  1. But alas, the NFL doesn't work that way. Short yardage isn't like it is up here. We were running the same type of plays 10 years ago the NFL is now. The starter stayed in. We'd also had our qbs hand off to the back 5 yards deep on a search play. Or run a qb sneak up the middle. Very little imagination. There was no specific short yardage units in thr CFL. I believe John Hufnagel was the first CFL coach to run a special short yardage unit.
  2. You're probably right.
  3. No one here hates Streveler. We all want him to do well but the NFL is a different game. I think special teams is more important up here in the CFL than the NFL as they have an extra down to work with on a smaller field. So, the style of play he has just isn't as important in the NFL. Which is why he shone in the Bomber offense last year. He has to learn to make all the throws if he wants any kind of future in the NFL. Taysom Hill is learning that now as QB of the Saints while Brees is out. It doesn't matter now if he can play running back, qb or receiver. It's can he move the ball for 60 minutes running the entire offense? Not just a handful of plays designed for him. Time will tell. Can Streveler play in an NFL offense & be effective moving the ball or is he just a niche qb who comes in on short yardage? I also said that once a player leaves he is a former Bomber to me. He's no longer here & although I'd like to see him do well. I didn't become a Cardinals fan because he plays for them. Nor will I be. So, I look at him as just another NFL rookie trying to do well & keep his job.
  4. In honor of Heinz.... Back in the 70's...
  5. Here's the thing. The Cards aren't doing it because they don't want to. Simple as that. There are so many qbs out there that they don't need to. I think Kingsbury will evaluate the backup position this off season & decide whether he wants to bring in an NFL veteran to play behind Murray next year,
  6. I don't understand why people are even debating this as it is the Head Coach who makes the decision as to who plays where & when. He won't p[ay. Streveler is a marginal NFL backup because of his arm & accuracy. He'll never be a long term NFL starter, if at all. He is a niche qb that is successful in a specific type of offense or running certain types of plays as we saw in 2019. I expect to see him back in the CFL in the next 2-3 seasons.
  7. They all basically run the same thing on the goal line because there's no room to do anything. Hand off 5 yards deep & the back finds the hole or gets tackled for a loss. Or fade into the back of the end zone if they are further out. You guys are actually angry at Kingsbuiry for not putting in Streveler? That's funny. You'll be angry for a long time. Murray is the Cardinals franchise player & he'll play. Bidwell isn't going to say anything as he probably doesn't know anything about Streveler.
  8. Look at how short yardage is run or on the goal line in the NFL, They don't do what we do up here. The starting qb stays in. If a team is on the 1 yard line they'll hand the ball off 5 yards deep hoping the back can search for a hole. Even the Saints used Hill on short yardage but now that he's the starter, the backup qb doesn't come in. When will Kingsbury realize what he has in Streveler & use him? Probably never but the answer is maybe occasionally. As in 2 or 3 times a season. It just isn't the NFL way. Why? Unlike the CFL, head coaches & OC's in the NFL don't want to change things around on short yardage due to a lack of continuity. They're afraid of a mistake like a fumble or a penalty. So, the starters stay in. You'll get old waiting.
  9. Watching Bears QB Mitch Trubisky & wondering how he keeps on playing. He is dreadful. So are his receivers. Carson Wentz may not be the only qb to change address before next season.
  10. Considering how much people bet on football I'm amazed with this decision. Where is the integrity of the game? The Broncos had no chance. I hate Roger Goodell. he doesn't give a **** about the fans. As long as owners can make money.
  11. The Belichek System. That is what wins. Not the coaches & not the qbs who left. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/560751-eric-mangini-10-reasons-the-bill-belichick-coaching-tree-has-struggled
  12. We just do it. These FTA's only benefit more powerful countries. Never been a fan of FTA's. Except we have a Globalist for a PM who doesn't care about our sovereignty.
  13. Now things are just getting stupid in the NFL. All 4 Bronco qbs won't play Sunday. https://www.thescore.com/news/2060348/related
  14. The problem in Philly wasn't getting rid of Foles but not playing Hurts. It made no sense to keep a struggling Wentz in & not seeing what Hurts can do.
  15. How much longer will Doug Peterson last in Philly? Is carson Wentz trade bait. I just can't see Wentz & Peterson in Philly next year. For some reason, Peterson is loathe to play hurts. Wentz keeps blowing games & continues to start.
  16. The reason given is we no longer have any pharmaceutical maufacturing plants in Canada. The Conservatives are blaming Trudeau & demanding he should have had licensing agreements to manufascture the vaccines before they were approved as a backlog to hasten the rollout but the Conservatives are just as much to blame as they brought in NAFTA which hastened the demise of the manufacturing sector including pharmaceuticals in Canada. As well, the erosion continued with every other federal government FTA we became involved with afterwards. We lost our ability to manufacture products we used to make because (for example) we now buy pharmaceuticals from the US, France, China, Mexico. Doesn't matter if we made them in Canada or not. Until now. We need to reestablish the maufacturing sector in Canada. **** the global supply chains.
  17. So, we'll all get vaccinated by next September? Ain't it great?

  19. What can they do? Two weeks from now they could have an outbreak. Someone send him a Winnipeg Jets jersey with his number & name on it.
  20. I actually think that's tragic.
  21. With Ringmaiden leaving & becoming the Lions GM. Hence the "No brainer" comment. I think that is the plan. He wouldn't be GM here unless Walters decides to leave.
  22. They love their current Commander In Chief.
  23. Guess that means Kyle Walters is going nowhere...
