I seem to recall the Bombers or maybe Ed Tait tweeting that the club has no interest in pursuing Matthews.

Yeah they said in that article that the Bombers have no interest in Matthews. 

How is a team with a receiving core as bad as ours not interested in Matthews? Insanity.

There's a weird sort of symmetry at work here- we're can't make mid-game adjustments and we can't make mid-season additions to the team.

It suggests a stubborn way of doing things. Oh, I see what you did there.

Really can’t remember the last guy who was a NFL cut come in and make a huge impact. Most of these guys come in stay on PR rest of year and make impact next year. And not talking about guys who have already played in the league.

Years ago NFL cuts were a staple for every team. Upwards of a dozen guys would come in on each team. Kent Austin was an NFL cut as I recall & took over the qb position in Saskatchewan in 1986, I believe. These guys don't seem to make an impact anymore.  Nor are there anywhere near the numbers as well.

Labatte as an allstar ?

By comparison to the rest of the Riser O-line, yes. However, unless I am mistaken, the Riders have allowed the second-lowest number of QB sacks, remarkable given the quarterback situation there.

Brandon Dozier at S? How do you take anybody out of that defense? Heck Henoc too falls in that boat.

Thing is, when you're on the field as much as the Montreal D is, you're bound to lead in some statistical categories. 

Muamba is tied with Ackie for the league lead of 64 defensive tackles. Doizer is 5th with 54. 

3 of the top 5 leading tacklers are from Montreal.

when your first 5 games are nothing but screen passes and runs, it's hard to give up sacks.

12 sacks given up is the least in the CFL.  The Bombers & Stamps are tied for second with 15.

FWIW Winnipeg has played one game more than both Saskatchewan and Calgary.

Not the second lowest.  The lowest
