Paywall, but Ken Weibe has been putting out some good stuff in the freep. But I certainly miss when The Athletic briefly covered the CFL.
-
yeah nothing of substance at all...or any actual insight/thought....just regurgetation of echoing some of what the coaches say in any media scrum...and even at that at times some of what they say is not realy a good indiation of anything, andd they will pump tires of whatever player they are asked about....so you don't get a true sense of anything.....Not like you are going to get a "we don't think he has the stength to play pro"....we like player X's hands way better"....."Too slow at this level"...."Player Y is a much better option"....sometimes you need the coach to say things to light a fire under a guy, or give a returning player who may too comfy in the thought he is good.....to really get best out of the best..... Even some of the pre-season "camp battles" basically focused on returning guys, as guys with the inside track for a spot....which is garbage and sad if the case.....I also still don't 100 percent trust in our HC going with the actually best player abvailable, or one with the best ceiling, but still some of this loyalty/favorites thing going down...Hope I am wrong.,but we will soon see.

Farhan is going into the HOF. What a joke. An embarrassment to the legacy of true media. - Today

Where's Sam Hurl when you need him? The local press used to cover the Bombers like a blanket. We had award winning writers covering the team everyday at practice on the road & at home. Budget cuts, Postmedia layoffs over the last two decades has left us with just a couple of reporters covering the team gives us what we have now. The one league that relies on media coverage was the CFL. Now, it's virtually gone & this is what we get.

This is totally laughable. Farhan is almost suggesting that the CFL should pay Rourke's salary since he would help drive up ticket sales across the league. He talks about Rourke selling tickets to Stamps games in 2022. Well, the Lions' 2 games in Calgary averaged 22300 fans. The Bomber game for comparison had over 25k. -

Years ago in the freep, Ed Tait used to analyze a different position every day.
-
Seems you can't count the Oilers out this year.
-
The lack of coverage in training camp is truly so frustrating. The human interest stories are great fluff and I can’t blame Ed Tait because that’s what the club wants but come on … Bighill out to start the year and not a peep about any of the new linebackers. Two offensive line spots open and no clue who is out in front of the competiton. A full draft class and no idea how they’re slotting in yet. Is Haba/Fox starting just a closed case already? Does anyone want to talk about it? KJ Hill cut and as per the reporters, he was “a hyped rookie” but absolutely no mention of who may lock that spot down now. It gets worse every year. @DTonOB explain yourself
-
I might get a new hat
-
That’s true but in that case our qb2 had recent cfl experience in our offence. I think it makes sense to have Streveler run out for at least 1 quarter if not two. Get experience behind the buck playbook running some base packages, maybe work with the first team guys and get re familiarized with the league. I wonder if we will see any designed qb option / runs. I expect Strevy to play 1-2 quarters in the first game and 1 tops in the second. Zach takes half plus a drive usually. Rookies probably close out the game. Can’t freaking wait.
-
Rod Brind'Amour isn't going anywhere
-
Yep. Should be limited to pretty much the last Canadian on the roster as a dressed coach and limited use guy. First ni off the active roster. we have a dl coach and I can’t see game teaching pass rush moves or hand work to disengage. Unfortunately it seems like Jake will play till he physically can’t, and will be run out on the field till that happens.
-
Yup...only can do one thing now..bull rush and not even that good at that now...has no lateral ability...or technique to make up for that...has absolutely even less pursuit ability...no upside..only continued slide down now...and just blocking young players reps and developing...I see no reason at all for him being here now...even last yr already...and don't say vet leadership...we have more than enough of that and need young guys stepping into that role now anyway
-
No chance with the TERRIBLE roster management of this club /s
-
yeah but how often does 311 and the transit site and affiliated apps go down at the same time?

Argos have had good recruiting for years. They were among the first teams to start more Americans on their OL. Due to Canadians like O'Shea on D - IIRC -
Happens all the time. We brought 4 QB's in last year (Cooper Callis, Billy Hall, Josh Jones, Tyrrell Pigrome) who were all new to the league. Jones and Piggy only threw 17 passes between them over the 2 preseason games while the other two got released before those games even happened.
-
Exactly! I wasted years on mental reps!
-
I'm also an elite athlete, my body just hasn't ever responded the way I want it to

Jarvis would sign here. He’s from here. But why the **** would brindamour? He would never even think about Winnipeg. Honestly the quicker ppl stop pretending Winnipeg is a free agent destination for anyone outside of the 2 or 3 guys in the league who prob were jets fans growing up, the better. Rod would have his choice of destination. It wouldn’t be Winnipeg.
-
Dallas New York is I’m sure what nhl hoping for. Canucks run will end in Dallas tho. They are a wagon. beat defending cup champs Vegas rd 1 beat cup champs 2 seasons ago Colorado in rd 2. They deserve to win. I’m actually cheering for them but not really watching like I would be if jets involved.
-
Plus you got a couple spots open on O. Would be ridiculous to just bring 2 QBs brand new to the league then cut guys after who never had a chance to make a play. Strev atleast gives these guys a chance I’d imagine
-
I worked at 311 for 5 years. It’s down more than you know. It’s the system they use.
-
Might need a year on the pr
