  1. Yeah I think director of Canadian scouting is more realistic to start with. I wouldn't put him ahead of dyce or Ted here. Might be better if he worked for the league even.
  2. I dont think mac leaves. The schedule and flexibility is most important to him from what I understand. Goveia though, yeah I think thats pretty likely. Unless for some reason they give plop the GM title too lol.
  3. Yeah I really like borsa too. He has rare speed and quickness. Could be a good one. And the great thing is he won't need to rush at all. He will get lots of time to learn the pro game. I think one of bailey and demskis runs got charted as a pass ala shovel, but we did have a great stretch of even when you knew we were running you had no idea who was gonna get the touch. Bailey looks really good on the sweeps too. Being able to mix 4 guys through carries with many various looks is a tremendous threat. I hope buck continues to harness that. Also, I really wish we'd get grant in on some offensive touches. Thats the most dangerous guy on the team with the ball in his hands imo. The big difference too, was that plop just ran fly sweeps. It wasnt till late 18 when demski had started actually doing damage with the sweeps that we saw jet motion used to pull defenders and stretch them out of the box on runs to harris. That motion is really what made our offense work, as we especially saw with out demski early this year. Suddenly you have 2 viable ball carriers running in different directions and the defense has to be patient and stay at home, wait for the hand off and carefully watch to go for the right guy. That also has opened up some pretty good quick screens, especially in the first half of the first elk game. But also in the last game we saw play action, a fake pump to a screener and a brilliant timing route at the seam to darvin adams for a huge gain. Fajardo at his best in 19 carved up those timing routes, add in PA / sweep motion / and or the screen that the sweep opens and good luck defending that. Dressler was great, and got us some good gains with that screen, but man plop really knocked a couple years off his career with those runs.
  4. I think argos or maybe the als make for the best grey cup. The argos dont have consistent qbing, or dedication to the run game other wise they would be a serious threat at no2.
  5. I think its more about being careful with his health and making sure we have the best and healthiest harris possible in the play offs. QFT
  6. Yep. I think he's a decent player coach too. But man he's not good at making the best of his weapons.
  7. His hands and blocking have been tremendous. But augustine has made big strides on teams this year too. I hope we work both in. One thing is for sure we are in a great situation long term for ni rb
  8. Bcs front made good adjustments for the run but gave up any chance of pressure.
  9. To be fair if you watch it again you could drive a truck through that hole and he wasn't touched in the first 10 plus yards. Did look fast though. They are. But at this point augustine and Brady both need regular reps to improve technically as backs. Both guys should get 10 ish carries a game till the play offs.
  10. He sure did. On cjob he talked about how he spent the off year working on speed and getting faster and quicker and playing quicker. It sure seems to have paid off. With Harris out for probably the next game at least I'd love to see a fairly close split in carries between the two. Especially some 2 back stuff we've talked about for years. Fake a dive to Brady then power toss go Augustine. Soo much that we could do with both.
  11. Or augustines 55 yard run the whole secondary and kongbo sprinting down field behind him on the side line waving towels and cheering.
  12. They were totally OK with it going into the ldc. When they had convinced them self Fajardo was a MOP candidate and that they were destined host the wf Soo true. Watching the highlight of Augustines 55 yarder you just see the bc front destroyed as he hits the hole. I think it was Couture who was looking for a lion to lay out and no one wanted any part of it. This team sets the physical tone in every aspect and dials it up to 11 as soon as we kick off. From augustine with a smashing on teams to Bailey laying a guy out on a block in the first drive to ba passing out crocodile arms to every wr. This team plays much harder than other teams are comfortable with. Even grants td run. He didn't have a seam he made a seam.
  13. At this point I think it's a matter of time till the mafia have statues and names up on the ring. IIRC he's already 2nd most for coaching wins.
  14. Sayles is a tremendous player and athlete. But at this point, nichols is as good a player at worst, (not as good an athlete) and dramatically cheaper. That type of change is how great teams become dynasties. Knowing you are letting go a good player but that you have the ability to replace them with a good player who is cheaper.
  15. Other teams got 3 or 4 games vs ottawa. We got 0. Other teams started out with like 5 home games in a row, we had a balanced home away schedule. Other teams didnt have to play 4 home n home back to backs, and other teams didnt have to replay every team save twice, with in 2 weeks. Every time we beat a team we'd have to turn around and play them again the next week or the following week. That is stupid hard in football. The schedule sucks. Badly. But it sucks soo bad its fairly balanced. Also, toronto did fine in their short week 3 game stint. That week took them from one of the bottom teams in the east to the top team. Adversity is an opportunity to be great. Losers try to blame other teams lack of adversity for their success.
  16. Watching him lay motionless in the background of the play was horrible. It took forever for the booth to mention it too. If he had been an offensive player that would've been called for spearing.
  17. Idk who their guy is. Usually it's a speedy guy who converted from qb in college or a Canadian guy. It is awful. Especially given the nature of our game. The NFL is much more of a pocket passer league with the extra down meaning throw aways can be used to save qbs butts. The 2 qb roster doesn't work here. We've seen it a couple times this year already. They can but then they lose a critical di. No one is gonna do that.
  18. Our defense has scored as many tds on other teams passes as they have against us all year. No secondary in the forward pass era has done that through 11 games. Those green guys are funny in the head.
  19. Probably money savings. Getting a decent us project qb to come up still costs a decent penny. I don't see any reason go not have 2 imp qbs and 1 Ni slot on the active roster. Maybe give teams the ability to opt out due to injury but make it a bonus roster spot. Maybe they don't want 3rd stringers covering kicks like Bennett was for us. But they could put rules in for that too.
  20. If I was him I'd a handed off every single play. Maybe put in Rainey and run wild cat or some jazz. You aren't gonna win and you're probably still a play off team. Don't risk Reilly. If I was Reilly I'd be looking for a new team or new management that can build an ol.
  21. I look forward to seeing how we match up vs mtl.
  22. The whole d will be. I don't see any threat from blm or Fajardo vs this d. Or Reilly. They got no chance.
  23. Harris had a lot of tough runs this year too. Teams are playing the tight zone inside zone run differently than in 19. We need go see more creative runs regularly. We see flashes called once or so a game late. Buck might be holding that back for the post season though. Bradys vision and patience has been great in the two partial games. Simple nature of the game is that some times run plays will get blown up in the back field and some times the d will get every gap. Brady is 100 percent an every down starting rb in the cfl right now. Augustine might be too though in 19 his blocking was lacking.
  24. Boy Calgary really made a game of that late but honestly the 3 teams under the Bombers are dead even imo. In fact they are neck and neck with the 3 teams in the east. Any of those teams could host and or win a semi final. But at this point despite being close I don't see those being great games. A lot of sloppy football and big roster holes.
