Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Oddly enough he's had a pretty good NFL career. The fact that was 8 years ago and he's still in the NFL. No doubt in my mind he would be a productive player. His speed was/is something else. Not like Trent Richardson who's a fat over weight running back who's skill set wouldn't even be suited for the CFL

I think some expected Smith to be the big play guy and Dressler to be productive but not dominant. Dressler has done everything and more in my eyes since being a Bomber and his play hasn't trickled off at all. He will be a huge part of our offense down the stretch but a trio of Adams-Dressler-Walker would be absolutely dangerous and definitely put our core with the very best in the league.

He's actually worked with the NFL this last draft and mentored NFL hopefuls. He fully takes responsibilities for his actions and his career. He's really an interesting guy to hear talk. Very open and honest about his past and pretty intelligent too.

I wouldn't drop Dressler. He's our best reciever when healthy. Denmark unfortunately has been mostly invisible. It's too bad because him and Nichols had such good chemistry and part of the reason for our resurgence was the play of Nichols and Denmark together. I'd love for us to make a big mid season move. We're a good football club and another receiving threat would certainly help this offense.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
No one will trade for Oko unfortunately. I see his days numbered at his salary. Jeffcoat has been great.

Hey Ripper
I don't always or usually as a matter of fact agree with his opinion but I do give him credit for backing up his opinion, and adding to the discussion.

GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
It's going to be a dog fight in the west this season. Just have to take care of business when we play and everything will take care of itself. If we beat a scrappy Montreal team we going into labour day sitting pretty at 7-2 I like our chances at 8-3 or 9-2 after the home and home against the Riders.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
His play calling is average but his schemes and " X's and 0's" are probably the best in the league if not right near the top.

If it worked Lapo would have looked like a genius. I don't necessarily agree with it but we had a few games last season where the gadget play worked and we praised Lapo for it.

3 stars plus HH broken esks streak edition
What about the man getting these guys the ball? 80 percent passing the ball, 4th straight game with no turnovers, and 10 yards shy of 400 yards, not to mention a modest 27 yards on the ground.

Elite game manager. Nothing to see here

Hey Ripper
Haha! I mean as funny as it is I don't think we need to snoop to his level. Let the play do the talking. I'm ok with every other team under estimating Nichols.. Just going to make it that much sweeter when we pull out the W

I actually don't see Edmonton winning anymore then 12 games which hey is a nice season but I don't see them as the team to beat in the CFL right now. That's still Calgary in my opinion
-
Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
Edmonton has played Calgary or us yet I wouldn't call them elite just yet. They're a good football team. Are they as good as there 7-0 record indicates? Probably not but give them credit for pulling through in crunch time. Reilly and Nichols are very similar in that manner. Both QB's are one and two respectfully in fourth quarter comebacks this season. I think this game will go down to the wire again. Hopefully we can put a ***** in the armor. If we win we're only one game out of first and up 1-0 on the season series. How crazy is that.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
Well for one Glenn always has nearly double the INT's and the Bombers have nearly more then double the wins. So take your 40 old Glenn I'll take Nichols any day. Twice on game day

Addison Richards Retires
You would be surprised how many junior/college players use steroids.. There's no reason to believe in a league where the stakes are higher that players aren't using. They're just finding ways to get past the system.

It really shows a lot about your fan base.. The fact DD was considered royalty and now that he's on another team his name and legacy are dirt.

Side note: Should be a very interesting offseason in regards to QB's. Where will Franklin end up? Does Lulay stay in BC to hold a clipboard even though it's evident he can still be a starter, does Collaros stay in Hamilton, what about the future of aging QB's like Glenn, Ray, and Durant? Should be interesting to see how everything plays out.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
You may need to break the bank for him because if you think a 40 year old Kevin Glenn is the answer then think again.

GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
Sorensen being on the top 50 list was an absolute head scratcher. He was pretty bad in Winnipeg and found a home in the starting rotation in Edmonton filling out a need but being far from from a great player. I feel like they just wanted to pick a starting Canadian OL and put him in the top 50 and pat themselves on the back thinking they know more then the average fan.

I'm fine with your post. I'm actually mostly in agreement.. But your use of the word "storey' instead of "story" multiple times makes me wonder if you know the difference.

Testing Our Mettle: Eskies Coming Here
As long as Dressler is in the line up for when we play the Rough Riders is all that matters. Can't wait to see him torch that defense on labour day
