  1. I think Edmonton's defense will overwhelm the Riders patchy OL. 33-17 Elks.
  2. Ticats getting humbled in every facet of the game
  3. Poor roster management to dress a punter and not even use him
  4. The offence is just so good. No team can even hope to match the chemistry
  5. Jim Barker trying to explain the new roster rules is killin me
  6. The rosters are pretty limited. Nobody is deep in Canadian players. We start OL, RB, DT and receivers and we have multiple backups at all those spots except RB. I don't see anyone carrying more than 2 or 3 Canadians on their practice rosters.
  7. McMahon is such a dump. Can't they sneak a stadium into that multi-billion dollar sports complex they're building?
  8. Let's watch football and eat nachos and drink beer
  9. The name Lawler is suspiciously close to the word lawyer. Could that be related?
  10. Wild coincidence that it cleared up just in time for training camp to end
  11. It's honestly bizarre to me. Bringing in so few LB prospects and playing Maruo so much is indefensible. It's hard to complain too much when our leadership is so successful but it really feels like they are losing their edge this year. I liked the comment earlier in this thread about Wally Buono cutting players at this point in their careers and we haven't seen O'Shea cut one of "his guys" in awhile. Coming off a 15-3 season it's impossible not to predict a regression but the question is whether this is a 12-6 team or a 9-9 team. Injuries will play a role.
  12. I share some of the same worries and I think there's some validity to it. O'Shea has a veteran bias but I personally still trust him to make the right call. The LB recruitment crop was weak. Cole and Clements aren't good enough. We know this. Couple this with Bighill being old and unable to practice and we have some trouble in the LB corps. Yes Biggie is a vet but he needs to practice. Briggs isn't a starter. I do really like Gauthier however. The DL should be fine. I have no concerns with Jefferson and Jeffcoat. Ricky Walker deserves a shot at starting but Caleb Thomas is right there ready to take his spot. I look at that as a scouting win. Haba won the 3rd DE spot and I have no reason to hate on that. He came in late and played well. He won the job we all knew was available. One spot I echo some concerns is with the RB situation. I don't like that Oliveira already gets the country club treatment in camp and Augustine clearly isn't a starter so we have some weakness there. In some ways I feel like we're dictating our rosters based on Andrew Harris being our RB but we could let go...there are options in that spot. Overall I look at our roster and see a dominant lineup. The OL is strong unless Bryant and Neufeld really fall off a cliff. The receiving corps is dynamite. I'm not sold on BOLO yet but as a backup Canadian he is well above average. The defence is going to have trouble getting off the field when Willie and Jeffcoat can't get to the QB but I'm feeling pretty good about the roster.
  13. Did the CFL just totally give up on their app and website? We can't we get stats for these preseason games...?
