By no means am I well versed in football skills, but it seems to me that the same ability to take a handoff cleanly would be almost identical to taking a snap from center. Moreover, if a running back cannot read blocking off a snap, how the heck could he read blocking well enough to stay employed as an RB, period.

There is every reason to believe that neither Davis nor LeFevour are worth keeping. If we need a short-yardage threat, why can't one of our fullbacks learn to take a snap and plough straight ahead or make a cut off-tackle?

Or " feminine logic". ( I hope the wife doesn't see this)

Three of five O-linemen aging out of their jobs cannot be very reassuring for a QB- Dyakowski and Clark were barely good enough last year and Labatte is almost there as well. Sask's receivers are darned good, but if Collaros has come down with a case of the yips, the odds are against him. Their defence will probably be OK, so overall I would bet on a .500 season for the Greenies. None of it will be Jones' fault, of course.

With the Riders' creative financial management of the salary cap, does it really matter?

Avs playing better than the Jets. Is the rest of the team waiting for Buff to carry the day? If so, it ain't gonna happen.

Varlamov is injured- this changes everything.

yup, but it looks like the Jets have been jolted awake

Morrissey just had the stick pulled out of his hands and the Avalanche scores. Jets better wake up right now,

Jets have not been sharp in this game and it just cost them a goal. Colorado looks like they want the game more.

I think we are mostly tending towards depression. Time to change the title of the thread to "Why the Frack is O'Shea Keeping Hall?".

Done properly, it could be profitable, not to mention the PR boost.

And now.....welcome to HOGMANAY!!! Enjoy.

happy new year

He could probably find enough under his sofa's cushions.

Montreal can trade for Collaros conditionally upon Collaros renegotiating his contract to an incentive-based one. That's been done before.

Those who have not travelled in other countries have no idea of the pitfalls there, In South Korea, for example, if a woman tells a cop that a foreigner looked at her in a way that made her uncomfortable, that inevitably will lead to a conviction (the Koreans are xenophobic), a fine of $10,000 or more and/or several years in jail. Plus an international record as a sexual criminal.

Isn't that what Facebook and Twitter are for?

You could well be correct, and we will not know if Loffler can adapt his game until the bullets fly again, but there were too many times when the opposing receiver was unaccounted for and free to run where he chose.

Maybe, but to me it looked like the soft zone and man coverages were largely to blame.

I am not so sure. We've been through two very similar seasons in a row where the team did ok during the regular season only to be let down by the defence in the first round of the playoffs. Next year has to be different.

That would stop the runs up the middle and the 5-8 yard passes but the problem of the explosive 20-30 pass completions remains,

I suspect that the more probable scenario might be that if Hall is returned and the team defence continues to give up the big plays, Hall and maybe even O'Shea will be gone by Labour Day, replaced by God knows who.

I suspect that the longer it takes for us to hear of Hall's fate, the more likely it is that he is being retained. Sad.

I would like to believe that O'Shea is not so rigid in his thinking that he is willing to tie his fate to Hall's and go down with him, but he wouldn't be the first smart coach to make dumb decisions.
