But nothing currently in the works. And from what I understand -- and seems obvious -- Kevin Glenn is not even an option.

Personally, I hope Streveler starts. I'd like to see how he fares against BC's 1's and 2's.

Adams to Esks = Glenn to Montreal? 😉

Adams has an 'Upper Body' injury that's keeping him out of practice, making him the wrong guy to bring in if we need someone right away. His 'experience' is 7 games, 43 of 78, for 583 yards. A bit better than Ross, but not that much.

There was no popping noise when I tore my ACL.

I had the same experience. Knew right away something was really wrong when I tore my ACL on a non-contact Volleyball play. Let's hope that isn't Matt's experience.

Sounds like some of our rookies made the most out of their opportunities, which is great. FTR: Edmonton played a bunch more starters against Regina than they did against us.

I don't like the way Brown uses 15 words when 1 or 2 will do.

I like Matty, Climy, Milt and Sanchez. I don't like Shultz or Burris.

I find it funny and somewhat sad that anyone cares what Pederson has to say.

Not the only explanation, just one of the most likely possibilities.

Agree to disagree, but fair enough.

@EdTaitWFC - Canadian DT Ian Marouf was just carted off the field with an injury. Gotta suspect the two things have something to do with each other.

The key points are: Which DI on defence do you sit to get Flanders on the field? A DE (Roh?), LB(Wild?) or DB/Returner(Fogg?)? Is it better to use a DI on a backup receiver/returner or Flanders who isn't a returner IMO? Can LaFrance and/or Demski do Flanders job well enough so we don't have to us a DI on Flanders?

A rookie receiver could give one of the big 3 a rest during the game. He could also be the main returner so we would get double duty from 1 DI. I'd rather backup an import receiver with another import receiver then rely on 3 NI receivers, or a 2 back set, if one of the imports gets injured and they've all had injury history over the last few years.

Were not going to sit any of Bowman, Adams or Dressler to get a rookie import receiver/returner into the game, but it's no problem to sit them to get Flanders into the game to run a 2 back set that we can run with Lafrance or Demski without taking one of the big 3 off of the field. That doesn't pass the sniff test.

To get Flanders in the game, we have sit one of Adams/Dressler/Bowman. As a DI, he has to take an import off and it won't be our QB or an OL.

I think that's the reason we brought him in in the first place.

Flanders is the better back by far. I'd like to keep him around in case of an injury to Harris, but I don't see him getting on the game day roster due to the ratio. I don't think we brought Roh in to be on the PR. Corney and especially Ekakatie are rotation guys, not starters yet.

I expect Medlock, Roh, a DB (Fogg as he's also a returner), and an LB (Wild if he's not a SMS casualty). I don't see the big need for Flanders now that we have LaFrance as an in game Harris replacement. If we use a DI on offence, I hope it's one of the new receivers who can also return.

The overunder is 70K. 😉

Manziel and Cato are similar. Athletic, talented, immature, head cases. The most likely outcome isn't good, but there's always a chance that Manziel could mature and become the player that folks thought he could be. If that happens, he'll be back to the NFL in a couple of years.

Great signing! Love having an all star quality MLB. Best signing of the offseason IMO and this is an off season that included signing Bowman. Gotta think that we will be able to stop the run this year. Heck, we should be a dominant defence with 11 NI starters and 2 or 3 DI's. Hall should look like a genius.

Manziel will be good for the CFL's name recognition in the US of A. I'm looking forward to see what he can do, but I'm not expecting much, especially in the first year while he scrapes the rust off and learns the differences in the CFL game.

Evidence? What evidence are you talking about?
