Unless it's injury related (and I think it was in Womack's case, but not sure about the two DL), bringing back our cuts after not giving them a look in the pre-season game is a bit embarrassing and just shows our lack of ability to really know what we're valuing when we scout players.

2 cuts already. Javier who had a couple real bad moments and Battle. We brought back recent cuts WR Womack, Dl Arnold and Fletcher. A bit surprised we are cycling through our own cuts already, but the NFL pre camps probably have every one down south in a holding pattern

And now it seems to be normal again...sorry Rich not trying to make your life difficult.

And a run game

He got burned at sam once, and that side did struggle in coverage late. But it was very much a group effort in coverage that failed. What I liked in what I saw was his kick cover and physicality were really good again. I think he's a bit out of place as a sam tbh. He has the athleticism, but doesn't have near the polish dropping back that frequently into coverage. I think he'd be much better off at wil/mac or backing up Kramdi at S. Though he could well develop into a great ratio breaking sam at some point, but its one of the hardest positions to adjust to for guys who are pure cover players. Zach is gonna rub off on him a lot, already seems to be happening. Elgersma was aggressive, and thats not bad. But he did fail to pick up post snap coverage adjustments and didn't take what the D gave him. It is good that he didn't wilt though. Id like to see him learn to play more with in the system and work medium to long range rather then deep to short, but we might be hard up for that to happen with no QB coach and Zach as the incumbent. I think year 2 Elgersmas' floor will be very high. And his ceiling is tremendous. Nailed it. He made the best of a bad spot, took what he could and used his legs when he needed to. His run-throw processing was better then I expected and saw in the UFL. It is a small sample size, but its easy to see why the other 2 qbs fled town. I expect Perkins to be QB2 and Elgersma to be QB1. for 1, the defence gets more out of prepping with perkins running scout team then Elgersma. For another, his experience in terms of preparation as a professional is extremely valuable. He also provides an instant change of pace if zach has to come out, and we can continue with a streveler pack based around short yardage/heavy set and hurry up with perkins. I'm bullish on Vibert, but he wasn't great in the first game. He did play mostly Guard, and he wasn't bad, but he didn't pop off the page either. I expect him to get a lot more reps and some time at C in game 2. Shays ' teams play comes from a great instinctual athletic ability to flow to the ball. He shows that on D, but its still raw compared to Smith.

Be nice to see Elgersma with actual CFL WR's and not just a bunch of rookies.

Yeah, I was encouraged by what both qbs showed. I think perkins has a lower ceiling but a very high floor, which should allow Elgersma time to develop to his lofty potential. I'm pretty excited to see both in game two as well. I don't know how we could not look at Andrews, or why we would draft him if he played like that and didn't get strong consideration. Last years punter was a better leg then Sheahan, but Andrews looks like his leg should be in the NFL. He had that monster field position flipping punt but he also had some strong hang time and smoked a few long ones. Yeah it was. Singers a good one, I kind of expect him to sit on the PR and develop at first, but he's talented.

Yep. Plus a little bit of a miraculous physical recover fro zach from more than a couple concussions. Makonzo retires in toronto. Guy just couldn't get/stay healthy. Such a shame.

Back then Thompson was good. On the other side, this is not good. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/article/maple-leafs-f-domi-out-indefinitely-following-complications-from-surgery/

Very slow again. Both on the App and the website

I am guessing that it's Tui's job, he's gonna have to sharpen his pencil is all. I think he's going to have to show a lot more in game 2 because right now Perkins has a better command of the offence. I thought he showed good hustle and movement to the ball. He didn't show up on the stat sheet, but he flowed to the play nicely.

In 1989, I moved from Winnipeg to Thompson, MB & took over the office of an independent adjusting firm making more money I ever thought possible. If I was asked to move to Eureka, NWT for 3 million dollars a year, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. You don't have to liove somewhere forever but you get to bank the paycheques. These players that don't want to play for the Jets for whatever reason are entitled pieces of ****.

Stewart got some kind of a plea deal. It's said that on his deathbed that Sawchguk said everything that happened was his fault & he begged the police not to charge Stewart. We all know the cops & the state legal authorities have the final say on whether to charge someone or not despite what the victim says. So again, rather strange.

Elg's corner throw to ... Singer? was sweet.

Boys will be boys, eh.

Nobody is perfect, but there are people on this board who have the correct analysis / opinion, more often than not. In fact, some of the team's moves in the offseason, confirmed what people here have been saying.

Not to mention the fact and I quote: It’s a f’ing discussion board with fantastic options at one’s disposal to block, ignore and/or engage at one’s discretion. I added f’ing for effect. :) Riders suck.

Actually, Marner is excelling in the playoffs now that he is away from the Makebeleafs.

We have Vbert but no idea how good he is.

At least modify the no trade list where a player only has an option to identify say three teams as a no go (and yes Winnipeg may make that list frequently but at least it makes the player think it thru a bit more).

Perkins looked better and did more in one quarter than Wilson did in 3 seasons.

Elgersma has all the tools. With Collaros & Condell tutoring him he'll be fine. Just needs time as you say.

I agree, wbbfan. This is a discussion forum. Basically being told to shut up & just appreciate what we have doesn't cut it here.

2 drops and a bunch of bad decisions. I’m very high on him but let’s give him some time.

What did you love about Shay? The only times I noticed him was when he tried to blitz.
