  1. I dont think this organization is capable of turning a loss into a moral victory.
  2. The problem isnt the wrs. Remember when lucky whitehead was invisible for us last year? Yeah leading the league in receiving. Weve seen lots of wrs leave winnipeg and suddenly be legit threats. Idk how many itd take, the issue is not talent. Woli is very good, but hes playing the field side wide out. Thats a hard position to excel at. Its long passes no matter what. We dont do much to involve him in the offense. The play call has to utilize its weapons. It isnt play ground football where you run what ever route and just try to get open. Being open is about a couple seconds of a throwing window. And on the field side, that window is small. We also use motion with our wrs to run flood / sweep concepts with demksi and bring woli in from the field to block. That motion changes defensive back leverage and can shift defenders to open the run. Last year we saw more yankee concepts where we would play action to move the box defenders up and to a side and open up short seams and passing windows. We havent done that much this year, and our run game hasnt been good for 2 out of 3 games. Our passing offense is not self sufficient for the most part. We dont make heavy use of timing routes, rubs, attack the seams we rely on play action, sweeps and motion. When the run game fails, play action doesnt work. We havent used PA alot this year, and didnt have demski last week so we didnt even have the jet sweep / motion fake to set stuff up. Hamilton moved guys out of the box to match our motion and bit on PA. That opened up holes for our inside zone running scheme. Toronto did not. Their DL anchored and disengaged for tackles, gap cancelled and they loaded the box with various defenders at varied depths. If we dont improve our play call and execution every team will start doing that. Buck pierce has made some changes to what we do, but he is still very much a plop disciple. His offense is very similar. As of yet it hasnt shown to be better at much other than deeper passes. On top of all that, woli's been banged up and was questionable last week. He would be much better off at SB with a faster guy at his wideout spot. Woli would put up 1k+ receiving with any team save ottawa and be an elite ni wr.
  3. We seem to be at a veteran tipping point with kickers in the league, a time when new kickers immerge. But if any thing the current jobs would be filled by IMP kickers and slowly they would be replaced by NI kickers. But even then I feel like the majority of elite kickers in the cfl tend to be IMPs.
  4. Hmm must be listed all together on the roster page
  5. He was. But we have Richmond on the pr and 15 total on the pr. So either couple guys getting cut or some bodies getting moved around to the ir. I can't see it being an ni getting the boot either.
  6. Rather than just out played I'd say we are heavily depleted got out coached and out executed but ya.
  7. Shut up and take my money. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/nfl/draft/.amp/scouting-reports/mikehampton That report is brutal. Doesn't look like he doesn't like tackling. Looks like a big db with field speed rather than track speed. Should be interesting. The fact he was once highly touted and our front office wants him tells me he's probably a baller. Interesting that we got an imp ol when we have Richmond on the pr and traded Poole. We usually keep 1 imp development on the pr. He packed on 30 lbs since finishing college. Ran out side zone running scheme in college while playing at left tackle. Looks like a high upside projectable imp tackle.
  8. Wrs going up for the ball almost never get called for offensive pi because the db almost always initiates contact. 18 yards per catch tremendous speed especially for a 6 foot 4 225 lbs wr. He had monster yac and catch rate. The hardest wr match up in the league. almost 1600 yards and 11 tds on 88 catches. No one was close in 2018 to him. Darvin Adams best year too.
  9. Proud boys are half trollish them self. If you starve groups like that they go away. If you feed them they grow. Thats how it went from a silly trollish group of sheep to what it is. Allowing them to change and impact society is giving them far too much power. Thats a good point too. I see a ton of NBA players do it after nailing a 3.
  10. Yep, and with harris a bit. You dont often get the chance mid season to add an NI with his size and athleticism. Little on a local product. He hasnt seen a lot of teams play but even to sit him on the PR and mold him into a wr or hybrid, or a teams guy would be a win.
  11. Jamel lyles cut by bc. Hes one id love for us to take a flyer on especially if harris is gonna be another week +. Hed bring much more of a change of pace. Very athletic with a great frame could be a guy who goes to wr or gets multiple uses like demski.
  12. It looks like dane evans is back in the starters spot for hamilton.
  13. You cant compare a swastika to the OK gesture. Thats reductio ad absurdum at its finest. By that level silliness the blue bombers, which are named for the brown bomber which was it self a racist nick name should change names. If you look for monsters in every shadow and bit of nuance you will find some thing to scare you. But that doesnt mean its real or a threat.
  14. He was a fan favorite after a strong early showing in buffalo. He got hurt and missed a chunk of time, and his release may involve some injury as well. Hes not just elite, imo duke at 100% is a top 2 wr in the league. And hes a big elite wr. Every team in the league should be in on a guy like duke. Its not about who you have, no team has a wr core soo good that he doesnt drastically make it better.
  15. That whole thing was a myth thats been busted 100 times over. It was a 4chan troll project that social media bit down hard on. Then the actual right wing nut bags also fell for the social media outrage. Its one of the dumbest moments in 4chan trolling history.
  16. Still first practice of the week so splitting time with harris isnt too surprising. I hope hes healthy soon. Demski too. His motion / fake / sweeps opens a whole lot for our run game.
  17. He did. Lawler and woli both had much better games. Lawler had 2 drop but still was hands down better. Lawler was catching balls down field. Bailey was all short tosses. Mcknight was better though not spectacular by any means.
  18. If we had medlock its a 1 point game at worst. If we used our challenge and over turned the pick or the deep pass to adams thats probably enough to win. Despite one of the most lopsided TOP games in recent memory, and the offensive stagnating to the point of 3 2 and outs to start then 6 two and outs with 2 first downs up to the 3 minute warning in the first half and 4 in total in the first half we lost a very close game. The times our defense has been stranded that badily in the past, or any teams, theyve never kept it together soo well that late into the game.
  19. Its not a one game thing. Hes taken 3 horrible holding penalties that cost us. He has had bad drops in each game. The difference in week 3 is a few guys had the dropsies. But yes not all the incompletions where on the wrs. Collaros threw a fist full of balls low and behind targets. Darvin had a much worse game, but bailey was dropping short passes. And going back to last year has been the weakest of our current wrs. Bailey was 4/8 with 2-3 bad drops.
  20. Because Darvin woli and demski aren't healthy and 4 isn't the same number as 5. When you have a chance to take out your weakest wr and add maybe the best wr in the league you do it. Even if your 4 is the 2000 wr core. Clearly doesn't get the cfl or football.
  21. Ehh kicking maybe. But medlock had a sophisticated grasp of multiple punting techniques that maybe 20 pros total have access to.
  22. I think I prefer training camp guy. He's atleast mildly entertaining. Nate too. Positrons when most people wanted a guy or two cut and a handful of roster changes. The cognitive dissonance is real.
  23. It's a shame he's hurt. I hope he's healthy and back soon. He's a hell of a player.
  24. Which is fine. He's been good at punting and he might end up being a great kicker. Any thing other than crapster mcshankypants. Legs should go to medlocks place in the off season and get some coaching. In both jobs.
  25. Tough but Duke. As long as Duke means crappytoes gets the boot and we let legs take over.
