Weve hit and missed on vet fas, high up side young guys, but man we have crushed trades. We gave up Jade Etienne to get Willy so basically got him for nothing. We got a first rounder in 2017 (Faith Ekakitie) TJ Heath and a third rounder in 2018 (Peterman) from Toronto. So right now we have Peterman for Willy. Still a good trade.

And Heath gave us two solid years.
July 23, 20186 yr comment_343855 As a passionate HTC fan I should probably be more enthusiastic. But Masoli and June Jones sap my optimism. But fact of the matter is HAM made out like bandits in this. Maybe an epic fleecing for the ages.

Let’s be real, if he’s even an average starting QB the next season and 2/3’s he’s getting a NFL look. This is a total desperation to sell tickets move.
July 23, 20186 yr comment_343861 Hope Manziel can play well, get some life into the Montreal team on the field, and bring people to Montreal and a few other stadiums. I wouldn't be surprised if some Americans come up to watch Johnny. Edited July 23, 20186 yr by Mark F

He froze his shoulder which was broken to play in the 1990 Grey Cup. He was in tremendous pain the entire game. Matt Nichols the same. They are warriors. Players rally for them. Willy is a wet noodle. Shows no leadership at all. Yeah I saw that too and was thinking the same thing. Even if Willy did in fact injure his hand, he practically seemed relieved about it. I expect better from a veteran supposed to be leader QB and his quit spirit more than anything are why the Als need to make sure this Manziel trade is a permanent move on from him. Schiltz may have been in over his head, but at least he kept trying despite all that abuse he was taking from CGY's defense. Manziel too at least brings a lot more spirit to the Als lineup.
July 23, 20186 yr comment_343872 Willy's hand injury required stitches, so it's a little more than a bobo. I'll bet he's hoping to go on the 6 game so he gets paid for the rest of the year. If not, he'll be cleaning out his locker real soon.

When I was in Montreal last year and walking around in the old town with all of the souvenir shops, I could find Canadiens gear and Impact Gear (even Expos gear!) but not one Alouette souvenir anywhere. I assume the same thing occurs in Toronto too with the Argos.

July 23, 20186 yr comment_343894 I am waiting to see if Manziel starts before putting in my pickems for this week.

Its something HAM, TOR or BC would have done in the pre cap days. MTL threw team building out the window. Good luck finding someone of quality to take over once Kavis is gone

Has lost a step or two and takes some extremely stupid roughness penalties but still without a doubt the best National passrusher around. By all accounts great teammate and great with fans too.
July 23, 20186 yr comment_343909 He can’t be too happy though. He chose to go to the Als so he can play in front of family.

July 23, 20186 yr comment_343912 He’s also extremely underrated as a run stopper. He’s a very good player.

But you can’t put a value on playing in your home town with your family in the stands. Plus he’ll now be living away from his family for the next 4 months
