Booch

yup...thats how I remember it as well no...he had a great defence in Mtl as well...when we originally landed him I was pumped for the potential...and as per above response, he had to walk away for family reasons concerning his wife, and never returned, as he was already pushing 80...he was 75 already if not older when he was here now I think about it

he's been out of his boot for a bit...that I know...so he could be close

gotcha....kind of figured that was your angle...and hope....I thought MTL as well would have given up mote of a fight ....guess not

yeah that aura and the just getting swept up in the hoopla is long gone.....it wont effect us, and even if they ride the momo in first 5..8 mins and get a few breaks and get up a couple scores...I have no doubt the remaining 50 mins will be us just re-grouping and taking over...we have 9 days between games to prep....basically a bye week off ourselves, but one where we are actually in house prepping the whole time...if we dont win by 2 scores minimum I will be shocked

we as a team were definately were behind the 8-ball with coaches and players to start out this regimes run....those first 2 yrs were a lot of work and planning to get it right like it is now

Doubt Ottawa will can their new coach after 1 yr.....he gets until this point next yr at minimum

Schoen

yeah, cant see us not leading the league again this yr

I do see hope with Ford...if he can work and improve his in the pocket play...and fix some mechanics...he could be pretty effective

Yup..I don't ..or didnt like the "kid Canada" thing as there are tons of Canadians doing great things in the CFL so that's a slap in their face...who cares what positions they play If a QB tho is to be labeled that it's def Tre Ford..born...bred...trained in Canada

Yeah...that wont help his cause

Yes...then yeah he may need to prove something up here for 2 yrs then....is he a gangly 6'5" ?? Havnt followed him much

Stats don't tell the whole picture...The VAJ has thrown just shy of 800 yards last 2 games...and is 0-2

Rourke will get a good 2 yrs worth of looks first just based on his appearance alone...as he physically looks like a NFL gm's wet dream...then we may see him up here

They were doing that too ..and a couple teams sent in tape/complaints to.the league...and that coincides with the donut shop closing down But still a Howdy Doody looking mf'er

Who cares about the Rourkes to be honest....there are a ton of other canadians showing well in the NFL...and some for yrs now....

And what's his passer rating...I'm sure not up there in top 3

Don't kid ourselves...we already basically clinched lol That was before we had a mentally tough squad...quality vets who weren't me first...and a top teir coaching staff...Labour day ain't what it used to be for the sad sacks...I mean Riders...we can weather any storm and then just pull away I bet they have a tough time getting more than 1 td...and it may just be a return one if we continue with whatever crap scheme we been trying to.force feed down the team throat

I expect we will....and expect nothing less than 2 wins...and both convincingly

To me he actually has shown...especially how he has progressed as of yesterday's game to be the one right now with the best potential...he just looked quasi legit last night...now if he can string together a few more games like that...they may have something there...he seems pretty smart and didn't make the typical forcing things mistakes...be interesting to see him moving forward

Yeah ...that was a dumb rule before and prevented good talent from coming up

They've looked like that pretty much since we took em behind the woodshed for a lil lesson

I still surprised nobody picked him up...just a good guy in room as well as still capable..if Sheed was tomgo.do2n for the year...that's the guy I would bring in to fill his role here...if he is still keeping himself in shape which I sure he is

I don't think so...isn't that the reason why that TJ Jones from Winnipeg didn't end up signing in T.O...cause they couldn't pay him the contract he signed for?

Basically yup... Or jam busters...as they been busted badly now...and oozing stuff from cracks now
