OL Thaddeus Coleman
DE Chase Ortiz

Reid and Smith should be a little concerned, I would think. The two young guys are good. Bernard ran over Simpson sooo many times in practice...Giles is super fast...I'm glad I don't have to decide which of the four to keep...
....TSN. ..has exercised its rights as 'THE' broadcaster of the CFL.....and will not allow on-line streaming of the game by the free press....They don't want to televise pre-season tilts....and at the same time do not want anyone else beating their time....so nobody can video it....TSN . would rather have 'tiddly-wink' tennis matches on instead???? :lol: :lol: Oh well the reg. season and professionally televised games are just around the cornor...
.....Ramonce Taylor ?????? missing in action....I never liked this cut....and now we are scambling to find a punt-return guy....????those are the things that bite you in the bum....I'm sure Kelly had a good reason to dump him....but ...houston ...we have a void....get on the speed dial....Serna is becoming the field goal kicker that we thought he could be...How do you like Giles MadJack :lol: :lol:
Over all, I think we have to be pretty happy with this half. According to a certain Montreal fan we should have been down by 40 by now......
Besides that INT thrown by LeFors (which brought back memories of Glenn and Jones), we have been very competitive.
So far Banks hasn't done much, lets see what their other guy can do. With AC getting up there, Mont needs to find someone who can play.
A couple Positives from the starters on starters though, Offensive line sounded great against a strong front four in both pass protection and the run game.
Lefors was apparently in control the whole half, could really improve once he gets the timing down and he and his recievers get on the same page regarding the plays....
Run Game looks like it will be solid, and the starting defense should be real strong this season IMO.
Run Game and Defense should be able to keep us in games untill the passing game sorts itself out.
I disagree. Sure he did good for a quater, but I wouldn't say he lit us up. Will he have another great year this year? I don't think so. I have a feeling he goes back to the production of 2 years ago. Also with age, he will be more succeptable to injury. This is the CFL, the need for a quality back up is huge - All I am asking is if Montreal has it?
