  1. you know what that poll proves... only Bomber and Rider fans are voting... I'm not sure what's more laughable... Elimimian and Bighill combining for only 7% of the vote or Brackenridge getting 37% of votes.... It was the same for the 'best hands' poll. Dressler won over Denmark with S.J. Green getting less than 10% of the vote. SJ Green has awful hands. The fact that him and Bowman were even in that poll was laughable. SJ Green has awful hands? Isn't he the ridiculous catch master and in the running for most spectacular reception like every single year? Bowman had bad hands in Winnipeg - it was REALLY unfortunate that we had to cut him because of all the drops since he's figured something out in Edm and is IMO one of the best receivers in the league ATM
  2. Surpise, surpri......not really. At least it wasn't his leg...
  3. On the contrary that eliminates the QB sprint to the corner. You can't lump Marve in with Goltz that easily. For all of Goltz's faults... he was actually pretty money in the redzone (just couldn't actually get the ball into the redzone)
  4. I appreciate you for going to practice and sharing this knowledge with us. I dunno... I figure Friesen will be there and offer excellent examination of what happens at practice... why would I need anyone else
  5. Isn't the other board for all intents 100% dead now/?
  6. You can still challenge PI calls during the last 3 minutes
  7. Keep him away from Watson during practice. do tell? He injured Watson at practice once (in 2013 I believe)... Watson was out 4 weeks or so... and holy **** did Burke ever throw West under the bus immediately after it happened
  8. Wait... everyone is picking my pick this week Adarius Bowman
  9. I just don't understand how Lirim is missing so many converts and yet obviously showing he is rather capable on field goals
  10. Hrmm... well it paid off picking a player who was actually on a team playing this week
  11. Is it just me or does it seem like Picard's snaps are consistently low It seemed like the running plays would take longer than necessary to get started because of Willy having to bring the ball up to the RB's arms after juggling because of a lowish snap
  12. As I've made clear I'm no fan of Brohm, but on the other hand, it could also be a credit to the coaching in Montreal for Cato's success by good game-planning, while Brohm's poor performance was based in the bad play-calling of our OC. Brohm was bad, but the plays he was forced to run were just awful too. Brohm missed several wide open passes where he had time and space to deliver the ball properly...
  13. Just as a counter-point to the "obviously TKO'd Willy" - from personal experience with a semi-serious head to arm collision playing Ultimate (my head, other dudes arm... totally my fault for loss of body control) Collision happened, loud enough smack that people across the field heard it - broke both bones in the guy I hit's forearm. Immediately after the collision I flopped back onto the ground and was pretty motionless while I was kind of internally checking myself to see if I had hurt anything (also trying to get my contact lense back onto my eyeball by blinking). Everybody on my team thought I had been knocked out cold until they got closer (I.E. some bombers on the field could easily think he had been knocked out while he was really just staying still because his neck felt hurt and he wanted the med staff there to check it out)
  14. D was a problem... but 2 pick 6 + a returned punt = 21 points 35 points against is still bad... but then didn't we also have a turnover deep in our own zone that also lead to a TD (28 points given up when TiCats actually had to move the ball.... not great, not so bad that we should be tearing our hair out)
  15. I actually had Greenwood on there ahead of Hurl but I thought people would freak out because he hasn't actually played in the CFL much yet. But I expect him to be a top Canadian LB this year for sure. I considered Durie but he's such a bandaid. But he is so unreal good when healthy... although I guess that's why we were all OK with losing Watson
  16. and while Taman had Khari Jones and Glenn-2007 we "should" have won two Grey Cups The first we lost on Westwood's foot and the team not playing up to their potential The second our all-star QB got injured in the game before the cup and we still came damn close to winning with a complete rookie whose playing career never went anywhere. Taman's BB teams were always boom and bust... but he did Boom on occasion.
  17. People have been saying that for a few years now. I think he makes the team again for the simple reason that he's shown himself able to be an in game fill in at RB if needed and obviously does enough on special teams to be kept around. In other words, he's a good depth NI and those guys keep their jobs very often. You absolutely cannot ignore his value on special teams
  18. Oh ease up surgeon general.. Its a horrible drug but its no meth,heroin, krocodile, oxy or even mdma.. The fact he is injecting it tho tells me he has an addictive personality and probably stuggles mightily with addictive substances.. Hopefully he gets the help he deserves.. Wouldn't lump in MDMA with that. Pure, pharmaceutical MDMA -- the stuff developed by Bayer in the '20's, not the garbage street drug or Molly -- is being considered as a (highly controlled) psychotherapy drug for its ability to break down psychological treatment barriers. Fascinating stuff. If the Feds in the US would get out of the way there is really convincing research that MDMA could make chronic PTSD a thing of the past. Then again... a lot of illegal drugs have other potential uses that gets blocked by their illegality - low dose LSD (daily dose of a 1/10 of a regular hit) is apparently (their is a big subculture experimenting with medical uses) a much better solution to ADD/ADHD. It resolves the attention issues without turning the kid into a zombie like ritalin.
  19. Denmark has played better with Moore on the field. I THINK that Denmark has difficulty getting open when guys have extra help
  20. It's funny because removing special teams probably makes the chances that these guys will be able to get picked up WAY lower since so many marginal picks are taken in part for special teams
  21. What happened to Martell Mallett... he was sick in his first game
  22. If there is anything Winnipeg has enough of it is parking. It seems evident to me that something like the smart park with numerous research heavy businesses setting up shop and working with the university (both raising the profile of the university and offering more opportunities for its students/graduates - not to mention revenue) is a hell of a lot better than having a bunch of asphalt.
