Both...but if the QB has a deep read open...the OL has to give him the time. If they can't do that and other teams start seeing it on flim...you can probably guess what happens next...

I think it's very average...but let's how they do tonight. Calvillo has probably 'demanded' some adjustments. Keep in mind, Trestman got a few more seasons out of him by keeping him well protected. If last week's showing continues, look out.

Last on the coach's show...Tim Burke said Hamilton has the best offensive line in the CFL. It's a little early in the season to do a team by team ranking, but just off the top of your head, who do you guys think is the best? I've gotta put Calgary ahead of Hamilton for sure.

It never happened last year, so that's a million dollar question. Wonder is Pencer would make a decent guard...

That mindset amazes me; not wanting to give up two points but failing see that you'll probably give at least a field goal. Calvillo had been cashing in on short fields all night.

Buck needed to complete a few hot routes to them back off with the pressure. They weren't getting much with just their front four, but when they rushed 5 or 6. It's going to be a long season if the offense can't make that adjustment.

As soon as I noticed Buck rolling out on most plays, I started watching the inside blocking. Morley was getting beat far too often.

I thought the OL was okay. In fact, Calvillo took quite a few more hits than Pierce did.

I'm about half an hour north of the city on #8. We use BELL and only have trouble during heavy rains...have watched plenty of hockey during blizzards.

So...maybe you should've specified which ones you thought were viable options. Then people don't have to assume you want Tristan Black as a starting LB, for example.

Concrete always cracks...rushing had nothing to do with it.

There only one thing worse than comments on CBC articles...comments on Free Press articles.

Even hydro dams have cracks in the concrete... ...non-issue, they can handle it internally

What actually happened will come out eventually...somewhere between the lines...

HUGE. That would have a positive domino effect on the entire roster.

Our '05 secondary begs to differ...

Gotta agree with you there. Burke's schemes rely more on man coverage...he's known for effectively coaching one on one coverage skills.

None of them possess the accuracy and quick release of Calvillo. IMO, they're shoving a square peg into a round hole by trying to emulate a system that was designed for Calvillo. Max protection needs pinpoint accuracy from the QB to be effective...I don't think we have that.

I disagree. If teams can focus on shutting down your running game, you're toast.

If that were the case...he'd be doing it as we speak...

Sometimes that's a case of covering up for other players' miscues...bloody hard to tell in a pre-season game.

Or they'll find out the oil companies pay more than the CFL.

Yes. Maybe one of the new guys will step up. Personally, I prefer a plan with fewer "what ifs"

Here's my armchair GM off-season plan: (Clearly Mack and Burke disagree with this) a) Cut Pierce and Brink Make a trade with Calgary for Glenn c) Have Elliott and Glenn fight it out for the #1 QB position Is that a perfect solution? Of course not...but I think it's better than what we have right now.

Precisely...someone actually sent me an FB message asking if we did.
