 :) bombers special teams are not a problem. But grant is special...he gets one every second game it seems.

No, but there will be one hair tackle.

I think he gets one to prove a mistake was made by not re signing him. Anger and ego are great motivators

Would have been nice to see Lucky Whitehead returning for us. Head to head with the guy who squeezed him off the roster here way back when. Also the hair tackle factor would be roughly equal.

So, you want a guy that the opponent beat out 5 years ago to be our returner?

Also, no.  The dreaded hair tackles of Grant are going to outnumber Lucky 5 to 1, I'm abraid to say...

I do! Lucky has been elite in his own right. Kase... not so much. MOS seems really high on him though.

You are right, Lucky *has been* elite, but right now, he's on the PR of a team that desperately needs a good return game and a good WR. 

Lucky didn't get a sniff in FA, and got brought off the couch to our PR when the sky was falling, and hasn't been able to impress enough to get an AR shot over an unproven rookie, with a coach that everyone complains loves his vets too much.

Sorry, but Lucky's time may have passed...

Grant is 31 in Nov. Whitehead just turned 32 last month. Similar age. Going off the practice I saw this week, Lucky looked very good. I think it's just MOS wanting to give Kase another chance that we haven't seen Lucky play yet.

Kase is not the answer. A blind man can see that. MOS stubborn loyalty in action once again.

I'm curious. Where would you rank MOS among the CFL head coaches?

First.

Name another head coach who's gone to four straight Grey Cups.

Sorry but in professional sports it is what have you done for me today! Not what you did for me in the past! It is hard to accept at times but that is the way of professional sports.

HUGH CAMPBELL of the old Eskimos! That was WAY TOO EASY! ;) He made it to 6 straight to be precise (1977-1982). Lost the first one in a strange way (staple gate GC to Montreal), then won 5 in a row. You young kids need to learn your history!

Read it and weep....from WIKIPEDIA:

In 1977, Campbell was named head coach of the Edmonton Eskimos, where he took the Eskimos to the Grey Cup game in Montreal that first year but lost 41–6 in a major blowout on an icy field against the Montreal Alouettes. It was the last Grey Cup championship game coach Campbell would lose, as the Eskimos won the next five Grey Cup games, from 1978 through 1982, an all-time CFL consecutive championships record.

Grant might take two back tonight

not as returner anyways.

Give him a chance to MAKE HIS CASE! ;) :D

well at least Grant didn't break the record against his old team....small consolation

Uh, MOS's "past" success is just 8 months ago, with his 4th GC appearance.  Players might get the shaft if they don't produce in 8 months, but in HC-land 8 months is nothing.  MOS gets a long leash.  It's not his fault basically everyone is injured.

He's made his case and it's case closed!!🤩🤩

Kase has yet to get to full speed in two games. If he can't commit and go, make reads at full speed, he's just not a CFL returner. Give me Lucky.

It's Case, and he is looking better.

In 10 years MOS has had 3 great seasons and 1 great playoffs.

But he was able to win what few have, back to back Grey Cups.  And we lost a year in between to covid. Can't think of anyone else I would rather have still.

Yeah, my bad. I just had read a Sun article that called him Kase through the whole thing.

Well that's messed up.  Someone in WFC should tell the Sun crew at next practice so they can korrekt that mistace.
