Ok, I only post about 5 times a year, but been a little busy since going to the Vanier Cup so now I'll put my 2 cents worth on paper and see what the masses think. As much as I am still mad about the 08 record but it was not as bad as the record would seem. They are getting better and are not that far from being a playoff team, (it can't be that hard there are only 8 teams) So here are my 5 ideas of what needs to be done to make the playoffs in 09.
1--DO NOt re-sign Jesse if it is going to cost too much.
2--Draft Canadian OL and DL in this draft, don't worry about skill players you can bring in train loads from the states if needed
3--If CP does good, ride him as long as the train stays on the tracks, but if it goes off the tracks go to plan B quick, it worked in riderville last year, true they did not do as good as they would have liked but I would trade places with them last year in 1.5 seconds
4--Remember this name Clayton Mullins from Miami of Ohio, (same school as Mr Armour) sign him if possible--would be a perfect DE or linebacker in the CFL, my only worry is he may be good enough for a NFL practice roster spot, but boy I'd try to get him.
5--Cut down on the STUPID PENDILITIES at the wrong time, sure you are always going to have some mis-cues but we CAN'T have them at the CRITICAL times we did last year--we do that and we probably get 2 more wins right there.
Ok, I feel better already, it's -5 this afternoon but all I can think of is late June/early July, nice evening, cold beer and I am in my seat in section 22 watching a Ti-cat VICTORY, I know this has GOTT BE OUR YEAR, so watta ya say, lets make the playoffs a reality this time--- Best wishes, take care, and stay warm we got another 60 days of this stuff, ( maybe for you guys another 80 days before it breaks).
