Not during some of the lean years - plastered with give away's or $5 seats. The club has definitely struggled mightily at various times in our history.

Like bearpants said, we need him in sync and if he can't get through this week, he probably shouldn't be in the WF.

That said, we don't really know either way because he's never stayed long enough to test it out.

Great example.

I disagree completely. 1) If he's healthy, you play him. period. 2) I'd rather not play someone in the play-offs who hasn't taken a snap in 10 weeks (or longer). You shake the rust off in a meaningless game so you don't have miscues when it does matter.

If you keep looking at AirBnB, stuff pops up. But it goes fast so you gotta jump at the ones that aren't crazy pricey.

Right?

Meh. They can grind out a few long drives on his back. Meanwhile Zach can score from any point of the field.

I thought he was done for the year when it happened but at some point a few weeks ago someone reported he was working to get back. Naylor, maybe? We might see him in play-offs?

You're confusing fan worry with Walters worry. Walters has a budget and tiers. I imagine his first thoughts are attempting to lock up Schoen and Demski. He may have his eyes on other CFL FA's, but he's need to deal with in-house guys first.

Because we didn't want Harris back... Demski will get paid fairly and be right where he belongs.

Even tight lipped O'Shea has said he expects Ellingson back in the regular season. Just giving him one game to get back into the swing of things and back on the bench, I'd imagine. Then it's "just win, baby".

Probably too early to say. Have to see how the group shakes out first. I agree that he's probably no longer plan A - though he certainly had the opportunity to be had he stayed healthy.

Yeah, I was talking after next season...and only if he got some opportunities and looked like he was improving.

Dru Brown is probably the best looking prospect we've seen at QB, but there's no way he sticks around for 3 more years if he continues to look good.

I expect Bighill to be back at a similar price. Jeffcoat is a guy we almost lost - the Bombers (and Willie) put on the full court press to get him back last season - so 50/50?

The thing with WJ is that he isn't always playing for the sack. He often does an initial push and then hangs back. Probably looking to bat the ball down. If we're talking extension - he's clearly doing what Hall wants him to do - even if the counting stats are down.

That kind of makes sense.

Bought my Zach jersey this year and am super pumped about this extension.

Exactly what I assumed it would be. Whew....I'm getting all tingly.

Any extension you hear about before December 1st is doing exactly that.

As funny as the Rod clip is, it's what everyone was saying and thinking at the time. It's what I was saying when the Riders first signed him, when they re-signed him, when they traded him, and when we traded for him.

Only show in town talking daily local sports. I'll take it.

There's an interesting point I hadn't considered. (still a garbage kick by Leggs to take the penalty).

Yeah, sure, easy peasy. Even if you found the next great one, it’s probably years before he leads your team onto the field though.
