  1. Thats interesting indeed. If they go back to dropping bighill instead of making him eat up a guard we could see improvement in pass D.
  2. Alexander at S is really interesting. On one hand I really id rather have him at another DB spot, but his speed at S is really tantalizing. I would think about moving fenner off cb, hes been beaten especially deep a lot. But im not sure he'd be any better at S. No perfect solution in this situation. Itll be great to have BA back in the line up though. Atleast they are shaking it up and making some changes though.
  3. Those guys have only performed when given the chance. Same as wolitarsky and others.
  4. That corn and apples are worth partying over?
  5. If a home play off game gets much closer to slipping away I wouldnt be surprised if they pick up a vet.
  6. Thats the nature of timing routes and rub routes. Wrs are always open, especially if you can throw them open like evans can. Most teams arent running that look, though I can see it catching on. In ssk for the tie breaker is gonna be tough. I expect the team to get the train back on the rails. Things will get real ugly and fast if they dont. I dont feel like ssk will be able to contain our rush, and fajardos one move to escape the pocket is less and less effective each time you see it.
  7. Not their fault. Can't expect 4 guys to pressure against 6 and 7 blockers.
  8. 1 Lawler. 2 jeffcoat. 3 interior DL HH bighill pick finally being dropped back for once
  9. Signing bonus no but he made the cut down so he atleast got the roster bonus for post TC. That isnt foolin around money.
  10. Thats true this is the time to struggle and get it fixed.
  11. One nfl signing bonus when he went back down and he clears north of 750k. Only 2.5-3x the local average. And as a pro athlete in an extremely violent sport you gotta plan for injuries. QFT
  12. 🤢 Cmon man he is country af. "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16" "Blue Ain't Your Color", look at his wiki every other sentence is top 100 country chart. Maybe one of the best country guitarist in the world. Better name quality then weve seen at time, and better then the half time junk weve been subjected to this year. I never watch the half time show at the GC, Id say this is better then usual for star power.
  13. Same. Really didnt think hed be back this year. I wonder if they will dig deeper now to get a vet back up. God forbid streveler goes down.
  14. Yep. If he was playing a medium zone around the goal line he would have still been able to spy vaj. not like he was gonna look to run that one in either. The prevent defense prevented the win again.
  15. Those 3 really close loses burn. We are 3-3 against the east. When was the last time the first seed in the west was .500 against the east.
  16. I can hear the cfl media and their power rankings singing the leos praise and booking their birth in the east final already. Beware teams that get hot late in the year.
  17. Except he gets paid per year, and only needs full coverage part of the year. Athletes have tons and tons of ability to get back taxed income as well. The biggest trafficker on the west coast of canada never served a day and wrote a book. The "war on drugs" and its political implications in the states is horrific. Out side of places like singapore, the us is one of the last places you want to get charged with trafficking. Easily the last of any first world country imo.
  18. Even at that point if you are still talking about 15 years worth of average annual income, and far more then some players come from. Hardrick for example, the tax return each year would be income for people in that area. The cash number is what people fixate on, but its all the same. Just like how soo many NFL and NBA players end up broke, and lotto winners etc. What you make isnt nearly as important as how you spend. Not spending money to protect your own investment in health insurance is mad for an NI.
  19. Sanchez, bolden and plenty of guys well before hefney made that and more. DBs are more replaceable now then ever. If any thing it was better in his era.
  20. Whats the average income where most of the players come from since most of them dont live in canada? Rockhill SC in 2018 had an average house value of 140,000$ and an average income of 24k. So for where he comes from, the 700k number is 26+ years worth of average income. You dont have to be set for life, but you can be set for the next year. You also have to remember he had 4 NFL contracts and 2 PR stints. He probably made pretty low money his first 2 years here. He may have made 500,000$ in his career, or he may have gotten some decent NFL bonus money when he went back down south and could be over 700k. The point is, if you cant budget and spend responsibly, including health insurance when your body is your meal ticket it doesnt matter how much you earn. Cant write people excuses for failing to budget. But yes, the health care for NI players is broken and needs to be fixed. Didnt the bombers kick in to a go fund me for him? In a hole like that he could have also gotten an expedited citizen ship up here and gotten it for free if he desired.
  21. no. We almost certainly will lose atleast one more game this year, and no one will be fired because of it. Lol. no. passions of the fan base, and patience from fans has little to no effect on management. If it did, hall would have been fired 37 times since he was hired here. This is mos and co's 6th year here. With far more disappointing play off performances then not. Thats a long time to have this much rope, and win 1 play off game. He has, and it is. But taking bullets for players doesnt help when you continually put them in positions to be shot at.
  22. Prevent defense. Hes partly right. Cover 2 would be fine, if bighill wasnt being sent on a QB contain none blitz. If he was playing a middle zone at the goal line instead, like a robber under 2, or in US terms the tampa-2 cover 2 system, you can pick up all 3 on their breaks. I do think bump and run is the best option in the red zone as timing routes and double moves are never going to be covered perfectly and all you need is a small angle to get that pass in. Imo, thats also a perfect situation to either go 30 front or drop willy back deep. 3 man fronts dont get the immediate pressure of an edge rush, but they do a better job of preventing really long pockets. With 2 guys rushing inside gaps and drake on the nose some one will come free. You often see hail mary situations fail, with a 30 front sacking the qb after the 3.5 second range. The bump throws off any timing routes, the second level of secondary help makes the qb wait for a second move / long pattern, mean while the pocket is being pushed back on his lap. If Im gonna send a man, id rather send a Dhb from the blind side and rotate coverage or roll a LB/drop willy under where the db is coming from.
  23. When it comes to the nature of people, its a pretty safe bet that an adult isnt changing in one year. Especially when we see the exact same situation talked about play out multiple times in this same year.
  24. Makes sense. We havent run that play with him yet have we? A little darvin adams throw back to streveler? Thats gonna be a good one some day.
  25. If some one is overbearing, micromanaging and making the CO call a more passive game in one year, its very likely to be the same thing the next year with the same coaches. Its easy to change the year on a calendar, not nearly so easy to change people.
