Argos look like us... on short yardage....

Final Cuts
Clarence would be a helluva #3....depending on money, and what the coaches think about the new import blood.....

Final Cuts
He is experienced and has a great attitude......

As I alluded to earlier....,. Daniels was mediocre import OL-man #574

Talking to some folks, got a somewhat different impression.... Laine Day! (also!) Bombers Opener June 24

Final Cuts
Not surprised based on Bucknor's play, the last couple of years. Surprised that this club finally had the stones to do it.

Main Camp
Macho is a veteran presence, , versatile, vocal, with a gung ho attitude, and is a good guy in the room....who provides stability and experience. We are lucky to have him, as he is a guy we really wanted to have, all along, How am I'm doing so far?

Throw the ball downfield
OL still a work in progress.....far, far from a finished (as in real competent) product.
-
Wylie post practice
Wylie is 100% correct, about the myriad of factors that go into good pass pro. A more pertinent question would be.....why are we so poor at virtually every one of them....

First cuts
Mike hasn't finished with the film yet....

Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Walters is trying......but it takes a while to build Canuck OL content......when was starting from, literally ground zero. (previous managements) One way to help matters is to bring some top-end import talent, there.....instead of a endless string of journeymen...
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Partial mulligan on it being an X game, alright. Certainly did not expect the full O package, though execution was lacking..... But with 10 day prep for the opener.......any excuses about not holding blocks, slow start, not getting the ball out on time, not being able to get 6 inches on 3rd down..et al. ......will not be accepted
-
Throw the ball downfield
Yup, need a back that can run through 3-4 tacklers, on a consistent basis....
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Only an X game, but.....overall, some of the optics on O were pretty disturbing.......slow start, dink and dunk passing attack, terrible short yardage conversions, OL looking shaky, etc, etc, etc.... Sort of like playing tapes.....of the last few years. We should see the "full" package on O, in the opener.....then we will see......something or other
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
If Lapo is "playing possum" (and I think so up to a point) with the new look O.....fine. As long as with 10 days prep time, the opener does not look like "road kill" Or we have yet another uber slow start on O, which puts us behind the 8-ball.
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Overall Walters is taking the right approach in terms of long term building, the Canuck draft this year is looking pretty good........the question mark is the US recruiting....we never seem able to plug some apparent holes in the roster
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Would suggest 3 import OL.....except we can't recruit competent American hogs, to save our lives...
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Bucknor is still the go-to-guy for the opposition. Truth is, we have exactly one PROVEN guy on this OL.....one guy who will probably be good, and one guy who could be good....and I know the guy gets love on the local boards.....but Neufeld is not on that list.
-
Preseason 2 - Ottawa
Fantastic job by Lapo. He has kept that new uptempo, quick release, uber YAC attack extremely well hidden and securely under wraps. The double doses of vanilla are certainly doing the trick. In fact... and this is sheer brilliance - it even resembles his last tour here. Wait until the real bullets fly.....or the screwcaps....

Anyone concerned about our DHB's?
