sweep the leg

Yes, it did just happen to come together for them. That's what makes your statement about Koch making the entire play work and Reilly owing him dinner so odd.

Koch stood there and caught the ball when it landed in his lap. Once he got to the endzone he didn't even have to move to catch it. http://video.tsn.ca/?dl=cfl-latest/latest/1/0/952335/clip/342 (45 sec mark)

Yeah, he looked alright to me too. Same with that Reilly guy...

There are a handful of guys/positions I'm most interested in. Markett, obviously, b/c it sounds like he's in the lead position for a di spot. The guys at de are all fighting for the second di on defence. Frazier probably goes to the pr., if he makes the team, b/c we'll already have 4 DT's on the 42. Whichever extra will lb we keep may have a chance at the 46. My guess is Wendel Brown. There hasn't been much talk about the 3rd import RT fighting for that spot. I'd like to know how he's doing, & if he has a legitimate shot at a job with the team. Of course the NI's too. Pencer & Etienne are the two obvious ones I hope do well.

I'm guessing whomever doesn't start between Morley & Swiston will stay on the 46 at least.

I'm pretty sure you'd take a bullet for Mack if necessary. If our qb situation falls apart again this season there's no way he can avoid responsibility for it.

The play of the guys we kept will be more important in determining the soundness of this move than what Hefney does elsewhere.

We do for players we think we have capable replacements for on the roster.

Agreed. I've never wanted to see a player do well more than Etienne, just for the pure joy of rubbing the noses of people I don't know in it.

Bamba went in the 6th round, so it's not really the same thing.

I wish he would have just done what he was asked and played nickel. The team would be much better off for it. I also wish Mack & Burke had sorted this out with him before they paid him $35k for a couple weeks of training camp.

Can't tell if you're being serious...

I didn't know all of this. I used to read the cfl forum so I remember who that is. He used to make jokes about Lyle Bauer's cancer. I've always thought that the guy(s) behind those other aliases were idiots, but now I know he's a complete ***hole too.

That's b/c they'll hit them no matter how long the ball has been gone.

Wiecek just tweeted that Burke said Etienne isn't just competing for a roster spot anymore, he's battling Poblah for the starting job.

Really? What did they do with the extra bikes? That's my plan for the next game. I guess I'll come early to make sure I get one.

One thing I noticed about Hall was that he tends to stare down his receiver. Otherwise I thought he was ok. I only saw a couple of series for Clement, but questions about his arm strength aren't going to go away. The pick he threw on that deep throw came down flat and basically straight down. I guess on the bright side at least all of this year's qb's can throw a spiral. I hope Goltz gets at least a half next week. He kinda got screwed on playing time yesterday. I'd like to see he & Hall play the entire game.

I saw a guy in my section walk out with a Stella, so they must sell them somewhere outside the suites. I wasn't impressed with the host either, but I'll give him a chance to get better. Thank God it wasn't Carson instead...

No kidding. We'd all be great prognosticators in we waited until the season was over.

Toronto 10-8 Winnipeg 10-8 Montreal 8-10 Hamilton 7-11 BC 11-7 Sask 10-8 Cal 10-8 Edm 6-12 MOP- Durant MODP- BIghill MOC- Muamba MOST- Owens MOR- Does Parker count as a rookie? MOL- Olafioye

You can't just cut an NHL'er and be done with him like you can in the CFL.

I agree with those who say him keeping quiet about it is the biggest problem. It'll be interesting to see how this ends.

I forgot to mention him, but I completely agree with you. Cortez taking over for Dyce is a huge upgrade.

I think their OL will be much better this season. They're all good players. but I think last year was the first time any of them had ever played together before, and it showed. A year of familiarity should really help them out. An improved OL will make the entire offense better, especially Durant, who's already better than what Calgary & Edmonton have. Sheets is a top notch rb & the receiving corp. should be improved this season. I also like the moves they made on D this offseason. Chick, Foley, Anderson (as long as he's at corner, not db), and Weldon are all nice upgrades for them. They have to show they can do it on the field together, but on paper their D looks much improved.
