Fun to sit and watch practice today... Been about 20 years since I was last able. With respect to the late great Randy Turner, the king of Odds and Sods writing.... here's some thoughts: -Al

Just to speak to Wolitarsky’s character and just what a good dude he is … few years back, some friends and I went to go see him play at Earl’s on Main and we ended up chatting with him and Streveler …

Really easy to always say that there's some mystical coach out there that would be a better fit.  We've been through generations as CFL fans watching teams including our own who keep believing that.

Someone here lives in Thompson, I think Tracker, maybe? If he does, I can see why he doesn't drive to practice after work. You don't have to go to practice to be a fan. Yeah it can be boring at times when the coaches are inserting new plays & eveyrone is in a huddle looking up to the sky at a piece of paper held up for the players by a coach yelling instructions. 

I am the one currently living in Thompson and driving to practice would be pretty far. However, I had a house in Winnipeg up until 2 years ago, and I used to attend TC a few times. I never gave any reports because most of the TC reports I ever read did not really match what my eyeballs were seeing, and I'm not saying that's a good or bad thing, just that we all tend to pick horses and it skews TC reports imo.

Case was decent on returns last year.  If they gave him some run to focus on it I'm sure he'd be dangerous but also just get you 10 yards every time.  Both Mitchell's are the style of trying to break one every single time which is great the one time every half season they break one, not so great when they lose you 5 yards trying to outrun contain.  Cobb had better return #'s on same squad than D Mitchell.

Overall I expect our special teams units to be more athletic, physical and consistent.  That was really prioritized in the off-season.

I would absolutely love to land McAllister. He's a legit threat to score anytime he gets the ball.

yup....and Jackson/Hogan would likely have a lot of offensive touches for him too....dude is explosive

I don't want to see another musical-chair in the kick returner department. 

If we go into yr with Cobb or Case...thats a big step backward....Case showed nothing other than he was average and had zero explosiveness....Cobb is what he is...serviceable but far from dynamic and far from a field flipper and with one on the roster to be a returner and receiver depth as well is a big ol Meh....we can and should do better

Time to move away from the "everyone is a starter" which is horseshit and actually bring in a legit talent....and if it means having to cut bnait with on old retread on downside with zero upside....so be it...

He then appears and calls you vermin?

AND says he's still booking a fight with Bauer..............He must hold the record for 'getting the boot' off of CFL sites
