Return of Denmark?
I thought it was weird how Nichols really didn't target Davis that often last night, even after we lost Dressler.

Return of Denmark?
Mayo and McDuffie are in the mix too, and with Loffler at S we can start 4 import receivers. I think we'll start Kohlert, Davis, McDuffie, Mayo, Sheppard. Denmark will be a DI. Fogg will help out on returns.

OK, it IS Willy ...
I'm sure we're gonna see Willy again this year. Hopefully somehow we get to see the quick, decisive, and accurate Willy of 2014 and not the weirdly erratic statue of 2016. Because yeah, Nichols made throws the Willy hasn't connected on all year and those throws made all the difference.

Let's remember some guys
Walls was a beast in the 2007 Grey Cup. He wanted it bad, you could see it. Chris Garrett should've been our next great running back. He had all the tools: power, moves, and speed.

Penton Lists our QBs...
I would sure love to see what Willy could do with the eternity that Reilly gets in the pocket.

Note that Garza would be a Grey Cup champ if Blaise Bryant could field a kickoff cleanly. I really loved watching Good Bishop play. Our three-game win streak in 2009 was super fun, he could really sling it. But yeah, Bad Bishop...

Week 4 Games - Wed (Ott @ TO) , Fri (Ham @ Mtl) & Sat (BC @ SK)
Like many, I'm not a fan of Rod Black as a commentator, but I have to feel bad for him for being contractually obligated to call this game.

Just found this. It's got dozens of Grey Cups starting in the early 1960s! https://www.youtube.com/user/Krusty21/search?query="grey+cup"+-journey

Whoah Trevor Harris 28/31 for just shy of 400 yards and zeropicks. Dude's in a serious groove.

Bob Irving & CFN
Here's Knuckles calling the 1987 East Final on CFN. Alas, one of the most disappointing losses in Bomber history as well as Tom Clements' and Willard Reaves' swan songs. I didn't have time to seek out a happy game. Good lord, the pick Clements threw at 1:29:20 was freakish. Dude was a real gunslinger, he always threw lots of picks. tho I gotta say that in a way it was good for the Argos to win this one and go to the Grey Cup. 1987 was one of the top three Grey Cups in my life.

Montreal down Glenn, S.J. Green, Carter, Stafford, and Sutton. Huge adversity, be interesting to see how they come out but I bet they look preseason bad. I've got Montreal in the pick-ems but that was when I thought it was Glenn playing, wish I could change it.

Advice needed on how to create a CFL fan
My wife, who is not a football fan, loves the everyman feel to the CFL. She loves hearing about Khari Jones' stage career and Obby Khan's restaurant and Cvetty's Pets and Kevin Glenn's donut franchises and so forth. Also, the CFL website is getting much much better. Realtime play tracking appears to work now and the "news" section is actually worth reading (for me.) I was all set to come in here and complain about how the stats history was removed in last year's redesign, but it appears to be back, and so are the historical game results.

Advice needed on how to create a CFL fan
The biggest differentiator between the two games, I think, is that the tackling in the NFL is so good and the field is so small that you get far less of the exciting open-field action you get in a good CFL game. In this case, the superior talent leads to a less exciting game. It's like how junior hockey is more entertaining than the NHL -- the kids haven't been coached up 1000% on goal prevention yet and there's more disparity in the talent levels among the players, so defensive coverage is looser and the game can be more exciting. It's more fun to watch people achieving things instead of watching people preventing other people from achieving things.

Week 4 Pick 'Ems
Hamilton / Montreal game feels tricky to pick. Montreal is missing their top three receivers but Masoli is playing like Joey Elliott. Who's worse? Gonna flip a coin here.
-
Derek Jones Starting?
Loffler got some reps back there too -- he was blitzing on the Leggett pick six and looks like he hurried the throw a bit.

Anthony Allen on a tear to start the game, then fumbles -- somewhere, Corey Chamblin is nodding sagely.
