I mean the whole US scouting team led by Danny

We brought in no QBs (although I am glad we got one from Calgary), and a smattering of everything else. But no newbie has impressed me so far.... do you see any of our International rookies making an impact this year? How helpful has McManus been to us so far?

If you're leading with your head it isn't a form tackle. If he wrapped up around his head, I'd hate to see it called, but he led with his helmet and that needs to be penalized (both to discourage idiots from leading with their helmets for their own protection and for the players they are hitting with their helmets) and probably answered on the Bombers end. Just a quick question, and I ask this because when I look at an A&P book the head is normally at the top of the body: If you are aiming to hit your opponent in the midsection/hips area and you are running at full speed, how can you not lead with your head? Your body isn't static heading into a tackle. Google form tackling. A tackle is a stick and a wrap, not launching your helmet into somebody. Upper body should make first contact and the rest follows through with the arms wrapping. Head should be back and turned. Obviously there will be contact with helmets but it shouldn't be the first and/or only point of contact. It's probably more dangerous for the tackler who launches head first, see Shea Emry and the scrambled eggs he has in his cranium. Interesting. Thanks for that info. On a related note, I just watched the replay in stop action and it appears to me that the Hamilton player does not leave his feet until contact. So I think that saying "he launched himself" is a bit inaccurate. It really does appear that this was simply a matter of two players moving in just the right directions and at just the right moment that their heads collided. I get that people are ticked, but I really can't fault the TigerCat. Just plain old bad luck. Lord knows, we should be good at dealing with that. Their heads collided is the part that matters. Nothing else. Heads colliding = penalty in the CFL. I don't fault the TiCat, I fault the refs for blowing the call. "I don't fault the TiCat" then you are more blind than zebra who has ever lived ... he was out to destroy Willy

Wrong ... he was out to kill him, maim him Knock him out of the game When a back or receiver is in the clutches of a defender they never come in hard like that .... they know its a career ender for the back if

Totally agree. What the **** were the refs looking at? There should be a suspension and fine. The ref should also be fined for missing the call. The coach should be giving permission to the oline to go after any player that cheap shots our qb. Time to start sending a message to other teams that this **** won't go unpunished. I hope Walters has sent the film to the commish What I don't understand is how the Bomber hogs let that cheap shot artist live They have been hired to protect the QB

One pass rusher holds Willy while another goes straight at him full force leading with his helmut. If that is not intent to injure then I have never seen it in 50+ years of watching football. In hockey the punishment would be severe for that... part or all of a season. The Zebra's yawned .... ever hear of spearing, hit-to-the- head, or even UNNECESSARY roughness? Ever hear of an unwritten players code-of-conduct? The League has to go past fining players for intent to injure. They need to suspend players for multiple games. Suspend Tom Brady for 4 games for football deflation. What does this rate?

could one of the mods merge this thread with july 2 thread please

How are we going to adjust our pass rush tonight? The key I think is to keep Colloras in the pocket instead of improvising after the pocket collapses. The run I think we can handle - - at least with Leggett back there we are not going to be giving up as many 25+ yard plays - they will be held to 10-15 yards

Whoa buddy....I think this pic. was intended for the ladies on match.com......no? Does this mean the game is won or lost on the pre-game measure regardless of the following play?

Whoa buddy....I think this pic. was intended for the ladies on match.com......no? I don't think he has any trade value now. Good depth guy to have if Walters can manage it under the cap. Everybody is under rating Neufeld now .... besides how many line,men are playing all 18 games?

Did Burnertt get cut or moved to reserve 4? Who will be our reserve import DL sitting with Tyler?

Is the RB coach (uncle Buck) having an unfluence on Willy .... abort ! tacklers coming ... slide!

You mean we can't measure the win in inches?

Veltung, Marshall, Shell and one of the DL. Tyler and a NI will sit, probably Brown or Morgan. Both the DL - 8 Canadians means 5 backup Americans If we are using two DI DL it means we must be serious about getting some pressure on the QB ... should help with fresh legs in the 2nd half too

Neufeld at Safety. Didn't see that coming. We need a BIG hitter back at safety, Neufeld should be big enough

I was thinking thye reffing in the NFL is much more protective ... flags on anything close and not much discretion that the CFL officials seem to take ... that might be a lack of league instruction to the crews

Could Dave Semenko play fullback for us?

Are these Tears or a QB rating service?

McCullum new QB in Regina?

To me Hurl looked lost .... continously in the wrong place

"and Demetrius Wright back there was terrible" ... I am glad management seems a little more proactive in getting rid of duds and mistakes of the past

Were there any late June cuts from around the league that could play HB for us?

Does the NFL do anything we don't to lower the injury rate on their QB's Do our rules go far enough?

Not even close..what a terrible comparison I think the comparison predictive .... MOS might be cross eyed over Hurl .... Thursdasy will be revealing for Hurl's skill level

Looks like they upgraded him to the 1-game IR instead of 6-game IR. So he can start practicing?
