Booch

Not drugs...just over counter regular supplements..

Pre workout supplement...a protein supplement ...branch chain amino acids (bcaa) Basically just post and pre workout supplementation to maximize training..I use a couple of them Rivalus being the brand

I wouldn't underestimate Bennet either

The most a team would get is a second rounder for a back up..maybe a neg list guy tossed in. Only one who might cost a 1st would possibly be Franklin

YEAH LOSE the Adams talk..we have better already here

a few of on this site are more of an insider than him to be honest

Trainers and therapist can do a test on the filed to pretty much determine if its an ACL tear...Even a partial tear for the most part. And if it was either of those..especially a partial tear they would not have allowed him to walk off the field and risk more damage...

Yeah but when Willy went down we had crap behind him...and a lot of crap around him. Makes no sense to trade or give up assets for a QB that really is only a prospect much like what we have...but I feel has less upside than our 3 currently...we have pieces and system here to be successful if you are smart. Only trade I would make is if we could pry Lulay out of B.C..if it didn't cost too much

I wouldn't trade anything for anyone period...there's nobody out there with any upside greater than what we have in house....and really so what about no cfl game experience....I guess you will get it on the fly and rely on your coaches and talent around you and don't try and be a hero....season is far from lost if Nichols is down for significant time...or all year. We are strong everywhere else this year it appears, and we just need our QB to manage the game...worst case I see it...we battle for the crossover.... Also if a tear...and depending on the severity...you could still conceivably play with a brace..been done too many times to mention...

Hell no to Bridge....he couldn't run an offence like we have...he's just a duck and chucker...I'd rather go with Strevler....let him learn rial by fire..sometimes thats the best way to do it

I have said all along I have liked this signing...He is a complete back and can do all 3 major things required...and he runs hard...not sure what's not to like about him. To be honest having him as a depth guy/ST player who can come in and contribute on offence makes more sense than a John Rush really

which means SFA....Whats your point?? Edm won 6 games under that criteria..and CGY won 4...and also had a tie...guess they were all smoke and mirrors too Face it...you had a lucky run when sitting at 2-4 when you looked like absolute garbage after a weak BC hammered u and teams took you lightly...and paid for it...and after that were basically a .500 team The one win...or some clammer one play away from the Cup too is a joke...you were lucky to even have that chance to even be in play-offs if not for Ham and Montreal sucking so bad..

as could Peterman

Riders........paper...mirrors...local media hype.. and lack of depth...last year had a lucky run to get record they did...this year the real team will emerge and depth will kill them...as will hanging hat on a damaged QB. I bet they will be battling for a playoff cross over spot again with BC

to get game reps...and actually play... We could conceivably have Demski and Simonese or Woli starting with the other as a back-up as well as possibly Augustint/Lafrance/Pierre all on roster as Canadian depth..If push came to shove you could always push Harris out to a receiever role if one of starters get hrt and have Augustine or Lafrance in backfield as an in game adjustment. Also I really liked what i seen of Pierre...has nice hands..strong and fast and would play a similar role as what Watson did...and Pierre too would excell on ST's

Penison must have lost his mind with that prediction

Yeah dont quite understand their bringing in all the ex NFL washouts..especially when it doesnt meet what they are trying to do ratiowise. Not even sure they know how to deal with their ratio...and they had a guy to backup messsm and they turned him. Just more fuel to add to the fire of Jones being a lousy GM

The first year Nichols had won the job over Reilly and then got hurt...And Reilly did well.. Bennett shouldn't look like a deer in the headlights...this will be his 3rd camp and 3rd round of preseason games so he is not stepping on the filed as green as green can be

Yeah sounds like same path I was/am on...right knee is worn down to the grey matter now..well past the initial layer of bone that was below where the cartridge was. I even was part of a trial program done in Atlanta where small dowels where removed out of the knee joint and cartridge was grown on them from your cells..then place back in to try and create new layer of cartridge.. had microfracturing to try and mimic growth too..good times Dr Longstaff here and later Dr McDonald have been my surgeons and eventually I will stop delaying and get my knee replaced as like you said..getting hip issues on opposite side from favouring it so much over last 10-15 years...so maybe it's time.. originally you couldn't replace a replacement and it only had about a 20yr lifespan.. but now u can so I feel better about it now

Yup gotta show it against the actual lineup of the teams we play...that being said our "other" guys before we tried to develop 9 looked like crap generally against the same type of lineups in previous years..so a bit of optimism is warranted. Strev looked confident and aware out there as well..a good sign regardless of his opponent. And like I said in a different post that competition he just faced is better than any he has ever played against and bnbhe fared well..so another positive thing especially as that was his intro into Canadian ball

Gotta say tho that if our 3 rotational ends keep up that play and Nevis can continue his work with Poop..our defense is gonna give teams fits with bighill and JSK being able to just flow to the ball...damn

Nah..his 2 playoff appearances with us if we had any semblance of a defense he would have won...should have won really no fault of his..The 2 playoff games have been statistically 2 of his better games of his career.. he's legit

Strevler and Augustine's success isn't just attributed to being against scrubs..and means nothing. Sure signs of this has gotta be shown against all first stringers for sure..but you need to lose the notion that there is no real thing as fodder at this level and that all the competition guys face now is greater than anything they faced in college..so if they showed well then they are doing things right. Also if Strevler was throwing to first stringers behind the starting oline and Augustine was running behind them..then they may have had more time to throw..bigger holes to run thru..etc..etc..u can slice it anyway you like but they both showed promise. Now lets see if they build on it next game and then make some determinations..all in all a lot of positives and our rookies fared better than sask rookies against same competition so that says something

There's my boy White...nice

legit and elite are 2 different things...and a jittery QB who lacked pocket awareness and skill wouldn't have got the ball to the masking agents. Call the percentage what you want but at the end of the day a QB's winning percentage is still his....but football being a team game your only as good as your 3 facets for sure, but most experts will tell you a team goes as does it's QB, and with Nichols at the helm, this team has won at a .700 winning percentage. ALSO.....if we had guys masking his skills...would we not have won basically as well when Davis and Lefevour took over when he was hurt???
