The only "athlete" eating Subway is Jake Maier.

Man Dalke is dirty.

Sask special teams killing them with penalties

Wonder why Edmonton wouldn't take the ball on the 1 and go for the 2 point conversion to make it a 9 point lead.

Think Ealy getting tossed.

How Sask can't scheme up a run game with those two backs and even a gadget-y guy like Alford is beyond me. If they are so short receivers why isn't Alford out there?

I haven't found it that hard to coach. For linemen they just have to reestablish position. For the most part if they lose and they try to recover they'd be clipping someone anyways (blocking from behind). If it's a run and they get beat upfield they can run interference on the DL now pursuing the back who is going upfield, but they can't just level the guy running upfield. Be a speed bump basically and re-engage at that point chest to chest, not shoulder to chest (of course not head) or shoulder to shoulder. Yeah you can't tee a guy up on a counter or something going against the flow. But if you just rub a guy out of the play it won't be called. It's the 'hit' aspect that gets flagged. If you're there and the guy would have to run through you that's not a flag.

Not fast at all.

The line of scrimmage doesn't matter for that rule, it's just the action of moving backward toward your own endzone and throwing a block. Could happen on either side of the line of scrimmage or a kick play.

It's illegal to block downfield at all before the pass is caught if it's over the LOS. That was the point of the earlier discussion. Bailey for sure makes the block before the catch and McCrae is only about a toe behind the LOS when he catches it.

Dickenson was before Burris was a starter there too. Burris did start there as a third stringer before he signed with Sask.

That's who Grant can sub in for 23 snaps. If Wolitarsky went down, BOLO takes that spot and Grant can sub in for him in that case.

A whole YAC receiving crew. Need to make tackles. Allen is built like a running back.

Right. Good stats are impossible to find!

I'm finding it kind of hard to believe the Ceresna hit did it. Adams is full speed lead blocking on the Redblacks last TD in that game. Delayed effect? Most people I've seen tear their ACL can hardly move because their knee is so unstable. Saw Gene Gaines passed away. Great player and great coach for like 40 years in the CFL. 7-8 years with Bombers in different eras. Late 80s-90 Grey Cup teams leading those secondaries and back with Ritchie.

On the Bailey penalty...pass is still behind LOS, McCrae about level with line judge who's marking that. Issue is Bailey peels back from about the 3 to the 6 and throws the heavy block at the back left shoulder of 37. Yeah I guess you might get a reputation from tuning guys up like that, but even if you just stay shoulder to shoulder and take the swing out it's probably not flagged and you get to keep the play.

Bombers are tied with Argos for lead in touchdowns scored (Argos have had a bye already). Oliviera leading league in yards from scrimmage by like 100 yards over Schoen. Only guys close in yards per game are Mills from Calgary and Tuggle from Ottawa. Bombers (19), Argos (19), Ticats (6 LOL), Elks (6 LOL) haven't missed a field goal or PAT. Thus far the placekickers with the lowest percentage are Paredes and Lauther.

Gotta track it yourself or hope someone like DT does.

I was thinking watching that game that Adams looked pretty damn frail to be a option style QB in this league.

Can't throw a block peeling back toward your own endzone, even on special teams. Easy call and they'll call it 100% of the time. If he just takes up space there and doesn't throw the block it's fine.

Coaching and continuity. Some of those power plays they run off their base concepts aren't possible if you're bringing in a new guy every week like some places are out of necessity of injury or poor play. Guys have to read the same thing to pull those inside trap blocks effectively.

See the Bombers running a lot of wide and inside zone. McCrae's big run this past week a good example of wide zone. Whole line moving left, Bryant washes his guy wide which sets the edge, decent play by the defender but since the line gets driven back by the interior into the backers there's no one behind to make the play when McCrae cuts vertical. BOLO comes with Jet motion likely to seal that backside edge if Montreal crashes, but the end shifts pre-snap inside, basically head up on Hardrick at the snap (who is drive blocking left right through the end) and the SAM is just waiting so they leave him. For added blocking they have Bailey motion and come right through the interior of the line. Helped that 44 on Montreal ran out wide and took himself out of the play too, then he has a wall of his own teammates and Bombers between him and the gap McCrae hits. I feel like Bailey is kind of freelancing on the run blocking side on plays where he doesn't have a defined assignment like cracking an end and the coaches trust him to do that.

In zone you usually leave the backside end unblocked by the OL so it’s generally 5 on 3 or even 5 on 2 at the line. That’s where that split block going counter the line or a receiver cracking on the end on the backside comes in if it’s not a read play. It’s doubles across the line driving with the flow of the play to catch other defenders downfield. It’s why DC’s like Hall love the bear front so much because it forces big on big blocks vs the run but pulls linebackers up into the line which is risky vs the pass and also forces your SAM and DBs to make tackles. In what I’m scheming up for my guys we love seeing the bear front because if everyone play side even just turns their block off the gap off guard or off tackle we probably have 8 yards for our back before he gets touched. Much harder to block through that flow to the ball if the backers are off the line.

The entire run scheme of football right now is double at the line and work up to a linebacker.
