Pre-Season 1: Toronto at Hamilton

short supply of breath mints and deodorant

The biggest positive was seeing Kelly get his first live action in a year and a half and looking quite comfortable doing so despite the egregious late hit by Hamiltons latest goon, “Mr Good Business”.

The hit by McManis looked worse live than it did on replay, IMO. I wouldn't consider it egregious, just a marginally late but not overly violent hit.

A lifetime suspension is warranted!
Nobody hits the Chad, nobody!!!

I was at the game (in a manner of speaking)

It was cold, miserable and wet.

Don't ask for any observations.

Will in a pouty mood lately?

Yeah not even a food review? What gives?

He saw McManus coming and ducked at the right time, which I think is good news about his game readiness after such a long layoff.

It was cold, it was miserable, there was a driving rainstorm and my socks were wet.

They have good popcorn at that stadium, though, buttery and salty, just the way you want it.

Solid popcorn review.

While I was watching, I couldn't help but think who knows what that rain in Hamilton is contaminated with. Kudos to you for sticking the game out.

The team culture looks great. There was a lot of energy and positivity for a preseason game.

I noticed this too. It’s a great sign. Funny how getting rid of a toxic HC can boost a team’s morale.

One thing that stood out for me is that 240lb RB Qualon Jones is not an outside runner. Appears to be a lot of depth in the Receiving core. The "questionable" draft picks in the Secondary keep making plays. Still not sure about the OT positions, although I wonder how much playing time Donovan had with BC on Saturday. Oh, and Kelly looked like he is set to go.

Can’t disagree with anything here, but the weather was abysmal making player evaluation quite difficult.
