Fatty Liver

It's officially "show me" season for Strev.

Not much would have changed even if they added Woods last game, with the injuries to Fox, Haba and Garbutt they have an unexpected crisis on their hands. Losing Jeffcoat they've made appropriate changes to the D-line for this season, can't rationally fault those choices, with injuries they're now forced to make a few more adjustments.

Bring Cedric Wilcots back, he's a Jr. imitation of Jeffcoat in style and he might still be here if they hadn't traded him away for Alden Darby.

People maybe don't realize accepting a PR position in a different country far from home and familiar faces for little pay is a pretty tough decision for any player to make. Players who are overly confident in their ability might gamble that the next opportunity to play pro football will come along shortly, others won't have the confidence to make that decision and accept whatever is offered. Rivers has a taste of fame on his resume which might open doors others don't have access to.

Do they have the LB depth to back that up? Cole was largely invisible last game for some reason, everytime I thought I saw him it turned out to be Kramdi making plays.

Head and shoulders the most effective ST player last game, bad choice.

The team is not where they or anyone else expected them to be two games in, now they're fighting for their life with 2 tough games on the horizon and no easy matchup anywhere to be found. They may have miscalculated the luxury they foresaw having allowing Strev. mucho reps closing out games with bountiful leads. The past shows, when O'Shea gets nervous about losing games he tends to coach more conservatively and rarely relaxes enough to provide backups of any stripe gametime to grow or further expand their role anytime 2 pts. are still on the line. If anything he's probably going to tighten Bucks choke chain and we'll see less opportunity for Strev. to broaden his showcase, even though it could be a determining factor in securing victories. We shall see.

Highlight reels are wonderful, but it's up to Strev. to prove it this season if he wants to be anything more than a gimmick QB in the CFL. Two games down and the clock is ticking.

Faint praise, you can see by Stanley's body language he's re-living 2015-16 and wondering why he came back.

Are you denying the sacks happened or just being selective in your criticism of the O-line play?

Dobson was manhandled at least twice and was responsible for sacks given up on each occasion, him and Kolo are short armed strugglers playing at the edge of their athletic ability and are easily tipped off balance.

Twice in a row=4, right?

No no no, Buck Buck Buck.

Wilson has caught every pass thrown his way in every game he's played so far, throw him more passes and you may see why they chose him over Wheatfall.

If you look at all those LB's you already know they form the heart of O'Shea's ST and always have, a team which he is trying to rebuild and also provide rookie STC Mike Miller all the tools he needs to do so. Some of these LB's have no other purpose at this point but to serve Mike Miller.

Waiting for Garbutt to come back, no one else left in the hopper.

Yah he does, still hasn't figured out that 2011 GC loss to Lulay and the Lions were he struggled woefully to move the ball all damn game. Since that painful day I've lost faith in his ability to figure anything out on the go. If it wasn't for LaPo's inherited playbook to use as a roadmap, I suspect he'd be sitting in his office with a paper bag over his head mumbling to himself between long drawn out pauses.

Kongbo seems to be the opposite of Winston Rose, doesn't seem to get along well with anybody.

Which version? You don't want this one showing up...

It appears the top seat in BC is occupied by two butts with Rick Campbell and Neil McEvoy sharing the GM role, in reality this is probably little more than Campbell having a veto over stupidity, which he never had when he was in Ottawa. Ringmaiden may have to look elsewhere if he wants to progress his career above his current position as it's crowded at the top.

It's probably going to take Zach getting knocked out of a game before we get to see Strev. in an expanded role, till then he's stuck with a pretty small playsheet.

If you're looking to the past, which I don't think they should be, Agudosi is currently a free agent and already knows the playbook.

They were all money issues, Kyle blew his wad early and had nothing left to offer them above minimum pay-grade.

Here's a list of vets who lost their spots in the off-season. Gray Bailey Rose Grant Jeffcoat Clements Funny thing is with the exception of Rose none lost their jobs directly to better players.

Who was he rotating in for the first game, Wilson, Kramdi or a HB? With Cole also competing for the same reps. it doesn't make a lot of sense.
