Automatic Medlock Bomber's O let's Tigercats Hang around hopefully

In terms of backing up Heath, Hurl had the best angle to make the play but couldn't get there.

I said all that too. Sometimes hustle is just running around. It is what it is. We have our stars on D at other positions, while for most teams the MLB is the heart of the D. And I would encourage you to watch that play again - cfl.ca has it in the game recap.

I remember him catching a TD pass a few years ago.

A few things: 1. That has to be one of the worst performances by an OL in recent memory. 2. Collaros is similar to Reilly in that he ad - libs plays when he rolls out. He did a lot of that against the Esks but the Bombers controlled him quite well. 3. Hurl is usually where he's supposed to be - but does not seem to make many plays. Eg. The play where Heath's tackle was broken and other guys missed, Hurl followed the receiver all the way to end zone - outstanding.

Probably a PI call if he doesn't catch that. Which could have given all the locked out minions another Harris attempt...

Jake Thomas HH (he's a worker) 1. Andrew Harris (Just because) 2. Chris Randall (#randallisland) 3. Matt Nichols (he's a warrior) Honourable mention: Hardrick / Chungh - some key runs were on their side of the line tonight.

Rock on - I guess

I'm going to emerge from the closet - and predict an Ottawa win.

Hardly anyone hoes potatoes anymore, but they'll pay someone good money to drive a combine.

Fair enough - but I still don't think a practice roster salary should be expected to translate into any kind of loyalty from the players.

That's why I compared to farmers, they usually provide room & board. Without the perks, no one would stay on the practice roster.

That's 18.75 an hour, only 6 to 7 bucks above minimum wage, it's peanuts. Most farmers have seasonal jobs available and they have to pay more than this plus room & board if they want to hire anyone (Just giving a comparison to other seasonal work).

I keep getting the impression that he's a long way from hitting his ceiling. Leadership, confidence & a gun for an arm.

Unless you've got a QB like Calvillo who can throw into tight coverage effectively.

A most excellent 'evening wine' read.

I'm not referring to criticism or negativity. There used to be things like position by position analysis, especially during the Berry era. The sort of thing we get from JBR once in a while.

I do - but there is an element missing that used to exist.

Sorry, but that was painful.

Dare I say, the previous three...

Because most of the media is just not cutting it. For example, I used to look forward to Ed Tait's training camp reports with my coffee during lunch break. Stuff like that is just not happening anymore.

I thought so too - Hurl's stats show 12 starts with less than a dozen defensive tackles - clearly spot duty.

Was Ian Wild not our MLB last season?

They stuck a wet band-aid on a gushing artery...
