Maybe. There's a subtle difference and the rules in rugby are way more strict. I was shocked. I took up rugby about 5 years after I finished up with football and there's a degree of "if you can tackle, you can tackle" as my buddy who recruited me said but he instincts are different. You actually need to tackle and with great form, you can't pop a guy and you can't drag him down by his ankles either. Say this for sure, the amount of contact in any rugby practice I've been in pales in comparison to the amount in any football practice I was in, different era albeit. Rugby is absolutely the more physical game in totality. There's a crew of high school football coaches who think they are Vince Lombardi and still torture kids in practice but aside from a little live tackling and scrimmage there should be no full contact.

Their coverage is already better than WCB. What they need is better disability insurance.

It's window dressing. The reality is that nobody who wants to win practices with contact already anyway once the season starts. Think of how many guys barely practice at all during the season, "maintenance" days. There's a way to prepare during the week focusing on the mental side of the game and preparing the body physically that doesn't involve contact until the lights are on.

Brian Tyms cut by Hamilton. Pretty dominant at times late last season, bigger target.

I think it's a good rule. If you have position you can make contact, if you don't why should you be allowed to get bailed out by interfering with the guy who has won position?

It's in the team stats report the CFL puts out weekly, average kickoff distance and return averages for Bombers and their opponents. I can't find the updated Bomber specific one only the league stats. Search CFL team stats and it usually comes up.

Or if they are stupid teenagers.

Argos have tons of DL. The only teams I could really see being interested in Okpalaugo are the Lions, Ticats and maybe Als, but everyone is going to have issues with his salary.

Ricky Collins is a TiCat. And we already have more import receivers than we can dress, guys we actually want to dress. I'd take a draft pick or a linebacker maybe and not much else for the current roster.

Because our average starting field position on kickoffs is lower than average. This is based on where kickoffs are placed. Teams kick short to Finch, Rainey, even Logan. No fear of Lankford they just let fly and let him run them out of bounds at the 30.

That's the scheme. There is no safety in most coverages, all the DB's have individual responsibilities and there is rarely support over top. Partially I think that scheme is designed for Loffler who is basically a linebacker and not so good at covering ground deep, better coming towards the LOS. They aren't running much traditional zone, cover 2 or 3 or quarters this season. That means one guy making a mistake is a big team mistake.

BLM playing more like a BM.

They haven't watched enough Redblack games. They are always the 2nd best team.

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.
