Are we gonna get butt-whipped?

Also too familiar from last year.

The sack on Collaros was inevitable.

Gotta be better than this- waaay better.

History repeats itself. We got regularly embarrassed by runs up the middle last year and here we are again.

Agreed. That's why we have a Brady Oliveira

Yes, but pass protection gotta be better of Collaros will be seriously killed.

YEEESSSSS!!!!

Stamps getting a lot of pressure on Collaros- to be expected.

That was a statement run.

Pass to Nield was a bit soft but pinpoint.

Okay, now Collaros gets to show his stuff. Hope he doesn't get greedy too soon.

Agreed, but they better be. Even with a couple of regulars out, the Stamps' D-line is still pretty good, and our O-line is still unused to each other.

High praise., indeed.

With the changes on the O-line, I wonder how long it will take for them to gel as a unit. Elsbury has not impressed me, but what do I know? Truth be told, we do have an increasingly brittle quarterback and unproved backups. Should Collaros get dinged in the first game due to the changes on the O-line, we are in a world of hurt. It shouldn't be hard for Elsbury to be an upgrade, but the line will need time to get used to each other, and I hope it will not be at the expense of Collaros.

And wasn't anything much in 1999, but I was really hoping...

FWIW: tonight at 8:00 on TSN 3, there is a CFL season preview.

Maybe because Jones keeps getting handed the job?

Maybe Eli isn't one of O'Shea's pets- like Tony Jones and it is starting to look like the usual list of favoured players is being assembled.

Chungh wasn't a bad pick- he was very serviceable for several years before fleeing home. Yes, Demski turned out to be a very good player, but he served his apprenticeship with the Riders but didn't blossom until he got back home. You pays yer money and you takes yer chances.

The bottom line for me is that Walters and O'Shea have broken faith with us fans and even though we do not know what went on behind closed doors, it seems we no longer trust them implicitly. I am willing to be proven wrong, but apart from Elgersma, we seem to be pretty much in the same situation as we were in the past 2-3 years. There is plenty of blame to spread around.

The biggest problem I see is not the money or how things are divvied up- it is how little and how poorly TSN promotes the CFL compared to hoe they treat the MLB, NBA and even the PWHL. The way the Argos and Stamps promote their teams also could stand a LOT of improvement.

I fear we are mostly back to the same old, same old O'Shea roster.

That kid from the Rifles wouldn't look any worse.

Okay....the kick coverage wasn't bad. There was a sale.
