Build it & they will come.

Well, he can't travel by air so he's screwing his career over.

Looks like the Bombers are doing the same against the Riders. I just hope we don't suffer any injuries.

They really need a rule where lineups can't be so one sided. is there no concern for player safety? Sending a JV squad as Farhan Lalji called it shouldn't be allowed. And fans saying it's the Stamps fault Thompson got hurt because the Stamps blitzed when the game was over? C'mon. That injury is on Campbell. I wonder if he'd like to be standing back there getting the **** kicked out of him. Yet he expects his qbs to go through that.

Gray is very good. If we had lost him to FA it would have been devastating to our OL.

I've been watching the league probably longer than you've been alive so asking me if I'm new to pre season games is pretty darn lame. Teams can chose to play their players in different ways. They can bring a larger roster & play as many as they can. Or they can do what BC did. Leave their veterans in Kamloops & send an all rookie squad to Calgary to get slaughtered. . Play an all rookie OL & lose their rookie qb to a serious injury which sounds like it could be season ending. Then turn around & say it was the other team's fault for injuring him in the first place. When it was a coaching decision all along.

I didn't write a one thousand word response to the Saunders situation. I don't care about the guy. he just threw his football career away for being stupid... or worse. My take is the same as always. We have very little luck signing older CFL receivers. Either they don't work out or something is wrong. We've had this problem for years. That's all. Every team has to deal with injuries.

What year were you born?

Why are your shorts tied up in knots over this? Saunders is cut & never coming back.

More of a joke on how bad we are at signing older FA CFL receivers.

How long?

The Argos traded Arbuckle to the Elks last season when they brought in Pipkin. That cut makes no sense. We should give him a shot. He's young so maybe the Bombers luck would change.

Who is JWL?

QB Wally Gabler #12.

I guess they feel that with the way sci fi technology has changed over the years with blockbuster movies & tv, going low tech would hurt ratings. With TOS viewers could see that the Enterprise felt crowded & small with 400 crew memebers. The Bridge was compact but believable. The Enterprise in SNW seems spacious. The Bridge is huge. The decks seem to be able to hold a thousand crew. The producers of the show must have figured out that is what fans want to see, I guess.

Yep. Single back doesn't give teams a lot of options.

Don Unamba.

In a way, I hope not as I want the best back to play.

Man, a toss play. When's the last time you saw that in a CFL game? Even a simple shovel pass? Run plays could be so much better with a little imagination.

BC starters left in kamloops. Lions rookies play the Stamps vets. I don't like this at all. Fans are paying for a glorified controlled scrimmage.

The upper decks on both sides just look like they stopped because they ran out of money. Caretaker Bob is a billionaire. Did he put any of his money into the thing? With Hamilton Ti Cats history, tradition & establishment in the community TH Field should be 30,000 seats. If Young didn't help finance the construction & it was supposed to be a bigger & nicer stadium then something is wrong. The losers are the fans. I'm grateful & proud of IG Field.

I doubt we'll see 2 back stuff. Every team runs with a single back. I'd love to see lead plays with Oliveira leading Augustine thru the holes. Or counters & misdirection but that was the CFL in the 70's & early 80's. It just isn't done anymore. What you'll see is the backup spelling off the starter. They won't take out a slot to play 2 backs.

Oliveira is more of a power runner. A straight ahead kind of back whereas Augustine can make offenders miss & has that extra gear when he wants to kick it in. Defenses seem to be able to scheme Oliveira a lot easier than Augustine. I'd like to see Johnny get the starting reps to see how he grows into the position & improves.

I don't think he's any different than a lot of American backs that play up here. He is explosive. As long as the OL is opening the holes he'll have success. He kind of reminds me of William Miller. The way Miller used to explode thru the holes back in the day.
