  1. I think stove and kyrie will have the flex seal taken care of.
  2. haha not exactly. A 1 gap player lines up in a gap between two blockers and rushes the gap. More modern defenses try to use 1.5 gap defenders, where they rush 1 gap and have to watch the other then shed the block and make a tackle in another gap. Its hard to find good 1.5 gap defenders and they are worth their weight in gold in the NFL, especially if they can get after the qb a bit. Finally you have the 2 gap defensive tackle. The 2 gap player lines up in 0 technique, at nose tackle directly over the center. His responsibility is to flow to either guard-center A gap and stuff the run. Some times this is done by discipline, anchor your position then disengaging from the C and scraping to the ball carrier in the gap. Other times this is done by mashing the center back and removing the A gaps entirely. The later happens when an OL is playing a tight blocking scheme, especially in man blocking. Or tossed suhk, then ripped the center down and filled the gap between michael reillys ears with his heft.
  3. Idk, I think cornys ability to run, size and strength are going to help him. Harris rattles and becomes toxic too. But coming in mid game for harris is probably the best case scenario for the elk. This is the trap of all trap games, but we've seemed too focused to give into that type of thing so here is hoping it plays out.
  4. Its between biggie and jeffcoat, though alexander deserves some consideration too. BA opens up a lot of different looks for biggie. I dont think jeffcoat will get the votes he deserves though, the ends are gonna split each others chances imop.
  5. They should have that and call it the stegall award. I think collaros is the dominant favorite. I think defensive players get a but of a snub, but we dont have a most outstanding offensive player so I get it. Having an offensive player of the year and an MVP would be better.
  6. Yeah. He certainly doesnt have the supreme physicality of strevy. But the playbook with streveler here in 19 was pretty dreadful too. They could keep 2 or 3 of his passing plays with that timing route. I dont think we had 1 good passing play that strevy was comfortable or happy with. But he wasnt physically limited throwing either. Lynch couldnt be any worse passing down field than CF. He just couldnt be. Its like lefevour when he was in a bad streak, but every single pass.
  7. I dont do fantasy sports. But I would suggest taking dedmon on teams if possible. Too bad punters dont get fantasy points. Leone would crush it.
  8. Up next its gonna be KSB hyped as the MOP candidate... All games really are trap games at this point. But Ive never been less worried about trap games than with this bombers team. These guys 100% buy into the go 1-0 this week mantra. They stay hungry, and angry. No matter the situation or score they are playing physical, aggressive football. its 90s night too!
  9. Idk if its back bone or smarts. Or even some thing else. But what ever it is, I think they, really dickenson, lack it enough to not do what they should. 100% they should get lynch in some. I think if they did, he would be starting for them pretty quickly. I dont think harker is great, but in comparison passer to passer, I think hes much less limited than CF is. Harker is tiny, but people said the same thing of charles roberts. Im sure he isnt blink, but isnt cantthrowdo either. Of course they wont pull CF. So itd have to be lynch in for harker. But I think no matter what they do, they have to start getting throwing reps in with some one else. Cody would be pretty good as a back up and change of pace guy who can run streveler stuff. As crazy as it sounds, Id take ottawas trio of rookie qbs duck, christion, and evans over the riders 3 qbs. I think we are going to quickly enter the point of critical value loss for CF. Where he will be a good back up, but would have to take a real cut in cash. He's gonna be 30 before the next season starts. And despite the added time off not only has he failed to improve from 19, he's gotten worse.
  10. If the lions are eligible then yes he will. But I dont see any chance of the lions finishing in the bottom 2 of the league.
  11. If not harris it shouldve been willy. Ive never seen or heard of a team averaging 10-100 ish in penalties. Thats a huge hole to try and dig out of. Id love to see the average season wins with each penalty per game from 4 or 5 - 10. Wont lie, I liked the offense danny barrett ran. he was way way ahead of the times. Seems like a backhanded compliment at best imo.
  12. He did, but it was also an era of extremely heavy man cover, with far fewer targets and DBs on the field. A SAM back then was still a true LBer. And rangy Safteys that could cover side line to side line were exceedingly rare in the NFL. Its funny but between the two Id take nichols in a play off game. And glenn during the season. Glenn knew how to burry teams. Nichols didnt win a play off game, but he always played his best football in the play offs and in the clutch. Glenn had a tendency to throw un timely picks. The worst thing Nichols did in the play offs was criminally under throw some deep balls to wide open guys. 08 had 3 1k wrs, romby, armstrong, and TE plus milt and a pretty good arjei franklin. that was the year fred reid came over too.
  13. Junior has been shredding the BCFC like hes auditioning for the zach collaros crew in 2022. jason maas as blake is gonna tear him a new pooper. "Who am I?" (completes a pass more than 15 yards down field) "Thats who the F$%^ I AM."
  14. I think you guys might have a QB controversy before the end of the season. The back up didnt look bad vs us, and lynch on the PR can probably do similar to CFs passing game too.
  15. was Talking about ability to execute possession passing offense. But yes no question the best since khari. And he's better than khari right now. Khari used to throw a ton of picks. And Nichols. And 90 percent of our qbs from 91 to current.
  16. I've always had poor experiences traveling through and visiting sask. I'll have to avoid it and look out cars with sask plates. Might try and dump a load of manure on my lawn too. They would probably say the cfl illuminati are giving us breaks and extra flags. Cognitive dissonance is a b.
  17. https://3downnation.com/2021/10/03/elks-qb-trevor-harris-slated-to-return-against-winnipeg/ Boy that sounds like an awful idea lol. All of them it seems. Imagine one is about go go to the ir or get cut.
  18. Interesting. Even more so that he ended up here and not there. For sure. Seems like he might be a fit for the modern wave of Sam in the cfl. But looks like he could be a candidate at any position. Love the pick up.
  19. Bombers add 2 to roster. https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/10/03/blue-bombers-transactions-october-3-2021/ NI lber robbie lowes, who was our 4th round pick this year. IMP db donovan olumba. 6'2 205. Olumba spent 2 years on the cowboys PR. Then went to the browns, then was with the rams. The rams were high on him in 2020 and he took first team reps for a while. Had a crazy pick 6 in an nfl pre season game. In college in 30 games over 3 years with the small school of Alderson-Broaddus University he had 25 pass knock downs, 6 picks, 2 pick 6s, blocked 2 kicks, and returned a punt for a td. He transferred to portland state for his senior year starting 15 games, knocking down 7 passes and adding 2 TFL. Athletically he's tall, long, with great jumping ability and rangy type speed. Hes got good hands for a db too. https://ramblinfan.com/2021/08/06/la-rams-waste-no-time-signing-db-donovan-olumba/
  20. Well he did hire elizondo so it does make sense. If im edmonton I would try and get ted goveia to be gm/pres and dinwiddie to HC if toronto cans him. I hope toronto doesnt though. I really like what he has going for the argos.
  21. I decided to take it a step further, Powell has only ran for more yards then the riders lost in penalties once. That was best game by a mile. The first week CJ and powell combined rushing yards was less than the riders penalty yards. 2nd week also less combined rushing yards than penalty yards. 3rd week less rushing yards again. 4th week, less rushing yards. 5th week less rushing yards. 6th week more yards rushing than penalty yards! 7th less. 8th week more yards rushing than penalty yards! For us we had more week 1, less in week 2 and 3 with barely any brady carries vs TO. Harris had more in every game. On average if we hit more than 10 carries we will our run our penalty yards. If the riders run 20 times, they still arent breaking even.
  22. Probably right. I quit allowing me self to be sticked with crap like cortisone along time ago, and all the none over the counter stuff. The long term effects of chronic use of all that stuff is scary. I love football as much as any thing short of blood. But I hate the culture of take a shot, then take some pills, now you can play hurt.
  23. Yep he cant manage professional players. I posted in the game thread this week asking who the worst coach in the league is right now between elizondo, dickenson, and plop. And honestly its a hard call. I suspect elizondo will be fired first. Plop is a bad OC imo, but I think he's actually solid at coaching players and making in game decisions. His roster choices have been awful, with qbs and flanders etc. But right now Id probably fire him last of those 3. Elizondo is a butt. I dont like him or the way he manages his players. I see a lot of the riders issues with him. But in the end I think elizondo might be a bit better than dickenson. 100% on both points. Jones teams though are a bit different. They did play on the edge, and had attitude to a real negative degree. He cultivated a me first culture. But dickenson is like a cesspool that happens in the absence of any culture. Theyve been a cesspool of one sort or another for a long time. The biggest dumpster fires in the last 20 years have all been in regina. Honestly a lot of poop (like mccallum) from the early part of the previous decade has kind of been forgotten.
  24. I cant find any over all penalty stats, so I broke it down from the game day stat sheets. Bombers 8 games 5-45, 6-65, 8-80, 8-70, 9-79, 6-82 , 6-56, 3-35. Total of 43-512. With 5-64 average per game. Riders 8 games 7-73, 20-187, 9-95, 10-102,12-143, 7-80, 9-100, 8-67. Total of 82-847. For an average of 10.25-105.88. No grand conspiracy here. No magic, no BS. The bombers are far more disciplined. I have no doubt that the riders have the 2 worst games for discipline in the league this year. 1 against us and 1 against hamilton.
