 Leggett hasn't practiced very much at all. I don't think he will be playing.

Yep just the one day of light practise so far.

I seem to recall that yesterday O'Shea said that Leggett would not dress against the Esks. The way he phrased it, it sounded that Leggett was day-to-day.

With this franchise day to day could be any where from one day to life.

I assume if our D falters out of the gate, i.e., 2-3 games in, Richie Hall will be shown the door? 

I think nichols buys every one time. Worst case scenario He would get axed around ldc/bjb imo. But I dont think it happens.

I wonder if Ryan Dinwiddie is the first "straight-from-college" QB in CFL history to start a Grey Cup game? 

....I really don't want to know the answer.

Dinwiddie completed University in 2003, was with the Bears in 04 and 05, signed with with the Bombers in 2006, then started his first start in the Grey Cup of 2007.

To me, the phrase "straight from college" doesn't take 4 years.

Busy few days for trades.

 

Here's the back-end of the deal, not much for a dominant D.E.

TORONTO — The BC Lions have officially acquired defensive end Shawn Lemon from the Toronto Argonauts, the teams announced Tuesday morning, in exchange for a player on the club’s negotiation list.
