Gotta love how MOS defends his players in public...they're gonna love this guy.

Think Dan West is really underestimated by this board.  All that we know about him is that he KO'd Watson in practice last year and Watson missed games because of it.
 
Dude's still on the team for a reason, and he can play teams.

Etch had some great plays drawn up to get pressure on frito.. It was nice to see him look unpolished for once..
Moe leggett is "that" safety we have been waiting for.. Plays very confident back there for a cfl rookie and hits like a beast.. Secondary was excellent as a whole as well with very nice coverage and some solid step up coverage by LBs..

WINNIPEG 93 TORONTO 2 (we concede a safety out of pity)
 
DREW WILLY 38 of 39 (he threw one into the stands to try and hit a guy harassing an innocent female and broke the guy's arm with the toss) for 912 yards and 8 touchdowns
 
NIC GRIGSBY 377 yards rushing
 
ZACH ANDERSON 12 sacks
 
RICKY RAY 1/22 12 interceptions -7 yards passing
 
CHRIS RANDLE 6 interceptions, 6 more tipped balls to other teammates for interceptions

Jim Daley doesn't get a mention in there?

Can we agree that this was a case of a very lame horse being ridden by a very bad jockey?

The problem with Hall isn't a lack of arm strength .. the problem with Hall is that he puts too much trust in an arm that's barely suited to the CFL field .. you don't need a cannon to succeed .. but you do have to play within yourself and be smart with how you attack your opponent .. sometimes you see him trying to force balls in windows or make throws he's only barely able to complete.

I have zero problem with a guy taking money if he needs it while in college. The money the NCAA makes off of your name is robbery. 

Do we actually need more 'leadership' - we have Banks, Alexander, Randle, Vega pretty much locked in...  Suber, Sears are still in the mix
 
Here's a crazy idea, how about Terrell Parker for MLB...

After watching the team roll over and die at the first sign of adversity last season I just want to see a team that battles hard from start to finish week in and week out. 

Is it too early to be whining about our DC who hasn't even had a chance to do ANYTHING yet with this new group of players?

Your - Is that your dictionary over there?
You're - You're wrong again - as in You are
Ur - for the lazy
Yore - for the middle ages (do we have people here that old?)
 
This concludes our discussion on Your, You're, Yore and Ur!

LOL nice one.  Great, now I have that Wild Wild West song stuck in my head.

Is that similar to championship Austria or Romania?

We're used to having a mediocre backup-worthy QB start and a REALLY bad QB back him up.  When you cycle through all three QBs on your roster (And then additional QBs later in the season) you don't get any closer to finding out what needs to be fixed.
 
With Glenn either starting or on the bench, we at least have a tried and true, seasoned vet available.  Granted, he doesn't like the cold and doesn't like to get hit so we might not see too much of him, but at least we get the summer games to enjoy.

I think you're confused with the part where they have Friesen on the show.

If by lead you mean the chemical element, whereby, lead reporter means he's capable of "killing" a story with the angle he chooses to write, then I would agree with your point.
The fact is, in an analogy, that if Lawless were our starting or 'lead' QB, we would not settle for this mediocrity, but rather would demand a change.
He is the Steven Jyles of writers, when we really want the Tom Clements or Khari Jones.
Just because he "is" where he is doesn't mean he should be.

Meh, Lawless has a point, but as usual in the rare instances he actually knows what he's talking about, still manages to throw enough crap in it that the effect diminishes.

I think the MD hate mostly comes from his line on why he took Kolhert, "take a look at there roster," since he was a FA. Although many agree he was probably right you are not going to allow an outsider to take pot shots.

To me it's all about how those yards come. I'd rather a guy pick up 60 yards a game with a longest run being 15 yards than a guy picking up 60 yards when there's a 30 or 40 yard run in there. Just a preference on my part. Same reason I was less sold on Fred Reid compared with some people. Preference for someone who can grind it out at the position as opposed to the big play guy. 

All right. Well then, here's to all the success in the world for Mr. Dahlquist. I think the bigger story here is that we actually hired a QB coach. Even if they had hired Troy Kopp or Russ Michna, at least it is somebody the QB's have on the sidelines to talk to rather than just walking off the field after yet another two and out to sit on the bench and wonder whether they'd be better off working in a Target in Oklahoma than being here in this foreign land with no support whatsoever.

I could find quite a few ways to criticize our coaching staff but I'm not sure that a lack of CFL experience would be one of them.
 
On offense, our OC has 5 years experience as a CFL OC, our WR coach has 3 years as a CFL WR coach and our short list for OL coach includes very experienced candidates.
On the defensive side of the ball, our DC has 6 years experience as a CFL DC, our DB coach has 4 years as a CFL DB coach and our DL coach has 2 years as a CFL DL coach. That's quite a bit of experience for those positions.
The least experience comes on ST, where our HC has a good amount of experience.

Incompleterson sure earned his nickname.

I'm going to personally buy you a blow up doll and tape Tate's head to it and you can go to town. Maybe then you'll shut up about him.

I was a fan of Jones' play last year...that could just be the relief at not seeing Boatman in there. I'd wouldn't mind if Jones was back to start the season.
