Anybody see Bighill on the sidelines

[NewBlue]

Good to see Augustine getting some plays in.
Is that the same punter who punted out of bounds earlier?  This one though was nearly blocked.

[NewBlue]

Parker hurt, looks like it might be more than an ouchie

[3rdand1.5]

I get it..it's preseason, but our run defence is yucky

[NewBlue]

MOS looks at least 5 years younger 

[Tee42]

Drew Brown is not the guy. Sorry they need a solid back up. It?s not him it?s been too many years.

When Lawson was in the game we actually looked much better! I think he will be huge for us on first downs!

Manning wouldnt be the guy with that o-line Brown had

Hard to tell who is in the game with all the switches on every series.

Observations:

1. Matt Cole has done well as a returner so far.
2. Not one pass thrown to any rookie receiver. Not many in game 1 either.
3. Lots of throws to Agudosi but few have been catchable.
4. Not one rookie import RB has touched the ball.

Not sure what injury Parker experienced but he was walking funny when he went to the locker room. Showed extreme pain but I couldn't even tell exactly where / what it was.

Punting: I couldn't tell who was punting most times.  Liegghio was flagged for an illegal punt O/B's that was originally marked at the 17 yard line? Another punt ( might have been Sheehan ) went O/B very short.

Obviously we didn't have a lot of K/O's but Castillo hit his FG attempt.

No stats yet on CFL.CA to show who did what.

And no Demski, Schoen, Lawler. Bailey only on the field a couple of plays. Essentially most passes were to Agudosi and O'Leary-Orange.

[Pete]

our dline still having no pressure

[Pete]

speak of the devil... Thomas just had a sack
Of the rookies only Cole is making an impression

[NewBlue]

speak of the devil... Thomas just had a sack

And that 96 Schmekel guy looks big, getting doubled teamed even.

[NewBlue]

Manning wouldnt be the guy with that o-line Brown had

While thats true, I thought the Oline did decent 1st Q, but once some of the newbies got in there it broke down a bit.
Doesn't help when Brown is bouncing back & forth. Already Pigrome looking better.

[Pete]

Can Pigrome play running back ? Wow
