Here's the weird thing about Hajrullahu as a punter. He is awesome at the coffin corner punts, so why would he suddenly become unable to aim his punts properly when he is further out from the opposing endzone? That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe that's a failure of the coaches because he clearly has the ability to punt directionally in some situations.

That's what I saw... CFL capgeek is a total joke. People need to stop citing it. It is not even close to accurate.

I think we'll be seeing an Eastern team crossover for the first time.

Hurl can backup Muamba for the rest of the year then be released. Or we could start two Canadian linebackers and 3 or 4 Americans on the OL.

What hope do we have? Nichols has thrown the most picks in the league (including 5 in his last 3 games as an Esk) playing in an offense he was familiar with. And we think he's going to come in and save our offense now? He'll go downfield more than Brohm, sure. But who knows whose hands the ball is going to end up in,

I like that.EDIT: that was apparently a typo. Derrell Johnson was scratched, not Bruce. Ah OK that makes sense.

Bastien and Bruce Johnson are the scratches today according to Bombers twitter...?

Don't you mean spreading doom and broom?

You keep saying Top 5 like it means something. So who are the top 5 in your opinion?

I think Sheamus makes a decent heel, I like some of the stuff he's been doing lately. But like you guys I was surprised to see him win MITB. I think that this will be a rare "failed" cash-in when he eventually cashes in the briefcase.

Don't be so negative. We could still pick 10th.

Dammit!!

Never put your faith in a guy named Tyler.

"Friends" is a relative term. If two people know each other, that doesn't automatically make them friends. And if it does, you'd be hard-pressed to find many working relationships in the CFL that didn't start that way, with someone hiring someone else that they are familiar with. O'Shea was a senior at Guelph when Walters came in as a rookie, and they were on opposite sides of the ball (Walters was an RB at the time). They played a grand total of one season together in Hamilton.

Good enough for me

I can't count how many times I've read the statement "He can't possibly be worse..." on these forums and then we learn what worse really looks like.

You wouldn't even see a star QB come in and start after 2 practices and Nichols is no star. Unfortunately Brohm is our best option this week.

I don't put that on CC. Look at Chapdelaine's past work as an OC and he always neglects the running backs. I remember Andrew Harris was rumoured to be pissed off about it a couple years back.

What do you think of Cesaro? I have mixed feelings. Awesome wrestler but doesn't seem to have the personality.He's not allowed to have a personality. He's being squashed to push Kevin Owens. Andre The Giant had absolutely no personality yet he was famous. Cesaro has ten times the ability of Owens. KO is a damn good wrestler. Talk about the anti-Vince McMahon type. Does not have the look whatsoever but man can he put on a show. I'm liking this Owens-Cesaro rivalry. I'm not a KO fan. I think he's okay but not better than a lot of guys on the roster. I don't think he's a Top 5 elite guy. He's a talented mid carder getting a push from Triple H. That pop up power bomb he uses isn't on him. His opponent has to actually do the move & sell it. To me, it looks so obvious. Yeah, I would agree, not top 5 at all. He'd be a guy I'd like to see going after the U.S. Title or maybe get him on a team looking for the Tag Titles. Maybe a competitor for the Intercontinental title... maybe. I do like his personality though, he makes a good heel. I'd agree with the pop-up powerbomb comment.

Based on what? I get the argument that you believe he's being held back but if he has never shown any personality (and he hasn't) then how do you know?

You mean the guy that's taken them to the playoffs for 20 straight years? Shocking that the owner wouldn't get rid of him at the first sign of trouble...

I understand what you're saying about personality but guys still have an innate charisma that you just can't write. Their mannerisms and how they conduct themselves in the ring. Guys with real star power. And Cesaro just don't got it. IMO. I missed Raw this week.

No, cause they just traded it to Hamilton. How do you trade a conditional pick? Or was the only condition that Nichols report here? No, they likely traded their own 7th round pick.

I think that's why teams are so willing to give them up. And if you have a player that you aren't planning on using and whose salary is now guaranteed, why not get that salary off the books and potentially add a Canadian asset?
