  2. Neufeld was a veteran with many years of starts behind him so I'm sure while the transition was still difficult for him, he had that experience to fall back on. He's not a rookie out of U Sport or a kid with a couple of years experience & he struggled as a right tackle at time as wel. The young guys playing in U Sport don't play tackle in the CFL after they're drafted very much.
  3. No CFL head coach dares put a Canadian Tackle on the left side of the OL. They aren't strong enough, quick enough or have the technique down to stop a fast American DE. They can't function on an island where'd they'd be out there. They only can play the interior of the OL. Overpaid to say the least.

  5. Pisses me off that teams continue to pay Canadian OL this much money. Some fatty comes out of Canadian college unable to block at the CFL level & they still get paid or have long careers when they suck year in & year out. Guys like david Foucault come to mind. Koala as well. Finally they begin to figure things out at age 28. That's why I believe their salaries would go way down if there was no ratio. It's artificially inflated because of it.
  6. James Van Der Beek talks about his own mortality before he died...
  7. I don't think Dinwiddie is either. I could see a trade where Brown goes to the Argos for Kelly. And Nick Arbuckle is on the Argo roster as well. being a backup again can't be sitting too well with him, either. Could there still be a 3 way trade with the Bombers, Argos & RedBlacks as 3DN suggested earlier this off season?
  8. Robson was the original Canucks announcer on CBC HNIC in October of 1969. A position he held for decades. The Canucks very first game ever was televised at the Pacific Colliseum. They were considered Western Canada's team until the WHA merger came along in 1979 with the Jets & Oilers joining the league & the Flames in 1981.

  10. No Goalie is right, we avoided a huge mistake. Trotz always seems reatless. Never satisfied. I think he found the GM role a lot of work. Something he wasn't prepared for & didn't want to do.
  11. Wheatfall was very inconsistent. He'd disappear for games only to come back, have a couple of strong game just to disappear again. For a second year receiver that's not good. Now huch of that was Zach not having any confidence or numbnuts Hogan as OC? I guess we'll find out with a new team & qb throwing to him.
  12. Why does this bother you? If Tracker posted this here, why do you care? I know a couple of former CFL players who are struggling with CTE now that they're in their 60's. Hopefully, this will eventually be able to help them. One in particular suffers from depression & worry. At times, he feels like he's losing his mind. I have issues with my memory at times as I'm aging naturally. I'm certainly not as sharp as I used to be. Even 5 years ago... I forget things & every once in awhile I get confused. I was driving recently & forgot where I was going. There I was, driving on the freeway in Calgary at 100 kph with no clue as to why I was there or my destintion. I began to panic but after about 15 seconds my memory came back. I thought I was going crazy but apparently from talking to other seniors my age that seems to be a common occurence much to my relief. Just the aging process going on. I've suffered one concussion that I know nearly 60 years ago when I got hit in the head by a baseball during a game when I was 11 or 12. I don't remember much about the incident. Just that it happened. Without going into details, I suffered for days afterward. I remember crying & my Mother trying to comfort me. I could have had more as I've had my head rocked a couple of times after but I have no idea. Anyway, for the two former Bomber players that I know, hoping this treatment will someday help them & others.
  13. ICE agents.
  14. Maybe I misunderstood what you said. If I did, apologies. I thought you said the backup doesn't need the reps in modern football today because we have technology to help them get better without reps in practice. That's what I thought you meant. My response was there's nothing like reps to improve as a player. To see & understand what the defense is doing & how to attack it throwing the ball.
  15. The more your starter plays when a game is out of reach, the more risk for injury. To me, if we're up 21 points going into the fourth quarter, I'd be pulling the starter to protect him. Also, if I was HC, i wouldn't have some clueless rookie as my backup behind Collaros, That's just plain stupid (but we're talking Osh here). I'd be screaming at Walters to sign a veteran qb who has played & has experience like MBT.
  16. I watched O'Hara yesterday on Neflix. She played Morgan Earp's wife in the motion picture from 1993 called Wyatt Earp starring O'Hara, Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid, Mark Harmon & Gene Hackman.
