that’s a hogan quote isn’t it lol

that draw works, if you get the middle open. kola go out of the way and neuf got right in the way

this mainline option is not gonna be the bread and butter we need

hard to feel optimistic with what the O and D have done so far, but it could be one of those ugly games we have a shot in late

wow vaval to the rescue

this is fine.gif

soft. gotta not rush it and that should be caught. not the start you want

i agree our wrs haven’t done a great job of helping the qbs. but a big chunk of the picks have been terrible forced decisions.

today’s must win scale, 8/10. We are one game up on edmonton and toronto for the last play off spot and 2 games up on ott. Toronto lost, and edm has its hands full with edm. need to gain ground on the out side gang and bury ottawa

I would, but we’d never sadly. That at rb are the only positions we are capable of pushing a ni up the ar if needed with out causing serious issues. we are paper thin behind starters rn. If kramdi, a wr, ol, or dl goes down in game we are in serious trouble.

we have pieces to solve some problems. we do not have the answer at qb, ol, 40 des, or canadian depth. and it isn’t going to come in short order. It’s not pessimism, it’s the reality. top end canadian talent, ol, and qbing are the hardest things to find and slowest to build. We aren’t likely to fix that stuff in free agency this year either. we need a massive developmental surge, but young guys are hard stuck behind old under performers.

Keys to the game, Strev evolves into a real qb1. It might not be his last chance but it is close to it. If he's ever going to take the next step it's gotta be soon. Might not be another start for him in this league if he doesn't step up. Hogan get out of his own and our own way. Gotta run, and use some of those WRs well. The secondary has to dominate for the D to excel. It sure won't be the front. We need the secondary from this time last year to show up.

that’s a good one. i’d like to see win rate of the first team to break 30 points. or how much does your win rate drop once you give up 5 hits / 10 pressures. Also win rate when your qb has a yards per pass average of less than 8 yards, and 9 or more.

ah yes the bum rush! if it isn’t, it’s pretty damn close.

i think he has a good shot at rt. especially since holding and illegal block calls are soo rare these days. i think teams could give guys like that more shots at rt. especially if they are mobile and on the nasty side. That said, I’d definitely test him early and often with speed off the edge and mix in some chop spin, ghost rush, bull slip, off balancing moves.

Bend but don't break... tries not to puke lol. A lot of his front alignment and assignments as well as run fits too.

Nope. Our game day roster announcement should be sponsored by Dr. Shepps Hair Replacement clinic. Dude could make a killing.

some guys get how to coach and call blitzes and pressure. and when to use specific rushes. he was the finest i’ve ever seen at that. he could take any one fast and make use of them. He wasn’t big on delegation or making him self expendable though. thorpe is a good one. stubler was such a mad scientist at dc.

thanks. wasnt he reported as practicing last week twice though?

How is makonzo not on the list? hes been practicing for like 2 plus weeks but is still on the 6

man, his cover 0 dominated. Play a few dbs back at the first down marker and send every one else. teams tried to out heavy set them, until eventually they best it with the spread and quick hitch stuff. Rust was really under rated from his earlier als stints in the cfl. I liked the way he ran camp and practice here. One of the best coaches of fundamentals i’ve seen. He could talk about tackling for hours. His exit from exit here was odd and unfortunate.

i’m not surprised. I could still see him dressing zach

Tim burke. Haha, seriously he was a really good dcor. Just very limited in that role. Chris jones, yes a toxic waste dump of a leader, but tremendous dcor too. Halls style is oft maligned, and has a half life but is Ds around the league have evolved to adopt his style. I really like Bob slowik in calgary, he’s learned and taken a lot from jy and hall here. Noel thorpe is a better version of lapo for D. Brett monsoon is very good but hasn’t adapted well to roster change. Im very fond of Baron miles and JY as guys on the upswing. If you wanna go back in time, ritchie and don mathew’s are two of the best from their era. But it’s extremely hard to compare D from the early 2ks and prior to today. The league is generally run by offence and OC minds. The Ds here are at a big disadvantage.

sounds like an interesting are of specialty. I love the intersections of engineering and the trades. I’ve worked on 4 different sides of it over the past 25 years and love it. Oh yeah, i’ve been on more than a few projects like that. actually most projects seem to have atleast one nutter lol. First rule of mbb, don’t ask people their age lol

Really depends on where you get and find the engineers. If they go out of school to work for the company they intern for and never move up, become stagnant in the profession and company, you bet. I've seen lots of those guys. I knew one in particular who was the proficient procrastinator I've ever met. he was a master of delaying work until it would disappear. If you get them out of the drone mills and into a field where they work hands-on, especially in an area of interest, you see wonders. School, work, and society have a way of drawing any passion out of work and intellectual pursuits. It's just about breaking that cycle. Math is rigid at low, basic levels. At higher levels, it's a very pliable problem-solving tool. If high level maths were completely rigid, they'd be easy, and they are not lol.
