Not giving up the ball is the most basic rule of any position that touches the ball. Not doing the worst thing possible isnt grounds for an upgrade imo. QB A+ RB A- (we dont need harris to be A++ like previously, its been alot harder running this year) WRs B+ (been an A the last few weeks) OL A- DL B+ (Jeffcoat has been dominant the rest have been up and down) Lbers B- (bigg has been a major A+ but the wil play has been D) DBs A+ (Rookies? I dont see rookies. I see beasts.) Kicking F KR F Punting C- Kick cover C Mos, Walters and Wade A+ Hall A Buck B+(with some A trends in the last couple weeks)

Run stopping, and like JB said, thats what you get when you put your men on the line. Its gambling to force a 2nd and long. Briggs and Gauthier are not guys who can fight off blocks and be a 1.5 gap player. They struggle to maintain 1 gap. Wilson and rocquemore are more capable of shutting down 1 gap and being able to scrape to the ball. QFT. With out stove we dont have a guy who can play the nose effectively. Stove can consistently close down 2 gaps by him self. Which leaves us able to run less guys on the front to close gaps, so we have a MLBer free to scrape to the ball / spy. Stove also lets us run a tite front on the DL, canceling the gaps with even less bodies. Both walker and sayles are really talented and athletic. But they are more of the modern NFL 4i/3 technique. Jake can play some 2 and 2 gap but hes not a nose either. For a really long time we've been able to change and find new DTs that can collapse the pocket. Guys like poop, nevis, stove, and brandin bryant. What we do on our DL has been based around having that guy up the middle and we are missing it right now. But with stove having a couple limited practices before the elk game Im sure he will be back soon enough. That spark plug up the middle doesnt just open up plays for our DEs, It opens up things for our smaller DTs. I cant wait to see what jeffcoat can do with stove back in the middle.

I think itd be hard to agree on value. a first round pick thats gonna be in the bottom of the round isnt gonna be that big for ott. But it is a lot to give up. Dedmon and aucliar would be nice pick ups to go along with ward. They could claim any one from our PR or try already. We'd probably need to include some other picks or value.

How dumb. We've played 1 more game and given up 98 points and bc has given up 106. PLUS they played ottawa TWICE. The writer quoted our points against how pathetic.

Yeah legs isnt going any where. I like the way he bounced back after the illegal punt. Its probably not fair to say, but legs seems much more mentally tough than ali. Id be worried about how mourtada dealt with the misses. Medlock working with legs wouldve been great, for kicking and punting. Im still holding out a tiny bit of hope that at some point this year Medlock comes riding in to save the day.

A lot of teams are rotating that look in against heavy run teams this year. We are seeing an 8 and even 9 man box freuqently. With DHBs right at the back end of the box. Its because the heavy run teams are running inside zone / tight zone schemes. We saw the toss faked last week and used this week in an attempt to get to the outside. Some outside zone plays would really defeat that. But the last couple weeks we've seen repeat flashes of buck strategizing to take advantage of the packed box, with pretty good success. Not only do we frequently run a stacked line, we are doing it with bighill at a wil spot covering wrs. Id say over all we did pretty good vs edm and sir flexalot. The biggest issue in the run game (aside from missing our up the middle spark plug in stove) is arm tackles. Wilder runs through arm tackles. He doesnt run guys over. You gotta wrap him up. They did get a couple decent hits in on him too that left him complaining as well.

I call BS on that. Considering he was here for a season and a half. They kept him after we picked up medlock and he made the team. If he was a FO guy, he wouldnt have been here on the PR for most of 15, then finished the year as our kicker, then come back in the offseason, made the team, and sat on the pr for half the year. He was released so he could catch on with another team and have a chance to play. Which happened the same week.

He's not on any roster. I wonder if he's an anti vaccine guy or if he's just fallen between the cracks. Seems unlikely as many teams have struggled with kicking and he's a beast. And he can punt too. But crazier things have happened. Better players have fallen between the cracks. He could also want top dollar. In that case I'd go over the cap and lose a first to get some one top tier in if that's what it requires.

He's not the best pure rb in the league. He's not half as good as stanback or Harris. He can't block and runs upright as hell he can break arm tackles but can't move the pile. He's good at getting yards in bursts. He isn't a threat to score from any where though. And he can't churn 5 yards per touch with out big gains. That value is extremely low. Because you get a lot of 2nd and longs and go 2 and out a lot. He doesn't help his team win. He's the most over rated guy in the league. One of the lowest value rbs. You can't even kill the clock with him at the end of the game. Harris stanback Whyte Carey and foster are the top in the league in no order. Hes a guy who should go to the xfl or one of the possible spring leagues. He'd be more valuable in the 4 down game. In the 3 down game a back who gets caught for nothing soo frequently is some one you can't win with.

Bailey had a bunch of bad drops early and some bad penalties. We didn't bring in namaan for no reason. A bunch of wrs had tough goes of it in the back end of that stretch. But since then he's been lights out. And he's a max effort guy blocking. Not the most capable but damned if he doesn't do his best. Kicking and kr is the hole for sure. If we got the Kicking game on lock down the return issue wouldn't be too much. And I'm assuming Grant will be healthy at some point this year. So that should just be a matter of time. Nelson is the best of all the mos guys people have wanted replaced. Even Kicking despite the struggle is a developmental spot. Both legs and Ali have tremendous raw talent. It could be a long road but I'm sure one of them will develop into a keeper. If we improve the Kicking and get healthy I don't think the roster has any holes.

With the bye next week we are at the half way point of the season. Zach is finally getting his MOP favorite status around the league. So time for half way awards and predictions for the end of the year. MOP collaros ofc. He keeps getting better and better each week and he are due for the dominant blow out where he pads the stats. Modp. Lots of guys could take this one. But I'm giving the nod to Jackson Jeffcoat. He's been our most consistent dl by a lot. Tied for league lead in sacks and on track to shatter the forced fumble record. Honorable mention to biggie. Some times his usage doesn't put Him in a good position. But he's been a monster this year. Moc. Demski all the way. He's the best ni wr in the league this year and brings soo much to the team aside from rushing and catching. Honorable mentions to Harris. He's had less games and a harder go of it this year but still a stud. Mool. For my money it's hardricks year. His pass pro is better than ever. Bryant is still an all star but he hasn't been dominant like In his streak winning the award. Mostp. Mike Miller by a giant margin. Mor. From what I can tell alford is our qualifier and he's been tremendous. The best true rookie I've seen at db in a long time. Coach of the year. Plop lmao. Mike oshea slam dunk. Jg veteran award. For strength, perseverance, courage, comradeship, and contribution to Canadian communities. Brady should get a look. Coming back from Injury his charity work and stepping in for Harris for a few weeks. Hugh Campbell leadership award to wade Miller

He signed with Dallas sadly. Idk how he isn't in the league now. Maybe he's anti vaxx if not we gotta get his ass on a plane. Either way with the bye week a kicker and a kr should be on air lift.

A good but one dimensional offense. And a mediocre defense. It'll be interesting to see how they do this coming week vs the crieders. Go lions go.

I wish our d would all flex at him when they stopped him each time. Wilder sure did not enjoy the physicality we brought to the game.

Yeah I'd cut crapy loose. Mourtada sucked at fgs but made the xpts and had good kick offs. Legs punting has worn thin for Me. If we can't get a capable kicker in during the bye then I might have mourtada kick off xpts and head on fgs and have legs take hash kicks maybe. I'd see how mourtada can punt too. But damn I wish we'd get a real pro quality kicker.

The IR. Grant is now eligible to come off the IR. Should get stove back, we miss his push up the middle a lot. Kyrie would be big too. Hansen had 3 pressures 2 on one drive back to back. Loved adams getting called for PI coming back and getting the td back too.

Trips over coffee table, stubbing toe, cries, limps 5 yards, flex.

he did have a pretty good game. One great blocking series on demskis big yac, but whiffed on a chip during a harris run. Didnt drop any and made some nice moves to pick up yards.

Yeah. Take out the 2 turn overs and they have 14 less points and we probably have 10 more.

the kicking has been soo brutal. I dont expect automatic from 55. But you gotta hit at a high rate from inside the 40. legs punting was really poor out side of 1 bomber too.

shouldve been another blow out and shut out. But we won handily and mos will have plenty to keep this team hungry about.

my tsn stream completely got FKd

1 Andrew harris. Tough running tonight but combined 135 ish yards. 2 Alford with a pick 6 and a forced fumble. and a 2nd pick to seal the game. 3 A few guys could slot in here but Im giving the nod to jeffcoat. 3 tackles 1 tackle for a loss 1 sack 1 forced fumble. HH The Strip sack by willy big hill grabs it sayles and jeffcoat grab biggie and push him into the end zone.

step on the throat now
