3rdand1.5

I agree, IMO this is bigger than Shoen or BO. I am very excited about this!!!

IF your hunch came to fruition, IMO we would arguably be a better team. It's just my 2 cents but I hope your hunch is correct!

I was disappointed in our Bennet last year, in saying that he is still relatively cheap and deserves to show if a season and a solid offseason improved his play. However, I was very disappointed in his lack of competition last year, Kongo, the "other Bennet" etc. if available hold the correct passports and could provide great competition...remember you don't need to be at the cap at the start of TC, it is possible say we bring in Kongbo and Anthony Bennet beats him out, a guy like Kongbo could get a bad case of turf toe and end up on the 6 game or even be cut outright...Not saying that would happen but it could Long and the short I would really like to see some better CDN competition along the D-line this TC I am curious in regard to the RB position, essentially, we could see Carey, Oulette, BO, Williams and Marrow all hit FA, that's 5 really strong RB's with experience, someone may go gaga for Brady, but with that amount of available talent, (minus the passport for most) I am sorry I just don't see the big dollar values being there for them. I guess we shall see soon enough.....

JJ was and still when healthy a great player. We are fortunate we had him at some of his best. IMO the harsh truth though as others have mentioned is he is not able to maintain his health. I wish him the best whether here or on another team, but in a salary cap situation sometimes things have to give and again IMO he probably costs too much for us. We will never get younger or find the next guy if we keep with all the veterans, especially when the price get's into the upper echelon, you can only afford so many of them.

IMO our biggest weakness and possible a solid contributor that led to us losing the GC was lack of rotation and talent in the front 7....Jeffcoat is great but another year older and never fully healthy...Thomas although he actually may have been the best D-lineman we had in the GC is long in the tooth, Lawson looks good, Walker developed nicely, Bennet did nothing good enough to be kept around IMO, Hanson didn't do much, but came off a big injury. Maybe Habba can replace Jeffcoat and open up some money? Maybe Fox can be fit into the roster next year and Lawson can be used on certain packages. Maybe we can get Mason Bennet, Biggie love the guy but I would imagine his role should start to be diminished. Wilson had an on and off year, what will his cost be, can we replace that? Kramdi emerged and gives us flexibility with the ratio. So I see some changes here and of course as always money plays into it. Receiver is another interesting position, Lawler and Demski is a great start. IMO we need to do everything we can to keep Schoen, BOO maybe he is ready to replace Woli, does Bailey agree to another discount? Whether Grant is back or not we need a few "real" returners in camp and on the PR at worst as we can't go through the lack of production, we went through losing him again we did this past season. I think we will sign enough to be solid along the O-line again. Holm if he is here next year at safety sounds intriguing. Nothing against Alexander but again age is catching up, and the league seems to be moving away from the hard hitters at safety. Another big question and it is a left field one for me....do we consider Brown as a legit starter...what could we get in return for Zach, and how much could we save for a season or two to "beef" up our roster elsewhere?

I would not have guessed Fajardo could outplay Zach.. But here we are.... Sucks...but we are a really good team...Mtrl just hit harder..ran faster...and today was more physical...congrats Mtrl...

Mtrl came to play....give them credit.... Zach made a bad call on forcing it to Lawler better options on that play! Fajardo not being hit enough... Time to drive the field. . Then...rime to hit Faj..and hit and hit...

IMO...top three half timeshoew ever!

Mighty meats out in Charleswood sells tri-tip, well cut, they also carry Picanha roast which IMO is just slightly better than tri-tip....Add some fresh homemade chimichurri.....

As mentioned above....one valid complaint Prukop going shotgun from the 3....why, what kind of overthinking silliness was that? Sneak, sneak, if you don't get it in and you want the points sure go for a FG, but the shotgun was poorly called IMO Our front 7 played so great, so controlled

Haven't players learnt by now to say generalities with the media! We are good...but the opponent is a great team...blah blah.....why do they say silly things like we will win etc. you know that's what media will focus on and it is not a good look IMO.. O-well early press clippings for us I guess. With our group, hopefully the leadership and the been there done that maturity avoids silly comments like that. Look Mtrls defence has been playing really well and they played lights out unbelievable last week...but did anyone watch VAJ tear apart the Cal. defence the previous week, he put up one of the best QB playoff performances ever, and then he played us and well looked totally different.....Did he forget how to play....no we just have the experience and the guys to execute.... While I expect Mtrl's defence to make some plays against us as did VAJ on occasion, we are so well coached and experienced I simply do not see their defence being as dominate..... Zach has far more experience than Chad and Zach has seen and given up pick sixes to Mtrl....he should be well prepared, and I would expect a lot smarter than Chad on his throws.... I don't expect us to have it easy, but with our experience I believe we should be the favorites....GO BLUE

Betts what.... Go Blue..... VAJ...owie Do it for Biggie..... Do it for the beer..... Get the VAJ outta here and bring on the FAJ.....

Well, that hailmary was a tough pill to swallow...... Let's let that motivate and pee us off and come out in the 3rd and smack me..... Hatcher, Lee and Biggie...that's some serious talent hurt in a half... VA is hurt, that knee looks weak...why didn't we have a decent contain him on the last play!! Someone made a mistake!!!! Go Blue..... Let's smack VA around and dominate this half for Biggie!

Nothing beats the sound of 10,000+ fans clapping "garbage pail mitts"...it's a beauty of a sound

Well Parker does seem to have speed and physicality.....

VA was scary good yesterday....we can not allow him to get Into a rhythm like that next week. Hall has his hands full this full figuring out how to prevent that!

TBH, Brady may not even get out of the West. League wide VA has a lot of love to represent the West MOP and right or wrong QB's do get more consideration. As far as MOC overall Brady has contributed more but Betts has broken records and has a lot of love from the league. It is possible Betts and VA beat him out of the West. As for league wide awards, I just can't see anyway Brady beats out Kelly if he makes it out of the West. Nor do I see anyway VA would beat Kelly. While it may not be my vote I just don't see a scenario where Kelly isn't awarded MOP. As to CDN whether it is Brady or Betts representing the West, they will win the league award IMO. Brady has been amazing and arguably one of the most impressive players this season, but he may not even but up for any league awards come time......

Argos probably get two or three league awards Stiggers Leake Kelly

My 2 cents Kelly will win MOP It will be tough between Brady and Betts for MOC...but whichever comes through the West will win the league award I don't think Willy will get through the West

IF BA can't go could Parker be considered at S, he seems to be physical and fast....no idea about the other tangibles.

I think ADS will do really well, they don't have great talent in the backend and he showed very well here.

Ya as Booch stated above, I just don't see them out physicaling us along the line. They are a quick smaller D-line that can get after a QB, we should dominate this aspect even if the stack it, the way our O-line/running game is built. It's keeping VAJ off the field. The more we can grind and wear down the defense and keep the ball out of VAJ's hands the better our chances IMO. We have the ability to beat any team in this league, but this will a very tough game and really big test....we lose we are almost guaranteed to be back in a few weeks at BC place with an even larger crowd, and a very well rested Lions team Go BLUE

Booch already has the cheque book out and ready to bid for that Jackson orange......

If Dukes plays, I really hope we win..... In all honesty though all games really are important as we are tied with BC. This game means a lot more to Wpg. then it does to T.O. We better not come out like we did in the last game against Hammy!

Overall yes I absolutely agree we are stronger with CDN talent...but our D.line...yikes...although it's been hashed over and over and most people agree there is plenty of room of improvement...I wish we had even some of quality type depth along the D-line we have along our O-line.
