We also can't forget the comment Burke made about wanting to cut Dan West but not having a replacement. I don't disagree with his statement, but its pretty hypocritical coming from him.

If thats the case they got exactly what they deserved. They = ??? Sorry, the ''victim(s)?''.

Go Okanagan Sun go!!! Theo Deezar future BC Lions starting Quarterback.

If thats the case they got exactly what they deserved.

Not that I'm against being optimistic, but really which one of those guys do you even see on the roster next year?

I never want to see Boatman play another down again. We might as well as give Pencer a shot at this point.

If Foster is going to draw into the starting line up, who sits? Etienne or Kohlert? I like them both and don't think either one should be on the bench. If we can lock up Foster, Etienne and Kohlert in the off season(aren't they all due to become free agents?) I could see us moving Cory Watson.

however Durant did also get sacked 8 times... Perhaps you're guilty of remembering the times Durant was able to get away and for Goltz you're more focussed on the times he was caught. But Durant was back to pass a hell of a lot more. Goltz got sacked 7 times on 15 pass attempts, thats horrific.

Hard to even say we lost any of those trades. I didn't realize Brink originally came from the Hamilton neg list.

Us benching his brother wouldn't bode well for our chances of re-signing Henoc IMO. Probably the main reason why Cauchy is still starting.

Goltz has played against three tough defenses(Calgary, BC, Sask) while Hall had one below average game against a mediocre Hamilton D. It'll be interesting to see what Goltz can do against the piss poor Eskimos.

I have a bad feeling Henoc is going to leave at the end of the year(one of the reasons I don't really want Cauchy benched).

I'll go with Goltz.

So who do you sit then? Denmark? Edwards? Sims-Walker? Aaron Kelly? I vote none of the above. Instead lets start an import at Safety. Denmark had a good game, but I would still sit him or Sims-Walker to play Etienne, Kohlert and Watson together.

I actually completely forgot about him. He can't seem to stay healthy anyways.

Behind Shawn Gore and Marco Iannuzzi on the depth chart.

I thought Cauchy Muamba had a good game today. I don't think you can really say anyone on Defense was a bum today. You can throw the entire offense sans Aaron Kelly under the bus though.

He played decently last week as well, but boy oh boy he sure made some incredible catches today.

Mitchell - Not a great starter yet, but hes adequate for now and will probably be the man in Calgary next year. IMO he'll be the best QB in the league within a couple of years. Reilly - Above average player but Inconsistent at best, needs to learn how to play four Quarters. Really needs to prove that he can be a winner in this league, hard to tell how good he is as BC made him look better than he is and Edmonton has made him look worse. A bit overrated IMO, but he would still be our best Quarterback. Collaros - Good young player with a lot of potential, but as with all young Quarterbacks he has good days and his bad. It should be interesting to see what kind of career he has in this league and I wouldn't be surprised if he was here next season. Willy - Haven't personally seen as much of him, but aside from Collaros hes probably the only young guy we realistically have a chance at bringing in next year. Looks like a solid backup and could turn out to be a quality starter. Marsh - Fresh rookie to the CFL and hes managed to win a couple of games, but he looks like a worse version of Joey Elliot with all those turnovers. At least he has room to improve, and probably time with the lack of other options in Montreal. Goltz - Good runner, and he has everything you look for except accuracy. Thankfully, that is something that can be developed and progressed over time and he could become more than the gimmick Quarterback he is now. Being only 26 years old and in his fourth year in the league is definitely huge for him. Hall - Not much of a runner but definitely a better pass than Goltz. I don't think he has the ability to be a quality starter, but he could probably be a serviceable backup for a couple of years. LevFevour - Hasn't even started a game yet, but he might be the man in Hamilton next year depending on what Burris does. Not much I can personally say about him. Nichols - Looked like he was a decent Quarterback who could win games, but injuries have already derailed his career.

Those things are gorgeous. I would love for us to use them on a full time basis.

Wow we went from having Brock Ralph and Aaron Hargreaves to Watson, Etienne, Kohlert, Foster and Poblah. If we trade anyone I hope its Watson or Poblah and not the Regina boys.

The Esks would be better off with Palardy.

I still think him calling Dave Stala one of the most ''dominant receivers'' in the CFL even more bizarre.

This is the same stupid reasoning people used to bring in Buck Pierce. Have people learned nothing in the last four years?

So obviously our 1-8 team doesn't have a lot going for us, and it seems every discussion we have is about whats wrong(and theres obviously plenty) but I just want to discuss whats going right for the team this year. The things I currently see as positives are... Alex Hall has been an absolute monster at DE Our three top Canadian receivers; Watson, Kolhert and Etienne have all impressed, especially the development of the latter two. The SAM linebacker spot actually seems to be an improvement over last year with Desia Dunn Demon Washington playing better than Hefney did last year IMO. Terrance Edwards playing better than he has in the last few years, hes really making tough catches and leaving it all out on the field this year.
