Grigsby does have great speed when running in a straight line...
His blocking has improved...
The lack of being able to snake between players is disappointing.
I'd like to see a full game of Cotton and maybe see how other guys do.
Well the Riders will get a very easy win, they may as well treat it like an exhibition game and rest the main guys.
Montreal has no passion at all on O and are not even close to turning the corner.
They are approaching Burke levels of sadness.
Didn't Higgins say that Smith had his best half of football last game? The comment that left the broadcast booth completely puzzled?
I don't know why Marsh isn't given a shot? While also wild he at least gives them a fighting chance.
I just wanna say did anyone see the sack on Glenn where he faced pressure and then turtled up on the ground before anyone touched him? It looked hilarious.
Matt Dunigan is making this game quite enjoyable with his sound effects and honesty. He's hilarious! Montreal hasn't scored since... Playing Winnipeg not sure if this should bother us that Smith could push the ball against us and be so enemic against other teams
Wow why the f did Higgins kick that field goal? They are down by 16 and if they scored a TD they could of on side kicked it with 3 plus minutes?
This is Tim Burke school of coaching
I disagree... Reid was pretty useless as well. On OB.com I harped on him for being able to only get 1 big gain per game and a whole lot of fall down after getting touched for 2 - 3 yard gains. I remember posting his stats where outside of his one big game against BC... if you took away his one big run per game he would average something tiny like 2.8 yards per carry..... I'm getting the same feeling with Grigsby.
Now I know the o line isn't giving him a whole lot of room and maybe MB should be calling for more sweeps or anything that will get him outside..... it just seems that when he does have a chance to make a move he usually makes the wrong move or he's one on one with a tackler and instantly falls down.
I'm not a huge Messam fan but clearly tonight he showed that he can at least break a few tackles.... so he *would* of been an upgrade to a certain extent.
As disappointed as I am.... I do sit back and realize that Willy has only a fraction of the starts that Durant has and yet still managed to move the ball much better all behind an inferior o line and an invisible rb.
We get a few more pieces (quality o line man and anyone running aside from Fred Reid clone Grigsby) and we win that game easily.
Things look good....
