an actual game week!! Gonna be a lot of clock watching for me out here in AB. Fly out Thursday night...taproom visiting Friday before the game. Woooooo! 

 

The best case scenario is Marc living up to the potential.

Liegghio doing everything allows them to get a extra rotational DL/DE which I think is very important. Think alot of the DL success last year was keeping guys fresh through the game.

 

How long has Jeffcoat been sidelined?

Jeffcoat has been out most of camp if I recall correctly. I'm concerned.

Ottawa plops @ back to back champs or champ champs. 

Jeffcoat barely practiced last year

Per Bauming, Thompson is with the 1st team defense at safety.

I am curious to see how he does.

I think he just has to play within himself and not try to do too much...come up and clean up the garbage so to speak....and be smart....

I Hope for decent games to start the season.

saw something online earlier that Lapo's got them piping in crowd noise during practice this week.,.....he knows, he knows....

I was gonna say it seems like the new norm. Doesn't practice, doesn't TC much or pre season, then just monsters once the games actually count.

Yep, and stay away from the loffler-itus playing only for the hit rather than preventing down field passes.

Bombers won't even break stride with those owies.

Ottawa will start Devonte Williams at RB since Powell is hurt. Williams was on our PR last season.

Rod Black’s Red Black Trivia - there are two Adams on the roster and FOUR Williams! But I wanna keep my eye on #97 Tre Hornbuckle 6’4” DL hailing out of Duke as a team Captain. Winner of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Iron Duke award, as a year round commitment to strength training and conditioning. Both parents were athletes at Murray State In Mo. That’s a name that I hope becomes famous! It’s that cool.

How's this for weird trivia?

The last time the Redblacks scored a touchdown at IGF was Aug 17, 2018.

The two top recievers for each team in that game (WPG - Adams, OTT - Ellingson) now play for the opposite team.

 

Tait: Ellingson

"He’s big. That’s one of the things,” O’Shea said. “Until you stand beside him… I remember standing beside him and Brad Sinopoli years ago (when he and Ellingson were teammates in Ottawa) and going, ‘Look at these two guys.’ Then you forget and then he comes into the building and you go ‘Yup, that’s right. He’s big. Really big.’ Other than that, one of the things I’ve really enjoyed so far is just talking the game with him. He reminds me of Weston.”"

yeah baby!

how many head coaches sit around an talk football with players?

maybe lots do, dont actually know.

 

 

Tait is very good.
