JuranBoldenRules Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Edmonton barely held on to beat Montreal in their home opener...Montreal is a horrendous and disorganized team that will be lucky to win 3 games this season.

Jpan85 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah lets keep this to football if you have something to say about the health care system take it to the general forum wbbfan and The Classic 2
BBlink Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Not mentioned too much but I'm guessing Wolitarsky is doing okay this week? He left the game clutching his elbow against BC.

He left the game clutching his elbow against BC. I did see him using the arm shortly after he left the game, thinking it was just a stinger. Maybe "hoping" is a better word.

Noeller Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Woogie finished that game....not an issue. As Bauming reported yesterday: Expect this week's depth chart to look exactly the same as Week 1, with the possible exception of Chris Matthews in for Kenny Lawler... Tracker and The Classic 2

Booch Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 It was more an issue that he was cut/bleeding and needed that to be taken care of..most likely from a helmet buckle.. Interesting story.....I know of players when I played who would shave/file the edges of the metal strap buckles on helmets to a knife like edge...to cause cuts on opposing players.. JCon and Noeller 2

Vicious. yeah...was a lot of sneaky stuff back in day..was a tougher game then with lots of stuff happening that bordered on criminal...my one defensive coordinator told us that if we had to hurdle over a guy on the ground to get to a ball carrier we were to either kick him in the ribs or step on a hand..let em know your there he would say hahahaha..

Is "Woogie" the official nickname or is this just yours?

Yikes, surprised no one got killed!
do or die Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 There were also guys who had wrist, forearm and elbow injuries......who after they healed up, got team "clearance" to continue wearing a cast.
Jpan85 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Raiders in the 70's a lot of the guys wore cast like pads even though they did not have any broken bones. The refs would check the guys in pre game warm ups and they would not have them on but after that the trainers used to be able to get them on before the game.

do or die Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Just not a lot of emphasis on tackling techniques re: player safety......back in the day.... wbbfan 1
Stickem Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 Some of the stuff on the field you can see is brutal...BUT in those pile-ups you can't see, there's a whole lot of ugly going on in those as well....like eye gouging and fingers being used in other areas of the body...Rough game that football.....lol
Booch Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 nope..we were always told/taught to lead with our forehead straight through a guys chin/facemask

It still isnt where it should be especially at the highest levels of football. 4 minutes ago, Booch said: nope..we were always told/taught to lead with our forehead straight through a guys chin/facemask Pass rushing was even worse. Qb killing 101. Wrestling was bad for leading with and using the head too.

I just can't stand idly by and let the proud historical association between slavic nomenclature and north american football be ignored. Think of Bronco Nagurski (the pride of Rainy River). Naming Wolitarsky something like a hairy 7 foot tall alien is downright disrespectful. Actually a hairy seven tall alien would be quite scoop for the D Line. Knocking down passes and making running backs go the other way sounds pretty good. Thursday is a long ways away.
