Its the reporting groups at the ground level that are un trustworthy though.

and kenton keith / corey holmes better then blink. BUT HIS YPC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Collaros has a case of the willys imo. Qb production around the league is sky high, and yet now more then ever half the teams have a guy i wouldnt touch with a 10 foot clown pole. Im not gonna say who it was, Ill just say its R. pedersen no no no thats too obvious. Rod P.

We saw mixed results at various times. At times we struggled to rush the passer. Then we did not. DL talent is the best and deepest in the league. We struggled with Lbers, but then knox turned it up to 11. Wild is in the mix and MO is in our prayers to return to form. Hurl is the issue in the LB core, that and our D system. Db, we need more quality bodies. Over all thats probably the position weve scouted the best in this regime. Still think we let go of superior players though, so it doesnt matter if we bring the guys in only to sit/cut em. ol, rb we are pretty strong at. qb, I think we know the guys who will be in camp next year one way or another. Wr is like DB, but a bit brighter. if dressler and adams play a full season each no one will talk about a need for wrs. Weve also had talent at wr but lets not rehash all that again. Similar situation to DB. though Im excited to see givens in a full camp. I would love to see a legit no1 wr come in to turn our core into one of the best. But thats almost certainly some thing thatd come from the cfl FA, or a guy we have stepping up.

Put em in laser tag type gear that can light up like a christmas tree if they get touched. Have it be 6 on 6. enough for Enough to run power, option and spread offenses. As well as zone and zone blitzes. 3 downs, play both ways with roster room for maybe 3-4 subs. Play in the early spring, maybe on AFL style small fields.

Thanks and good idea. Yeah it is, some great stories in it. The qb whisperer - Bruce Arians. HC of the cardinals, former OC/qb coach of peyton manning, andrew luck, carson palmer (current) and ben roethlisberger, Worked for a short stint under bear bryant, one of the all time great ncaa HCs. You come for the football, but stay for the great personal stories. The score takes care of it self - bill walsh. Taken to the point of compilation and first revision then shelved while walsh returned to football. He passed away, and walshs son helped with finishing the book. This book is more leadership, teaching, and building oriented then strictly football. Its like the 5 rings or the art of war. But based in football and a more modern era. It gets repetitive but the insight, stories, and lil nuggets make it well worth while. Finding the winning edge - bill walsh. The football bible. more football, but still a strong dose of the character you find in "the score takes care of it self". Its harder to find in physical form, but its some thing that will come up with a huge majority of coaches, and football nerds. Blood sweat and chalk - Tim layden. Its a very basic Xs and Os book. The real value is the coaching lineage put down, and the history given for the systems contained in it. Especially the spread variants, and option offense. The big book of Belichick - Alex kirby. The style of this book is very polarizing. Its word for word copied from countless years of interviews with Belichick. The best and most interesting questions and answers. It can be tough to slog through in a single go for some people. I was one of these people. But the insights on every thing from scouting, positional play, Xs and Os, teaching, management and more is incredible. Football scouting methods - Steve belichick. Before Bill belichick was the envy of coaches all over, his dad was considered the original scouting guru. This book is old (1962) so you have to go in prepared for that and be ready to take some stuff with a grain of salt. Its a whole new world today. But a lot of it, the core, holds true today. This is the Old testament version of the football bible. Guys with chest hair like this (and no interest in buttoning their shirts) have a 100% percent chance of hitting on your side line reporter. Ive never much liked al davis. But I allways respected the crap out of him for allways doing it his way and not letting fear of failure impact his actions. I wish I could have seen the old afl vs nfl superbowls. No one lets rivalry like that survive today in the pros.

In this day and age you should not trust any ones alleged ppv buys, box office $, dvd/book sales etc. Its all far too fudged. Some stuff the foreign market is drastically bigger then the us. Movies, like transformers for instance have made huge bank in china alone. That said mma isnt a draw like that atm in china. All I know and trust is, that ppv made a crap tillion dollars for a few guys. And the bald one makes most bad politicians look trust worthy.

I have trouble imagining that working out. first fight, he loses every one goes oh right durr. And the sales plummet. Only way he wins is if they give him the cm punk treatment and dig up a lowbie, and one thats a puncher at that. That said Id pay to watch him get smacked around. There is a particular face a person gets, an Oh $^&* moment. Happens the first time some one gets rocked with a head shot, a liver/body shot, a leg kick and put in a choke. The choke is easily the scariest of em all. No doubt hes gone through the head and body shot early in his younger days of training. I also dont doubt he would get some decent ground coach in who'd push his comfort level. But leg kicks are risky, I could see him not taking a hard leg kick in training.

grand parents might indeed work better. Hell ya to the mandalorians! I suspend my belief for laser cannons talking frog people and hokey super power religions Im willing to be flexible lol. Really I just wish for resolution in some great character story lines. Oh and wookie jedis, I wish for wookie jedi/sith. Also, Id love to see the next series work on different angles in the star wars universe. Sith/smuggler protagonist etc. I also have a huge nerd boner for the EU.

They had to dumb the system down further and further and work him up to those plays. He was that limited. Yeah I hope to find a heavy cache of games on YT again for winter rewatching. Most of the time you dont see that much. most players/positions any way. If you are in a position where you need to take into consideration all the other teams players its generally a slower to react position like saftey. fast wide spread read leading to a fast reaction play is about as hard as it gets. And why Qbs get all the love/hate. Yeah its even more true in the nfl. Thats a big reason why they are soo heavy handed on prospects from none nfl style offenses. (even more so in the past) Some guys are real students of the game, guys who love to learn and improve. Peyton manning is a great example of this. Bruce arians has gone into great depth about his commitment, preparation and desire to learn. he tells one story about how as soon as manning was drafted, that night he wanted a copy of the play book to get started. They went to interview him, and it ended up being like a 3 hour meeting with him asking as many questions as they did. Where as ryan leaf blew off their work out, then wanted to do his own limited/easy open work out, and was out to party the night he was picked. Thats a trait as rare as a phenomenal arm. (the story is from his book the qb whisperer, a great read) But once you have 6-8 years of high level experience doing some thing, changing is fantastically hard. Combine that with the type of personality a QB is fostered with / type the position attracts, and its good luck chuck. Jim harbaugh talks a lot about how hard/impossible it is to change most Qbs. That its more keeping them right rather then trying to get them right. If any one wants I can dig up one of his (qb) coaching clinic videos. Bill walsh also talks about it in the score takes care of it self, and finding the winning edge. In baseball scouting they look for guys with 1-2 skills that are at or project to a MLB level, then work on adding 1-2 skills and polishing what they have. Ive heard it said a few times that at best if you work really hard and well on improving a weakness, you can improve it to be mediocre. But you cant turn a weakness into a strength. As seen in several drafts, the more exposed to competition some one is, the less potential they have. Noob gains, are allways the biggest gains.

Mine is the casino story line. Time line be damned ( we dont know reys age any way) dutchess satine and obiwan parents are my no1. A rebels tie in would be great too.

Since watching the punisher netflix series ive had 2 of its songs stuck in my head. Hell broke luce, tom waits and In time mark collie.

His last several stops have all been turrible. At one time he was highly thought of. Brett favre in his prime will do that though. Hes a guy whose known to be very, very rigid with old school pro/power offense. I form wide stuff. I dont see how this can end up well. If he agrees to allow an OC who knows the canadian game to run the offense his value is hugely diminished. If he tries to force his old offensive notions on the league its probably a short run for him in the cfl. In general I think football systems come and go and return again. With the entire cfl running variations of west coast, passing ball control / deep attack and having done so for years an opportunity does exist for a drastic shift to take advantage of the league. Imo that system would be a spread option offense. As the time itd take to get the heavies at all the positions, groom them, and get them experience would give all the prep time in the world for teams to adjust before you found success / a new job.

It all depends. A guy who is a 4 year starter at college and played at a high level of highschool also starting for 3-4 years is gonna be exceptionally hard to teach. I suspect that might play into our scouting of QBs. We often seem to bring in guys with good size strong build, all around athlete/players who have a lack of experience in general. Easier to shape, high up side etc. thx Great questions like this allways make for great discussions and threads so thank you!

in part for sure. I never saw that offense evolve to do more then that though. despite having some fantastic potential in the running game, and guys who can break big gains off short passes.

It can vary a lot, from staring down their hot route, patting the ball on deep passes, the way they try (or dont) to sell the play action fake, small hand/leg/head moves pre snap can be a gigantic advantage as well. After a while you have enough tape to pick up tenancies like preferred target zones to pass in, especially on certain routes. You can pick up the inflection change of their cadence to get a read on hard counts and allow you to cheat the rush (similar to hand/leg/head movements just before the snap) You also have enough film to say for certain if a guy has the touch to complete a certain pass / to a part of the field, the strength to another etc. If a guy always throws behind the wr on crossing routes the DB can play a trail position, bait a pass and jump it. The best specific guy who fell victim to this imo is rick mirer. Once dubbed as the next great QB, 2nd overall pick, one of the first starting rookie qbs and set tons of records for a rookie qb. And just like that the next year he was hot garbage. He could hardly complete a pass to the right side of the field. He couldnt read or pick up the blitz and had shell shock built in. Teams figured out he was only running 4 or 5 passing plays total. Its easy to blaze a trail as a new guy, but in pro sports you can only fool teams for soo long.Teams will adapt, the question is can you answer it. NFL teams adapted the 3-4 for speed backs like OJ simpson. Blocking schemes evolved (and the value of blind side tackles) with dominant jack lber rushers like LT. In the cfl, Banks returning, chris williams and as bomber fans weve seen a TON of dbs who are good as rookies and done soon after. Imo, part of jennings and the leos fall last year was play calling, OL and teams figuring him out late the previous year. Most of the last 2 games against us the leos could hardly pass. The offense was one dimensional, and teams started forcing the leos to beat them with some thing other then the deep ball. And they never adapted to win with some thing other then the deep ball.

when has any pro football out side of he nfl really worked? Adding more football leagues in the us is never a good idea. With the level of following at HS, college, and the nfl the market is hyper saturated.

and every team in the league needs more depth below that...

We need more import talent, not better. The top tier of our imp talent is among the best in the league. We need more, and so does every other team in the league. That is the nature of the modern cfl.

hollywood really does ruin every thing.

this winter, only true if you are an argos fan.

They barely made the play offs, didnt post a winning record, and were in trouble the whole year. Let their year guide your aim and youll return to the dark ages. We dont have the luxury of playing in the east, or of being irrelevant for huge swings of time. The sports market in TO is not like that of any other city in the nation. Out side of the leafs they are professional bandwagon hoppers. The argos are a trinket to occasionally revel at for a small portion of the city. The bombers are a part of the heart of winnipeg.

Ol are a bit more fickle then most positions. A lot of insta start guys are just that because of need. They have the potential to turn into a high level starter so teams take their lumps. Idk if rookie chung would start on this team right now. Imo his upside is exceptional. If he had a full camp he could start at guard as a rookie. It wouldnt be the smoothest option but he could do it. But yeah Qbs are the prestige position.

Agree with you. I dont hate this movie like some do, this really seems to be a polarizing movie among fans. But I was disappointing. They built up soo much and had soo much potential and just pissed it away. Snoke didnt have to be darth plagueis, and ray didnt have to be the daughter of satine-kenobi / kanan-hera / ezra-sabine but they had to be some thing. If they wanted ray to be a 1 in a trillion chance out of no where they shouldnt have set up her parents soo much. Snoke was bordered on darth maul levels of poor use. They can allways retcon that stuff back in, in the extended universe they have a few generations of skywalker past luke. Though I doubt they will no any time soon. The movie wasnt bad at all, not like the prequels. Id say my least favorite of the 3 reboots. They settle for too much shallow fan service while failing to deliver on what made star wars great in the first place.

Off season is easily worst season. Worse then winter. Worse then traffic/construction season. And we are in the heart of it. That long before FA period of pre season. Now is the winter of our discontent.
