From Adam:

In the intro to your diet you mention that you use the diet for at least 2 months in the off-season. Do you change up your diet during the season and if so what are the differences?

Hey Adam,

The diet does change somewhat in-season as my calorie requirements change because I'm burning so much with practice and games. I eat pretty much the same things, but I'll take in more carbohydrates throughout each day.

what is your favorite part about commonwealth stadium? how does it rank compared to other fields around the league? and what is your favorite road stadium to
play in?

Greg,
Commonwealth was my favorite well before I ever got to the Eskimos. I've always love the grass feel, and I believe that's the surface upon which the
game was meant to be played. In addition to Commonwealth, I think that McMahon is a good venue to watch or play a game, and I also enjoy McGill's
in Montreal.

From Greg Connel:

what made jason tucker such a great reciever? what have you learned from him that has improved your game?

Jason had an innate ability to stay calm and focused while the game is at a fever pitch. His knack for playing big at big times, I hope I can translate to my game. Aside from that, there are route subtleties that I've implemented into my game much like I did after learning from Milt Stegall, Santana Moss, Donald Driver, and Travis Moore.

From Sasha:

Kamau From a fan's perspective it looks like night and day when comparing games 2 and 3 with games 4 and 5. For the players how much has actually changed? Is it an attitude shift, or has it been a technical shift?

Sasha,

While there are some subtle technical changes that have come about, like the simplification of our offensive package and some moving of personnel switches defensively - I think that the main changes have simply been in comfortability. When you have as many new faces from both around the league, as well as rookies playing there will be a growth period in which you have to develop faith in the man beside you. It's important to know that the man beside you knows what he's doing every play, and will give all that he has in each play, and will do everything in his power to ensure the success of that play.

That can only be developed through time, and experience and while we're short on time...I think we learned something about ourselves during the span of that Saskatchewan trip, and I'm hoping that we continue play together.
