Calgary, edm for the top end wrs bc sask and mtl are in similar boats under that. Its a pick em imo. All three wr cores have suffered at the hands of sub par qbing. Id edge bc to the bottom of that stack. Personally, bj Cunningham ernest jackson and chris williams are guys you win with today. Carter, holley and naaman are guys who probably have their best seasons a head of them. Id take darvin adams and dressler this year over two of the top three guys from mtl and sask. The third man is what puts us out of that tier. But our ni depth is what puts us at the top of the third tier of talent. Hammer is right there too. But I think their system inflates the stats and the talent of that core isnt as great as it seems. I wouldnt argue with any one who puts hamilton above us though. willy has been announced as starter again. I guess that means he is healthy ish. I wouldnt throw adams to the wolves behind that OL. Adams with those Wrs and the talent on D could really turn them around. If they had an OL. And if adams pans out.

I think flanders is legit injured. I also think when lafrance is healthy we are better off using a DI else where. Thompkins is the first wr id give a crack. then washington (corey not the now gone ldamian.) then failing those and if finally healthy then flanders. Can you imagine the offensive threat posed by nubrady, harris and either flanders or lafrance all at once?

we have the horses. we need the jockey. Our roster isnt perfect on D. but it is pretty damned good / border line great.

Before he could succeed at wil he would have to focus on wraping up and tackling properly. he has been able to out muscle much smaller wrs with hits, but the bigger guys hed face in the box would demand better form.

The only issue with that is it leaves us thin at back up ni wr. (we need you matt coates) hense grant.

lil suburb of mtl. sacre bleu i surrender to the poutine.

Laval would be too close to montreal to have a franchise imo. I dont know what infrastructure QC has, but seeing some of the venues run out in the last year or two It cant be that bad can it lol.

it is, but if one team is on the field more, and is being run on and thrown deep on weather factors scale multiplicatively. Penalties total, but not penalties on D/o extending the game. Im not and didnt. I said its a possibility. especially late in the game. Blown coverage, wrong routes tons of errors that are mental can come from different sources. We run the most, but with the least consistency. We will stop for quarters and even halves at a time. The point is, a lot of factors come in to play when it comes to fatigue. Not just top.

personally i dont want to see expansion until we have each franchise stable and healthy. I also dont think we should ever go that deep in teams. But than I also think QC is a better city for a team then halifax.

he is selling out for hits and coming up dry a lot more then normal no doubt. But he isnt in and around the action nearly as much as previous. 2 tackle a game pace this year, which is less then half of last year. In previous years he was crushing wrs over the middle. This year not. He needs to adjust his game to match how teams and the system have adjusted.

Top isnt the only modifying factors in fatigue. Weather, style of game, penalties extended the number of plays (which also doesnt affect TOP) lots of other things do. Physically being worn down by being run over a lot. If you dont think any one was sucking air or had their hands on their hips in the game then you might be fatigued. They did. In all aspects. They executed and we shot our self in the foot every chance we got. When you see head scratching mistakes late in games fatigue may have been a factor.

You arent wrong. In the current scheme with bighill playing the same area short-middle side line to side line that loffler previously excelled at he is kind of with out a home. I was thinking for a moment during the game, would we be better with bighill at S, jsk at mlb, and loffler at wil? The time to get a customed to a new position for each guy a lone seems like it wouldnt work. Plus JSK has really done well next to bighill. Perhaps the long term solution is trading loffler to a place he fits better. If jones health is bad, perhaps trade loffler for another starting NI, or sign bakari grant cut bowman play 3 ni wrs, move mo back to S and play fenner at sam. Alexander comes back when healthy and the two rooks fill one spot.

Out side of the line, fatigue shouldnt be a huge factor in the first half. These are pro athletes. Its especially prevalent in the 4th. Top is an important factor in defensive fatigue, but also the type of offense playing against it. Heavy run, with a lot of wrs running off dbs will wear you down faster. It all depends on the type of game you are playing, how much you rotate the line etc. Corney out, roh largely in effective less rotation. Just cant lump in all pro football players. The difference between a wil/mac, a db, and a DL is gigantic.

the last two years when it recorded more take aways then ever before? Our points of turn over was a huge factor in our success the last couple years. especially when we were living off the leg of medlock. Defense forces a turn over, offense sputters medlock kicks the fg. that happened a LOT and won us a lot of our games. The problem is that isnt a reliable repeatable formula.

If you count carter as a wr you do have the edge in terms of talent. However our NI talent at the position and depth are superior. It wasnt just demski struggling bringing them in, and that happens. Its especially prone to happening when a qb changes happens. A huge difference exists in catching balls from one qb to another. Bowman should be shown the door. But With the mental problem that is carter, dressler + adams + our depth id keep our wrs over trading them all straight up for the riders wrs. Bighill, jsk and mo as our 3 from the bc games all upgrades. Randle as well.

If he actually did let him self go to an extensive degree as the riders claimed, i could see that being the cause of him resorting to that. Here, he was a bulldozer. Though normally hands out side the shoulders is more of a tackle issue trying to deal with speed around the edge.

Not enough starters. But i do believe the talent is available for teamers and PR. And that he gap, is developing those guys. This thread alone is about derek jones, a guy who since last year has been considered ready to start in the league but stuck behind loffler. Augustine showed he is ready to contribute on game day. A guy like spooner could draw in to allow more then one back up OL. Look at the list of NI that are not on the active roster right now. Corney, lafrance, augustine, jones, spooner, gauthier, speller and conteh. Only conteh is green guy. All the rest are guys who can contribute atleast as back end of the roster roles. Corney before being hurt had really turned the corner and also looked ready to start. Bc tried to scoop spooner last year to start for them. Speller and spoon are a coin toss in readiness. Gauthier had been one of the best teams guys in the league this year before getting hurt. Imo corney, lafrance, jones, spooner and speller all have strong starting potential. You dont get those type of guys around the corner by sitting on the PR rather then backing up and playing teams.

🤢 That is disgusting. No joke. He was MIA last year in edm too.

I have no clue what he is making, but i assume it isnt 100k+. I just cant see that. But yeah I think this series with toronto is as much leash as he should get. The max really. The nucks have handily out shown him thus far.

i dont think less spots for NIs helps long term. Its less spots for development. We see frequently, guys past over in the nfl come here and become stars. Imo we need more of a catch can to allow talent to stick around longer and develop more. Not a restriction to try and force the once we have to be better. The talent and athletic ability of Nis is going up in leaps and bounds every few years. Heck Id rather see 2 more NI active roster spots then less.

cthulhu for defensive co.

Respect every one, fear no one. Any time you face a young qb you need to be aware how they can hurt you and respect that. At the same time pressure him till he proves he can handle it. Holding is always a befuddling call. I feel like in general the times its called are often border line while constantly horrible holds go un called. Id love for the league to take a good long hard look at holding in the off season. Its kind of like the charge call in basketball. its never gonna be perfect. But we need to do some thing to make it better.

9 catches on 21 passes, 95 yards no tds 5 games. I dont suspect he is highly paid but I feel we'd be better served giving some one like thompkins a look, or bringing back denmark, heck bring in backari grant and start an extra NI. Bowman is a guy you need to involve and target a lot to get any thing out of and even then we all know his struggles with his hands.

xD Normally its LBers for us but we have an embarrassment of wealth on the DL. Hughes is the best of the two groups, but jeffcoat and ogopogo are 1b and 1c. Jefferson is a freak too.

At the same time edm was a freak game and we gave up 20 points to bc. If you lose a game where you give up 20 points, and dont score for nearly a half of football that cant be too heavy on the D. They were on the field far too much in bc. Do i worry about the D? Only when the other team runs the ball, we are up by less then 2 scores or its late in the game aka super prevent time. One day we will again have a ferocious D that fights to prevent each first down, doesnt give up gigantic plays every week and tackles well week in and week out. one day...
