add me to the Muamba crowd. what we need on defence right now to get us over the top

All the other arguments aside what’s swaying me to the players side of things , if true, was the promise made that he would be released after one year to pursue the NFL if the interest was there. Looks like that was done before Popp was hired so even though it is not on the new management I’ve always felt that honesty and integrity go a lot further than being stuck on the written agreement.

Interesting statement by Manziel’s agent. To me sounds like he’s looking for a Zach Collaros deal in the $500k/year range. End of January deadline too. It’s gonna be intriguing to see what Hamilton does. Today Manziel holds value for the Ticats after Feb 1 sounds like he’ll be worthless unless they’re willing to ante up. If it were me I’d trade his rights to Montreal, they might be willing to part with some good assets/futures.

Boy the Al’s are really hitting the bottom of the barrel now. He was terrible as an OC here. Must be Mack’s influence.

Well here it is the most important half of football of the year so far. DEFEND FORT HEW!!!!

Good to see this back. Thanks for all the hard work to put it together!

With Davis and/or LeFevour behind Center it would be a good time to change up to a read react veer type offence. Untilize the skills these two bring. Both have issues in Lapos check down game, Davis takes to long to release and Fever hasn’t got a strong enough arm to whistle it when he see’s it. A change of pace might mess up the Stamps D. Only issue is the running back if Harris is not 100%. Don’t know who we throw in.

I read a tweet yesterday, can’t find it now, where Hardrick told one of our reporters that he was definitely playing Saturday

Watching the Packers this afternoon - they are always catching the other team with to many men, the wrong blitz pkge etc. Nichols ran the same successfully until the Labor Day Classic when the Riders used that bogus fake injury tactic. Seems like we have gotten completely away from it in the last four games, wondering why? The fake injury tactic should be easy to get around and wouldn't the refs start calling delay of game with an overuse?

Someone's got to take Feoli-Guidino's spot on the teams and Wolitarsky has had some experience in college, and since Coates is Medlocks holder I can't see us expanding his role.

Even if he's on special teams, will at least let us see if he has the right stuff. Real game action of any sort weeds out the pretenders from the contenders.

Looks like he's finally gonna get a chance to display his talent. If Drew and Coates have a good game could possibly be a ratio breaker in the future with us being able to start 2 good Canadian receivers.

I think Poop is quicker, Nevis plugs the middle better. With Marshall out this might work out well to get more pressure on Glenn.

Got your wish, Poop is playing, Nevis sitting.

Now Loffler is out, Brannen in as backup safety

Knox missing means a hole on special teams, I'm assuming Wilson fills that role.

I wonder if Dressler's replacing Denmark this week.

Maybe he should read this https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/09/sports/baylor-football-sexual-assault.html

Took me a long time , but bam, I finally got Fort Hew . That's pretty cool!

Boom, wrong about Loffler, he's listed on the depth chart and Conteh (backup Canadian dback) is removed from roster. Shoulder can't be that bad then, maybe an injury to it he's been dealing with for a while?

Rewatched the Esks game last night, Loffler seemed to be favouring his shoulder after a hit late in that game. While he stayed in his right arm was visibly hanging at his side. Might just be speculation but it looked separated to me.

Next man up just not cutting it anymore for Esks. Down to 8 players on practice roster. A move like this was made so that there might still be a cup shot. Without it their season might just go into the toilet. A second round pick is a crap shoot at times - see A Richards. Wouldn't be surprised to see them make a move for an established receiver if they don't start to get some bodies back shortly.
