3 stars plus hh turning cowtown info browntown

[wbbfan]

1 brown all he did is drive the field consistently even after the cooler came in and killed momentum 

2 Lawson and fox studs inside really disruptive looked great together 

3 ol played a great game with lots of moving pieces

honorable mentions to Augustine, lawler, Bailey, 

hh lawler grab 

crunch of the game schmekle on mayor mccheese 

block of the game Dobson driving two defenders and Augustine 8 yards down field 

awe that’s dirty, the man the myth the dirty bastard him self. 

[Goalie]

1. Brown. He's a top 5 QB already 

2. Lawler - played a strong game 

3. OL played well 

HH I'll give to schmekel for his only play he's ever made 

[Brandon]

1 - Brown

2 - Replacement d-line

3 - Augustine grinding all those yards and getting that 5.7 yards average.   That guy is a hidden gem. 

HH -  Castillo for making all of those kicks and  making them look easy.

Bozo of the night - Suitor for continously bringing up Awe all night long.   Also in the 4th quarter making it seem like Dickenson was pleased with that one TD drive from Maier and that one TD drive somehow makes Calgary rest easy despite him having a tonne of 2 and outs and doing absolutely nothing all game long.

BOLO. — couple very nice catches requiring some size and hands

Johnny. —  looked like legit RB (remember when people argued he should start over Brady)  AND always awesome underrated special teams gunner’

Kelly/Cole. —  backup dline getting lots of love —. Backup LBs pretty good too

HH —. Brown/Castillo. — reliable/awesome/expected

[BBlink]

At this point we either keep Dru Brown or we get a 1st round pick to trade his negotiation rights. I'd much rather keep him but the alternative is a good consolation. There's going to be multiple teams wanting to go after him.

Gotta keep him at all costs. Getting a real Dunnigan/Danny Mac vibe from this situation. 

[Noeller]

the only way you keep him is by getting rid of Collaros, and after everything that man has done for this organization, there is no way they let the story end that way. Unfortunately, I think it means we're going to lose Brown......for now. 

[Pete Catan's Ghost]

HH - Buck P: Threw in multiple looks that will cause future opponents to respect play possibilities. (Loved the Quad pack.)

[Stickem]

Brown.....................just keeps getting better and better evertime out

Brady........................great talent......great person...what else can you say

BOLO/Bailey...........super talented receivers that make it look easy and it ain't

 

Great to see some of our 'not used' talent get into the lineup:

Fox/Cole/Kelly and Schmenkle made plays that stood out

At all costs, means no Schoen. Brown will have multiple 2-300k offers minimum...it would be harmful to the team to keep him.

Loved the quad look. Wasn't a fan of the fake sneak. Should have saved that

[Piggy 1]

1. Brown ,looked poised and in control.

2. Bailey ,dude just balls.

3. Dline ,particularly Hansen imo.

Dumb shmuck of the night . Suitor ,for his incessant rambling about Awe.

They never mention why MLBs get tackle numbers that high. It's not because the defense is doing their job lol.

historically poorer defences usually have the LB's with higher tackle numbers...save for the odd exception to the rule

Yep. More so in the past some teams would funnel run plays to their mac and let them read the play and get after it. Ray Lewis era stuff biggie and soli.  And it worked then especially with guys like that. 
 In this day and age you very seldom see great ds have one guy with a massive amount of tackles. 
 When it does happen you see guys with high total defensive plays. The nfl breaking them down into ast solo and tfl with pressures and hits really let’s you see this stuff. 
 

I broke it down in a previous game against the stumps. Awe’s average depth of tackle is well past his positional depth. He isn’t running up and making stops, he’s coming on the back end of long gains and getting in on tackles. I bet his solo tackle numbers and tfl would be really really low. When awe makes a tackle on us it’s almost always after we’ve gained more than our average yards. He’s the prototypical example of bad tackles. 

[rebusrankin]

Wow, Awe had a ton of tackles for a 6 win team. Woopee, Suits.

yeah, it's like leading the league in kickoff return yardage.

It was ridiculous last night showing Awe passing Singleton for the stamps tackle record -- The Stamps had the best D in the league during Singleton's record-setting years, they were Grey Cup finalists both years, Singleton was the team MOP in one of them, and he's now making megabucks in the NFL.  Any list that puts Awe above Singleton is dumb...unless it's a fine money list.

Great analogy. 
truth, singleton was and is a beast. Awe is replacement level and dirty as they come.

Not to mention so many tackles like 10-20 yards down the field. Congrats!

He has the talent to not need to do that sort of thing, but he does.

Yeah sadly he is a heck of a player...and by all accounts a real upstanding and smart guy off the field....some guys tho when they put the helmet on become real assbags

[Arnold_Palmer]

I liked the way Augustine played yesterday. He ran for some tough yards. He has a reputation as being a fast runner who goes down quick. I think we’re in good hands if we ever need him. 

[ddanger]

1. Hansen...great push all game, never mind his play on specials.

2. Our future d'line players showed that they can ball.

3. O'line pushing the pile down the field keeping Brown clean, and enabling Brady Johnny and Les the room to run.  

HH Castillo. Made all his kicks in bad weather, and a 51 yarder to boot!
