DR. CFL Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Nelson's system might have been better but if you look at teams with high sack totals it is often a result of the combination of players that form the front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was a failed attempt at bashing Walters for signing Keeping....who I'm not sure ever actually played a down for us. Either way our Centre held his own very well.

It's flowover from the Vince Young thing. Cause Walters (and all GMs) would have knowledge of who is on other team's neg lists. How that gives him special magical powers to see a secret workout in Florida, I don't follow. Alleged workout. My guess was when Taman still had a job, 40% of Penton's insider column came from him.

How 'bout those he acquired on trade, how many did retired? I responded to a post about Walters, why are you changing the subject? I also never said Walters didn't do a good job either. I said don't get carried away. Shologan was a miss and had a poor year. Smith did nothing either, Dressler didn't light the world on fire in between injuries but had a ok year. Cummings was a flop. Nichols was a good move, Harris was a good move. I think Walters has done a decent job overall. As far as the Riders go, I'm not here to defend some of the moves we have made, in fact I have made better choices drunk on who to take home from the bar, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. " Keeping was to be Winnipeg’s sixth offensive lineman this season, an area the Bombers remain thin.

He was sort of the "just in case Goosen isn't ready for it" guy at centre. Plus they loved his locker room presence and felt he was a good option as the backup OL for that reason.

Yeah I don't get how a rider fan can try saying anything about other teams FA signings. Especially the bombers...who had help from all of them to not only beat the riders twice but also make the playoffs. They weren't all home run hitters but all played an important part in the win streak last year. And now the team feels like they can improve again on some of them. It's not like they were cut during the season or traded or retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFL said: Nelson's system might have been better but if you look at teams with high sack totals it is often a result of the combination of players that form the front 7. yes and no. a system can severely limit ability to rush or inflate it. Setting up twists, and slides to create direct angles to the qb for a guy who cant get off the block well on his own. Or constantly calling pinch/ end contain / gap cancellation. Good consistent pressure is nearly allways a combination of the right players in a system that works for them. Un like say a QB who can play in an un friendly system and wing stuff, audible and generally just not follow the system in place.
