The big plays are nice. If we get first downs and score points I could care less about how they happen or how many plays it takes. Most teams are dropping 3-4 DB's into deep zones every play. Those deep shots are pretty risky and ending up in 2nd and long is a bad outcome. I don't believe Nichols is shy to take the shot when his reads take him there.

I wouldn't. There's 3 NIs taking regular reps on the DL. Don't really have a use for a DI there.

One game.

I agree with you. Something is wrong with the sound on those features. Also liked Lapo's better because he'd go over something in the current game.

BC looks really discombobulated. I wouldn't read too much into either game of this back to back.

The key is first down production, good first down play calls and execution. I like that we are running frequently enough to make other teams respect it, I like that the screen game is being featured, this is important because Nichols is not a quick release guy, most of the screens allowing our OL to tee off and our YAC guys to get loose, I like that we are running much less empty backfield than the first few weeks of the season and also split backs which holds the opposing SAM and WIL eyes to the backfield leaving more space for our receivers to work in the mid range game. Seems to me that avoiding the big turnovers against is key. Our two losses featured major turnovers that directly led to points. As long as they avoid those and produce steadily they have a great chance to win any game.

Bomben is one of the most athletic OL you'll ever see. He played legit tight end in CIS and for Montreal.

When you're pulling guys like that from 3rd tier arena ball you know you're in trouble. How was there no flag on Adams catch? All Unamba did was attach himself like a parasite into him.

He's pretty good at blitzing, but he's not a defensive end so we need him to be able to cover and tackle in the open field.

It doesn't matter. That's reality. The only guy who plays every down in the front seven is Leggett.

Dave Mudge? He was brutal from 2005 on, as a Bomber and Alouette.

I'm not sure Johnson had a job to lose. Sounds like he was beat out and the injury gave him a chance to stick around.

Saw her Vegas show and she was almost robotic. It was kind of sad, really enjoyed her shows years ago. I've seen some great interviews with her recently and she' s been through a lot even recently.

I want to see big plays that aren't aided by shitty and illegal blocks.

Why the hell are guys so eager to leave their feet in the open field these days? Ellingson is lucky his leg below the knee is still attached.

Elite possession protector with no fear, which is a huge step from where he was when the Bombers acquired him. He doesn't have the skill of Mitchell, Reilly, Jennings. He can beat them by playing smart. When he tries to go toe to toe with those guys it ends badly, see the Calgary game. Needs to be a hell of a lot more consistent before this conversation can even happen. The stretches of games where they can't even get first downs let alone score just can't happen. Looked better last week.

McDroppy

McSucky.

But he went to Oklahoma. He's gotta be better than some CIS dud.

Should start calling players for Obj conduct who can't keep their helmets on. Tighten up your chinstrap.

Getting outcoached every week. Huge factor in 1-5-1.

McDuffie did as much as our return men to help us pull that one out with some brutal decisions. What a bonehead!

That game was a rout. Challenges/reviews would have had zero impact on that. Wait until a 20-17 game where there's a blatant missed call on the drive that would have turned the outcome.

Or inevitably let Fajardo take over.

The best system IMO is the NCAA one which relies on the booth to initiate reviews with coaches given minimal challenges. I'd like to see the CFL move to that. They don't call down to the field every five plays, but it gives the league a mechanism to get it right even if it isn't a scoring play or turnover. Also I forgot to add my time limit which is 60 seconds to review and 90 total to have a decision to the field otherwise call on the field stands.
