    it’s good to see that even after I’ve been gone a year and then some, Iso and TB are still healthy and annoying as ever.

    you love to see it.

    it hit me when I went to the grey cup in 2019 ... it’s easier just to be a fan of the moments and enjoy the team than worry about “well we were fourth place and made a late season surge do you really think we’re a prominent force to be reckoned with or do you think my insufferable opinion about our backup qb being unprepared for battle should go unquestioned”

    I drank from the Grey Cup after Andrew Harris handed it to me at a bar in downtown Calgary, surrounded by my closest friends. They could come in last place this year I really don’t care. I enjoyed it. That’s what it’s all about.

     

     

     

    Awesome.  

     

    Hope he gets it...

    I tried to get you to stop making it annoying for everyone including me and failed. Too bad. We could have made it a better place for everyone. At least everyone knows it's on you now.

    You remind me of the kid who so badly wants to be one of the cool kids that he goes way overboard. It's kinda sad in a kid, but really sad in an adult. I'm done.

    Dude just stop.  You only serving yourself. 

    You are adding nothing besides getting off talking about yourself at this point.

    Augustine has not impressed me as being an heir-apparent to Harris. He looks ok but those are pretty big shoes  to fill. Oliviera showed promise but his injury after-effects may be a concern.

    We will know pretty quick if AH has kept in shape. Takes more work for the older guys to keep up, even more so for a guy that didnt have top end speed to begin with.  His initial burst, vision and ability to spin, forearm is what he does best. 

    I hope we dont see a C. Roberts type decline with AH.

    This was my thoughts exactly. It amazes me how some players are just so hard to duplicate.

    We think of running backs and wide receivers as a dime a dozen. And then I think of charlie and I think.... truly one of a kind. 

    In my time watching football, he was my favorite player to ever watch. Anything could happen 

    Nobody I have ever watched play ball has made me say wow more than Chaz. 

    A true legend.

    You obviously don't understand what dominant means. We didn't dominate Regina. They were one or two plays away from beating us at the end of the game. They also shot themselves in the foot by putting their backup QB in to try to get a TD and failed horribly. Those plays was their mistakes, not our dominance. I'll give you Calgary and Hamilton in the playoffs, but we weren't a dominant team in the '19 regular season. We were average.

    I never said we lucked into anything. There's a ton of room between dominant and lucked in.

    Who cares if we were dominant or not? 

     

    Our last three grey cup wins were from teams that were not dominant.

    Ok but did lapo get the players he wanted to make his scheme work? Remember when we hired him how he talked about getting more say in his players? Even in 02 he used dump offs to roberts and sellers a crap load. The guy runs a very similar offence everywhere he goes.

    Idk, did he get the players he wanted? Enough to win a grey cup yeah?

    I don’t think LaPo was the “scheme over talent” guy many would claim. The talent on this offence was a big o-line, a bull at running back who was a great receiver out of the backfield, one deep threat who had OK but not world class speed, and a QB with good accuracy and could run through progressions but a middling arm and was not a risk taker. LaPo crated a ball control offence that would not light it up but could control the time of possession and limit turnovers, and took advantage of a robot at kicker to get points on the board more often than risking turnovers that kept points off the board. Not as flashy as a high risk/reward quick strike offence, but took the tools he had and maximized its effectiveness and working around its shortcomings. When he had Milt, Khari, and Roberts in his first go-round he loaded up the playbook to use them. When Streveler came in he adapted to incorporate a strong running pivot with much less accuracy and made him a viable weapon that could throw just enough to keep defences off balance. When Collaros came in, the longer pass plays were then incorporated to work to his strengths. People knocked LaPo for a “predictable, boring” offence but it played to the ball control grind it out strengths we had and it won us a Grey Cup. At least that’s how I saw it. Many would chafe at the lack of excitement and non-sexiness of the “not a gun-slinger” style of offence, but you can’t argue with the ultimate result, and it for with the strengths of the talent we had. 

    I would agree on all that. It worked and came to head in the big game, Harris was the catalyst of our game plan and we dominated. 

     

    We pretty much have the same personal as the grey cup winning team minus Strev plus Harris who is year older. 

     

    Nobody knows if Harris has lost a step. 

     

    Does Buck base his offense around Harris and misdirection/short passes like Lapo or not?

    I may have missed this but, 

     

    I'm wondering if anyone has an idea how Buck is gonna run our Offense? 

    Im sure Lapo will have influenced his schemes but this is another storyline im really looking foward to seeing. 

     

    I dont see him being a scheme before players strenghts guy.

    Say what you want about him on the field but off-field Matt Nichols is phenomenal.

     

     

    A few xmas's ago my brother got my girls a Harris and Nichols jersey. 

     

    I Instagramed a pic of the girls wearing the jerseys and tagged both players. 

     

    Nichols shared the pic on his feed and thanked my girls and wished them a merry xmas.  

     

    Class act, I have nothing but love for Matty Ice.

    Watching the news here and Global Edmonton just said Sewel  has an agreement in place with another team. 

     

    I think he has another couple good years in him. 

    Hope he finds his was here if Stove has his heart set on leaving.

    I expect that jake will be pretty locked in at one DT spot. 

    I feel like hes got atleast 5 inches on haywood. But the way he started every snap may have shrunk him in my memory. 

    + alex mccallister is a beast in waiting.  Not to mention what if Kongbo comes back? That guy could be a system changer on a long term deal. 

     Dl is the least of the bombers concern. Both lines are stacked deep with young talent and vet starters. 

    JH was listed at 5'8"

    SR 5'11"
