Truth is, time stalks us all, and as we age, we are not only more susceptible to injury, we take longer to heal. 

True. Then we die. Then rot.

Now do it with 5 angry defenders in your face trying to cripple you.

Exactly.  I played hockey and the practice superstars sucked when it mattered

Is it just me or did that throw have absolutely no zip?

It was like slow mo.

Sooooo... we have to equip our receivers with big rubber buckets and get them to stand still during the plays?

Hey, that was a nice corner route Kamau ran there, I see the hands are still an issue though. 

Drops it in the endzone. Cut. 

That's dropping a ball in a nice spot on a corner fade that only the reciever can get if played correct...a ball u purposely lob with air under it...and not on a rope...

Tough, cynical crowd in here today....

I would call us "punchy" today. I blame the CFL/CFLPA. 

I think for the last 15 years of going on here (and Ourbombers) that every pre season camp SOMEBODY looks fantastic and awesome... only for them to be cut and the folks on here to be shocked that he didn't make it but some no name other person has.  

I'm assuming Saunders was cut because he's older and the others showed as much (or if not more) and the new guys have a much higher ceiling without a history of injuries.  

 

I was cheering for Saunders. Hell of a player b4 his accident. Would have been a nice comeback story but it's not 3 years ago and there appears to be a bunch of younger guys who look better. 

That's football.  I mean he's the first of like 30 more WR cuts to go. Still gotta cut 60 dbs too

Tyler used to do that at practice. Or stand at the 40 yard line & hit the uprights.

Watched the interview with Schoen very articulate,if we get a preseason game i am thinking this guy might surprise some people.

Excited to see him play. Great interview and he just vibes as this FIFO/Canadian Mafia guy.

Man I hope the game happens tomorrow. I'm done waiting for more football.

Not only that but Fajardo is a master at placing the ball where he cannot be intercepted.  Can't be caught by his receivers either but I try to look at the positive.

Ai yi yi....

Well, that answers the question. He's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but if so. give him the max.

Behind a paywall but big yikes for Saunders

Just an FYI, Winnipeg Free Press sub can be had for $1.50 for 22 weeks due to Manitoba's 150.

Apparently incident happened during the long weekend, club found out Tuesday and he was cut the same day.
