I'm not knocking the signing, just don't think it's a massive add. Personally I would have taken Brown before him because that guy can dominate a game in a big way. I might even have taken Fletcher over him as well because he is so versatile in both the passing and running game and is 10x the blocker that Carey is. Carey is a consistent runner whose best days are behind him, He probably won't hurt them but I doubt he brings much to the table either. Kevin Brown is the guy they should have gone after. A legit game breaker that defences have to earnestly worry about.

Carey was an excellent running back. but the Argos didn't hesitate to release him and I have to think there was a reason behind it. RB's lose the mileage and speed battle faster than any other players on the field and I have to wonder if his odometer has rolled over.

Ottawa's secondary was 100% bad last year, and this year too. Might not be personnel.

I was pretty involved in the domestic beer marketing for a number of years and no indie brewery has the clout to match dollars with Inbev or Molson/Coors and if an indie gets popular enough they get bought by them. Manitoba has a market in which craft and indie brewers struggle for in house space and don't have the resources to get people tasting their product. Farmery has probably had the most success doing so and their market share is negligible. I don't disagree that our IPAs are awful here, but so are many other provinces. Our hops are kind of ****. Part of Manitobas problem was even getting a brewery going and listed by MLCC. Until 10 years ago it was extremely difficult for our breweries to even get into their stores. That has changed but our breweries are way behind.

He mostly is gone. Not sure who gave him the time of day by retweeting his insanity.

I am in complete agreement. The fascination with killing beer with hops these days is ruining beer. Hops should be a background flavor not smacking you in the head with every sip. A beautiful, smooth, well rounded malted barley with a hint of hops should be the goal...but it isn't. Now it's can you taste the pine and grapefruit.....well yea actually...it's all i can taste....for days afterwards. I actually had to stop drinking IPAs because of my gout. Hops are terrible for gout and nowadays the overwhelming hoppiness of the IPAs just sets it off.

Marty York was a former Sportsnet CFL guy for many years. His epically poor track record of making up rumors and hilariously poor prognosticating eventually embarrassed Sportsnet so much that they had to let him go. Not before he completely destroyed Sportsnet CFL coverage so badly that the company had to give it up almost entirely because of York destroying all credibility. He is EASILY the worst CFL journalist of all time.

Unfortunately Eli is not one of them. I banged his drum for a long time to be starting over Kola, he just fails to seize any chances given to him.

I am kind of glad we have it this year tbh. An extra week to prep in a new offensive system for a QB that has not had a start since early last year with a couple of new receivers can't hurt.

I agree, Eli has to win the job and he clearly has not done so.

Definitely. Milligan was burned a ton in coverage all year but had a ton of interceptions from QBs throwing the ball right into his chest. He wasn't taking balls away in coverage like Ford did, he just happened to be standing in the right spot at the right time for a tip from the DL, or an errant throw.

I hate seeing these institutions go down but I am part of the problem, passed by a 1000x and smiled at the place and the memories but never stopped.

Always 2 sides to the story I guess. Still very tragic tho.

The media was shocked because they are lazy and one of their colleagues told them Myron played well, and they jumped aboard the Myron Mitchell express. Fans surprised? Nope...we pay attention.

Sean Whyte played a significant amount of time under a head coach that would not attempt anything longer than 45 yards.

We should have just gave him the job.

Don't get me wrong, I'm disappointed in a couple moves as well but overall I like it. I don't think we needed to re-invent the wheel with our roster. The biggest changes we made this offseason will pay off once Logan gets healthy and Hogan gets his feet under him. We had a darn good team last year, and appears we will have one again, Our biggest flaws are mostly addressed and imo this is the best looking PR we've had break camp in a while. I get that Thomas and Wilson appear to be weird keeps this year, but at the same time if their play time is reduced I see no problem with keeping either around.

Pretty sure that Munier-Bailey will be on our roster sooner rather than later.

I'm not seeing a lot to bash either. People are complaining about the lack of roster turnover without actually acknowledging that we have had a lot of roster turnover in the past couple of years. Always lots of emotion on cut down day tho, as guys that we have grown attached to from our own internal hype get let go and then we find out we were mostly wrong about them as they never make another team either.

Return game is another reason that D. Mitchell may get the nod. He's no Janarion Grant, but he is miles better than his M. Mitchell.

We've already paid a lot of his salary. What's left owing is basically minimum contract or even slighty less. At this point his salary is a non factor.

D.Mitchell definitely needs to up his game a lot, but it would take a pretty big performance from someone else to see him cut imo.

As he should be...you don't play until you are 49 years old without being hard on yourself, and being able to look at yourself from the outside in.

I think you mean Booch Thomas, as Fatboi is known to his closest friends.

I think game action and TC action both count for sure, but we have the games for a reason. Yes, we've sat guys that needed to knock the rust off, a mistake that looks like it hasn't been repeated this year. Not every player can play his way onto the team in preseason game action but some definitely can and that is especially true in the trenches. The skill guys can be assessed pretty well without game action, but it's tough to see what kind of motors you have competing in your trenches in practice.
