Pouted in ‘01 and disrupted the team chemistry late in the year because he wanted the ball more when the 3-headed Mills/Blount/Roberts machine was dominating, then did his walkout, and decided getting ripped the night before the Grey Cup was the way to go and we all saw how that turned out. Then another faux “retirement” bit of drama, a careless fumble in the ‘07 East Final that led to Glenn’s busted arm, another no-show in the big game which led Milt Stegall to call out his work ethic and professionalism, and then an ignoble hush hush departure from the team. Have not found my way to forgive him or respect him for those transgressions no matter what great numbers he put up.

Just such a natural talent. I too really wish he had the drive to be better because he was a special player even with all his flaws.

Oliveira seems to know his blocking assignments better.

CFL Hall of Fame, +10,000 career rushing yards, avg. 5.4 per carry, +3000 receiving. 6 x 1000 yard rushing seasons. MOP nominee. ANY CFL team would have loved to have him on the squad, despite his warts.

He would start on every cfl team right now if he was in his prime.

Putting up back to back 2000 yard seasons (running and receiving) in 2005 and 2006 with how putrid our offensive line was is nothing short of greatness. He was without a doubt one of the most dominating running backs of all time.

June 30, 20223 yr comment_573571 A couple weeks? That wouldn't be so bad. I assumed it was much worse.

Maybe both are guys that are just too good to pass on or wait on. Or maybe it’s we need ol and are very fortunate to have two guys of their calibre available. Either way isn’t bad but having a rookie on the ol is a rare thing around here. tre ford starting? Same guy who is 1/3 for 8 yards and a pic on the season? Is this jones head games or Chris jones being crazy?

The Elks had a decent chance of knocking off the Ti-Cats with Arbuckle coming off an improved performance against the Stamps, but this move makes absolutely no sense.
