Booch

that was a classic duck and chuck because of the pressure in his face....should never have put that ball up

as the season goes...he will find the range on his deep balls...

yeah he was their best player...and most professional. I said right from the get go that he would fade...and the first few games where he was hitting those deep shots was more catching teams off guard as teams didn't think he could make a deep ball...and if you go back and watch that pretty much everyone was a matter of a ball hanging up there and the receiver having to stop...or come back for it...DB's usually were in trail and not a position to make a play....but once teams caught on..it would basically disappear...which it has

Lucky tho has basically caught everything thrown at him...and has averaged 8.4 yards a carry on his runs....not like he isn't doing anyhting...and he draws attention from others...

hey...we went into these games minus Nichols for EDM...And Harris for the 2 rider games and everyone thought we were screwed...and yet rally we should have been 3-0 in that stretch

no....but the way we beat them...with 8 regulars missing..and they were "supposedly" the number one ranked...which I didn;t agree with based on their schedule...and barely beating us in LDC with our depleted lineup.

Hansen won't effect any dline decisions I wouldn't think..he doesn't hurt us out there by any means...but you don't mess with success...and I would say we have the best dline in the league

Right now we have Gray..Desjarlais..Speller..Couture and Eli as nationals...save for Eli all have started games and are all young...Couture and Speller are 25..Gray 24 and Eli 23...could be set for years on the interior...Even Neufeld is only 30...not old for an olineman by any means

plus he just turned 22 this year...guys still a kid!

Lucky brings more than Nelson I think...I also think Lapo hasn't quite figured out what to do with him yet....and he truly is one of the only few guys in the league who is a threat to take it to the house from anywhere...right now teams swarm him, so once we get other guys doing more...things will be more open for him....he also takes a lot of focus from defenses..especially with fakes to him which allows us to make big plays.

Jeffcoat and Alexander when healthy are a lock to be back in the starting defense. A starting D-line of Jefferson, Nevis, Richardson and Jeffcoat with Roh, Kongbo and Jake rotating in will be just dominating Rios as the extra DB will make us very strong there as well, though how we use the DI's will be interesting when we have Lucky healthy, and you can't take Grant out, and even with all Lucky brings I think Bailey brings more as a pure receiver even though when thrown to, Lucky has pretty much caught everything save for may a drop or 2...though I can't recall cringing about any drops. Possibly we roll with Grant and Bailey as a DI with Medlock and Roh and go with Jones, Exume, Hallet and Wright as extra DB's...we have done that quite a few games so it's not unthinkable The thought though of after break getting back Harris..Jeffcoat..Alexander..Speller...hopefully Neufeld eventually Nichols and game time to get up to speed is a pretty comforting thought..especially now seeing as our depth guys and back-ups have got a lot of valuable playing time, so if an injury occurs late in year, or in play-offs guys are gonna be able to slot right in with basically next to no drop off...and lots of familiarity with the other starters

Lavoie too is a real game changer when in for his 7-10 snaps a game

I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out who the stud National DT they are missing is...is it 4 tackle and 1 sack Evan's???...or the 15 tackle 1 sack Evans of a year ago??? for 200k per year

Ooops lol

Sask cant handle Strev so why would you not start him..and he would have had several more games to develop by then..I can see another pummeling in their barn

Yeah..in 2 games with our backups we have rushed for 341 yards versus their great run defence...shows you what they are when they play a good team Cgy to put 130 yards on them..that defence are total pretenders yet act like they are dominant...fools....

The beauty of it all...when we come back from bye week we will still be in first and up a win on either CGY or sask..and my bet it is cgy

Wouldn't say he is less athletic at all..I believe most of his measurable are better for the most part

Yeah Dunnigans color of the game on rewatch today was good..and Black actually didnt annoy the hell outta me

I see realistically 4 wins there...possibly 5..

Betts I think was a bit over hyped..but we will see..but he doeant have the same tool box Kongbo has..or the potential. Have to remember that Kongbo is still learning the Canadian game..and fresh off of ACL rebuild...he will be even more impressive next yr 2 years removed from surgery..speaking from experience btw What I meant tho on he wont be much help to them is that de is not an issue for them..Dline in general isnt so even if he rotates in for Boateng..its insignificant really

Lol...oops.. I sure u all know I meant does

Yeah he took it from the flag guy..marched with it and drove it in ground...was best thing I seen all year

He's progressing each game..a lot of times this game he set his platform.. threw a solid strike...as he gets more reps..sees more things.. he will set more. He gets antsy at times..and too eager and short arms it and doesnt let the play fully develop...with time and reps..like all QBs say it will slow down and he will hang in there and make the strikes.. But that running..man what a beast..and once he gets more established he wont have to run as much..but when he dies..lookout! The thing with him tho..a warrior leader and his play pumps up everyone else around him and they elevate their play..he is showing now he is a keeper

Yeah I saw that..was classic...but I guess it was okay when Fat Nate Davis did it to us here tho lol
