Well, that was awkward. He clearly did not want to answer any of those questions.

Beyond. I'd say he handled himself pretty well considering the nature of some of those questions.

I thought the questions were soft balls, to be honest. And he still skirted them the best he could.

The BB should be able to beat the Als next week but stranger things have happened before...

Really? That's a really touchy subject and some got pretty invasive the more he tried to skirt them.

They play the Als this week.

Amazing how some reporters don't have any interest in attending football press conferences until something like this pops up.  Thought Houston and O'Shea handled it as well as they could but loved Younger's response.

It appears that Hallett will miss this game after being listed as a " DNP ". Logical that we add Lawson back to the AR for depth on the DL as the best Canadian available? Alternatively they decide on the 2nd global Munier-Bailey?

No idea what they decide about Vanterpool or Logan who appear to be healthy now.

I didn't fins them invasive at all. Seemed like they did all they could not to talk about it.

They didn't use the words "domestic violence". They didn't ask him what happened. He neither claimed guilt or innocence.

They asked him how he felt about being released. They asked him if he was surprised. They asked him if there were conditions about coming back. The only thing they pressed him on was if he had to do anything special to return to play, which he avoided answering as best as he could, but didn't press on why he was released in the first place.

It didn't answer any questions I have, to be honest.

If we can't beat Mtl with their 4th string QB playing, then that says volumes about us.

It should be a decisive victory.

Hard to demote Schmeck after the game he had and I don't think they'd ever sit Jake. They've played the last few games with 3 DE's and 3 DT's which is too low, ideally they'd dress 4 of each.

I'd dress Lawson and Schmekel over Jake Thomas.

No need to demote Schmekel regardless of how the DT's rotate from a depth point of view. We don't have another Canadian DB to replace Hallett which means Cobb, Kornelson or the global choice are the other options.

Come to think about it, losing Hallett makes taking J. Jones out leaving ST's losing 2 players. That has an impact on the thought of adding Logan or Vanterpool.

That's another variable that I wasn't aware of this morning. That could force D. Lawson off the AR if Houston is added. Otherwise we lose Vaval as our returner.

OTOH I wouldn't bet that J. Jones doesn't get bumped anyway. I'm just not sure who'd replace him on ST's. We lost Novak earlier, now Hallett.

Sure but we're already losing Hallett, so no need to lose Thomas as well. Ironically Thomas may have had his best game of 2025.
