Booch

Lucky been a DNP this week....maybe he doesnt wanna get pummeled into a cast like last time ahahah....but if he can't go it's a bonus for us....still wish he was here and developed and actually utilized beyond how Lapo wrecked him...Imagine we could be rolling him and Lawler...with the other supporting cast and looks like make me Puke Williams is questionable....his 275k salary and minimal stats, and ability to not stay healthy is sure doing them wonders....not to mention having his loser antics and lack of true leadership...and still a hit on the cap to boot

They have struggled since back half of last season, but still.....give the dude some rope....not sure why Miles was let go....Thorpe isn't gonna make em better...in all honesty the guys kind of a tool

yup....quite the bone job there and no loyalty or any room to make things work....wrong move, but what can you do

well you can injure it where it doesnt require surgery...tho I think that maybe they made the initial statement prior to teams physicians getting good look...and pics of it....also tho, he was on sidelines after...usually with a tear...complete tear u won't be seen again that night...especially not moving about on crutches on sideline

Played full year last yr...no fines or "dirtyness" as well as 10 games in 2019, as he was hurt for a bit.....so buy what u want....has played basically just as much as everyone else

I tend to agree....we aren't making mistakes to kill ourselves, playing a safe reserved game for the most part, and it's allowing us to win...we are deep, right across the board, and know what it takes to win, and don't get rattled/flustered. B.C as well....have played well, but also hadn't really seen a true test...I also don't think B.C has earned the chops yet to run with the big dawgs when the going gets tough....we're banged up...coming off a short week, and still not fitring on all cylinders, so gonna be a tough one.....but I can see a win, and even a convincing one....and if we do lose...it wont be an embarrasing joke of a loss like some teams have produced this year, and you wont hear us babbling about excuses....and having chips against us before game even started

vintage

ha!!....yup.....how and why they draw this up is baffling today is only practice of week correct?...and closed as well?

but a quick trip to edm....from sask...to mtl is pale in comparison to wpg to T.O....timezone away...Then back across the country 3 times zones the opposite direction....but agreed...the short week scheduling is lame and dumb, and i'm sure the powers that be could of at least gave us an Edm or CGY game next, but whatever...is what it is

yeah...he's not a locker room issue....and isnt dirty...played hard and fast, and has adapted to the new way of pummeling ball carriers....he would be an excellent pickup if Wilson is down for year....if there is a talented player available to improve our team...you grab them regardless of who/what u already have...thats how good teams stay good

did you ask the operator to put your deck in the Hopper??...lol

seem to keep te Faj bottled up nicely

yeah...I think BC is gonna have eyes opened a bit seeing a true legit defense...Can also see Willie playing a role like he does often getting in the passing lane for the short quick hits like he does so well....gonna be interesting....Rourke hasn't seen much extended pressure this yr, and when he has has looked average at best, so that will be key...pressure from different angles and different looks. They reaped the rewards the first few games with receivers running Scott free...I don't see that happening this game, and still not sold on their o-line...also week 1 EDM was brutal and still in dissaray...and then a bye...then a T.O team that basically gave up and looked to have no clue...first true test they eeked out a win against Ottawa, and I still think Ott lost that more than BC beating them.....Sat should be interesting, and certain this team will rise to occasion...they always do

yeah he does....see him in the gym on occasion...actually gave him **** for wearing an alloutte t-shirt one time hahaha

Awe would be a good fit...he is a good character guy and far from dirty...he's a hard hitter and a few times early in his career had the odd hard helmet to helmet hit, or shoulder to head....but that was when it just started to become an UR penalty...the last few yrs he's cleaned that right up.....so farrrrr from a dirty guy ...he's a play to the whistle guy...and plays hard and always runs to the ball....just what we look for

yeah the line has been fairly good....we been spoiled with utter excellence and dominance going on 3 yrs now....so when we play good it seems like such a let down...the bizzare amount of screens and hitches thrown was baffling given how the Argo snuffed them out repeatedly...now was it an issue of Ellingson was knicked and couldn't block as usual...as he is very effective, and Yoshi being hurt and not able to get up field off the edge like he normally would...who knows....but you also need to use that to set up plays off of it, and we didnt do that once from what I recall...that scheme really shows how we miss Adams....he was very effective blocking and smacking DB's and just generally getting under their skin

any receiver can stretch the field if you give him field stretching routes....a DB is gonna have to cover him, and a lot of time the safety will trend that way too....Agudosi has good hands from all accounts, and same with reports on him in his NFL camps...not a burner but again...dont have to be, and being 6'-6" with hands and athleticism down the field...is gonna garner attention and looks, and will open up areas on the field...must be something about him we like as we kept him all year...and brought him back, and then brought him back again now after he must be healed up

if he was to have had none...then I'd be concerned as that would mean he was not reading the play...flowing to the ball...and getting beat and in chase with receivers out of back field...we should be fine with him...you have to remember he isn't a rookie, and had what...5..6..7 starts last year?....and I think he actually has a lil more quickness to him than Kyrie

as did I....also seeing him in sidelines...albeit on crutches was a somewhat positive sign...a season ender and he would not have been out there like that

yeah....no need to panic at all....we gave ourselves a nice 4-0 cushion to start season, know what we need to work on now after 4 games, and have the faith and belief that the powers that be see/know it too, and discussions are being had....the Oline brought back 4 all-stars...they didnt lose their ability and fall off a cliff from December when they last played...the game where Couture got hurt they were coming into form, and now will need a lil gel time...defense is fine tho the Wilson injury hurts, but then again a lot of time it allows a new guy to emerge, so in the end we could be even stronger if/when Wilson comes back. The issue we need to fix up is to bring in...or roster....and use properly a different style of receiver who is a downfield guy...fast and long and a threat from anywhere on the field....that and designate Johnny as the true RB1 for next game, and give full reps of 15 touches or more to get in game flow to see what he can/can't do as a actual full-time starter....and if it more of the same then time to rethink the ratio and bring in a RB in the mold of Carey or Standback and go that route....ratio wise we don't need that spot to be a Canadian player, and we can still use one of the young guys in rotation and in certain sets....we do that and we will be just fine. it's also where you are in oct/nov...not in june/july and as it stands now....we have wiggle room to figure it out as worst case scenario even if we only win say 3 more games here on out it's pretty much a lock to cross over with 7 wins...maybe 8...and this is probably the team that would be the one to cross over, and get to the Grey Cup, and win it...and wouldn't it be just icing on the cake to do that and thrash the Riders at IGWest...mind you i don't see them getting there regardless

interesting as it was called an injury and extended period, as opposed to a tear and done for yr....possibly back for playoff crunch time?

Actually.....Desjarlais seems to be the biggest loss...and with Couture now out just compounded it...the other biggest loss is Adams...he set the tone for the receivers and was key yo the blocking and keeping the rest in check....he also was a legit downfield threat...Lawler, sure would been nice to have but again not for what he would have took to sign...and again, he had 1 true good year, and I'd wanna have had seen a couple in a row....dominant ones to justify that $$....Harris...meh....we dont need an aging unreliable RB....management tho misplayed or over estimated the keeping the ratio there....should have brought in 2 or 3 studs if just for anything to push the incumbents....but we will figure things out, that I have no concerns about, and to be at 4-0 after being for most part less than inspiring on one side of the ball is a bonus, and that with guys like Rose, Jeffcoat, Demski, Couture, Wilson (now done for year I bet) missing time, BA not even hitting field yet, and a lot guys playing hurt is almost baffling, but also says a lot. A small tweek here, a slight shuffle here....and 14 games till play-offs to do it, I think we sitting good and right where we wanna be...we were a work in progress first 3rd of last year too....

Be an interesting match-up for sure....short rest...mounting injuries....jet-setting across the country in 2 opposite directions over 4 time zones, if anyone had cards against them it's this squad (But you won't hear that excuse here....Hi CoFaj) this team doesn't use excuses, or have built in pre-meditated reasons to fail.....I almost feel a bounce back statement game coming....not sure why....but I can't see this team laying down and surrendering....never gonna happen

and we have 2 on PR....Harrison and Agudosi

I'm glad they have been....will make us work harder and not rest easy...they know they have kind of sucked...well on offence....
