Go back in time and marry a Bomber cheerleader like I did.

No, moreso what it is is that you don’t really understand what you’re presenting as evidence. The reason Augustine shows such a high YPC is because he’s typically been deployed as a guy who gets the “high risk” carries that are going to be home run swings. He’s put out there in positions where he’s either going to bust a chunk play or he’s not, not being asked to grind the hard yards between the tackles as a chain mover. In his two most productive seasons with us, 20-25% of his yardage came on one carry. The evidence you’re using would be the same evidence you’d use to suggest Demski would be an impact RB for us if deployed as such, which is interesting if we call back to the fact that when we HAVE needed to run between the tackles without Brady, those touches actually have strayed away from JA and towards Demski in past years. JA isn’t a bellcow. That’s not a bad thing. He’s just not. I’ll use NFL stats because CFL stats don’t exist anymore - look at the top RBs in YPC last year … not many (arguably any) three down backs in the bunch because that figure is always inflated for the guys who are asked to run almost exclusively off tackle, see low usage or both. But sure, go off with your box scores. Tell me how JA did running between the tackles in the preseason. Spoilers: it was not good

Box score watching at its finest.

Didn’t you love Swaggerville 😂

People who don’t like what Agudosi or Bailey are doing so far this year don’t know what Agudosi or Bailey are supposed to be doing. Agudosi is an over the top, jump ball receiver. Red zone target. Done fine in both of those aspects so far. Bailey is a chain moving, gritty TE in a WR body type dude who is going to make the tough catches, move the sticks and lay some blocks. Done fine in all of those aspects so far. We don’t need 5 Schoen types or 5 Lawler types. We have those guys, we have Demski and we have the rest playing their roles.

I’d really like to see us sign Harelimana

Also, Lawrence sucks tonight big time also, I’m drunk

I’m not a big ref ***** guy but holy **** this is pathetic

At the same time … terrible coaching You play the drive to get a field goal and then … don’t kick a field goal?

No doubt they have a plan, I just don’t really think it’s a very good one.

Way to miss the point entirely

We got rid of all of them

What does that even mean? What cost? The cost of a minimum salary rookie? Nobody is saying go get Lemon as the end all be all. We’re saying put a ******* edge rusher on the practice roster in place of one of the redundant 36 global so we’re actually prepared.

So once Lawson comes back, we can replace Fox with a DE we currently don’t have signed?

This is what frustrates me the most. People are going to say I’m overreacting, it’s just Saskatchewan, whatever. All of that might be true but I’m not worried about the result. I’m frustrated by the process. There’s absolutely no realistic way that anyone can tell me with a straight face that replacing our all-star edge rusher with a guy we signed off the street 4 days ago who plays an entirely different position is what our staff drew up as a solid plan. Oldest defence in the league and we’re using our extra American spots on a ******* fullback, kicker and defensive tackle. Ridiculous.

Well, at least we got to week 2 before our poor training camp and roster management put the team in a bind.

I know it’s just a preliminary injury report, but stuff like this is exactly why I hate how we manage our roster/practice roster. Let’s just say Schoen, Oliviera and Jeffcoat can’t go (which I’m sure they can.) Who is taking their spots on the roster? Probably Miles Fox, Amare Jones and/or Greg McCrae? Or do we retry the failed Janarion on offense experiment? So positionally, we have no equivalent replacement for any of these guys.

He’s apparently healthy but I’d have little to no interest. He was cooked before the injury.

Sounds super egregious. ”Hey buddy, specialist drills are at the end of the day so if you wanna not sit on your ass and keep loose, you can help us with some stuff”

If (big if) Chad Kelly is legit, they’re a very serious contender. Great roster.

Everything the league does from a technology standpoint is beyond incompetent. Their website is atrociously over complicated, the stat tracking should’ve been figured out months ago, even this “CFL Game Zone” thing they did this year is just a more convoluted, less accessible way to run the same pick ‘em games they ran last year. It’s embarrassing.

I don’t think we need to move on, but what we really need to do is consider the idea of deploying him as that 23 snap a game Canadian.

I like Muhammad but I’m really getting tired of our PR being a revolving door because guys rarely get an opportunity

That roll out call for Harris on third down there is incredibly stupid when you play in four days
