid to deeper route guy to open more space for Demski and Schoen...even for big Kev to work underneath and give that nice target for conversions Keeping the oline as is and utilizing Cooley more too...and some packages with Strev to keep Edm dline honest and out of getting into a rhythm

Schoen
