  1. Is Glenn only as good as the team around him? Brown thinks so ...

    Doug Brown basically just states what everyone already knows.... of course this applies to all QBs, I bet Max Hall would be a pretty decent starter playing for Calgary too.... And I haven't heard one single person say that matching the ridiculous price Desjardins set is a good idea.... other than the anti-Glenn contingent, it seems the general consensus is if we can get him for cheap and he accepts the role on the team's terms he would be an excellent addition to the team... otherwise not worth it

    We're used to having a mediocre backup-worthy QB start and a REALLY bad QB back him up.  When you cycle through all three QBs on your roster (And then additional QBs later in the season) you don't get any closer to finding out what needs to be fixed.

     

    With Glenn either starting or on the bench, we at least have a tried and true, seasoned vet available.  Granted, he doesn't like the cold and doesn't like to get hit so we might not see too much of him, but at least we get the summer games to enjoy.

     

    This is the most ridiculous and over-used cliché to describe a QB.... has there ever been a QB in football history that likes getting hit and plays better when he's getting beat up?

    Here's some video on Urrutia: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oNzaH4S-_-Y.

     

    1 - Looks like pretty good hands with an Arena sized ball - hopefully going to the bigger CFL ball won't be a problem

     

    2 - Looks like he won't have any trouble with plays that require him to waggle... nor fighting through a DB coming off of the waggle

     

    3 - I'm concerned that he is too used to playing against DB's who are hopelessly outmatched by him on a size basis... He won't have as easy a fight to get those balls in the CFL

     

     

    1. Is the arena ball same size as the NFL?

    2. good call, looks like he was the guy in motion on a lot of plays

    3. How many CFL DBs are that much over 6'? I think he will still have size mismatches...

  10. 7am WBB FC Announcement -- Buck Pierce New RBs Coach

    Can we start a pool on how long it takes for someone to call into CJOB and say that O'Shea should be fired and replaced with Pierce? "Hi Bob, long time listener, first time caller...just wondering..."

     

    I am setting the over/under at Week 9.

     

     

    I can't even listen to the call-in portion on CJOB.... I usually think "who are these people and have they ever watched football before?"

    I hope he's good.  Not sure if he's a little injury prone.  Can't tell from the below if he hurt himself 2 or 3 times in 2 years.  I'm thinking the wikipedia folk just suck at writing.

     

    On November 25, 2009, Leggett was placed on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury. He was placed on injured reserve after hurting his knee against Pittsburgh. On September 4, 2010, he was again placed on IR, ending his season for the second time. 

     

     

    Sounds like either the first and second sentence are related or the second and third sentence are related...  I would guess he was on IR twice....so yes, just poor writing

    I don't like this new Ottawa franchise and it has nothing to do with Burris or Desjardins or anybody else in their football ops.

     

    It is 110% because some dummy decided it'd be a good idea to call them the Redblacks. And then if that wasn't bad enough, somebody else said "hey, you know what'd be cool? If we YELLED IT EVERYTIME!"

     

     

    On principle alone I refuse to ever spell it all caps.... Redblacks is the best they're getting from me, maybe RedBlacks if I'm in a good mood  ^_^

  15. Kevin Glenn has requested a trade

    I wasn't sold on KG when the off-season started but I'm starting to change my mind a bit.... I think if they come into camp and battle for the #1 then either Glenn is the better QB and it gives Willy more time to develop or Willy is the better QB and then we have the best back-up in the league.... sounds like a win/win.... many people are over-complicating this

    I'm no Desjardins fan. I hope he is an epic fail. Just like he was in Hamilton. 

     

    I disagree with this.... the last thing this league needs is another failed Ottawa experiment... I think we're only 5 years away from being a 10 team league so Ottawa is critical to the process...

     

    That being said, I really hope we wipe the floor with them in their first official CFL regular season game!
