Should be the highlight of the night but almost nobody actually understands it.

Wasn't a shank. The Bombers return team just sold it that the punt went across the field and were setting up the return that way while Leggett ran back and grabbed the ball on the opposite sideline and ran past the two Riders that actually tracked the ball.

Was a Bomber trick play.

Even a bunch of the guys blocking sold it.

Ya it was crazy. TSN had no idea what was happening. Even after a couple replays. Crazy how well that play works given that the cover guys basically know where the ball is supposed to be kicked. They just run blindly at the returner. We better be prepared for someone to try that on us.

Check their schedule...tons of games against the East.

Injury spotter pulls Reilly from game because of helmet to helmet hit that refs didn't call. What a joke. Why can't they make the call if they see it on review?

Even after spotting 10 decibels to the Moose at kickoff.

I hope Walker starts using his arms to tackle. Not sold on him at all.

3.5 wins up on the Riders with 7 for us to play and 8 for them. Control our own destiny in season series with all West teams but would need to blow out Stamps.

At least steady with moving the ball and maintaining field position. I'm not too sure about long stretches relying on his arm with almost no runs, misdirection or playaction over the long haul.

Not sure that makes a difference. Need both.

Well that didn't take long.

He's #70?

Couture actually plays quite a bit, they run a fair amount of tight end sets with him. I honestly think if they went 6 OL on the roster for games Neufeld wouldn't dress, he really only comes in for jumbo sets. IMO this roster is a little heavy on guys that can't or aren't given the opportunity to contribute outside of special teams. Five by my count, six if you include Lankford, seven with the backup imp LB that hasn't really factored in yet. That's a lot. I think you might be overestimating Conteh a bit though. Project IMO. He's always kind of a been a "once he figures out football" kinda kid who is a great athlete but not necessarily a football player.

Lankford better break out soon. I feel like at receiver we could probably get by with a NI replacing him and use that import spot elsewhere, keeping in mind that Flanders takes the majority of reps in that spot and Lankford is basically a backup. Personally don't give a **** about a kickoff return specialist because if O and D the playing well we shouldn't be returning many kickoffs.

More likely they swap him in for an end.

12-6. Still have 3 against the East, BC at home twice, Sask at home, Calgary and Edmonton on the road. Should be able to win 5 of those.

That's not the rules that's a fan article on a website. Teams declare a number of NIs on each side of the ball and must maintain that as minimum, but it has nothing to do with positions. If Loffler went out we could go all import in the secondary and replace the NI spot anywhere on D if we were starting 7 NIs. The only positions that are declared are DIs, who can only sub in balance of the ratio and QBs.

Nobody is declared but the QB's and DI's. See if you can figure out how it works from there.

Nope. You have a backup import on your roster who isn't declared as a DI who can sub in for anyone as long as your declared ratio numbers on that side of the ball are fulfilled.

Pretty simple. You have that time between the end of one play and refs whistling in play on the next one to take a knee if you need medical attention/substitution. If a guy takes a knee once play is whistled in (the Bombers were over the ball when 2 of the 3 "injuries" after play whistled in occurred) or needs out a team timeout should be used/charged. No timeout, delay of game penalty. NFL does this after the two minute warning each half, actually more severely because no matter when the player goes down the team is charged timeout/penalty. It is extremely rare for a player to go down that late when it is not on purpose.

Well everyone in the front is in responsible for a gap but the "LB's" need to read run vs pass and pick in their zone/man too. The whole D does that and that's where guys like Heath and Randle have been getting burned worrying about coming up to run support/keep contain. Our MLB blitzes often but is also often in man coverage and zone coverage. When a DL drops out they usually are just dropping to a spot. I've only seen longer highlight tapes of Mulumba from his junior and senior year at EMU but vast majority of plays on those tapes (YouTube) he's in a 3 or 4 point rush stance and coming up field. If we have any DL I'd have some confidence in to move to LB it's Jeffcoat.

Thomas wasn't anywhere near 80% of snaps. Closer to half. Jeffcoat and Okpalaugo took more reps. Only guy who played almost every down was Nevis, only came out for one package on 2nd and extremes plus one entire series where they went 4 DE's. They are all playing bad. Maybe Westerman needs to take a couple 15s to get his mojo back.

A guy who has never played off the line of scrimmage at a higher level is going to have a hell of a time with reads and footwork off of it IMO, in a league where 75-80% of the plays are passing. It would be a project. Why don't we put Westerman at MLB?
