Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
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.

What to do about the D?
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.

Bringing the Riders back to earth and their fans back to reality ...
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.

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.

Is it time for Davis...
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?

3 stars + HH banjo beatdown
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.

Als @ Leos
Well that didn't take long.

What to do about the D?
He's #70?

What to do about the D?
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.

Game day roster
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.

Midseason record predictions
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.

what to fix
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.
