B-F-F-C Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 I said earlier in the season when the defence was struggling that at some point this season we'll need them to win a game for us. This was a perfect example where the defence bailed out the offence who at times struggled and gave the cats an opportunity to get back in the game. Hats off to Richie Hall and his charges. rebusrankin, Blueandgold and TheSource 1 2
Mark F Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Bighill ..... wow. Must. extend. Bighill. Also Harris. Both of them, game after game, play at all star level. Harris bulldozed two Ham defenders including Larry Dean, 11 from the two, for a td. the D line played great, but some of those Ticat O lineman are not quick on their feet. Refs calling wpg for intentional grounding, after Masoli's three or four,😂. ( After the third or fourth one, Moss probably mentioned the rule to them, and the light went on, "oh yeah, forgot about that one".... then call Nichols ) Edited August 11, 2018 by Mark F wbbfan 1
ddanger Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 I assume a large portion of the offensive struggle can be attributed to not having #7 in the game after Q1. That being said, #15 didn't have a great game. Very impressed with Medlock, Harris, Bighill, whole D line......and of course the fans who turned the volume right up for the last minute 20!! And how about our back-up qb Bennett making a sweet special teams tackle !! I've never seen a back up qb play specials, I assume this is pretty uncommon? kelownabomberfan 1

Yes, the deep misses could have been the receivers messing up. But Masoli looked way more accurate than Nichols, who stood in the pocket all night. Why was that? By-week rust? Is he still injured?

The TD throws to Dressler and Demski were things of beauty. Nichols didn't move around much though. Pretty static in the pocket. That's unusual. This is the CFL after all.

Loffler has been underwhelming.
Booch Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 An impact receiver would be more benefit than a safety..Loffler hasnt been his usual self but in no way is hurting us or costing us games..tho another threat on offence has huge implications
Stickem Posted August 11, 2018 Report Posted August 11, 2018 Have to agree on Loffler....he isn't costing us but he's far from the guy we drafted and had such hopes for...His first year was terrific.....then he started tailing off to where he is playing 'just good enough' to hold a spot...Disappointed in his performance so far this year and hope he can turn it around orrrrr if not we might be looking for someone to upgrade

All of Masoli's and Green's significant runs featured a missed tackle by Loffler. Our D is immensely better having the Leggett and Fenner on the field together every down without having to sacrifice Alexander or Sayles. At this point not having to keep Loffler on the field for the majority of snaps is addition by subtraction too. They can still have a role for him to play and maybe he can get his mojo back in that and chasing kicks. Petermann is averaging what, 2 broken tackles per reception this season? Simonise is a legit deep threat. Between those two you have a big threat IMO. You could still dress Flanders or Washington as a DI if Dressler comes out.
do or die Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Posted August 12, 2018 With possibly the exception of the 2nd Toronto game....Loffler has been pretty underwhelming, all year.

The biggest issue with that is loffler is often in position to make a tackle but sells out for a hit instead. Guys the league over have it figured out and have adapted. If he would adjust as well doing more sound wrap up and take down it would open up his ability to hit some times as well. He has got to be among the league leaders in missed tackles. Mo at S, fenner at sam, then we need a back up rotational db, not a hard spot to fill.
kelownabomberfan Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 There was a big special teams tackle during the game by Bennett I believe, though Rod Black gave the credit to Loffler. I couldn't tell if it was #16 or #18 on the jersey. I think it was Bennett though and Rod was just wrong as usual.
Jpan85 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Was Bennett. You know everyone has bought in when the 3rd string QB is becoming a special teams beast. bigg jay 1

Jpan85 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Posted August 12, 2018 Was watching on kickoff he motor down the field and flung himself into three Hamilton players.
