Mr Dee Posted September 12, 2016 Report Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) After Week 12 Bye Ottawa Lowell Ullrich #BCLions continue to re-set OL, release RT Levy Adcock. Justin Dunk 3downnation -Zach Collaros has proved why Hamilton paid him $1.5 million on a fresh three-year contract. The 28-year-old has 1,510 yards and 14 touchdowns in four games. Extrapolate those numbers over 18 regular season games: 6,795 passing yards and 63 touchdowns. Those are figures that have never been reached by a CFL quarterback. -Rakeem Cato in for Kevin Glenn One CFL source on the quarterback change: “You know Jim Popp is going to blame someone not named Popp.” ??Yeah, I thought Milanovich missed one by skirting that challenge... Donnovan Bennett -Sportsnet Diontae Spencer made a diving catch on an under-thrown ball when the Argos were driving down three with just over seven minutes to go. Replays showed Spencer got his hands underneath the ball despite the ruling on the field being incomplete. But Scott Milanovich didn’t challenge. So instead of second and short the Argos were backed up in second and long. Ricky Ray then threw a pick-six to Emmanuel Davis. ??The Lions already have seven wins—the same amount they had last year. The Bombers already have one more...

Kirk Penton - Post Media Network Jones needs to figure it all out quickly because there is already speculation in Regina that the Riders board of directors will fire everyone, including president and CEO Craig Reynolds, if the gong show continues. The Riders are the laughingstock of the league right now and folks there take their football very seriously. Ed Tait Medlock has now tied or set three different Bomber placekicking records this season. He had made 22 consecutive field goals prior to hitting the upright in the second quarter, setting a new standard. He hit a 58 yarder in the opener to tie Bernie Ruoff’s club record (set in 1975) and tied Kennerd’s seven-makes in one game record on Sunday. ??Although I like McDuffie winning CFL Top Performer, I agree with Eric M. that it should have been Collaros. I do not agree with his stance that Montreal should be ranked last in his team rankings. That position is owned by Saskatchewan... Troy Westwood The @calstampeders OLine is stupid. They allow a sack every 37.8 dropbacks. #CFL average is one every 16.2 dropbacks. Stupid. Stupid good. ??Collaros's efforts on Monday show what an elite QB, "performing", can do for his team. Ray, an elite QB, can't do that anymore... ??And is this how the rest of the league, and Bomber fans feel about this topic:?

The Als have played 20 games since that fateful night, but have won only six. Drew Edwards Now in his fifth season with Toronto, Ray has dressed for 58 of a possible 82 games, starting 50 (in the other eight he was active but on the sidelines.) Lowell Ullrich 3downnation It’s no big deal to Buono. Wally Buono, on Alex Bassie and his leading sack total: "But sacks are a glory stat. If we’ve played 10 games and on average if there’s 60 plays a game, that’s 600 plays (this season) so far.. If he gets nine sacks, whoop-de-do.” In just 32 CFL games, Bazzie has 27 career sacks, and if that doesn’t seem impressive consider that since his arrival in 2014, only John Chick of Hamilton (33) and Montreal’s John Bowman (35) have more during the same span.

Kendal Lawrence I’m tired of the refs deciding the game for us,” a frustrated Lawrence said in the Roughriders’ locker room. “It always seems like every game, there are one or two plays that really hurt us and it’s because of a flag. I kind of feel like the refs have it out for us. “When it counts, there’s always a flag. When we need a big play and we make it, there’s always a flag. When we stop someone when we need a stop, there’s a flag. I’m just tired of it.” As reported by Ian Hamilton Regina Leader-Post John Hodge 3downnation The Riders don’t stink because CFL officials have it out for them. The Riders stink because, well, they stink. Terry jones Overtime for the third time this year for the Eskimos. Eric M. Yeah, #Esks' Mike Benevides is probably one-&-done in EDM, while Thorpe probably wants nothing more to do with MTL. CFL Staff Reilly was under pressure all day long, was sacked four times and was hit hard numerous times on top of that. The outstanding work from that front four allowed the Stampeders to apply tight, tight coverage on Walker, Bowman, and the rest of Edmonton’s receiving threats. Calgary’s defensive blueprint was simple in design but deadly effective when executed to perfection.". 3)Lowell Ullrich 3downnation Jeremiah Johnson had the best rushing performance by a player at his position in the CFL this season, running for 159 yards on 16 carries and scoring three touchdowns in a punishing 38-27 win over the Montreal Alouettes. .@MTLAlouettes' Chip Cox sets the @CFL record for most fumble return TDs with the 6th of his career. #CFLGameDay ??- 588 total yards. BC totally swamped the Alouettes. From Jennings to the O-line, to the running back and to the receivers, and guided by a great game plan by Khari's Jones, Montreal never stood a chance. It's not like they had much of a chance with Rakeem Cato starting at QB, but Cato didn't play badly, he was just over-whelmed by a strong, relentless defence. Everything worked for BC, in that game. It was a great time not to play them. Only 8 penalties in the game. Gary Lawless O'Shea the HC might not blast team in media but O'Shea special teams coordinator just had some hot words for his crew after another penalty Kirk Penton #Roughriders returner, Armanti Edwards, used to be a quarterback on #Bombers neg list. Duron Carter I'm tired of this and y'all ?I'm mad every game because everybody is calling a chess game and we playing checkers‼️ it's very frustrating ? ??Winnipeg 3 sacks Regina 0 sacks You know what that means eh? Free eats for the O-Line... -Winnipeg’s six-game win streak is their longest in 15 years -Bombers were pretty stingy on defence, stopping Sask. on the 1 yard. Twice. -Penalties Bombers - 9-81 Sask. 14-110 According to Rider fans, the refereeing is one-sided and anti-Rider to the nth degree. "Things that are called on us aren't being called on other teams" kind of reasoning. A scam, if you believe thread titles. Dressler - more yards than Roosevelt 135-121, was particularly pleasing.. Harris lost the CFL rushing lead when he went down with injury. "It shows the maturity of this team to be in a tight game. The defence forces a turnover and we have guys filling in because of injuries...This is a great team win" MATT NICHOLS ??The Riders couldn't overcome penalties and mistakes. The Bombers overcame 5 injuries. We deserved that game. The Bombers are now an incredible +23 in the turnover ratio, having forced 25 turnovers in the last five games. 120: Consecutive pass attempts by Nichols without throwing an interception. - Ed Tait Good article by Thomas Gunther - lastwordoncanadianfootball.com poor execution - see article Mental errors - the Riders have been become known for shooting themselves in the foot at the worst of times. A big play overturned by a bonehead penalty, an interception tossed in the red zone, or trying to lay a big hit rather than wrap up and allowing a big gain. All of these mental errors are commonplace for the Green and White this season. What should be especially concerning for the team is that these were exactly the type of things that the hiring of Chris Jones was to supposed to eliminate. The excuse that the team is young and developing is a tired and frankly unacceptable reason for the Riders’ litany of gaffes through 12 weeks. This team is building for next year, but there is a much deeper problem than inexperience that Jones and Co. have to root out if 2017 is to be any different. Flawed Play Calling - see http://lastwordoncanadianfootball.com/2016/09/11/losing-roughriders-face-another-lost-season/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Darren Cameron In all my years here I don't think I've heard the players mention the fans so often post game. What a difference. Chris Cuthbert Good for Dan Lefevour even if he just ruined a week of rampant QB trade speculation in the CFL. cfl.ca Staff ?? LeFevour completed 75 per cent of his passes, ran for 39 yards and played well enough to defy the Ticats defence. -the Argonauts defence held Ticats QB Zach Collaros to under 250 yards passing. 22-39 attempts. Toronto only had 1 sack but hit Collaros hard several times. ??I doubt anybody missed the Willy news... ??The talk and results about this game were overshadowed by a rumours of a trade, and then the announcement of that trade. Here's the pieces. Kirk Penton BOMBERS GET QB Kevin Glenn CB T.J. Heath 2017 1st round pick (from Argos) 2018 3rd round pick (from Argos) ARGOS GET QB Drew Willy ALOUETTES GET 2017 4th round pick (from Bombers) Still simmering.... ??Lost in all the hoopla is the fact that Kevin Glenn will look much nicer in Blue and Gold... Gary Lawless Willy was excellent. Lapo told me that on the field on Saturday. No issues. O'Shea had a tough time signing off Ed Tait For a bunch of reasons, salary cap, 2017 contracts and such we just felt it was time to make the move,” said Walters. “Could we have kept Drew on for the rest of this year as our No. 2? Certainly. But I think it would have been just delaying a very difficult decision moving into next year.” ??True that Willy was a distraction..somewhat, but maybe only to us fans. Tait: Those acquired picks are important picks for a club that has completely turned around a horrible draft history from 2012-2013. Consider that four players from its 2016 draft class are on the roster in Trent Corney, Michael Couture, Taylor Loffler and Shayne Gauthier – with Loffler now the starting safety. The lineup also features eight selections from the 2014 and 2015 classes earning paycheques in starting centre Matthias Goossen (second overall, 2014), Jesse Briggs (second round, 2014), Derek Jones (third round, 2014) and starting right guard Sukh Chungh (first round, 2015), Addison Richards (second round, 2015), Brendan Morgan (second round, 2015), Chris Normand (fourth round, 2015) and Garrett Waggoner (supplemental draft, forfeiting 2016 first rounder) Clare Kines Just realized that with that Willy trade the @Wpg_BlueBombers have the top 3 interception leaders in the #CFL. @almighty31, Fogg & Heath. Drew Edwards The Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the Drew Willy trade. The Kevin Glenn one, too. Kirk Penton Quirky fact before bed: #Bombers traded QB Buck Pierce to #BCLions three years ago on Banjo Bowl weekend. David Morassutti - tipofthetower.com Head coach Scott Milanovich also discussed the addition of Willy: “Drew has all of the abilities we look for in a quarterback – leadership, poise, accuracy and a strong arm. -Barker said: “By making this trade, not only have we added depth to the quarterback position for this season, but we have added a young, talented and experienced quarterback for the future.” CFL Communications 2016 CFL Trade Deadline - Wednesday, October 12, at 3:59pm ET. #CFL ??Although I'm pretty sure Kyle Walters is well aware..

Mr Dee Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) THE INSIDERS SAY (Kirk Penton) CFL coaches and managers give their anonymous thoughts on what they’re talking about behind closed doors: -Dave Dickenson looks like a 10 year coaching veteran in his first year. He learned under Huf (John Hufnagel) and Wally (Buono), and it shows ... -As coaches, it’s frustrating for us trying to teach and improve our men with this new CBA. It’s hard to coach and develop young players in shorts and sweats. Practice wasn’t that way when I played or when I was a younger coach. But, without calling out a team, I see one over there in the East that needs to teach fundamentals and tackling. When you miss tackles, you get beat. Young coaches think it’s all about scheme. It isn’t. Keep it simple, and get your players better by working on fundamentals ... -Winnipeg won the Drew Willy trade. Dump that big salary, gain two picks, a starting DB (that they really need). It’s a no-brainer if Matty Ice (Matt Nichols) is the man moving forward ... -It pisses me off to say it since they’re in our division, but Kyle Walters made two great trades last weekend ... -The best officials in the league right now are Tom Vallesi and Al Bradbury. The worst is Kim Murphy ... -Rakeem Cato’s performance was about what I thought. He ran around and tried to make plays outside the framework of the offence — sometimes with success, most of the time without. He’s just not a consistent enough passer to win consistently. They have to limit his opportunities to throw down field by leaning on the run game and screens/quicks ... -Vaughn Martin is telling people he doesn’t plan to play in the CFL again ... -The Argos seem to see some aspects of Willy’s game that Winnipeg maybe already judged or overlooked. It’s a fresh start for him with Ricky Ray waiting in the wings ... It was bad for us, because we might need the crossover to get in the playoffs, but that Toronto team impressed me. In football, we teach our guys that to be winners you have to learn how to overcome adversity. They lost Ray, but the Argos went out, smacked the Ticats in the mouth and won a game they had to have ... -I wouldn’t trade a second-rounder for Duron Carter. He’s not a guy to add in season to a locker-room, especially if you are a playoff contender ... -I told my brother: Don’t be surprised if Calgary plays Edmonton in the Grey Cup ... -Hope No. 33 (Shakir Bell) doesn’t play this week. He makes the Eskimos even tougher to defend ... -T.J. Heath is very good, young, athletic and has great ball skills. He reminds me of a young Jovon Johnson ... -I’ve never coached (Dan) LeFevour, but he impressed the (bleep) out of me last week. His mobility makes the Argos a different team. He takes a lot of pressure off of their offensive line. When Ray’s out there playing, he’s easy to blitz. You know Ray is going to be in the pocket. With LeFevour they can change his launching points and when he needs to he can escape the pocket and make plays and first downs with his legs ... -Look at the film. (Matt) O’Donnell holds 30 times a game. But (the officials) let him get away with it ... -I thought they would get more than a fourth rounder, but Montreal did what they needed to. (Jim) Popp has won a lot more games than you media guys. Trading (Kevin) Glenn and giving the ball to Cato is good for his team. A young quarterback has to play if he’s going to develop. And getting rid of Glenn’s salary helps them with the cap ... -How many punts has Hamilton gotten blocked this year? ... Mental errors are why the Ticats are always getting punts blocked. Against Calgary they were incorrect in the count to the kick side and left a man unblocked. The last two were mental errors by the personal protector. They saw the scheme the week before and blocked it ... -Ricky Ray should be Toronto’s next QB coach, and let the “QB whisperer” develop another young guy. I think Willy will be better under Scott (Milanovich). Willy might lack the charisma to be an upper-echelon quarterback in this league. There’s no question about his skills ... -Toronto gave up too much. Is there that much of a difference between Kevin Glenn and Drew Willy other than age? Good on (Kyle) Walters ... The Argos got fleeced. http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Football/CFL/Montreal/2016/09/13/22666454.html Edited September 14, 2016 by Mr Dee Jesse 1

Noeller Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 wait....did a guy say that we "needed" a DB?? The deepest part of our team?
Mike Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 3 minutes ago, Noeller said: wait....did a guy say that we "needed" a DB?? The deepest part of our team? We're super deep at corner but if their argument is that we needed a top halfback to either 1) get Bruce Johnson on the bench or 2) get Kevin Fogg some rest, I'd be hard pressed to argue with either statement I mean, who do we have after Fogg and Johnson that can play halfback? Meanwhile, we could field two sets of starting corners.
Noeller Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah, that's fair in a specific context.....I was thinking of it in general terms that it seemed absurd. I've seen Bruce Johnson whiff on so many tackles this year that I would desperately like to see him take some time off...
Fan Boy Posted September 14, 2016 Report Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I totally agree with the O'Donnell assessment. I watched part of the Calgary Edmonton Game last night. I was explaining to maybe a future son in law (who is a techy not a sports guy) how O'Donnell's height might not be as advantageous as it first appears because of leverage issues. We were watching him and saw he had his hands outside his opponent around the shoulders or chest almost every play. It looked like he was trying to lift a kid into their highchair or like a gentle tackle. Edited September 14, 2016 by Fan Boy I am mistake prone. Atomic 1

Mr Dee Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Posted September 14, 2016 I was remiss in calling to attention a particular play(s) involving Weston Dressler and Justin Cox. As you all remember, near the end of the Labour Day game Justin Cox was penalized for interference when he prevented Dressler from getting to the ball by using his left arm to hold, then hook Dressler, all the while looking back for the ball. Move on to the Banjo Bowl game, early in the 2nd quarter, on our 1st possession, Nichols and Dressler cleverly hooked up for 31 yard gain. Dressler virtually ran the same route, but when Cox made his move - arm out and looking back at the QB, Dressler pressed in, then cut out quickly before Nichols hit him with a perfect pass. In my mind, a nicely designed play with this exact scenario in mind. LaPolice, Nichols and Dressler - well done.. If you get a chance..check it out to see what I mean.
