The lesson here is feels don't always equal reals. This is why it's important to show your work. As Mike has shown early in the season they opted to punt from a short field, but nothing after that save a situational decision and one in the cold of a Grey Cup.

You better start doing your research then because I want you to show me all these examples you are talking about. Tell you what, forget the conditions for now, show me all the times they passed up on field goals under 50 yards. Start there.

How many times did he pass up chances for field goals of that length and what were the game circumstances when that happened?

If the bar is Justin Medlock some of you are destined to be disappointed in the kicking for a long long long time

I just find it hilarious that the unwashed masses are eating it up and pretending that they actually had a good offseason. Just too blind to see what is really happening.

Yeah bit Trevor Harris said it was a dream to play in Saskatchewan!

At what point do the blue states say "so long"

Tackle is a way bigger issue than kicker... i feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Legs is fine and still developing. ******* hard gig following medlock.

Yeah reads to me like a guy struggling with the decision to stay for what the Bombers can offer or take more money elsewhere but maybe not be as happy.

Jones would probably convert him to a defensive end.

Just start the season. I am ready. LFG!

That guy is just a pure heart and soul player. Very glad to see him back.

Yeah they're so lost they think they are enlightened but the way they all parrot the exact same talking points is all the evidence you need to see they're just idiots rejecting concepts they can't understand.

Stove was a rookie at one point. Just have to find another stove.

Kyle walters actually looks at guys special teams play when drafting them.

But 2 seasons down to injury... guy has to show it is a fluke thing. I mean we all remember the lumsdens getting bent out of shape about how it was all just bad luck.

If there are ya buts available then it's not that valid a point. Mike has his opinions which are not out and out wrong, but they're biased.

Oh I'm not suggesting that they were sissy injuries or anything, but some guys just get hurt. I hope he isn't one but given his history it needs to be proven.

But can he stay healthy?

Ehhh last season to me felt like walters was bringing it back on a budget. I think he honestly saved some cash for guys coming back from the NFL who never came back. I wouldn't be surprised to see some better depth this year.

It's easy to look a step slow when you have to cover for everyone. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point simply because he did improve later in the year when some other areas started to get solidified. I don't know he has a long time left, but for now I give him the benefit of the doubt.

You are too critical of him. Yeah he ain't what he once was, but he is still pretty good. We had a shitn load of problems on D last year.

I also think last season the defense was not what it could have been because of the sheer amount of injuries... secondary was beat the **** up, we lost maston before the season started, we lost Wilson and then his backup... Jeffcoat barely played... that's a lot and this team was still able to overcome it and win 15 games. Not worried about them at all. Scouts do their jobs and someone will show up on the DL to help (not to mention Hansen as well right?)

Well I for one am still mad at Ellingson for gassing that easy first down pass early in the game. Set the tone for the entire thing.
