WPG-SSK June 27th.

LOL at the CFL expecting 10,000 social media mentions before they release the schedule Epic backfire. They're going to have to pad their numbers or we're going to be waiting until March. BTW - 95% sure the season opener is on the road in Saskatchewan.

I suspect he's already been told theyre moving on. Lawless' article the other day said as much.

PS I meant Western Semifinal. lol And if you have to ask the question about the weather, you have doubts about our backups. Doubts about the backups = get the improvement.

Here's a hypothetical. Eastern Semifinal - Winner moves on, Drew Willy hurt but back the following week. Who do you want playing? Marve or Kevin Glenn?

If this were 2011-12 I would agree with you. 2015 KG not so much. All I'm saying is a year ago a lot of guys were happy to pick up Burris LOL. KG at the right price (150-175k) wouldn't be so bad. Do you really think marve or portis is going to perform better than kg? For a CFL back-up? No way that's a good deal. It's definitely not a bad one. Isn't that what Willy makes? Willy makes more than that. And Willy is a low end salary QB at this point. Hell, Dinwiddie was making about 150k when he was here I believe.

I just can't get behind this argument. "What's the point? If he's playing for us in November, we're screwed" Same goes for Marve or Brohm.

If there are concerns about length, I'm sure Troy Stoudermire would be a capable fill in.

Bombers back in on the bidding as per Kirk Penton Alouettes in, but not feeling like they're in the right price range as per Herb Zurkowsky

All I can think about when I hear Rod Black talking about Giguere ...

No idea what you're trying to imply here?

Envisioning Glenn in November is envisioning the worst case scenario. If we're dealing with the worst case scenario, we're likely ****ed anyways. The upside to Glenn? Being able to stay in the playoff race if let's say, for example, DW got hurt in July and was out until Labour Day.

Would love to see us sign Kevin Glenn just to watch the fans react so negatively to a move that would actually be a very wise addition.

So I'm assuming Knox = LB? Nice.

No doubt the Riders have gotten worse, though, in my mind. Their Canadian situation is a bit questionable. But so is ours and we think we have a good team, so let's just wait and see I suppose.

Meh, I'd say moving from Foley and Kilgore (or whoever they had at MLB) to Emry and Hall is a big upgrade. Other than that, they've retained depth similar to what we've brought in because we didn't have it in the first place. Let's see how things keep unfolding, though.

Love how Grigsby is getting zero attention in the media.

Federkeil cracks me up. He's giving Calgary an amazing deal on his salary because he's got all that NFL pension money rolling in. Must be nice for Hufnagel to operate within a budget where he's got an all-star Canadian RT for the price that most teams have to pay special teamers.

Good for Miles, always liked him.

super happy for the guy. I know he's busted his ass to get ready to play again.

The reality is that we don't have a single Canadian worth being a full time starter on defense right now. What we have is a stockpile of Canadians who can take a limited and controlled amount of reps in order to manage the ratio via committee. I'm sure we'll see Newman at WILL, Hurl at MAC, Thomas at DT, Sherman at S, Bucknor and Jones at the corner all taking meaningful reps this year. But not a single one of them will likely be asked (outside of MAYBE Bucknor) to be an every down player.

He didn't. He said the best two Canadians out of the group of talent they have will be the ones that start.

DE - Anderson - Turner - DE Hurl/Newman - MLB - OLB Bucknor - Johnson - Leggett - Washington - Randle Would be my current guess.

How does this work for someone like Armia? What years are we burning? Sorry I'm a noob at NHL contract stuff.
