Gonna be a great evening at the ballyard! Looking forward to being 2 - 0 even if it's just the preseason

Pretty sure Addison always has his 'lid' on.

That list isn't getting any smaller.  Hopefully a few of those are just playing it safe.

I believe there is a Greaves trade thread no? Lets keep this one about TC today.

Drones would be good! It is harder to assess everything from the sidelines, especially O-line- D-line LBs - much better to be a few rows up. You can't see much of anything that takes place over on the far side of the field during scrimmage or even skelly. So that's one of the reasons I haven't been over more often. It's just not that much fun watching from the side. You can see when an RB happens to make directional cut to gain daylight but defensive pursuit angles, closing speeds etc,are very hard to judge from the sideline. For example, it appears Hurl tends to turn his hips too soon to set up the cut-off angles and so he ends up nearly always in pursuit. I was watching from the sideline and only watched him for 3-4 plays from a bad angle so that's not definitive.Hard to judge from the sideline how fast players are actually moving through lanes and what they see or don't see. One general observation: everyone seems intense & businesslike as would be expected with good competition for jobs. 

Very true, but it would be nice to watch.

Mint!!

LOL  I was going to comment on Resurrection's post.... But this pretty much sums it up.

Willy will sign before the season.

Doesn't fly with me. Should have nothing to do with the Jets. It's not like the Free Press opted to not send anyone. They sent their regular Bombers beat writer and he did his regular terrible job.

Some decent officiating would be nice too.

In no way was I jumping all over him, he just didn't seem like himself last night.  Chill.
 
I love Trouba and what he brings to the team.  No doubt, he will one day be in the upper echelon of D-men in the NHL.

Let's just hope we can get some even officiating.  I can't recall exactly, but I believe San Jose has had 15 power plays in our last 2 meetings... I think we had 4 or 5?  Something waaaay out of whack like that.

We have recent history of a terrible high pick on an OL too. Take who you think is the best and don't let past mistakes made by other people shape your decision.

Wow, did someone take a dump in your Cornflakes this morning?
 
I agree BTW. 

I got the going bananas part for you.

All of that, plus family.  Other than his adventure in Edmonton, Hall has been a fixture in Regina since 1988.  He's not uprooting his family and re-working his life "just 'cause".
 
And that's part of the reason the hiring process doesn't happen at light speed (to the angst of some impatient posters).  It's not just us evaluating Hall.  It's also Hall evaluating us.  This organization.  The city.  The schools and neighbourhoods.  This would be a big deal for him.  He's not without obligations in his life.

Because it's easy to sit at your computer and say, this is a bad trade, or that's a bad signing, when you never have to make any of those decisions.  Sometimes you have to take a shot and pull the trigger.

Only 3 OL?!  No wonder we're giving up so many sacks and have a terrible running game.... We need 5 out there!!

The one and only reason the media is so gung-ho about talking to assistants... is because they were told they can't...
