Mos had a similar record into 2019. now some people think he’s infallible.

He did one or two Games last year, I caught the end of one before a bomber game. It was excellent.

I’m captain of the plop the oc sucks. But even as a leader he is better. I actually thought he would be solid as a hc if he could keep his hands off the offence in game.

You’re right. Plop was limited as an oc, but is excellent on tv. I’d love to see him talk cfl offence each week in a show with blm.

I’m hoping for the best rn. But in case it doesn’t work out dibs on Sam.

Did we sign him?

Easily one of the most talented vocalists of that era. Especially in the pop range. That Christmas tune though gaaaaaag

That’s a great book, the other belichecks book on scouting is really good for that too. At the least pre game half time and post game of the feature game of the week should have it.

Last year before a Friday night back to back Matty and lapo did a good break down of some game film based on what the offense would look to do and what the D would do to try and counter it. Was a great bit but really rarely happens. The pre game is usually rushed and mindless babble from the panel. Marty is exciting/excited in the booth. Which I prefer to some of the guys we see. But he doesn’t have much interesting to say in those cases. Even on the panel his best is the start where he’s prepped what he will say. Quick Matt isn’t the best Matt.

My question is, for the relatively menial amount she sued for why didn’t they pay it right away and avoid much of this? And now that it’s setttled will we see punishment for the front office? I’m happy for her receiving what ever she got. I hope she manages to find more sports work in the future if she chooses.

IMO, lofton is a natural guard with the tools to play tackle, also imp guards are a rarity in the cfl. He’s green at it. Tc also makes guys soft with low contact imo. It’s not the competitive literal fight it used to be. (The change isn’t bad, but I think tc and pre season need adjustments to get the same job done with less risk.) Soo much of football is like a chess match. Except you’re playing your own, plus a positional group game and a unit game for your side of the ball. All that while size and athleticism are the highest priority. Some guys succeed based on their competitive intelligence. Some guys get covered for. Much of being a co ordinator in game is micro managing those small chess games and master minding the larger game. It’s one of the most interesting areas of football and sports for me. True and that’d be awesome. No doubt you could dig up some other ex players to join in and maybe have an ex coach call in.

agree with all that. When we’ve got glimpses of programming like that say from tsn a couple times in pre game shows it’s been fantastic and well received imo. Blitz recognition is like a counting cards movie. It starts with a visual count, ideally not subvocalizing or having to go by ones or twos. You see how many are deep how many are on the line and have to know what that leaves. While also knowing the same splits for the boundary and field sides. Almost subconscious, or autonomic levels of math. Then when the ball hits your hands you redo the whole thing with again, while nearly autonomously differentiating the pre snap read from the post snap read. You seldom have symmetrical distribution of blockers(or down field targets) so you again have the split left or right. You’ll have some pre snap cues on top of that. Like if the D shows an over load on the blind side you’ll have to make that among your first pattern checks to see if you have even less time. Seeing high level guys break it down even when watching film where the skill development starts, is like magic. Or genius. Watching qbs break down film really pushes home how demanding the position is on you mentally. often times the difference between genius cerebral field general and guys considered too dim for the position is just the speed of their recognition and decision making skills. That doesn’t even factor in coverage reads, individual players you have to account for, man/zone/match, specific alignments and the fact that play action has its own separate timing for reads. You might freeze a guy who is dropping or spying or even supposed rush. The old saying is throw where the pressure came from, but with modern D especially up here it’s very likely that the opening could be a hook curl flat zone instead of where the pressure came from. So your blitz read and hot option can change depending on your coverage read. The D might be playing a cover 3 split zone with a cover 2 on the other side. Or they might be playing straight cover 3. Or they might be zone blitzing from the middle while dropping into a robber to try and lure you into a turn over. They might even delay dropping from a blitz taking one or two steps into the rush before reading the qb and dropping. Thats why the convention when facing young green qbs is to send mixed pressure packages. Make the active read as difficult as possible vs letting them sit back and make plays.

Jake Paul fights Randy Ambrosie? Every cfl fan would watch for sure lol.

Sounds like some thing a closet fan would say… lmao id be very open to none music based events. I love the super dogs and even the cross fit games they did once was pretty cool.

Huh didn't know that.

100% this. Emphasis on having to commit to the run. Stanback isn't a guy who is happy or productive with 10-15 touches a game. Thats the big question. Aging banged up rb, not what I want to bet on. No, he's out right bad in pass pro. And his hands are sketchy too.

Youre right, and drake would be similar. Don't be stoopid, you know we don't love her up here... LOL Would celine dion still be a big deal? Iirc she has a massive residency in vegas. I think a final performance by Sum 41 would really over lap the market and demographic well. Not canadian, But Ice cube did really well up here. He'd be a big get imo. Especially if you could get any off shoots of nwa/aftermath/shadey records to come with him.

And by no means does every thing have to cater to the hard core fan. Even the unwashed masses on the FB groups deserve content aimed at them. I think the clarity most of us want with injuries/roster is pretty basic. But we aren't going to see it with Mos. I wonder how the coaches show is when the team isn't as good in the future. I'm glad the team and cjob are making that money and getting that support now. I hope they milk it as long as they can. 94 and 11 iirc

Trevor harris, BLM, and Masoli walk into a bar, who hits the IR first?

Especially the guys who mess up spectacularly, or who are only in camp to round out numbers etc. Qbs get some leeway for obvious reasons. Other positions, if you can't handle the ball as a KR you gotta go.

I know it is a long standing un written rule at most every level of football that media doesn't talk to an ast unless its cleared by the HC, and virtually always just a media scrum thing.

I agree with all that. He'd be the first guy I'd scoop up. I wish we'd grab him. Maybe he doesn't want to sit on a PR though. Some one should snap him up. Certainly a decent lure for our own vet guys. I think a lot of free agent vet types over estimate their individual impact and think any team they go to will become a play off team and make a long drive. Except for henoc. I legit think he was happy enough to be done the year early.

I think The tragically hip was as perfect as it will ever be. For today, I think the weekend would be as good as it gets. Would you take sayles over Mcfadden, wall, or carnell? I'd take the first 2 for sure, carnell Idk if he is 100% or will be again. If he's close I take him too. I loved sayles when he was here, but he has an awful lot of miles on him for his age. It's probably an upgrade for them, but If I'm them us or any one else I go with the younger guys.

Vaj went into a very established offence, this will be the first big turn over he sees. He's also 31 years old. Does he really have another gear in his career that he can reach? Guys also been hit a LOT in his career up here, and had some really ugly games just last year.

I think it'd be fantastic, could have mos talk more about things going on league wide, and stuff like proposed rule changes etc. I think he'd be a lot more interesting and affable in that range of topics. The big thing for him is will they stick to running it, can they run against starting Ds, and how quick/hard is he hitting the hole. Also, can he stay healthy. I wouldn't want to be betting on him, but really it isn't a big risk for them.
