The OL has been fine. I'm not sure a DL touched Nichols last night. The OL is responsible for 4, the QB is responsible for the rest aka get rid of the damn ball and find the hot route if you read 5+. He's not doing a very good job of reading blitzes, Lapo is running a lot of empty backfield and I can only recall a couple plays where they used max protect (7 blocking). That's just inviting trouble with longer developing routes and trying to push downfield. At least they started leaking Harris out to slow down the WIL/SAM blitzes.

There's no chance that could be true unless Lulay has been implanted with robotic parts. Joint damage never heals fully.

A loser coach is a loser coach. Daley has plenty of experience to give us the data to say he's a loser CFL head coach.

? Are you saying he should be starting? If so, take a look at his 2015 season. His shoulder is shot. Montreal looks horribly disorganized in all phases. Decent amount of talent though. Thorpe playing a lot of soft zone, like second and eight and the first level of zone is at 11 yards.

It's hard to compare because the kickoff from the 25 has become punitive enough for teams to all but abandon the strategy except for exceptional wind situations. The ones that got me back in the day (like 5 years ago) was when a kicker would take the snap inside the 10, turn and run back to the end zone to concede. I think if I were coaching and I had that little confidence in my kicker, cover team and defence I'd just fire myself.

There's fumbling, there's a bad snap, there's penalties that could take you back. Middle of the field 42 yards is like 95% chance to win with Medlock, and even if there's a screwup on the snap or hold you still have a shot to keep possession.

Not many saviours left. Jonestown looking more like the 2013 Bombers than the 2015 Eskimos.

If they are going to likely score anyway, why give them 2 free points? Not that hard to understand.

I don't know. I think that was tempting fate a touch. I mean Medlock from 42 sounds like a good proposition to me. If he hit it badly enough to miss from there straightaway he'd pretty much miss that kick from any distance with his leg. That's an extremely routine kick for him.

There's some creativity involved, but for the most part a KR is like a RB. If he doesn't run to where the blocking is setting up most of the time he isn't going to be very effective, especially when the other team knows that he's always going wide.

I'm not a huge fan of Lankford. He doesn't seem to have much of an idea of how to gain yards north-south. All he does is test the contain of the coverage team which basically results in him running 100 yards for a 10 yard return. I'm sure O'Shea was pretty perturbed with Lankford taking the one kickoff wide to the field when clearly the blocking was heading to the boundary. Luckily he barely got the corner and didn't take a loss. Best thing I can say about him is that he catches punts and secures the ball. McDuffie was always a bit of an adventure on punts. I prefer Fogg to all of them.

Yes. All Medlock had to do was kick it through the endzone. Also doubt you'd see "prevent" when the ball starts at the 35.

Burke.

Thinking Backstrom?

Have we even won 10 times in Regina in the last 30 years? I don't give a **** who they put on the field, winning there is a big win.

Adidas logo was as big as the Rider logo on the shirt Jones was wearing. They actually have spotters from the sponsor companies, clothing, sports drinks and otherwise who inspect the teams and their sidelines prior and during the game to make sure they are complying with agreements.

That's insane. Trying to appease Ovechkin? Just an insane deal for a relatively inconsistent player.

What if you give up 2 and the other team starts on your side of the field anyway? It's pretty likely kicking off from your own 25. I'd rather give up 7 than 9. That's all. Sometimes the other team scores and you have a chance to get it back and reset field position too. Giving up the safety is just unnecessary in moderate conditions.

Kickoff comes from their own 25. Good kickoff means return starts at the 20-25. Kickoff returns average around 20 yards. Only way you're pinning them on their own 20 is if the returner flubs it. Otherwise you're looking at the offence coming on at their own 45 if coverage is good.

2 points isn't worth 15-20 yards with the other team still having the ball. You're still likely to cost yourself more points.

Give up 2 and they likely start between their own 45 and midfield. Giving up safeties isn't smart anymore unless there's a big wind.

Why would they spy Glenn? You shouldn't need more than the DL to manage Glenn's running. I'm a little concerned that between Loffler and Leggett they've adopted a playmaker mentality and they've kind of slacked on doing their duty down after down. Noticed it toward the end of last season too. They can do some spectacular things though. Loffler isn't really playing as a traditional safety. He's more playing up in the box like a WIL. Leggett plays quite a bit of safety but likes to roam into the box too. Our D is doing a little too much chasing and not enough coming downhill at the ball/guys with the ball.

Felt the opposite about the offense. They needed to control the clock and kept pushing dangerously downfield with the pass, ineffectively too. Get a run game going so we don't have to even get that game near OT. 4th quarter should have been a hell of a lot easier.

We need better play in coverage at the top of routes, from our three guys that tend to be dropping into deep halves, Loffler, Leggett, Wild. I felt that both of our halfbacks had very little support in the middle of the field and behind them when we played man.

They were moving the launch point. Just looked different because the camera angle was like 30 degrees to the line of scrimmage. They started doing a lot of quarter rolls when the Riders started sending a lot of pressure right up the middle.
