Again, disagree, there's more than one 'correct' way to play certain situations. it comes down to philosophy and style. Not all defensive coordinators are the same. All 'correct' ways can get beat. It's like being up by a goal in hockey. one 'correct' way is to tighten up defensively. another 'correct' way is too keep pressing.

It's called salary cap for some teams and I'm betting that some won't want/can't pay 3-5 mil for a non-slam dunk proven commodity.

Probably not as a result of his asking price AND not exactly sure if he's as good as he thinks.

If nothing gets done before the start of the season and the Jets bust out of the gate, puts us in the drivers seat. If the Jets Shite the bed out of the gate, pressures up. Roll the dice. With New Jersey trading away Larsson, they might be a suitor.

'Trouba is dead to me.' Paul Maurice. :-)

In this case it didn't. You can blame it on whoever, whatever you want. They needed a field goal. Play the defense you've been playing all second half. Don't give them an inch. If they beat you, they deserve it.

I assume Paul Maurice doesn't know who Jacob Trouba is anymore, doesn't want to be a Jet, don't know who he is. See Frolik. I really like Paul Maurice.

Play to win, not to lose. Drives me nuts.

Why would you bring up Myers? Trouba has asked for a trade. He doesn't want to play here. Has nothing to do with Myers.

I found myself pulling for him watching the game. I wanted him to light it up but didn't happen. It will be interesting next week in how he plays after a week of starting reps. He's a guy easy to cheer for, just not against us.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself well. I'm suggesting that a challenge clock counts down as soon as the play is whistled down and once it runs out (five seconds), a coach cannot throw a challenge flag. The play clock is another clock that is for a different purpose.

I said it here a while ago, coaches should have very little time to call a challenge. Once the play ends, you have five (?) seconds to call that challenge. We have teams looking at their Ipads determining whether to challenge or not. Give them very limited time to do that. We have a play clock why not a challenge clock?

Yup.

Hey I'd like more touchdowns as well but with Nichols we seem to get a well managed game that, to date, requires a fair amount of field goal attempts. When it comes down to it, it's great that we have a placekicker that gives us that option starting from 58 yards out.

I'd also add try to get under his skin. Whose are best chirper on our team? Assign him to Messam from the mental aspect of the game. When things aren't going his way and/or he's been mentally played with, it gets him frustrated. My observations over the years on him is then he doesn't become the best teammate when things aren't puppy dogs, lollypops and unicorns which then fosters a negative vibe with the rest of his Stampeders. Every bit will count in how we beat them. Call it the Cleo Lemon effect.

You can't be serious. They play in the same league but they are not in the same league.

Or maybe Sinkfield ruled out Winnipeg as an option which would make this a non-starter for Walters.

It's funny because I thought he wasn't running that good, not hitting the holes hard enough with too much shifty feet. Cranked the rust off turned it on and did his job big time.

My man Dressler makes Toronto pay for trading away Heath.

Good point. If they do that, that would put the final nail in his CFL career.

There's no way they put Kilgore in if Lefevour falters I would assume. His days are numbered. I think his window has closed. But hey if they do, awesome for us.

So do we see Willy make an appearance? Too early? I'm assuming he's dressing and listed as #3?

That's unfortunate. 'Willy comes off the bench to be intercepted by Heath' has a nice ring to it.

It just seems this organization right now is lacking in calmness and professionalism that may need an injection of something different to stop the crap that's going on. AC with more decision-making ability might offer than, knowing his experience is still somewhat green. Obviously, bringing someone in someone would be an option as well. Popp has a bit ofa history when it comes to this.

Anthony Calvillo needs to take over the helm, stat.
