M.O.A.B.

now who plays Safety? Sherman? Alexander?

I hope Troy Smith plays, his LEFT KNEE problem will probably limit his ability to scramble effectively against our D. He might think that his knee is safer inside the pocket since once he try to scramble... ...our guys can tackle him lower and he might find himself on the shelf after the game. Limit their run game (Whitaker) and let Smith try to beat Etch pass heavy D in the air.

It's early for a GIF thread. Lol.

Herb Zurkowsky @HerbZurkowsky1 Troy Smith has removed the tape from his knee and has a helmet on - but isn't practising.

Paul Wiecek ✔ @PaulWiecek Cordaro Howard taking first team reps at LG again this morning #bn

Herb Zurkowsky @HerbZurkowsky1 #Als' QB Troy Smith has his left knee taped up now and isn't running the offence. He was, earlier. Smith, of course, had knee issues @ camp.

Man, you fast.

Btw Mike, it's true there's a new player, a DB ? What's the name?

My guess is that a 3 import OL means Leggett would lose his job to a Canadian. This would only work if Alexander is back healthy. I hope not Leggett. I can think of Sherman starts over Sears (or Dunn), then Unamba will sit in favor of a backup Canadian (Alexander or Norris LB/DE?). So in summation... 7 Canadian starters are : Morley, Neufeld, Kohlert, Feoli-Gudino, Thomas, Sherman and Bucknor. 4 DIs are: Kuale, Sears/Dunn, Anderson and Woods

Montreal have vets and sophomores as starters in their line-up except for 1 of the CB spot. CB Chris Smith will likely out this week for possible concussion so it's either a rookie international player will man that position or one of their national defensive backs. Willy need to be careful of his ball placement against their secondary.

I'm riding on Grigsby's back.

Modified my picks to get the 2 top running backs in the CFL currently.

CFL News @CFL_News Huge blow to the #Esks and their starting Can Con: DL Don Oramasionwu out for season w/ ruptured patellar tendon. #CFL

I think that they do think Howard is better, which is why Howard is on the main roster and Jones is collecting P/R pay. Who on the Lions would we want that is worth a spare part from our international OL depth? I can't see Wally giving us much, other than maybe giving us Poblah back. Watching Kito drop that perfect KG rainbow pass that fell right into his arms had me twitching as I had flashbacks to the last three years of watching him do that for us. I wouldn't mind a conditional draft pick next year.

I see an opportunity to trade with the Lions with their OL woes, maybe we can send them Jarvis Jones, if the coaches thinks Cordaro Howard is better than him.

And to think the score difference is 2 TD away? If it's like 40-9 I will understand the sentiment but... oh man, what a crybaby.

i find this funny... http://www2.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=ad884c85-2555-4c07-86af-702309126b9e Philips is a crybaby.

one less weapon.

Maybe Taman is picking up Banks from the streets.

From what I saw late last game, they moved Neufeld to LG, Morley stays at C, and put Goosen at RG and the protection got better from there. I got a feeling that's what they gonna do this week or Swiston at RG instead, and Goosen stays as the #6 OL.

I'm very much agree with this. Regarding the protection for the QB, I suggest to add an additional Nat'l OL on the gameday lineup. That could probably gave us the proper contingency in case an OL goes down during the game instead of dressing Thomas as an extra OL. It will also enable us to utilise Knapp as TE in some snaps. we could take off one of the National 'MLB' as a trade off.

Player of the Week guesses... Offense = Ricky Ray Defense = John Bowman Special Teams = Demond Washington Canadian = Andre Durrie or Anthony Coombs

Swiston is on the 46 and will be in the 44 if Greaves can't go. We have Quinn on PR. It's remain to be seen if Wylie can make a stud OL from these 2 guys.
