With that ol yeah. But maybe chemistry needed a shake up. But the production is in huge part to the ol and harris more then nichols. He could have easily had a couple picks. Remember hamiltons D is much better then edmonton, and with willy we put 26 on them.

hes just that good we expect him to do that pretty crazy isnt it.

yep forgot about the single. That alone would have out scored 3 games and tied our offense for another this year. (including 1 pre season game)

bond wasnt healthy earlier in the year though his coming in and hardick sliding over was huge.

willy did drive the ball just not consistently and not for scores. Our offense drove, with a heavy heavy dose of harris behind a very good ol. nichols didnt score more points then willy. Our offense scored more then any game previously but with running and kicking. Willy lost by 4 to edm with 22 yards from harris and poor ol play. 3 or 4 sacks and 2 fumbles.

your right i forgot the one single

we had decent field position a bunch of times especially in the first half when we really played well. Our offense put it up, 100 yards rushing in the first half but medlock still put up all those points. we werent kicking 55 yard fgs either. our red zone production wasnt strong. we should have put up 50 easily.

not to mention medlock put up 17 points.

nichols put up 1 td. medlock put up 17 points

id say bond. Loffler and terrence were bloody brilliant too.

3rd star andrew harris. Huge production, especially in the first half. If we had kept feeding him the game wouldnt have been soo close. 2nd star Matt nichols. Got rid of the ball, drove for 2 tds. Played really well. 1st star frederick terrence. He pick really put momentum on our side with that game saving pick. He and loffler had massive games in a banged up secondary. happy honker Travis bond. Best our OL has played. Sure edmonton hasnt had a good pass rush all year but our OL hasnt looked that good in ages.

no joke. it was some thing like 15 carries in the first and 6 in the second. completely gave up on the pressure release and screen to him too.

are we gonna have this every single week?

100 yards + on some 7 yards per carry in the first half alone. He was beasting.

Thats true, but edmonton is also dead last in sacks in the cfl. But i am cautiously optimistic this core of guys can keep it going moving forward.

Well, he did a great job of getting rid of the ball quickly. And ate a sack where he easily could have tried to force some thing. We scored 2 tds in the red zone, but really kicked far too many FGs. Made a lot of good decisions, only forced the ball a couple times. Missed a couple guys but was very effective and drove the field. Some how we still really lacked production in the 3rd quarter. He didnt get a ton of help from plops play calling. A lot of the old hat calls. The OL played a monster game though. Best of the whole year. We seem to have found our starting OL. Though edmonton is dead last in qb sacks in the cfl. The D didnt rack up the turn overs, but a few guys came up with some huge plays and played solid till we went to prevent.

would have been nice to have that OL play the whole year.

true enough weve seen a few qbs have brief stints of brilliance only to disappear quickly. He looked good though. Thats better then some guys we've run out there.

you claimed its true and well publicized lets see it

you know willy did the same stuff opening the game against edmonton right? Oline has been moderately competent so far that helps too.

Yeah thats very possible. I mean he was canned from edmonton just before a play off game with less reason. But for me, as a fan if we are gonna go down that road we have to follow it to its logical conclusion.

yeah thats some thing none of us will ever know. did the pick turn into any one? Usually a big change shakes up a team and gets more out of them for a game maybe two.

thats a good point too. People change and make mistakes. He plead guilty, thats guilty. I was saying if we take a moral high point where we refuse to hire some one like him because of that kind of past, we'd have to let go of a bunch of guys. I agree with that on ray. That was a huge head scratcher and that kind of move would be my primary concern with him. He is generally a very sharp football mind though. Some times guys like that end up out thinking them self.

we could not have afforded harris, and why would he want to come here to back up a young qb on a bad team instead of going to back up the oldest guy in the league on a very good team? Its not stuff like that, though you have become a broken record with harris. Its the frequent and drastically wrong stuff you spew like how harris wasnt a versatile enough back for wally.
