The type of defence that Etchevery has installed would seem to require that his players function as a very cohesive unit, so changing personnel around would be bad news.

Marve seems to not only have the arm to do well in this league, he also appears to have the smarts and the the competitive attitude. With Brohm, we have the best trio of pivots since...since...forever, and maybe the best depth in the league.

Based on the first two weeks worth of games, Willy ought to be rated (arguably) no lower than the third best QB in the CFL.

So now we can forgive Walters for the Korey Banks transaction?

Less Suber is better. I'm not a fan. He's just too short. Yup. He has to roll his socks down to poop.

The joker in the deck is the performance of whomever replaces the steady Chris Greaves. Bowman looked awesome last game and the Montreal defence will have to carry the game for them, if they hope to win. Troy Smith looked a lot better in his second outing, but he admitted that reading CFL defences is still a struggle for him, so Etch's random guidance unit defence ought to really get him confusicated. Bombers 28, the Larks 13.

Willy might need to learn how to smile instead of playing it Buster Keaton deadpan, especially for those radio interviews. What's a Buster Keaton? Its either an ice cream treat at Dairy Queen or a poker-faced silent film star.

Last week, the Argos looked like it was the first day of training camp, and this week it was the Riders' turn to take a collective dump. Its gonna happen, so we ought to be prepared for when its our turn.

Ouch. What was Huffer's phone number again? Is Peach still on the menu?

Renaud is mostly OK, but certainly not a top-three punter in the league, and I have not seen him getting better. He is probably as good as he is going top be and the coaches and management will have to decide if he's good enough. I happen to think we need to do better.

No question that Grigsby's running has been phenomenal, and if he could block and catch as well as he runs, he would be in the NFL by the end of next week. If Grigsby wants the job badly enough and wants to get noticed by NFL scouts, he needs to spend some time with our O-line coach and/or assistant coach. If he cannot round out his game, I have no doubt O'Shea will plug someone in who will run and block.

The problem with being a backup quarterback being thrown into a game with six minutes left and the team being way down is that you know you have only two or three series to both show well and salvage the game. So there has to be a temptation to go long and hard with the passes to try to engineer a miraculous comeback- ergo: gambles.

Either you love bacon or you're wrong.

I like Reilly still. But im happy holding on to my Willy. Even better when your Willy is upright.

Whomever #69 on the Hamilton O-line is, he just got rag-dolled by the pass rush. Didn't even slow his man down.

Reilly looks as good as many here thought he was when he was being pursued by the Bombers.

Don't blame Matty- he's had all those head shots.

And now we get a dose of Rod Black calling the Edmonton-Hamilton game. Ugh.

BC is making Montreal look good but in reality, they are as bad as last week. The only question at the moment is how long Benevides lasts at this rate. Wally just signed him to a 2 year extension so you'd think he's got decent job security. Ask LaPolice and Burke how secure that was. Unless Wally has had a complete change of personality, he is probably close to stroking out right now. Things are going to change soon in BC.

What kind of market are you checking out?

Benevides should start looking over his shoulder soon. The Lions are losing but looking terribly disorganized on both sides of the ball, and I think that Glenn is a bad fit for this team. Either he is not adapting to the BC offense or Khari is not adapting the offense to Glenn's strengths. Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens after half-time.

So, which Import O-lineman is nor good enough? Knapp looked pretty good and so did January for the most part.

I have no problem with the TSN broadcast hyping Ottawa last night. The return of Ottawa to the CFL is a big deal and with a competitive team is good news for all. More teams means a higher profile and who knows- could lead to a 10th team. Toronto is still an ongoing pain in the butt, but the league is in the best shape its been in for decades. And on top of all that, the Bombers had a "character win" against a scrappy team.

You mean buy me more booze? I was thinking more like aspirin, an oxygen tank, nausea suppressant and ice bags.
