  1. Stan the man with a plan
  2. My brother works as a rspirstory therapist...as well as used to be a Paramedic in Edmonton....first hand communication from him is Edm is a shithole...riddled way worse with crime...thugs...and homeless, and general filth...he says way worse than Winnipeg...worst apparently in Canada for what the emergency/healthcare system has to deal with...Saskatoon running up there as well with the leaders...and yes...said commonwealth is in the shitsville
  3. well...I lived in Winnipeg....T.O...San Fran....and Columbia MO.....and a coupe othe random points in between...could have continued there, or took up opportunity there, and well...where am I since 2003?....there a reason.....and every city has it's dumpy area, or negative attributes....But other than sheer size...I've found Winnipeg to have just as much or more than most in terms of things going on...and culture and what accompanies it....Lawler....I appreciate what he did here, but something was a bit off with him in some ways...and the fact he seems to take his subtle shots about certain things, and has really given no appreciation toward team/city or acknowledged "team" more than "him" is telling...truth be told...he won't be missed and we prob be a better over all group without him Adams is the one that will be missed and is leaving a void...and I hated to see him leave, but we gonna be just fine
  4. good report...is there camp tomorrow?...may have to whip by myself...need a live football fix
  5. Yup clements wasn't flashy...didn't have one big exceptional skill...or crazy skillet for that matter...but was smart..couls extend plays and improvise on the fly...could lead and was a winner...sounds a lot like someone else
  6. Unknowns at qb...prob a porous line..good on u Kenny getting bank but 10 bucks says Elingson outproduces and goes deeeeep into playoffs...banking a lil extra ching ching
  7. What's crazy is how this teams management and the way they manage roster..and prep for future is top notch...we've developed..replace and retooled through as goosen and chungh loss....Desjarlais..and Eli and just reload and don't miss a beat...crazy...other teams if they aren't envious are just oblivious then on how to manage a roster
  8. if he does surpass Gray this yr...fairly big if...Gray as the 6th is crazy good depth...we set along o-line for sure now...
  9. Kyrie ran track...dude has wheeels...and quick explosive acceleration...he will be fine
  10. Stick.....a.k.a Juron Bolden
  11. yup...started strong...faded even stronger....the fact they resigned him is telling...must be desperate..that defense was right gutted...and the loss of most were average guys save for Woodard
  12. I don't watch and follows the CFL because it has Canadians in it...and that comes from playing ball as a Canadian on both sides of the border...I watch as I like the game and want to be entertained...could care less where players are from, but just want the team I root for be able to field the best players they can...do I want to see all Canadians eliminated...would it make the overall talent better if they did....100 percent, that being said, you would still have Canadians playing as the Talent is there, and they know the game. I like the idea tho of rewarding team and player who has been with same team 4 consecutive yrs to be a naturalized Canadian, but cap it to a set amount allowed per team...you still have to have X amount of true Canadians, and X amount starting...also think that the DI should just be regular roster players, and drop the DI tag and restrictions to them...see no point in it as they are paid same as they would as a rostered regular, and would allow teams to benefit more using them more liberally and improve over all play. I get it...a lot of people are stuck on the Canadian stigma and say they would stop watching if they reduced or more specifically eliminated the ratio, o well...see ya later then, but many if not most of those are the old relic fan, being able to roster more "name" guys who some of the younger crowd may actually know who follow college ball, may attract a new breed and younger fan base...which is what this league needs....catering and pandering to just the wants and moansd and groans of the over 45..50 crowd won't grow anything....just saying
  13. If he wants to be here..and we can sign him for sure u make that happen. Mourtada kicked well...yeah he missed but they were on line...straight...and solid. His alignment was out of wack...and yeah it was a hashmamrk thing...he was overcompensating for the wider angle...I look forward to see what this camp shows..and his kick offs were great...95 percent of them he dropped right inside the goal/ten yard line close to sideline....perfect placements....I know he punts too..just not sure how accomplished
  14. If he comes back...he automatically goes back to his spot, and Grey is the 6th....case closed
  15. It's also about delegating and letting team leaders control the room, and self police as best they can, and that also was something Osh and his staff/management have built here....step in when needed, and give and receive respect equally
  16. money is earmarked for him for this season....u can count on that...without having to cut someone
  17. yeah...as it stands right now we have the best line, and 100 % we go national at safety to break camp. 100% certain we have Desjarlais money socked away for any return this yr, hence why we didnt go stupid in free agency after we signed our key guys, and why Harris was taking a shave, because if anyone doesn't think he was expendable if he didnt accept that deal, then your out to lunch. If Desjarlais doesnt shake free this yr, you know Walters will use that money for some one who does
  18. beast no love for McGriggs??
  19. If Dobson is here, and Eli appears from the Abyss we are still stacked at O-line with all the returnees....now if Desjarlais shakes free at some point in season, and returns....we are crazy stacked, to almost being unfair....but that leads back to the solid management and direction this team is at, and the smart drafting and player retention. Same can be said about Kongbo...this is his last NFL stab, and if he shakes free...and returns which I cant see why he wouldn't...the flexability/depth and skill level on defense with our nationals is gonna be crazy good too
  20. our scouting pool, and network pretty much from last yr already now is firmly established...and thats why we have seen the fluidity of the roster and basically just re-loads, and opposed to starting from scratch. Also the organization too has become the first call from Agents with clients they are peddling, quality ones with needed tape for a one last NFL shot. The top to bottom professionalism and true "pro" environment and team culture is a huge factor in this. We had hyped guys before, but when u went to camp you could see the jump from college to pro was to big for most...last few yrs been a bit different, and this yr now we allowwd to attend camp should be interesting to watch...some real true legit prospects this yr to push the vets
  21. By guys I mean kid and youth sports...college......athletes I deal with and coach....along with their crowd of friends....not all athletic kids and 20 to 30 somethings are at the games
  22. Love that Rene pick and signing....
  23. NOT seeing that pop country as the major genre of choice with young canadian kids..nope....or with 40 and up crowd Go in any locker room in Canada and what are the athletes blaring...rap/hip hop and hard rock.... lot of entities trying to push that up....why...dont know....
