Another slow start, add in some terrible D zone play. Helle 5 goals in 14 shots. PP sucked.

What I'd really like to see this year is a dynamic replacement for Janarion Grant.

Peyton Logan's a decent returner, he s no JG, but decent.

The Caps beat Detroit tonight to pull even with the Jets for 1st overall. It would be nice if the Jets could open up some space on Washington and win the President's Cup. I believe it's harder for a Western team to win the President's Trophy because they play tougher opponents than the Eastern teams and have a tougher travel schedule than the Eastern teams. It would be a remarkable accomplishment for the Jets if they could do it.

When a team takes on the persona of a head coach that never gives up and always believes can win you have a team that you can never count out of a game. The winning culture of this team is no accident.

agree but as long as the drop off isn't too much.

Im not sure that I'd call Cobb/Gassama fine. If needed Im not sure either is an adequate starter. But agree with the rest of it.

They are backups, as per my post.

You can't have a full team of starters, you need some "backups" who can step in if needed in game.  That can also play teams.

1 NAT Backup spot
Gavin Cobb
Gassamma

Our Receiving corps is going to be just fine.

Just have a former CFL player to handle the football matters such as rules, fines etc. The commissioner is there for league well being and the major qualification should be sports executive experience.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the commissioners of the NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL all have no experience as pro players.

Nope, but a dog lover who has a knack for business has a leg up on someone who isn't a dog lover.

You should have both, and a lot of players/coaches/GMs have gone to university for business...  just because you played/coached football does not mean you are a dumb jock.

Adam Bighill, for instance.  Think he's just a football meathead?

What a whacky response. @Sir Blue and Gold made a valid point: the commish doesn't need to be a football guy in order to be successful as commish.

Mark Cohon is a perfect example of that. A football acumen can be a positive attribute but isn't a requirement.

I don't think anyone here would label Bighill as such. Why even pose such an infantile question?
