just for sh*ts and giggles if you fielded the whole roster with the best Canadian players out there, how competitive would the team be in the CFL?

Wayne Gretzky - hid him from 1979 draft year because of personal contract service with PP. Leon Draisaitl - Third Overall pick in 2014 entry draft rewarded for losing. Connor McDavid - First Overall pick in 2015 entry draft rewarded for losing. Again, my jealousy and petty exaggerations has no bounds.

If this match happens, hope they both lose. I know I know, cheer for a Canadian team blah blah blah. Edmonton has been gifted with not one, not two, but maybe three generational type players over the years. Yes I'm jealous and a petty sore loser. Go Bombers?

For the O this where it all starts so do whatever it takes please and thank you.

Fair.

I saw talk of Ehlers possibly being pursued by the Leafs. Gross. If that happens, never did like Ehlers.

I like how you threw that zinger in right at the end.

Decent yardage well placed with good/great hangtime to allow our punt return guys to do their jobs is all I ask.

Just curious, has he indicated he wants to stay in football after his playing days are done?

Did not know that. Good to know.

I’ve been told over the years I’m somewhat of a sarcasm expert but I’m having a hard time deciphering this statement.

Fact.

Thing I’m most interested in as the real season starts is how they use (or not use) ZC and CS as a qb tandem to keep the defense on their heels. Please please no decoy shite. Oh and how DS performs coming back from his injury will be something we are all hoping for a good result. We all know the theme this year in the CFL will be ‘anything but the Bombers’ so let’s continue to frustrate this motto. Lessss go Blue.

When reading this kind of makes me feel better with our 8 or 9 consecutive game losing streak on road playoff games.

Like I responded to Noeller, I'm not seeing it, but if the technical experts agree with your statement in bold after game tape review than I stand corrected.

Hey if that results in him lighting it up this year, fantastic. But if it doesn't and he continues to get reps, not sure how that fits with MOS's vision for the team.

Like I said I'm not seeing it but hey I'm not the technical expert so when game tape review happens by the experts, that is where fact can be found.

Genuine question: whether its 1 rep or 30, is JT performing at the level that's required? Because when I'm focused on him when watching our Blue play, he seems to get washed out more times than not no matter what rep it is.

I'm thinking the problems were equally distributed among all involved in our kick returning game.

How fun would it have been if we had met the Panthers in the finals this year? Ahh PM you wanted us to win the Cup, remember?

Fair, great vision thank you love me some MOS but much more complex in terms of how that vision translates into behaviours, actions, decisions, reality. To defend @Booch at bit here, whom btw I don't agree on everything he posts here (love you brother), I don't think he has ever said drop players as soon as better talent arrives on the scene, not caring about creating order, discipline, continuity, or peaceful camaraderie. You present this in an very extreme black and white manner. There's lots of grey here and room for varying interpretation in how said vision is achieve. In fact, I don't think many of us here on Morning Big Blue think like this extreme or, as you say, emulate wanting Chris Jones way of doing business here in Bomberland. I know you and some others get tired of hearing names like Jake Thomas come up over and over again but as long as decisions are being made to keep putting players like him (I love what JT has done for us) on the field, reality tells us it is not to the betterment of the team and does not correlate well with certain parts of said vision.

What does this mean exactly?

Hang time and placement can go together, no?

Apply bubble wrap to him please and thank you.

Health, family #1 everything else a far second.
