WPG. Own thread coming soon.

CAL . How much do you tinker if at all? But somethin aint right here

EDM. Lots of room for improvement.  Reilly another year older

SSK. Canadas team has lots of FAs, Carter leaving. Huge question marks at QB

BC. Lots of smoke but less flame than grease fire in MTL. Whole new coaching staff at least

TOR. Turning point to build on or just a nice story like OTT last year?

HAM. Soap opera . Key FAs looming. Collaros. Manziel thing.

OTT.  Trending down

MTL. Grease fire until further notice.

Cody Fajardo might be a good pickup for our short yardage QB. He's a big guys 6'5" 215lb and still young 25yo.

Sounded like Durant had basically been told he'd be doing it.  I'd be interested in a guy like Fajardo both as a developmental guy for #3 and because of his ability to run short-yardage/option package.

LeFevour ran an option package that was used several times a game last season that was pretty important to the offense.  You really want to push indictments, don't you?

Everyone needs a hobby.

It sincerely worries me that we can't. I really feel like people massively underrate how automatic Fever was last year. I know it's a little thing, but seriously, the guy was damn good... 

 I loved how LeFevour ran 3rd down gambles last year, in that he wasn't just plunging he was looking for holes to exploit and he always found them.  Durant used to be able to do that but I haven't seen much of it in the last 3-4 years.  Eliminate Bond from the equation and 3rd down gambles may actually become "3rd down gambles".

LeFevour was great in short yardage. Automatic or at least it seemed that way. 

It was the following play, on first down, when they left him out there, when they didn't seem to move the ball. That left Nicholls with second and long. 

We’re not going to miss a QB that can’t throw the ball.  End of story.

idea 

Instead of a quarterback who can run a bit,

use a running back who can throw a bit, to carry on short yardage.

Just my opinion but old blue dogs with glaucoma taste better than KFC.

RBs release Drew Tate in order to sign Dom Davis.... Very interesting.

Wow, that's very unexpected.

Well, Drew Tate is a useless insurance policy. It’s the type of insurance that expires when you need to use it and has absolutely zero coverage. 

Exactly. I'm surprised Tate lasted this long with RBs. Wonder what Dom will do in Ottawa....all the best to him.

The Tate release has to be $$$ related right?

Tate to the Riders.

Cauchy Muamba has signed with BC.

I really liked the concept.  You go "JUMBO" for the 3rd down play and the defence does the same, then you go no huddle, and catch them with their big guys on the field and you stretch the field either by going option or going deep.   If the defence doesn't beef up, it makes your 3rd down play a higher percentage play.   If they do, you may be able to catch them ill prepared on the following play.

You are correct though, that the execution wasn't as successful as we  would have hoped.    I still like the concept though.

Didnt think he was going anywhere he likes being close to home but its a huge sign. Heart and soul of the offense.

and with Durant pretty sure we are going to see it more and be very successful...to the point where we could see Durant in for 3..4..5..plays in a row or until a team takes a timeout...there is a stoppage in play or they pull a phantom injury ala the Riders

Now that would be hilarious.

I agree.   The other advantage is that is does give your #2 or  #3 QB some snaps and playing time which is always good should they be required to step up at a later time, plus it gives your #1 a bit of a break.

I thought Bowman retired last year?  Good player but this is a pretty obvious position that Kavis could have used an infusion of younger blood.  I will be literally amazed if Reed is still the Als GM by game 6.

I feel like fighting today. I say 7 games.
