Training camp is over .... adjustments have been made  and its time for the opening kickoff

Anybody change their minds on how preseason changed their expectations for this year .... Montreal thrashing Ottawa changed mine .... cutting Willy raise my hopes for the Argos .... Edmonton looks stronger than I first thought and Regina even worse

For the first time in years I am forecasting Winnipeg finishes first in the league  .. just an optimistic hunch .... I forecast these final standings:

Winnipeg

Calgary

Vancouver

Edmonton

Ottawa

Montreal

Toronto

Hamilton

Regina

me too if we were scrap heaping..  I honestly don't think we need another DB unless Johnson is out long long term and we suffer another injury..

Well he signed with the riders so **** him lol.

Why on earth would we consider Phillips? For his past work?

He's basically one season removed from being an all-star... led the league INTs in 2015

Last year, he had no safety help...

Phillips is DONE. 2 years is a long time for a 34 year old DB.

Bingo.

"What have you done for me lately?" 2015 is a long time ago in pro sports, especially when a player is on the tail end of his career.

I'd imagine chris jones pressers look a little like this;

While it's comical he would close practice because of 1 ST play in a game they won no less, I feel a little bad for the fans that miss out due to this obvious paranoia

Maybe John Murphy is advising Jones the same way he advised Mike Kelly...

Bombers have closed one this year and I believe tomorrow's practice is too.

I heard he's accusing Bob Dyce of wiretapping him too. Terrible!

"As soon as they walked out on the field they identified it in five seconds so you know somebody had to be here watching practice and told them" Jones said

Definitely that. Not like your a super shitty coach or anything Chris.

Closing practice is no big deal, it's perfectly within the rules to do it, every teams does.... but what I find funny is Chris Jones is so arrogant he thinks that he devised a ST play so brilliant that there's no way any other team could possibly recognize it... "they figured out what we're doing, therefore there must be someone spying!!"

His record as a HC in Sask indicates he hasn't been fooling too many people over the last two years... other than the Sask fans...

Absurd.

Such an apropos word choice for that guy.

Yes Chris, most Coaches believe the only way to beat the Riders is by spying on practices...

When I thought about his statement, I came upon the belief that this is yet another deflection by Chris Jones. 

As in "Look at what my right hand is doing" and not look at what I'm doing...

 

?Prying eyes, they're watching you, they see your every move...?

Chris Jones is a turd. The hubris of that man is immeasurable.

Kent Austin hit the nail on the head with regard to Jones' whining.

I see no one has mentioned it was Dickensen that closed practices first, doesn't fit the narrative I guess
