  1. 🤢 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Rushing tds i take it? XD, stats are extremely polarizing. Even though every one loves wins, and win/loss is just another stat. That short yardage off tackle for a td play was brilliant. knew he was gonna break one at some point.
  16. Depends on how you live. What % of the world will fail to make $700,000 in their life time? 90%?
  17. If you cant budget and spend money wisely it doesnt matter if you make 1 million a year, 1 billion a year or 20k a year. It will end up at 0 in no time.
  18. Yeah dont agree at all. Weve seen a team wide passivity with the lead and even last year mos was talking about taking more of an active role in defensive play calling. Its not just Mo who wants a job again saying it either. He took responsibility for his situation too. He didnt name names or point fingers. He didnt say younger this and mos that. Hes a guy who clearly wants to play still, and believes he can. Thats a tough situation whether he can or not. But he doesnt seem bitter and sure seems to be bang on. Its one play after we railed them for 4 offensive tds in the first half. Sure, they got a bit of momentum out of it. But we chopped the legs out from under our own horse half way through the race. Even if they didnt get that pick n score, spotting the other team the entire second half of football in the cfl doesnt work.
  19. They were, but they were trapped in a passive system that didnt adapt while montreal repeatedly exploited it in the same way.
  20. xD. Itd be interesting to see how elusive he is against Pro level athleticism.
  21. It was utterly confounding. Harris was tearing it up and had 9 carries for the game. Ive always believed that passive-very conservative football is bad football. Once you stop being aggressive you are begging to lose.
  22. Stats dont change in value when you win or lose. 100 yards passing in a win is worth as much as 100 yards passing in a loss. That is just a sad level of bitterness. Some one tell milt his career meant nothing because he didnt win. 264 yards, 84%+ completion percentage, 4 tds. If that isnt good enough to win idk what is. One pick, on an aggressive toss where the DB read it and cut on it perfectly. One other toss that was a poor toss, and a good throw away under pressure. Id take that performance from him every day of the week. Not to mention he did that while being hamstrung by plops passive offense. If we mixed in some deep balls god only knows what he could have done.
  23. I could see montreal snatching him up. With his past experience with khari, they now have an opening at OC, and both of them called plays in that stint as well. Could be a good marriage tbh, khari is aggressive down field and could compensate for Plops passivity.
  24. he isnt great, but he is a viable piece of a great defense. Honestly tackling is a problem at all 3 levels of our defense. Guys who are great tacklers on teams, and previously in their career hit or try to do lazy arm tackles. And tackling, is 100% coaching. The amount of times weve tried to pull down qbs and rbs with lazy arm tackles, taken poor angles on dump offs, and sold out for hits giving up big plays is beyond irritating. Any one in pro football is capable of very good tackling. You end up with bad tackling, when you accept it. I feel the same about effort from players getting back in on the play from the back side. We see a few guys do it, namely all 3 dts. But many others dont. When you see your 3 biggest and slowest guys on the field getting in on the back end of plays based sheerly off of hustle and frequently see pass rushers give up after losing the angle on the play, its the same issue as tackling. It happens because guys get away with it. With the amount of rotation we do in the front 7 no one should be soo tired they are slower then the DTs. If you arent getting that extended push from the front 7, rotating is wasted.
  25. I can see him frequently repeating a similar level of success to here, contender and play off team level offense. But over all the years he has been here he hasnt taken or even hinted at taking the next step forward to be able to play call for a championship team. If he was the OC and buck or some one else called the plays his offense could get it done.Its his adjustments, frequently out thinking himself and no one else, and passivity with a lead that hold him back. He got it done as a WR coach, but has been run out of every city hes been in.
