Also the Argos secondary looked awful again.. They are lucky that Hamilton dropped all those red zone passes. Also Collaros only can make plays on the run... His wind up is very slow and he can only make screen and shovel passes from the pocket.

200 yards again.... Bo Levi has great protection so much time to throw. He also has great accuracy and receivers who make those highlight catches. Edmonton made the old Bombers mistakes... They went deep three plays in a row to Bowman and he made zero catches. Calgary is the team to beat for sure. Doing this well with a real young qb... They will be good for a long period of time.

Berman was nice and Walbyish (buzzed/drunk) and he had some fun in the booth. Black came off like a noob while Forde looked uncomfortable as all hell.

That's how you know your football team is some kind of bad, when players turn down that kind of money and prefer to go to Regina. Dressler turned down a higher offer from the Stamps as well. So what's your theory now?Chemistry with Durant, familiar surroundings, good relationship with management, playing with a contender. It's that simple. I will go with a lot of under the table money from local businesses as the maim reason.

Yes it is a very bad idea as you would waste 3 quarters trying to tire the guy out meanwhile the Riders run up the score and you lose by a long mile.... also Chick is in good shape and isn't a guy who gasses out.

Insightful as always. I'm glad you picked up on the sarcasm

I'll take a healthy sears at the end of the season. Kuale is meh , its not like opposing teams each rampant on us only because of him. I think it's more so the system then just one guy. Plus he more then likely will late hit Durant putting Sunseri in the game.

Micheal Sam is a name I recognize therefore we should sign him and ignore the 100's of other guys who were drafted higher then him.

Burris isn't the reason..guys like Matt carter dropping routine passes are the issue. Also the horrid penalties killed them. If Burris had Dressler and any other competent receiver it would be a different story.

I don't really care one way or the other about Burris but his contract is another matter. With an established QB on the roster, all the RBs had to do was spend the money they wasted on Burris and acquire FAs. How many could they have acquired? At least 2, probably 3, and they could have been receivers. (Nick Moore for example) Of course Glenn couldn't have done much better but you never know. Being an expansion team, you have to develop a team over time. They had Glenn - develop DeMarco, or at least determine if DeMarco is the way to go. One or two clutch receivers would have helped. Look to the draft and the next Free Agency. IMO, they went to far, too soon when they went all in with Burris, especially when they could easily have lost all those games with Glenn instead. Coaching, well that's another playbook in the writing, isn't it? They offered Dressler 250... They could of paid for Moore if they choose to. What free agents did they miss out on because of lack of budget?

Based on what? He out performed Max Hall who was light years better then Boltus so I fail to see your comparison? I'd assume Brohm would get the start and would do adequate....

imagine if the Blue allowed our guys to fight MMA in the off season!

Crompton has better accuracy then Troy Smith and his release is much faster then Brink, considering he's really only been playing first reps for a week and a bit he's done nicely for himself. I definitely think they should stay with him for the season, he also doesn't panic like Brink and will stay in the pocket and take a hit. SJ Green drops a few passes that he shouldn't.... Whitaker fumbles in the end zone for no reason... Als could of really rolled on the Redblacks. I don't really blame Burris, his throws are not that in accurate.... I do think the play calling is the craps for them. They are very plain jane and dont' give the ball to Walker much and should go vertical much more. The penalties really killed Ottawa early on.... they had at least 5 major penalties in the first half that continued drives and allowed Montreal to move the ball. The Redblacks definitely stunk it up and I don't see them doing anything this season.... I also don't understand the hate for Burris and his contract? Do you think Glenn would do any better with this cast of characters? He would be on the ground crying or lobbing plenty more ints if he was in Ottawa. Burris and his fat contract are not the reason for Ottawa stinking.... they need better receivers and better coaching IMO.

Boooo I wanted them to cry about losing him

I'd be happy if he doesn't play for the Riders... I'd love to see how they bury him!

This is the Argos. They are probably waiting for some over the hill big name receiver to get cut from the NFL so they can sign him. Andre Rison 2.0. Making room for Ochocinco?

Anderson took a lot of bad penalties, Sinkfield dropped lots of passes and was doing nothing on returns, Slaton and Steele simply are better players.... Also dropping salary to make a pitch for Dressler....

Damn shame indeed..the guy looked good.

Players don't care about playing for a losing team... If it came to living in Ottawa or Regina clearly Ottawa is much nicer. I hope the Blue sign Dressler he's a game changer. They could always move Denmark or Moore if need be

I think Dressler is going to Ottawa for a boat load of money ..... Montreal may throw some cash also... Very little odds of the Blue signing the guy... they already put a lot down for Moore so I doubt they'd put more money for another receiver.

I don't see the big deal , if anything I applaud them. Anything that advertises and promotes the CFL is good in my books. It was also in good taste so why not?

I'll take Dressler over Hall....

How would Saskatchewan be able to pay for him after signing so many guys. The Blue should have the most play money in the league with Ottawa a close 2nd.

It wasn't like he's beating a tonne of teams with his arm lately

Ottawa game - Burris has checked out big time.... that defense played big but was to tired by the end. Contrary to what Goalie said the game was close up until the last quarter when the D gassed out. I think DeMarco should get a start.... Burris needs his ego put in check and that offense needs something new. BC Sask game - I can't believe BC lost to Tino Sunseri lol... in fairness the guy didn't look all that bad out there. BC sucks at stopping the run and they let this game get away... Tim Brown gave them fantastic field position all night and Glenn naturally couldn't finish any of his drives. He started off hot... got hit and was completely out of rhythm. I think Glenn would of been toast in Ottawa had he stayed and I think he's worn out his welcome in BC now also. Riders D had nice pressure... still not sold on their secondary. Clearly they can run the ball and throw the odd one to Getlaf.... We can only hope that the Blue actually can stop the run for once....
