Reading that article doesnt lead me to believe he is starting....but we will see...regardless of who's there this week I think we take care of  business handily

see y'all real soon tells me he's talking to his Riders pals....well...if anything happy for the guy leaving that craphole and organization and getting to see how a legit pro one operates in Canada haha

and if that not a kick to the nads and an indication of how things are in Regina then I don't know what is....so funny

Not disagreeing with you, but if we did have Gray play the whole game at tackle ( where he might be arguably better than guard ), that would free us up to have an American playing somewhere else. 

yeah...thats also a nice option as well for a game and to be able to see one of the new guys gets some reps...and see what they have

hmmm...as a rotational guy predominantly we could do worse....he also plays teams...so could be a decent signing...and change of scenery he could be alright....and the fact he knows the league doesn't hurt...If Jeffcoat is out this game, obviously Wicotts is the starter, and maybe they want some experience behind him if they feel the new guys not ready??..dunno...or maybe he backs them up?...I do know we excelled more on defence when we actually had 4 DE body types on roster when we rolled with 8 dlineman

the thing I love best about the Riders **** show, is that it's EXACTLY what we all predicted would happen a couple years ago when Dickie took over that **** show and made Faj a starter. They fluked out some grace period, but everything we all thought was gonna happen is finally happening EXACTLY as predicted (though we could never have wished for this much fun...) 

yup....it's crazy that for the most part....thats exactly what we all saw coming...and it's been glorious

what a moron...and what a circus...

He's subbed in for Bryant at LT at least 3 times including almost an entire game replacing Richmond late last season against the Stamps, he's looked great in that time and did not allow any sacks.

Yeah he has done fine there when needed, and think he factors in as one of our tackles in near future

That was the only way I could reason it, but wasn't sure.

pretty sure of it to be honest...he'll be playing...especially against the undisciplined Riders...no way in hell is Osh gonna put ZC at that risk this late in season

BLM will have two choices:

Retire from Calgary with much praise, and seamlessly move to the panel. 

Work one more payday year as the QB equivalent of #33. 

man....had almost forgot about Harris and his irrelevance now...had he stayed here and swallowed some pride....been happy with a rotational/situational guy, he'd likely still be playing....having a nice yr and in the thick of a 3rd straight cup and further cementing his place here in Bomber lore...and being very relevant...in an extremely relevant market....sad how it played out

Bauming's comment confuses the hell out of me.

maybe it's because if Bryant was gonna be out, they'd be working one of the imports there for 1st team reps as his replacement...This is prob for in game reasons in case he gets knicked again....no need to make 2 changes on the line if you don't need to

Bryant finished the last game just fine....resting the big fella won't hamper his game production...he needs no reps

yeah he's as good as gone from Cgy, and that is the smart move by Huff....keep the young gun in place and grow with him....where BLM lands is anyones guess...hopefully Sask throws gobs of money at him to cripple their SMS and we watch him falter bad...or get creamed repeatedly behind that crap o-line...it needs a serious re-boot...which will cost money if they do it right, cause as it sits none of their in-house "depth" has any semblance of lock down stud...

he was horrible before....and coming back from that long a layoff...will be just as...or worse...They would be smart to not even start him, but we all know Dicklesson is the anti-smart and they prob start him....as well as human bandaide Vaughn too...thinking it will give them a boost and solidify things....which it won't, and they likely add the cancer Duke, which will be just as dumb a move....

Without bringing everything from the past- on it's own, it should be noted (maybe even slightly applauded, because of their record of not doing the right thing right away) that they did the right thing.

If we want them to be more accountable in the future- I don't think shitting on them when they "FINALLY" do the right thing in a very quick manner, is going help.

 

Whatever- good on them doing the right thing. 

 

 

uhg, feel so gross man- @Booch you gotta stop making me defend them...

 

off to take a silkwood shower.

lol....sorry....go off for a walk in the park and think about what you did..cleanse yourself of the situation then we never, ever bring it up again haha

PLAP lost his starting QB. Does MOS look better, worse or about the same as PLAP if we lost Collaros? 

way better....all around way WAY better....and whoever is playing QB there...would be in, and running the Lapo system, and he would still be making the questionable in game calls, and still assessing the overall talent...etc...etc

looks like scenario's 1 and 2 in west division will materialize this week

In fairness to the Riders (vomit), we had the exact thing happen last year and they seem to have handled it as we have. Short of Dickenson opening his mouth and somehow making it worse, I don't think this incident alone can be held against them.

this time they did yup...cause last time it happened out there they tried to keep it hush hush but got busted in the press....I give them no applause for handling it the way you should....same with the episode with Purifoy last yr at restaurant?..were not very transparent on that one....same with PED Leonard farce...skirt around the truths...."aww shcucks the gy feels bad"..." oh geeze he didnt mean it"..."hey....he's a lot better than last year"...." I hope he feels bad and apologizes to his teamates".....to be honest I am shocked they didn't try and hide it....if ever you wanted to know the definition of a rudderless boat...look no further than a province over

Well I do know for a fact we lost out on 2 receivers in his time here....well because he was here and they didn't want to lessen their future earning power playing in his system, so yes I believe he isn't good for recievers...as for QB's who has he developed??..he stagnated Strev and tried to make him a gimmick....Nichols and Collaros were established, tho as time wore on here Lapo's system pretty much combined with Nichols injuries sent him down a downward spiral....he's had almost 2 seasons to develop Evans in Ottawa and if anything he has regressed...

Bad decisions?....well proof is in pudding the last 2 years he is a horrible....Horrible game manager as a HC....his HC record is what 22 and 48?...god awful....and his play calling...well we all have seen that for the most part...at least here he won in spite of it, we were lucky to have some generational talent to make it work...dudes a nice guy, and "can" be a decent co-ordinator....but man, sooner or later the coaching gigs are gonna dry up...I think its closer to later here for him...

THE HITS KEEP COMIN

@DTonOB 1h

 

1st team D is as expected with Jeffcoat not practicing. Cedric Wilcots as the DE opposite Jefferson. Back 6 remains the same as the Hamilton game

yuck about the back 6 tho...not a strong point at the moment...tho BA with another week of practice and game under is belt is a good thing...that Wil spot tho and the 2 rookies leaves a lot to be desired....blahh

pretty much yup

Paul likely moving back to the Peg shortly....UNLESS something big comes along with another club....Right now...don't see it

yup...I think he will be back on the Panel or doing a segment before a coaching gig comes along

He dont need to practice...let him rest

yeah...I think the gig is up...literally and figuratively...got what he wanted yr one...they sucked.....they went out and to most observers scored big in FA in yr 2...and u could say they suck even more..Masoli going out didnt help...but other than the first 2 games of season when we played awful they seemed to regress....interesting that really our offence hasn't missed a beat since he left, and if anything is more explosive and versatile....I think his success here was more of a product of the environment he was in, as opposed to him being the catalyst

yeah  not too sure who they gonna scare...especially when own HC said in media the= aren't very good....puzzling

I wouldn't think so. I feel it is likely that Hardrick hangs them up before Bryant.

with 4 yrs age difference there I highly doubt it....Hardrick is having too much fun, and is still too damn good to be hanging them up anytime soon
