  1. As in Keron Williams?  Well they've got him playing DT this year so he doesn't count anymore.  And I think Bowman is on the decline.

     

    Either way, Willis is still up there as a pass rusher, we could debate his other capabilities but he can definitely get after the QB.

  2. and that right there is why a lot of people dislike glenn and I think it's a stupid reason. Guy is just even keeled, but so many fans want to see guys punching holes in the wall and screaming and all that cause that's what a lot of fans feel like doing with each loss. 

     

    Yeah you're right, nothing inspires a team like playing for a total sad-sack loser.

     

    Kevin Glenn will never win a Grey Cup.  Anyone who has been following the CFL for the last decade knows this is true, even if they won't admit it.  He is not a winner.  That's all there is to it, and that's why no one wants to start him despite all the stats that you guys are all fawning over.

  3. Yes. Mostly due to lack of other options, but that's hardly keeping a starting job based on your own merits. In games last year and the year before, if Joey Elliot were the starter and Buck Pierce were the green QB who came in in relief, Buck would have been the one released due to poor play and Elliot would be the maligned "below-average" starter.

     

    Comparing Elliott to Pierce is laughable.  Elliott wasn't even close.  Pierce wins games, Elliott loses them.  It's not a coincidence.  If it had been Pierce coming in in relief he would not have gone 2-7, and that's really all there is to it.

  4. Fair enough.

     

    I don't know what Ottawa's strategy is going to be for this expansion draft, but if it were me I'd be going after established veteran Canadians rather than prospects, even if they are a little older.  They will have 7 picks in the 2014 CFL draft and the 4 guys from the 2013 draft as well.  They will have plenty of young talent to work with right off the bat if they draft well.  What they need from the expansion draft is proven guys who can fill the starting roles, even if it's just for a couple years.

  5. Labatte was horrendously overpaid. So far it looks like a terrible deal for Saskatchewan.

     

    Really?  The team is 2-0 with only 3 sacks allowed and they have the league's leading rusher.  They don't look to have any significant weaknesses as a result of 'overpaying'.  What's terrible about that deal?

  6. Do you think every team protects their kickers?

    Does Saskatchewan protect Milo over Shologon, Hennen, Labatte, Waterman, Getzlaff, Butler?

    Does B.C. protect Hugh Oneil over Gore, Harris, Ianuzzi, Kirby Fabian, Matt Norman, Westerman?

    Does Calgary protect Parades over Cornish, Tsoumpas, Jones, Forzani, Fraser, Gott?

    Milo, no, because he's nothing special. But you better believe BC will protect ONeill over Iannuzzi and there is no way in hell Calgary won't protect Paredes.

  7. How quickly we forget Alexis Serna and Troy Westwood.  Yes there's a lot of good kickers in the league right now but that doesn't mean we can just pull one out of our asses on command.  We could lose a starting OL or a starting receiver and have a guy step in right away with the prospects we have.  Kicker, I'm not so sure.
