  1. making things worse, is that his reaction is to step up into the pocket... except there's at least one OL being pushed straight backwards and there's no pocket to step into. The kid needs a break for his physical and mental health. Brohm hasn't had the crap beat out of him for the last 3 months so he's still willing to take the hit to make a play. He's a pocket passer, it's what he's been trained to do for most of his life. You could really say the same thing about rolling out - if the outside rush isn't being contained your chances of getting creamed are just as high. What exactly our OL has been trained to do...seems to be some great mystery
  2. In garbage time. The entire 2nd half. He still looked good, was throwing the ball quickly and for the most part on target. Willy had a real bad problem with bracing for a hit rather than throwing quickly lately, he's shell shocked, for his own good he needs a break. He's bracing for the hits because he's playing with sprained shoulder.
  3. I would add Denmark to the safe list.
  4. When 8 rushers can't get to the QB...the DC can't possibly look good...
  5. C'mon guys, consequences are the problem, they need consequences, there will be consequences
  6. That's cool, you don't have to believe it. He also said he agrees with January, that the protections needs to be better.
  7. Willy said publicly last week that 'he couldn't take anymore hits.' I highly doubt Willy said this. What's your source? He said it 1290 before the Ottawa game...I heard him.

  9. How is it even possible...to blitz for more than half the game and generate hardly any pressure? The front 7 and OL looked dead out there today. Props to the secondary for giving a good effort.
  10. Who is? Most of what I read is posters saying our depth needs to improve.
  11. The jet package vs. the Etcheverry D, that image is good for a chuckle or two
  12. A point about penalties: the last PI call in the BC vs. Ottawa game. At that point the game was out of reach, it wasn't exactly a catchable ball, and all the call did was turn the game into an even bigger rout for BC.
  13. Argos seems to be peaking at the right time
  14. So...it sounds like moving away from 5 day trials was fairly logical
  15. If in the past year you haven't changed or slightly revised an opinion...check your pulse...you may be dead
  16. The crossing routes are a good point. Bryant was effective on a couple of those in Hamilton game. I hope a few more are in the works to slow down the blitz.
  17. There was a recession...the feds chose to run a deficit and keep transfer payments intact. What happened in the 90's wasn't really a recession, it was Paul Martin balancing the federal budget on the backs of the provinces.
  18. Just some facts: Since 2005-2006, federal transfer payments to Manitoba have increased by 641 million. http://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/mtp-eng.asp#Manitoba Going back to 1999, it's about a billion. As a percentage of overall government revenue they have dropped from over 40% to less than 30%. This is consistent with what is happening across the country.
  19. Not a bad article, except for Broadbeck's need to add a little more of his own spin. The MB. PST is pretty consistent with PST rates across the country. If you look at the big picture, governments of all political stripes raise taxes. Mulroney called Harper's GST cut "good politics but bad policy."
  20. I've done that...it isn't funny...
  21. He's afraid to practice against our OL...yep that'd do it...
  22. There were games they could easily have lost early in the season...there have also been games they could've won in the last few weeks.
  23. I'm left shaking my head...the more things change...the more they stay the same.
  24. They fielded a better starting 24...that's progress. When injuries began to happen, it became clear that depth was inadequate...progress still to be made.
  25. As Dave Ritchie put it: 'we won three more games, that's improvement."
