Fit is a big thing these days. Teams in the CFL have to do what is best for the players a lot of the time, if a guy isn't being used effectively or in some cases, at all then it's no big deal for the agent to phone up the team and say "hey, I represent 10% of the entire league and if you don't give my guy a release so he can go find a team that actually uses him, you're going to miss out on a lot of other talent" It's certainly not that aggressive from what I understand, but teams and agents know it's in everyone's best interest to make sure the players are happy.

Just seems like an opportunity to create flexibility. Not sure if Shaq is interested, but I feel like we should be interested in exploring this. It's a natural fit to our roster and while I get that we have the attitude right now that we would start an American if Harris got hurt, that's probably because our only option otherwise would be Normand.

I'd be curious to know the costs of the box. I've already booked my flights, but I haven't paid for tickets yet.

Yeah, he would certainly take care of the need to even consider dressing a guy like Lankford.

Also, for no reason whatsoever ... here's a picture of SML being chased by JSK

I'm incredibly surprised he was let go, but I'd like to see him as soon as possible here. Thinking Saskatchewan might go after him too though.

I'm lost. Why does everyone think us being optimistic about this week is being optimistic about improvements? We were 11-7 last year. Our opponent was a dumpster fire.

@SPuDS Give me my like now, please.

There's a limit?

Chris Jones is definitely a major DB.

Jamie Roiddard.

He's not playing on the offensive line ..

Andrew Harris

You can tell just by watching that highlight video of his that he isn't playing with a strong QB. Not one pass in stride, a whole lot of ducks.

Welcome! That fires me up. Hootie 2.0

Especially since we have two.

I like visiting Regina. It helps me remember to appreciate Winnipeg.

He reminds me of Greg Ellingson.

3rd round draft pick next year in exchange for this guy ... ... kind of came out of nowhere. But for a third rounder, I don't know what more you could ask for.

YOU ARE GOING DOWN

I would imagine you're right about the timing. It makes sense though. They can't add 9 names a year.

It's only one a year from now on.

That special football is awesome, but man are those referee uniforms hideous.

They did the same thing last year. It's passive and to me, it's an easy way to get beat up and down the field all day. If you don't even rush four, it allows us to do so many things. Send Harris out into the intermediates as a receiver ... work the 10-15 yard game ... force their inexperienced defensive backs to beat us. The problem with that is that you're putting way too much on the plate of a group with no real proven success. Montreal kind of played into their hands last week a little bit, I thought. I don't know what the approach was, but you saw what happens when you go over the top of a secondary that isn't in sync with their communication. It's not going to happen every time, but teams like the Riders are way more prone to the 30+ yard play because of the higher potential for breakdowns like that. Not to mention, I'd expect they're going to have their hands full with the bigger bodied guys like Washington and Adams. Those guys are physical receivers, guys who will make the Riders get physical in return ... can they do it without penalties?

They were mostly unhappy about it because Lavar's 15 year old son dropped the N word on live TV twice.
