    league has given up Zach collaros for dead too tho… We’ve seen lots of guys get picked up, mbt for instance, and teams don’t scout domestically nearly as well as they used to. Who was the last tc cut rb to get picked up by a team league wide? Only happens if the team had been scouting the guy prior and didn’t get or gave up his nl. if you think salima isn’t in the league because he can’t play you’ve lost the plot. Ricky ray was drivin truck given up for dead when he signed with Edmonton. 

    You go right on ahead and compare Salima to two of the greatest QB's the CFL has produced haha I won't stop you, but Collaros and Ray were never once cut from any CFL team and even at his lowest point of his career Collaros was still viewed as a good QB with injury issues and was being dealt for conditional picks that eventually led to his Blue and Gold revenge tour. Ricky Ray was driving truck following his college career when he got the call from the 49ers, years before he ever arrived in the CFL. His San Francisco teammates gave him the moniker Frito-Ray. Ricky Ray was playing pro ball in some indoor league for Rick Worman who sent him the CFL's way.

    I like the MBT comparison, since he actually spent time on a CFL PR before being cut and brought in by someone else the following season. Although, he had a pretty high profile for a never-done-nothin QB at his age because of all his NFL stints, so everyone around the league had probably heard of him already, which may account for him getting more chances than others do.

    I'm not saying Salima is no good, same goes for the rest of our recent cuts, they may resurface and we've brought guys back before for second looks too. I'm just saying maybe they aren't as good as we fans like to think/hope they are. Pigrome was our next big up and comer, til he wasn't, and now he can't get a look ahead of Dustin Crum. We fans do like to get ahead of ourselves some times is all

    So this is the "Gravy Bowl" now.  I wonder who came up with that name?  Is it because the people of Vancouver are gravy-drinking inbreds?

    Are any gravy-related activities happening this weekend? Is it poutine week again already?

    I still say Winnipeg Stadium was louder and deafening than IG. Argos had no problems with the noise and handled it rather well with a rookie QB.

    Yes they did well, only 1 procedure call that i remember, but it wiped out a decent chunk of yards and led to a stop iirc (I havent seen the TV replay yet). I like our chances more at home than on the road, any help from the crowd is welcome.

    He can come in for a National 29 times

    Yes for sure the Nationalized American part makes sense. I don't understand how (or why) he would be listed as both NA and DA. What is the benefit or drawback of doing this, if any? I legitimately assumed it was a printing error on their depth chart.

    NA can replace any American for the entirety of the game, or replace a National for 29 plays. A DA can only play teams and replace other Americans. Seems like the two would conflict? I am missing something

    Anyone can do that tho...that's the rub...he isn't super awesome at it..his rostering is pointless and dumb for the role he plays..plain and simple 

    Where else in the league do you see such a waste of a DA... I'll tell u...nowhere

     

    Actually I was wondering one thing, what benefit do the BC Lions get from having Nick Usher as both a Nationalized American and Designated American? Is there any benefit? Either I'm missing something, or it's a waste

     I thought Buck called a pretty conservative game as well. Maybe not wanting to show TO too much? 

    Agreed, and it worked well enough too. Passes to the flats, runs up the gut or occasionally off tackle, the occasional shot downfield (usually we see Schoen and Lawler haul them in, less so tonight), if Collaros showed his usual touch we win by a lot more. Not that it would count for more in the standings or anything.

    I don’t think it was a snoozer just very unsatisfying for a variety of reasons.

    Not a lot of the success on deep strikes we are used to, Lawler was a ghost for a stretch, Collaros overthrowing receivers, no sacks or picks, field goals instead of TDs, lots to be disappointed in, far from a perfect game, but hey, we won! I'll take narrowly beating a backup qb over narrowly losing to a backup qb every time
