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.

ya i see that now. The whole thing sounds gree hee hee heeasy.

was he convicted of that? I remember it happening but dont remember any verdict or plea. looked it up should have in the first place i guess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Tillman Tillman pleaded guilty to the charge on January 4, 2010, the day his trial on this summary offence was to begin.[16] He was granted an absolute discharge the following day and subsequently received no criminal record but was fined $50.00.[24][25] Judge Murray Hinds stated that Tillman was "genuinely remorseful [and] in this case there's no suggestion that Mr. Tillman is not generally of good character. He has no prior criminal record. His behaviour towards [the teenage girl] on Aug. 6 appears to be an aberration fuelled by his consumption of two non-prescription drugs."[26] On January 8, 2010, he resigned from his position as the Roughriders' general manager.[17] Pretty sickening. Tbh mixing morality and sports is really tough. Its easy to judge some one like him, but the amount of troubled/troubling individuals around pro sports is massive. If we deny some one like him a job we'd have to cut any one involved with the team who had similar things in the past. We have had some long time beloved players who had very troubled lives away from football.

i pray we pull out a win for him

Why let a little thing like facts get in the way of good posts?

over all id say the wrs have been good but weve had a few costly drops.

Idk looks like 2-3 active posters over there. I didnt take a long look though didnt have the stomach for it.

No one ruined or changed marve. He had had 2-3 knee surgeries and then re injured it again. They didnt try and turn marve into a pocket passer at all. mos even talked about how he can make things happen with his legs before several games. He showed flashes in very limited action and then the more he played and as teams had an idea of his style they evaporated. Elliot wasnt this regime of scouts or gm pres etc. Often young mobile qbs breaking into the league resort to runs as its effective and the same as down south. They down have to adapt a lot to running, the bigger field and smaller defenders makes it easier. But as they get used to playing and are more comfortable they go back to passing more. You cant change a pro qb very much. When they get here they have had 3-4 years of starting and being the man in the ncaa at a high level. Plus 2-4 years of starting and being the man in HS which for many of them was huge in terms of pressure and development as well. You can almost never change a qb at the pro level. Their mechanics are what they are, and their mentality as well. Plus teams dont recruit running qbs who have far more raw passing skill and turn them into pocket passers. If you want a pocket passer, you recruit a pocket passer whose dramatically better at that skill set. On top of all that, no one really gives running qbs a big look up here currently. And no one brings up x/y/z pro set pure pocket passers either. Most all of the starters and back ups have a very similar skill set in the cfl. Mobile, able to roll evade some pressure and pick up some yards but passers.
