Am I right in thinking that this deal was signed before the Argo's played Sunday, and that we might not have done as well after the game, considering Heath and LeFevours play?????

I dunno if it was signed but a deal was likely in place! Seeing Drew yesterday signing autographs he didn't seem to happy. Maybe he knew what was up? As for Heath they said this morning on TSN that he wasn't happy after finding out about it after having a stellar game getting the game ball on his Bday and then Barker comes and says you have been traded. So I'm not sure he had any idea what was going on.

 

We need to give Heath a huge welcome here as I think this kid is going to be a good pick up!

No, but then again, so can Willy, so I'm not sure that we come out ahead on this one. 

Mos:" So TJ, what can you tell us about how the defence is run?" TJ:"psssss like this,pssss over there  on top, psssss down the middle etc".

Milo:" So Drew, What was Winnipeg doing to be so good?"  Drew:"Ask Matt, my job was counting pigeons".

Yeah I would expect some kind of tweet like the one Willy put out, but on the other hand Twitter is stupid so just save it for the press conference.  As for Glenn's tweet, who knows what the hell he is talking about.  And at this point, I am beyond caring with that guy.

I think he was miffed at being traded again...Is Mont. closer to his timmies in the states?...don't know...otherwise he's going to a team who stands a better chance at post season than the bunch he's with now...He probably meant 'lie to you' (said the same thing about Ottawa) not 'lie on you' ...unless he was referring to a linebacker with the way he printed it..lol

If Glenn is pissed about coming back then he can stay in Mtl or go home to Detroit and hand out double/doubles. 

We got the prize we needed and that's Heath and the draft picks. 

Ambiguos comment from Glenn, but it's easy to interpret as meaning he doesn't like the trade.

Great way to start things off here.

Glenn's comment may have had to do with being benched. Maybe when he signed his incentive laden contract, Popp promised him that, if he was the best choice, he would be the starter. Maybe he still thinks he is.

If it has anything to do with football, it's classless. A guy with his experience should know to keep his Drama off tweeter. Which is why I'm hoping it's not about football.

Glenn thinks everyone be snakes. How long til we're hearing about how Walters be stealin mah cheetos #cheetosnake or something equally dumb.

Ya, it's Kevin Glenn. He's as bad as Jovon and some others who always bring drama to Twitter. It's to be expected...

I expected a better joke from you. I'm disappointed.

Next time I want to see better effort.

I thought #cheetosnake was pretty original.

Kid? He just turned 29. 

Flip him to the Eskies for Franklin. He'd be more than happy to have completed his tour of playing in every CFL city then.

that was one of my first thoughts...he's not exactly young. But, if we can get even 5 years out of him, I'd call that good...

Anyone younger than me is a kid

5 years? when was the last time we had a DB for 5 years?

Jovon Johnson  and we had him from ages 25-30

When was the last time you saw a 34 y.o. DB???

I was thinking Hebert has been playing a long time now, though he moved from safety into that LB spot, which can prolong a career for a DB...

How old is Herbert? Is he playing lb now?

Come on. I had to think hard enough to find a 5yr DB now one that's 34? LOL. Let me think about that for a few days

35 and plays LB/Safety

I don't think Hebert starts anymore but he does see spot duty.

Billy Parker is 35!

Ryan Phillips 33

Brandon Smith 32

 

But I get your point. Not many make it into their mid 30s. I say we can get a good 2.5-3 years out of him though.

Heath has been a standout. Great find. He will be terrific and I'm glad his play has been of such a level to allow us to address a QB shortage. He's a playmaker, enjoy him.

Having Willy play with Milo/Brady/Ray shepherding him could yield big dividends. Too soon to say he's the Argo's QB of the future, but you couldn't bet against him maturing under Milanovich. 

This is what worries me ,I don't like trading Willy before we saw what he could do in front of a decent oline. I wish him well but hope he doesn't come back to haunt us..
