Eternal optimist

And there is the Legghio that shows up when it matters.

Heres to a double loss 

The same argument could be made for going for the pick... Look what almost happened to CAL last week in SSK.

For the sake of this forum i hope we win tomorrow. A loss heading into the bye and things start rolling the wrong way...

Hopefully Haba isn't too dinged. Really like having him in that DE rotation...

He's also money right up thru the safety down the middle of the field for deep and intermediate shots....I bet we see a total different look to the offence now he back...U have to remember we prob had a huge install of plays based on him out there, and it's had to been shelved...till now....

It's my new euphemism replacing 'pocket pool'

Also, the ordinary person can't judge weight because we have no concept of the muscle on these guys, which of course weighs more than the fat on us tubby ******* ...

A few times a year people talk about biggie having lost a step or not seeing the game impact they expect from him. 
 Some one mentioned in the gdt that it felt like a game biggie wasn’t making plays in but would be the type of game they would be convinced was a good game from him. 
 So I decided to do a bit of a deep dive on his performance. 
From my perspective his role is very different than in bc with out eliminian or when he came here at first. But very similar to with eliminian but with our having that guy beside him. 
 
 Calgary gained 33 yards on 7 plays where biggie made the stop for 4.71 yards tackle depth on average. They made 2 first downs on his stops, and 3 stops lead directly to punts. 
On biggies defensive stops the stamps would expect to gain 61.9 yards but they gained 33 yards. Which means biggies defensive stops prevented an expected 28.9 yards. For a -4.12 expected yards per play where biggie made a stop. 
 
By the eye test these numbers are what you would want to see. Your mlber making stops with in the first 5 yards, and their stops being much shorter than the offensive goal. Biggie also covers more ground than any mlber in the cfl and does more in pass pro than half the safeties.  So for him to be routinely making stops at such a depth is really really good. 
I’m going to use awes stats to compare.
Awes average depth of tackle was 6.5 yards. His stops lead to 2 punts, but both where on 2nd and longs of more than 10 yards and we made 3 first downs on his stops. 
On Brady’s runs we gained 42 yards with an expected gain of 42.4. Sheed is averaging 6.3 ypc this year and got +14.7. Prukop is averaging 2.2 but had 3.9 in 22 so credit him with 1.9. 
 That means the bombers put up 12.4 more yards than expected when awe made the stop or +1.24 yards per tackle. 
Tldr

If I have time this week I’ll go back and track the plays and post tackle, and blitz efficiency numbers.
