hes had 2 pick 6s flat out dropped by D and a couple passes that should a been picked not grabbed. The big thing he is doing is bouncing back from adversity, and converting scores. ol, denmark and harris get credit for that too but so does he. Thats the question. Being as broken and passive as he was when he was pulled at this point in his career is a bad thing. But not un curable. Idk if he gets another start here, but he will get another shot some where. A change of scenery may be what he needs. But I would have loved to see what he did behind this OL and with the D and sts support nichols is getting. Guy is like gumby just keeps on bouncing back. But hes playing like a qb we can win with. not a qb that can win us games. At some point in this league you need a qb who can win the game for you. The last half of last weeks game plus the first half of this weeks game. Idr the exact stats but would have been some thing awful. Dont include the 2nd qt, just the previous 3/4 and you have atrocious lack of production the likes of which we havent seen since T martin. If he plays 3/4 like that in one game hes gonna get run outta dodge worse then willy.

just win baby, F#$% excuses.

i had forgotten about that game! That is certainly up there too. Any one know if hes still working at super store?

I feel the same way. I hope Oceans 8 would be better then that. But I am worried it will be. They werent master pieces but they were great pop corn movies. I really hope they are doing new 52 WW based movie. Because that line was amazing. That is how you make a story with a strong female lead. Its disappointing that the MCU wont commit to twists like that. (though dccu did the same with the superman scene in BVS) It really weakens there stories. How ever I think they will with the infinity gauntlet story line in order to get actors out of roles who arent going to continue. Rhodes death in the comics was incredibly moving. I was disappointed they didnt stick to it, but I think its because they are going to write out RDJ at some point and put don cheadle in his place.

weve had guys with more nfl starts do a lot worse in there second year here. What hes done has been nothing short of amazing.

thats pretty ridiculous. 1 sack 1 fr 2 picks aside from the returns is still the best pure db stats on d imop. Thats guys stat line may be unbeatable for overall single game performance by a position player though.

maybe better play making defense then swaggerville. Even though its over a small sample size.

Nichols is keeping it alive tbh. In the first half he reverting to some of his more troubled mechanics we hadnt seen previously this year from him. Half wind mill / bottom half wind up to his throws, choppy foot work etc. Hes only found harris out of the back field once iirc. And the drives that should be the best for us, first of the half and game which are pre planned and practiced sequences, are weak for him. He bounced back from adversity very well tnite. That pick would have crushed willy. But he had another pick 6 flat out dropped. The great returns from fogg and all the turn overs are whats making the team go right now.

that was a sick and clutch pick. That might have been the single greatest game statistically ive seen from a db for fogg. Denmark may be as much a sentimental pick, but I do think he sparked an offense that was rough in the first half.

Thats an old wives tale. Same as you cant make the club from the tub. (addison richards rule) Tons of guys have taken other players jobs due to injury.

Yeah. It used to be 1000 bucks a week for a while And at one point late 90s early 2ks it was like 600. I think removal of a couple neg list players from ssk list and reducing there cap of NLers for the year would be better punishment.

1 Clarence denmark. 7-195 2 tds 2 kevin fogg. 1 sack, 1 fumble recovery, 2 picks, another good return game. 3 andrew harris. 19 - 123 1 td. HH travis bond On a play in the 2nd quarter he pancaked his man, then went to the 2nd level and pancaked a 2nd man clearing the way for a big run by harris. Who you got? I was close to giving fogg no1 spot. But denmark and harris really spurred a sputtering offense.

except edmont has 7 ol bodies, and 7 dl. So when they dress 7, they have 8 with him. And calgary has the most beat up line in the league.

Them coming off a buy week too. Still feelin good going into it.

Yeah i was looking at stats between the two teams are really close. Should be a down to the wire game. Watch it be a blow out xD. Them not having ray, us having a banged up wr core, ol, and dbs. Still like our chances.

Eh most teams play 12-13 games including out of conference. Its 9 games in conference. Some small teams play even more. They tend to be more active in TC with inter team scrimmages n stuff. The bigger deal i think is short weeks. Some times having 4-5 days between games vs 7 can make even a 6 game stretch feel much longer. Especially compounded with the size of the field and all the running done up here. If they were in the nfl, theyd have 4 pre season games and 16 regular season games. As opposed to here they get 2 preseason and 18 regular season. The quicker turn over on most series is a factor too.

I instantly feel gratified. And Im not even a big GnR fan. Sorry reading that i heard that song in my head when i read patience.

You are correct in that I am not any where near as acustomed to the need to flex players around the ratio. As a positional player/coach my in game role was up in the box observing patterns, helping track plays, etc. You cant teach guys mid game, too much advice while playing or between series is either lost before/between the ears or brings on a shut down. I often marvel watching some coaches and the way they shuffle guys for various packages all while balancing the ratio/di rules. (not sask) Its not some thing often appreciated but incredible none the less. Adequate doesnt win a lot of games. Good is the enemy of great, idk what adequate is the enemy of when we are putting DL in on OL and having to change his numbers to go both ways in multiple games, we arent ok with that depth. Can you imagine what would happen if the injury bug bit our OL as bad as it has our WRs or DBs? Good lord we'd have garret waggoner, trent corney, on D with jake playing boths ways. Im all in favor of positional rotations, especially on the DL, where most of the time you have smaller guys smashing up against bigger guys and more of them. But we arent carrying more DL either. We are carrying more Lbs. Who arent rotating in much at all.

ah derp i see it now. You are correct i do not see imp back ups, or more then 7 ol. You are correct I apologize. That site seems pretty good its a nice resource. From the first and last week, that does however leave us one ol short of what the majority of teams are running, and with a similar deficit at DT who back up the back ups. That leaves us down 2-3 big bodies compared to most teams. Carrying a DI there may be far from traditional, but when your spread thin and lack production Im all in favor of trying un traditional. Having so few bigs is as un traditional. Only over all we havent had great production from DT or OL. And other teams arent threatening to and putting DL on ol.

The small un seen moments that lead to big game changing plays. Ie a guard pulling and sealing the edge on a screen pass that scores a td.

Tbh i worry as much or more about young qbs coming in and tearing us up. Seen too many back ups come in and win games on us in the last 15 or so years. If we can get pressure on him, I think we will be in a great position. As good as our secondary has been despite being banged up I never wanna see a young qb have time in the pocket to get comfortable. I think the game will be decided by Top and first downs. If we can drive the field regularly, even not scoring a ton of points but keeping our D off the field and preventing TO from getting a rhythm we have a great chance.

I think it happens more then one might think, with a vet going to a 1game injured list under a fake injury.

http://www.winnipegsun.com/2013/05/06/bombers-take-de-andy-mulumba-in-cfl-draft Kind of an interesting read in retrospect. That will only help the Bombers in the long run, even if Mack isn’t the one running that show when it occurs. Mack is under intense pressure to make the playoffs this season, yet he didn’t go for the sure thing. That also says he believes in the players he already has, which makes sense because he already has seven Canadian starters and didn’t need to find a starter in this year’s draft http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-to-take-Mulumba-in-CFL-draft-206279871.html

I dont see a full game roster on that site. It has the starters, and the 2 guys sent to the in active roster. No full roster. In week 1 out of 16 available in active roster spots only 4 were ol. (the earlier point, not yours, that an average of half would be needed to bring the numbers down) I was coaching junior football (wrs) and playing rb/lb just a few years ago. Ive had personal responsibility and an injury that stops me from being more involved in football, but then I dont know that youd have any way to distinguish actual football knowledge from some one who sits around and plays madden or watches games like an average fan. Mike generally has very good insight into comings and goings of the team. Considering the amount of fake insiders the fan forums for this team has seen over the years thats pretty bloody good. But i havent seen any thing that makes me go, he really understands the finite portions and nuances of the game more then most. For what its worth i dont see him bullying any one. If he disagrees with some thing he sees he says so. And he tends to post logic based opinions backed by facts. Things on here got pretty toxic before the win streak with some kind of crazy claims from people not understanding the buzz words they threw around, or just beleaguering the team/players to any and all end.

I dont see a full game roster on that. Starters, reserve and then stats. week one bc cgy, no ol out of the 4 spots. I see one of the 4 in edm vs ott is an ol. i see 1 ol out of the 4 in our game with mtl being an ol. And 2 out of Hamm to. So out of 16 spots i see 4 ol. First week prolly isnt ideal to look at for that. Looked at week 7 i saw 2 in edm v ott. o in ssk v ca. 0 in ham vs wpg. The bc and mtl one is just the stat sheet.
