Or there is a good chance the Defence goes back to it's very Vanilla rush 4 scheme, and doesn't continue on after it had success this week.

So then could Ottawa sign Henoc in December? Or is he our property (for lack of better term) until a later date?

Pencer or the new American OL that came in last week. LET THEM PLAY !

Foreshadowing an announcement that Simpson is out for a lot longer than expected?

I honestly don't think that Cauchy being here will have any bearing on him resigning.... Moreso I think he played Mack to get his brother a job.

And Woodson probably said "Ha, no thanks"

I can't think of any trades Mack ever did mid season.... I might have the blinders on here, but I seriously can't remember ANY trade that Mack did....

There are two starting NI LB's in a whole league. Your alternative to Muamba is another NI receiver. Sorry, I meant moreso that you have to have another viable NI who can step in, regardless of the position. Thanks for pointing that out.

If we put this time into Muamba and he walks, we end up being farther behind than we were in the beginning. Trying to Build that MLB position as NI, without a viable exceptional backup, is short-sighted.

Restricted free-agency, or arbitration at least.

It is really too bad they FA system kicks in so early in the CFL. 3 seasons is just not enough to evaluate and mold the player. A "franchise" like tag could potentially help retain players for longer periods of time. I guess no matter what though, if you don't have a good team, you can't expect to retain your players without throwing ridiculous amounts of money at them.

Not really surprising. If I were a free agent I would definitely want to see what was offered in the open market. Add in the fact that the team is just drifting aimlessly this year, and I wouldn't be in a rush to sign before hand.

How about we try options C and D? Would love to see Boltus and the new guy get some snaps in game. This fringe possibility of playoffs this year is probably hampering QB evaluation more than we know.

Trade off anyone who is a FA for an upgrade or player we can build around. No point just letting these guys walk away and getting nothing in return.

Trade Matthews for whatever we can get for him. IMO we can find a receiver like this easily, but finding a good OL, or a standout NI defensive player is much more difficult. All these recent moves have me all trade happy....

I want to see Pencer !!!!! Come on coaches, get him into a game. This whole deal we have going on of sitting guys 2 years before they get into a game is fraying my nerves (ie. Etienne / Pencer).

At this point with the OL any move should be seen as progress. Even if it just pushes other players to get better, we should hopefully improve.

Unfortunate to see Woodson go, but I guess being injured for the better part of your tenure here doesn't help the case for sticking around. Best of luck Mr. Woodson, welcome to Winnipeg Mr. Parenteau

I suspect there might be something else going on with this trade, like a handshake agreement on something else further on.... Just the pessimist in me, but the trade just doesn't make sense for me.

For real, I was happy after the win..... But I am ecstatic after the trade. The media is going to be peeing themselves in happiness over all the positives to write about. .... until it comes to light that Goltz's knee injury is far far worse than any of us suspected (just a prediction). I was all for Buck in year one, marvelled at his fearlessness, willingness to take a hit to make a play..... but that excitement went away as the injuries ramped up, and the production went down. Who knows, the move to BC behind a better OLine might re-ignite his career. Best of luck Buck in the future.

If he really wanted to jab at Mack, he would have traded us Westerman for Buck LOL

"That's what I'm thinking... does Poblah have enough value to someone? He's the one I'd be most willing to lose. " And here we all thought that Buck had zero value..... so Poblah must be worth something to someone !

Really impressed. Clutch reception when we really really needed it.

Etienne maybe? Who else is an upcoming FA?

Move one out with an O-Lineman for an upgrade at O-Line.... Geez this team went Cdn receiver happy the past couple years. Drafted them like crazy. Should have a solid base if even half turn out.
