Ultimately it's impossible to say he'll be a "sure fire stud" here... but given the additional coaching he received, playing against better competition, and and overall work ethic required to play in the no fun league... it would be likely he could contribute in a good way... also, he'll be only 26 at the start of next year... Doug Brown was no guarantee... neither was Jamaal Westerman... I think one of the biggest factors will be if he ready to move on from the NFL and is fully committed to a CFL career....

nice effort from both sides.... I enjoy a little harmless twitter banter...

That's very true... but it's a little disappointing that we're only still in it b/c of the futility from Sask, BC, and Mtl... I said in another post that it is so frustrating to sit through another shoulda/woulda/coulda, season... with little to no extra effort, just some execution we should be 8-7 right now... and battling for 2nd place (with a 9-6 Calgary team that we have the tie-break on... in my fantasy scenario!)

I know but you need backups. If Bastien gets injured, no Canadian WR to step in. It's doable but leaves us very thin. I don't see why we can't sign a Kito Poblah or Jade Etienne to stand on the side lines and look pretty in case of an injury. I thought it was reported (albeit here, so take that for what it's worth) that jade was done with football... I'd be interested in seeing what Poblah would do as a jersey filler... too bad that rifles kid didn't work out...

I agree, I've thought all along that Lirim had played better when he's only had one dutie to worry about... his place kicking was much better when Renaud was punting last year... this game appeared to be his best punting on the season...

Not sure if anyone else got this call... I have a single grey cup ticket open beside me... the bomber office called me yesterday offing that ticket to me with the $100 discount... I assume they called the guy on the other side of the open ticket too...

So Toronto gets 6 real home games this year... at least this time the "road" team won't have a decided home field advantage...

haha you think some drunken fans get rowdy during losses now... imagine this scenario!

We gotta be catching up after the Calgary and Edmonton games!

But don't you get it... they're not bringing in the right players!westerman bass cotton adams adams leggett wild and marshall say whatchu talkinbout willis?Not all finds have been busts. (yes i know yer post was sarcastic lol.. i think anyway) I'm not sure I could have been more sarcastic... short of adding a or

But don't you get it... they're not bringing in the right players!

He's got a hell of a leg... kicking and punting... no denying that... it's the accuracy that needs work...

Nice original analysis and analogy!

Bad signing... compounded with the fact that he was used terribly... this was inevitable

I like Washington so I wouldn't trade him... but that's petty good value for the other two...

Oh MOAB... you and your crazy trade suggestions... BIG NO to both of those suggestions...

I see what you did there!

Some of the drivel spewed on here is incomprehensible at times.... do me a favour... walk up to Zach Anderson or Stanley Bryant, look them in the eye and tell them they're not men... You're right, we lost to the better team... save the BS rhetoric for somewhere else...

Pretty impressive highlight film on Mr Copp... maybe he'll stick around in June (after the Stanley Cup Parade) and show up to TC...

I'm never an advocate of blaming a loss on a kicker... but there are always exceptions.... If Sergio Castillo has been on the roster this long... he must be capable... I would not cut Lirim right now.... but if he comes to Vancouver (to play) next week then I'm officially done with this coaching staff...

We're not in a position to be taking any solace in moral victories... if these two games were game 3 and 4 of last season I would be very optimistic... more than a year and half into this regime, there's no excuse for blowing winnable games... this is now the 3rd (or 4th) very winnable game that we let slip through...

I agree... there isn't a whole lot seperating Ott, Tor, and Ham right now... and Ham might be at the biggest disadvantage without Collaros...

Good one...

Henry was older and do you remember what he fetched. Burris doesn't have the injury history....

Since they don't actually have a coach per se I agree. I think Joe Popp may finally have to pay the price with his job. Pressure from up top probably forced him to fire Higgins but now the camera is pointed right at Joe and he doesn't have anyone left to blame. Jim* Popp
