Its tough to project a partial good season over a full year when that player hasnt had a good season like that in the past. The question really is can he sustain such production? The missed turn overs, and big gaps in performance (halfs of games, late in the regular season etc) are reason for pause. I think at the very least he will have to play better then last year to produce at a similar level. But either way we are on the cusp of finding out.

I wish we saw this fire early in the first PS game. +1

I havent gotten to watch it yet. That would make sense. This is not a team where you can dog it on STs. Kinda drives me nuts. Nearly every single player in the CFL could be a lifer in the NFL if they committed to playing hard and smart 100% of the time on teams.

A few other DBs, roc, and smalley have played out of their minds so far. I think most of us are shocked about frederick. Hes plays the same way randle does. Had some good coverage dunno. They prolly feel the other guys have more upside. We are stupid deep at DB. Especially with fogg, mo, and loffler. Or, he is basing it off nichols individual performance and not the teams. Nichols even in his good games last year tended to disappear for quarters and halfs at a time. His play late in games, and in the western semi is what really showed promise. He threw a lot of passes that should have been picked, and got some great blocking up front, plus the turn overs. Imop this view is fairly representative of what most fans around the league think. The same way people thought about him in EDM. guy who you can grind out wins with. Wont blow your socks off with production but wont cost you games. The first half against us last year he threw 3 or 4 tds didnt he? Yeah hes a guy who shows some great flashes then nothing. His mentality is a bit like jennings in bc. He will force some passes into bad spots and start throwing some real ugly passes out of the blue. That may be some thing thats coachable though.

Was there much of a jump in price from old stadium to new? The new digs look pretty sweet, gonna make LD classic soo much better. Also, does it have room for expansion? Im probably the most down on nichols among bomber fans. I feel like what we saw from him in the first game was similar to what we saw last year, but with rust. Lefevour did come in awful late. His performance has to be taken with a grain of salt. I had lefevour as favorite to become the no2, especially with his experience. But if davis plays at the same level in the next game he could be the no2 qb going into the season. Lefevour also fits the system very well.

I hope apodaca is PR bound. But maybe they have eyes one some one even better. I like frederick, but he is redundant with randle. With fogg, smalley, roc and mo coming back we arent exactly hard up. I could see frederick getting a call from another team.

Yeah medlock duh. so 1 wr/returner 1 db 1 lb and medlock.

I think thatll be the case. Di wr / returner and 3 on D. 1 db, 1 lber for sure.

Guys who can collapse the pocket and get after the qb up the middle with regularity are worth their weight in gold. And johnson seems to be that guy. Its what they hope ekakitie and butcher and evolve into.

Idk how hard core wrestling fans feel about this but i stumbled on it and was the greatest thing ive seen in a long while.

Yeah, i imagine 1 guy Di 1 guy starts. Probably 1 on the pr. A lot of guys there goin to the waiver wire. * maybe some one like thorpe sticks on the IR and moves to the PR when healthy to get a good look at em.

exactly hes the jayden smith of the cfl.

Thanks i couldnt recall if he got picked up some place or not.

Oh i dont think we will carry all those DTs. I should have added jake thomas to that. If poop ends up on the roster, it probably spells the end for one of the three candian DTs. Namely butcher if some one is straight up cut. Maybe some one goes to the PR and some one hides on the IR though. And yeah jeffcoat looks like a keeper too. Some real long nights in store for the coaches, walters etc.

With 1 game done, 1 game to go and few days in between it seems like some of the position battles are still really muddy. Poop johnson seems to have really muddied things with his play. I could see us starting Hurl at MLB, johnson at the 2nd DT spot and using butcher/ekakitie to rotate an imp mlb or db in. Aside form hurl at mlb, knox and temple combined for some good pressure early. Though temple wasnt playing mlb. santos-knox had some good plays too. At the final wr spot, lankford seems like he'd be best as a DI to return and sub in. But like mlb it doesnt seem like any one is stepping up to take the job. It seems like itll be down to the wire, but walters also talked about doing some cuts early to focus reps on the heat of the positional battles. Loved mos talking about every guy having to go into every football activity with the mind set of keeping his job. Cept medlock. But hes a kicker any way. The rest of TC should be really intense now. Especially with how mos sounded post game about a tie. He seems to take the tie worse then a loss.

Is sergio castillo a FA still? He looked bloody good for us last preseason / camp. Yeah he did. Liggins catch looked pretty dang good on the replay. Washington iirc had a couple called back and has looked good in camp. The tier of WRs on the bubble all have some pretty interesting skill/size/athleticism. They are gonna have some tough choices on that last wr spot. Being able to return and a legit threat to score is really gonna help lankford.

No kidding. Dont expect a lot from the refs in the cfl but they still find ways to disappoint.

thats the exact same way we made the play offs last year remember? By beating any pressure, taking what the D gives you and YAC. If you try to force passes against against our D you risk a pick.

100% based on what bob irving and doug brown said + who was making plays.

Hobson put a video up of his "fumble" the riders were like 1-2 yards off him. Fumble was 100% not on him. (credit to throw long bannatyne for the video) Like his talent, if he is hungry and motivated like denmark was last year he could be a keeper. How excited are you guys about bridge right now? Sounded like he did every thing you could ask and for a good part of the game too.

Thats true. The way he beat them is the way you beat our starters though.

Some positions performances mean more in tc (like OL) for qbs TC is awful soft. Bennett didnt play well. Still young tho, and a guy id rather have around then young. But i think the rider fans are gonna drop back to reality and realize why he was on the PR to end the year. Bridge on the other hand played really well. Starters, bench, blitz, 4 man pressure he played well against it all. If i was them i would be more hope full now with bridge then previously with bennett.

Only tuned in tnite to watch derrick lewis vs mark hunt. Lewis looked good for about a round and a half. Then he looked kimbo vs dada5000 2.0

bridge played first series in the 4th qt and the bulk of santos knox plays were 2nd and 3rd. Its pre season, and first week of it at that. It all counts you can lose your job in the 4th qt of a pre season game. Its preseason, it is what it is. But its worth more then TC. especially the current state of TC rules.

temple and kyle knox each put up 1 tackle and combined to get 1 great qb hurry early. santos-knox had a few really good plays though.
