Today is pretty simple:
* Physical line play and a run game that keeps us ahead of the sticks is going to be key - Free Brady.  Stack up first downs and let the crowd roar.
* Can’t allow VAJ to step up in the pocket and take advantage of a weak or undisciplined rush.  His legs can extend drives and put pressure on our secondary.
* Don’t give up the big play early. BC (much like TO) has thrived on explosion plays but we need to set the tone early - let them know they are going to have to earn every single yard the hard way.
* Zach can’t have tunnel vision. He’s had games (going back to last year) where he forces things (unnecessary deep shots or to specific receivers) and this is often when things go sideways. 
 
Just a few thoughts running around my head.  Let’s roll Bombers.

That’s one way to ensure the crowd is rowdy.

I wasn't sure who posted it but there was some discussion involving Bob Irving, Duane Forde and others who noted that there's a concerted effort to brand Kelly the face of the CFL and in doing so, it might influence voting. 
It rubbed me the wrong way.
Don't get me wrong, anything that can be done (within reason) to create hype  in markets that are struggling I'm all for it.  It's why when some around here were griping about how TSN was focusing on BC's new owner so much that I took the exact opposite tact.  We need invested owners like that.  It helps create an invested fanbase.  That said, don't snub a guy simply to fit an agenda - that's just wrong.  Brady has EARNED both the MOP and MOC this season.

Speaks to coaching.
For all his perceived flaws, O'Shea has consistently fielded a disciplined and mindful team - they don't hurt themselves with stupid, selfish penalties.

I think CFLPA all star awards are more prestigious anyhow. Voted on by players of opposing positions, DBs voted on by WRs and vice-versa, and so on, and no votes for your own teammates. Still going to be an element of popularity but who knows better than the players?

If Dru establishes himself as the “face of a franchise” why would he consider leaving that organization to come back here?  That’s wishful thinking more than anything.

Was Madani.
Just voted for CFL East and West awards.

Of note, Brady Oliveira for West MOP, but Betts over Oliveira for Top Canadian in the West. Betts' impact in games was staggering.

Crum got my vote for East rookie of the year. What they asked him to do was wild, right into the fire.
