yup...u need to get a feel and in a rhythm...and also get yourself game acclimated....alternating possession's at least the first 1 to 2 quarters would be the best...and then roll with whoever is producing...even sets with both on at same time....as then they cant key on any specific guy. And not sure why some say Augustine couldnt take full reps...he not big enough...he plenty big enough and would thrive with 12 to 15 touches a game minimum....Roberts had no problem taking full reps....and he took a lot of abuse too game in and game out, and many a game took over in late 4th quarter and we grinded out wins and killed the clock...the narrative Johnny couldnt do it is just plain dumb...and late in a game...with a lead....put em both out there to kill a game.. also Johhny's blocking is more than adequate...and not a concern...coaching has even said so....posters maintaining that stance obviously not watching...or know what to watch for, especially not knowing the individual blocking scheme and or assignment each play....and if they are that much of a savant and guru I wish I had their knowledge and know ow all these yrs

yeah first half I think should be a full even rotation and see who is having success, or how defense is defending...then roll with hotter hand

YUP Masoli stays healthy and they can get any run game going...they will be tough and have to be favorite in east....Powell even tho old as time should help them, and also gives Masoli a reliable outlet in pass...and we know how Lapo loves that. Rourke....yup...he hasn't seen any real pressure or anything beyond a basic defense....and against T.O they didnt even see a defense....that was bizzare.....under pressure and not able to make his first or hot read, and have to change his launch point will be a different story, and am also not sold on the Lions O-line yet either...but I said from pre-season I did see them as a possible torn in the side and a play-off team...they will go as Rourke develops, or regresses and comes back to normalcy....which he will.....I can see the West as Bomber, Stamps, Lions, Riders and Elks....and the East shaking out as Ottawa, Hamilton, Montreal and T.O...too many mercs and individual performers on T.O and guys who just dont seem to give an eff...if they do a serious reset they may be a 2nd place team but I wouldn't hold breath on that

Ottawa will in the end take 1st in the east...they have a pretty good defense....did last year until they got wore out, and if Lapo doesnt Lapo them into no killer instinct on offence....i see 10 wins there

i'd get concerned if it stays that way once they implement some more variation to the run game after a few more games....so far been pretty lame schemes and usage...

yeah wonder if this squad will narrate a pre-game excuse...just in case........ummmm....nahhhh....the only excuse or complaining you will hear is that they didnt pllay well enough, and have things to work on..win, lose...even win big...

product of the environment

Yup...some Faj logic...friggin wimp

Totally forgot about that...

just came across my feed and made me laugh.....no living in my head.....I'm enjoying his time in the league

this right here...why the Faj isnt a leader and a guy to take you to the top, also most likely a team mindset and narrative as for why they got spanked...."the chips were already against us"....?!?!...like cmon man....what a cop out and no accountability

yeah...I knew originally they were just gonna play him....they also tried to keep it under wraps until it slipped out into mainstream news....then cat was outta bag...the fact as well that organization hid guys, had a safe house and were basically using a supplemental "practice roster" to the actual practice and active roster....on the sly tells you more than enough of why they are where they are, and home to douchebagg players

I like his arm...his abilty to use his legs...they both top shelf....jury out tho on whats between the ears, and durability....lets see how he sees things and if he doesnt make errors when the real rubber hits the road

Yup ..reality will kick in soon....always does...and always will

Leonard was league mandated...and they tried to hush it ...couldn't remember the Hughes one ..originally he was gonna play and then they decided to sit after getting heat in social media world now I remember

same can be said about the PED Leonard issue...Dickieboi basically covered it best he could...made some lame excuse, and no consequence for the verbal attack and treatment on the tester....same with Hughes...I believe he never missed a game for his impaired issue....we sat down Lawler even tho wasn't required.....major difference in the 2 organizations....and it shows with on field stupidity in one place, and lack there of in another

yeah...its not as bad as some make it out to be...work in progress but not flat out pathetic....Like a Rider's passing game

if you are good....you should beat the craptacular teams...so far he did that.....if you are great....you can do the same to any team...we shall see.....impressive as it was, I not sold on him keeping this going...those 2 teams he played were the perfect scenario...EDM in first game....still trying to find who fits where and a horrid offensive plan....with piss poor in game coaching, then a T.O team where I don't know what to call that.....embarrassing comes to mind in terms of play, and individual efforts....also again craptacular in game coaching...we havnt been world beaters....yet but have gotten closer in each game....so if they take us out...even in a short week it will reveal more....I actually think we go in there and befuddle them...same with Ottawa....they gave us legit tough time because I like what they have going on there....and was a good first 2 games as we may have been riding complacency if we walked into a first 2 games of Esks and T.O type opposition

the interesting part is pre-game he mentioned that it was addressed, and that next step is that guys will have to lose playing time if not fixed...well it didnt get fixed...if anything was just as bad if not worse...especially the sideline temper tantrums by a few players....and almost looked like Faj was gonna cry a few times....not a leader guys will gravitate to.....so now what...cause some of the issues were still with key players...does he act ball-less and do nothing , and basically send the message to is guys that they have control and he can be walked over, or does he actually sit a few...risk most likely getting spanked again, and at same time based on that culture there...or lack thereof tick off said players, and cause locker room drama and rifts amongst the team??...will be interesting to watch, and makes you sooooo appreciate where we are....he's in a lose lose situation there, and it drops soley at his feet, and Oday's even more for his lack of addressing glaring needs for 3 yrs now, and bringing in garbage me first guys

yeah...Rourke has had 2 good matchups....a Elks team that was totally in disarray and T.O that looked and played like crap....have never seen so many recievers with no defenders near them...will be interesting to see what an actual defense and a team with their crap together will do...Ottawa will be a better barometer....way too early to anoint him a superstar...especially when there is actual game film on him now and his tendencies are noted, that and his weaknesses and strong points...

We could put Ford there...and we also have Rene whom I sure will get on roster soon...there are options...

Yeah...I agree on that....but I think we are veteran enough and talented deep enough not to look like the Riders and use that excuse...and they make that more than it is...a trip to edm from sask is hardly a chore...same time zone and what...an hour flight at most...now going from Winnipeg to t.o...then back home then going back across the country the other direction 2 times zones away is a diff story...and bet we won't look like hot garbage

Never said it restricts....just sometimes doesn't make sense....and they need to declare before game how many nationals are to be on field on each side of ball...so based in what we have seen and players taking snaps we declare 6 on offence and 1 on defense...and just have that extra there for ...I'm not sure...they should declare 5 and 2 and dress that extra import reciever or RB as a DI and he could come into the offense freely...to me that would make sense...we have enough talented Canadians who we could use as the extra db and in game replacement to facilitate that...

Combo of the 2 in my opinion...and you know that there are probably factions in that dressing room that don't see things nor play the game the same way... compound that with a coaching staff and management that either don't have the balls to address it....are just blind to it and can't see it...or have tried and just get walked over cause there's no 2 way respect and you get what you saw the last 2 games....and garuantee u woulda seen it game one if Hamilton actually showed up and made it a game...or were winning

my gut tells me this is gonna be a bust out game for us....both sides of ball mind u the defense has already kinda came to form
