yeah cause he's getting hammered like he was here. How come people are so willing to put it all on the qb when the team around him clearly has a ton of issues?

Ray made that OL look bad too, so did Killgore, maybe, just maybe the argos OL sucks too? I mean they got no push on 3rd and short all game. I know it's popular around here to keep shitting on Willy but the guy is getting no time at all.

League should come down hard on them. The TSN monies are a big reason the league is doing well so don't ******* piss them off.

No Eakins did break Yakupov, he broke a bunch of other guys on that team too, only one who didn't see the production fall off a cliff was Hall and a big part of that is because Hall is just a give me the puck and I'll do it all myself if I have to guy anyway. Look the problem with Yakupov wasn't that he was poor defensively or that he didn't work, the problem was he wasn't putting up enough points. Eakins didn't give him a chance though, he stuck him with Boyd Gordon and said produce, well no one does that and then when he made a mistake defensively as young players are known to do he got stapled to the bench. It took a mentally fragile player and made him afraid to do what made him effective offensively. The situation became one where Yakupov felt singled out by the Oilers and he felt he couldn't win so he wanted out. He didn't handle it well but he was treated poorly be Eakins and it made the player less than what he could have been. Not everyone needs the tough love approach. The other thing to consider is that Yakupov had some offensive production with guys like Gagner or Roy or obviously McDavid as his centres but sucked with the Boyd Gordons or Mark Letestus of the world who he often got stuck with in the bottom 6. So he needed to produce to move up but couldn't do that with offensively inept line mates. Hard situation. Moving on is the best situation for him because he wasn't going to get the chances he wanted or needed in Edmonton and Edmonton can fill those bottom 6 roles with actual bottom 6 type players.

It's misdirection. Gonna air it out all day

I honestly think that Jennings is such a gun slinger there will be chances for turn overs. Just gotta have the offense going cause he's probably going to make some plays as well. Keep up and win when the mistake happens. That's what they did on the streak, need to do it now

ITT druggies defending druggies

Eakins took the guy who should have been rookie of the year (tied for most points by a rookie and most goals by a rookie) and crushed his confidence to the point he was afraid to do what made him the player he was. Yak is a guy who needs that confidence to succeed and Eakins ruined him. I don't know if he can bounce back or not but at a key point in his career he got a coach that was 100% wrong for him.

The worst part is that the scouts wanted to draft a D that year and the owner over ruled them saying they had to take Yakupov

Go go Riders. Win those meaningless games and play spoiler.

Yak is a good kid. **** Dallas Eakins for destroying him

Did he say there was no force on this earth that could get him into that movie?

You know what, **** it, if I'm going out I'm going out with a Bomber. Andrew Harris.

hey if they're putting him in on a days practise he's not going to know the playbook, it'll be dumbed down for him and he won't have to think that hard.

if you're getting a guy in on short notice he's not going to have to know the whole play book, they'll let him do simple things, such as be the tall guy running deep winning one on one matchups.

how hard does it have to be for Gurley? Just say "you're tall, go run down the sidelines and we'll put the ball up for you to go win."

I dunno how good Laine is at the rest of the game, but when the play was in the offensive zone you always noticed him, especially on the PP. Guy just understands how to make offense work and he's going to put up a lot of points in his career just because of it. McDavid is just stupid, not only is he the fastest guy on the ice but he doesn't look like he's working hard to be the fastest guy on the ice either. Honestly the lineup the Jets sent deserved to get beaten badly and they were. Oilers had a much better group on the ice for the home fans.

not only tall but at 230 he's a big boy. should be helpful with all the smurfs we have already

I said that while I was watching the Edmonton game! The guy should know that if he is wearing a streaking beard it's gotta go when the streak ends.

I made a post on reddit about Jurassic world 2 and I hope to god the studio just trolls everyone and makes the entire thing a legal drama dealing with all the law suits resulting from the events of Jurassic World and they never once show a dinosaur or have any action sequences. That would just make me the happiest because we don't need another dinosaurs eat everyone at a park movie.

That and stop killing the game with too many penalties and replays. But you're absolutely right. Tickets are getting too expensive. It's like 35 bucks to sit in the crappiest seats in McMahon and I'm not saying 35 bucks is a ton of money but it's getting out of that affordable family fun range. CFL has always been about accessibility and the pricing is getting away from that.

serves me right for picking a Bomber last week, I'll think about the matchups and make a pick later.

I finished watching it yesterday and I enjoyed it but it fell off in the last couple of episodes I thought. Won't spoil anything but just lost some of it's appeal based on where they went with the story in my opinion. Still liked it more than Daredevil, but again the 2nd season of that started out really well and fell off after the punisher stuff became a secondary focus. Jessica Jones probably still my favourite one they did on Netflix and that's probably purely based on the villain.

Guess Lapo will have to call a vanilla game plan so no one steals his play book.... oh wait a minute....
