I dunno, did you see Stanley's brutal performance last game, knocked flat on his backside by Hutchins, and Hicks blew by him so fast he had sunburn. He was awful. Either way you look at it, both our tackles will be suspect and pain is coming Brown's way, I just hope he doesn't get injured as then the tide turns to BC's favour.

Lucky for us Taylor & Tavai aren't Hicks & Hutchings!  Stan should have a better game.  Remember, Vant wasn't even good enough last year to beat out Rand at RT...
Never go full Johnston!

Maybe so, but I bet he wouldn't get pancaked by Hutchins, that was down right ugly from your LT

I see Casey Sayles was added back to the Lions AR yesterday, for sure he's going to want to get in on the fun.

Gadzooks, BC introducing rookie running back Emani Bailey a 5'-7" 200 lb bowling ball with breakaway speed, the postgame storyline better not be comparing him to Charlie or Mack Herron.  Bombers have a long history of having trouble containing surprise players, especially RB's.

BB should take this game but anything is possible...

It's actually comical. We suck when we plan around the opponent, because they'll just do something we don't expect. Then we also suck when we face brand new players like noname qbs and rbs!

Hmm, maybe one must conclude...
Never go full Johnston!

Wow, someone really screwed up the fantasy site this week... Brady isn't listed as an option!!  Sometimes they screw up and don't include a rookie in his first couple of games... but never seen a super-high-cost vet like Brady disappear before!

If our OL holds up and Brady cooks we win by 2 majors

Of course the turnover battle will loom large but not too worried there (crosses fingers)

Keep an eye on Woodbey, how many reps on D and if he plays teams. Will be excited to get people's take on him.

I'm not sure if Woodbey plays on ST's but we'll see. We have seemed to be tinkering with players on ST's the last couple of weeks. Hazen and then Jackson last week. Novak and Ball also saw duty as well.                       

It's not clear who is being replaced or why. It might be one way of getting him up to game speed and conditioning after missing the start of the season.

One game at a time

What does that tell ya!!!!

We just need to play a good clean game. Stupid penalties, and turnovers are not welcome. TC has had all week to plan for Betts and company. Brownie will need to get the ball out a little quicker tonight. D will have to press and contain Salter. The 13th man could play a big part in rattling this kid.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Team discipline seems to be lacking, too many players getting involved in after whistle boasting and in your face confrontations need to chill out, team leaders need to warn them how much O'Shea hates that stupidity.

"Kaidon Salter, the freshman quarterback for the University of Tennessee, faced misdemeanor charges related to marijuana possession and driving without a license.

The incident occurred on a Saturday morning, and Salter was stopped by police for not having tail lights and a tinted plate cover on his vehicle. He admitted to having approximately 4 grams of marijuana and instructed his passenger to throw it out when stopped by law enforcement.

Salter's suspension from the team was lifted after the incident, but he was dismissed from the program due to the nature of the charges."

He has also apparently had issues with past coaches.

We will see how that all plays out with his new team, BC.

Wow! how times have changed! I almost got kicked off the team at SMU cause I had a Beatles haircut. Coach called me in the office and said either the haircut goes or I go! I of course went and got a flattop the same day.!
