Bond is an awesome player. I will miss him, but don't begrudge him his shot at the big time. Noeller, wbbfan and Bigblue204 3

Durability was a concern in the past for him and that adversely affected his stock, IMO. For what he is, he's an important asset. good to have a vet like Neuf around for the young guys. It's what Hellebuyck needed last year and has this year (different sport I know but same idea).

Hes not good. and not rotational. Remember when harris was averaging 1.8 yards per carry for the first several weeks of his time here? Newfie blocking. Harris also gets way better numbers when he's not all alone in the backfield. His numbers really took off when he had Flanders back there spelling him. blue_gold_84 1

His numbers really took off when he had Flanders back there spelling him. Flanders was mostly playing a slot/flanker/wing position and motioning into the back field post snap. Harris was also tearing it up pretty good before flanders drew in for good. Good threats open up more holes. But weve seen flanders carry the team on his back pushing the pile for 5 yards etc. Flanders makes the offense better, but if he was actually used and it would be better still.

Anyone who doesn't remember what happened when Bond Replaced Newf was just not paying very much attention. I think they're insane if they don't dress Foketi - OL should be last position that is sacrificed. No kidding. Bond + hardrick drawing into the line up was massive. People need to go back and look at those early games from last year. That OL was dismal.

That chart is utter bunk. Just head shaking, earth shattering, soo stupid it gives me forrest whitaker eye silly.
trueBlue83 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Posted November 9, 2017 Add 10% to teams in the West, and take away that 30 from the Argos and its more viable, That chart was made IN Toronto, no question!

Neufeld came out, Hardrick bumped to RT, and Bond came in at LG. And Nichols came in at the same time so the QB was holding the ball for far less time. Bond made a big difference but it's not like it was an isolated move. Several changes happened at the time to turn things around. Bigblue204 and blue_gold_84 2
Mr Dee Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Posted November 10, 2017 And it’s time to give that travelled veteran his due. Jermarcus Hardrick, he of “leaping” fame gets recognized for his stellar play at right tackle, and his boundless enthusiasm. What a teammate and now an ALL-STAR at right tackle! Congratulations Jermarcus - you’ve found a home. Bigblue204, blue_gold_84, JCon and 2 others 3 2

Those numbers are a reflection of Toronto's much easier path to the Grey Cup. That said, Calgary should have a higher percentage for the same reason. That said, these statistics aren't the statistics that decide football games.
