http://3downnation.com/2017/10/24/intriguing-names-in-the-mix-to-be-next-alouettes-head-coach/ "...Sources say Stampeders defensive coordinator DeVone Claybrooks could be a front-runner for the position while Bombers offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice is also high on the list. There will be others..."

apparently he suffered a significant injury......depending on recovery, could be back in camp next spring. This seems like a paperwork move....

QB is 6'3" 220lb Phillip Nelson..........Straughan has agreed to a futures contract, so he'll be back next year.

Abu Conteh and Josh Straughn both cut........also added a new QB along with the aforementioned DE.........

you know why he was playing DB on the weekend, right? Other than he's a crazy, self-absorbed attention *****?

repeat ad nauseum: These are not moves for this year. It's about getting a jump on TC next year....seeing who's worth bringing back next spring.......also, ALWAYS trying to get better at every position. Always bring in more talent across the board.

I was just thinking, the "Grey Cup Tournament", as it were, feels wide open right now....absolutely no clue who might win, East or West....

If the key to the Riders season is needing info on the Bombers from TJ Thorpe, then those assholes are in bigger trouble than anyone thought...

My concern is our players thinking "we have zero chance of losing". That's the biggest thing I'm taking out of post-game comments after the Argos loss. Players were phoning things in. Nichols had a line about "We can't think we're going to beat everyone on our talent, alone...." I think there's guys who aren't focused and aren't treating every game like a playoff game. If you're not dialed in every snap, every game....nearly every team in the league can beat you.

Nichols has been the best QB in the league this year. Do not compare him to either of those guys...

Interesting quote from Nichols in the post game remote.... Said they did a lot of little things wrong, with one example being that they lined up wrong for the final play before the kick (a 1 yd Harris run) and if they'd done that simple thing properly, they'd have had a bigger gain and made the kick that much easier. It sounded like a lot of the team just had their heads up their asses and weren't sharp.

Mike was mentioning that on Twitter... I'm curious if that's part of things...

Esks in OT. Disgusting.

Just awful... We can't have nice things....

Nothing like backing in thanks to the ineptitude of others....

I'm enjoying this so far.... Keep it up, Leos!!

Medlock is in a BAD place.... That's all that matters right now. Everyone chill....

Cjob pre game sounds like Bombers LB rotation is gonna be pretty crazy. Big group of guys that'll play all 3 LB positions over the course of the afternoon...

So it's Nevis sitting with Foketi.... Man I hate sitting one of those DTs. Better Nevis than Poop, but still.... Christ.

thought he had a really solid game, and stood out in all the right ways...

So is BLM really hurt or what? *edit* Dickenson says he got his bell rung and they checked him for concussion but he thinks he'll be fine...

I pray that guy looks every bit the ******* we know he is....

I love both of those so much... Well done, gents. A rare tip if the cap from me for something funny on the intertubes...

And Gudino does, too, fwiw...I'd think most any DB/REC would be able to, in a pinch...
