iirc we had 90 yards on sub 50% in the first half and some thing like 125? offensive yards. Some thing like 2.3 yards per attempt or completion. If that keeps up buck could be the OC by LD.

if we could find the balance of running harris like tnite and still using him in those screens our offense could really take a step forward. But it seems like when ever we run through out the game we forget about the screen and when we screen we get away from the run.

and a 56 yarder as well. xD i think that was in part loffler in part theybad.

nichols had some sporadic pressure n stuff but yeah considering what that DL has done so far this year they did a bang up job.

A lot of guys deserve stars even though the game was a bit sloppy and a bit one half good one half bad again. 1 Poop johnson. 1 sack 1 tackle not crazy numbers but he was such a menace up the middle. Again collapsing the pocket constantly and making qbs throw with an OL in their lap. 2 Taylor loffler. Its not often a good sign when your S has 9 tackles. But he was laying the wood early and often and i constantly saw argos WRs even sj green, with alligator arms, and looking around for him. We havent had that kind of intimidation over the top since terry ray. 3 Soo many guys deserve a spot. Heath, dressler, jeffcoat, but im going with harris. He was a spark early and often and did great tonight despite not having a hole to run through nearly the whole game. hh Gotta go with the lankford TD, was great to have an early lead and spark.

that sounds like a good show. A bomber win will leave you feeling the new wind real strong.

briggs looked solid, in all be it limited reps. He bump hurl if he gets enough reps and the old boys club wears thin. John rush could go back to LBer, Perhaps we go with an extra imp DB and move loffler into the box. Maybe mulumba on a hope and a prayer comes up and plays MLB. But yeah we could use imp LBer depth. Wonder what tony ortiz is doing now...

All i want is for this team to come out and play hard and well for a full game. On O D and teams. That and for them to play disciplined. If we do that and TO out plays us ill take it. This league is looking real tight this year, more important to get the A game going then any thing. Course a win will be great and we could really use it.

not in terms of skill level no.

phenomonal young prospect. 6'7 282lbs corner out fielder. Guy is a massive freak. Hate the yanks but man that is one hell of a young hitter.

They both have a decent helping of truth. I worry about or lackluster systems, but more about mos being soo player friendly that the team plays half a game every game. But no one is on the hot seat or with in close sight of it imo. We are a mid tier quality team. With mid tier quality coaching. We are deeply invested into mos and hes earned time to see if he can take the next step forward.

Agree with the prequel being more interesting. Not sure how i feel about the spin off being mayans. Seemed like the weakest of possible spin offs. Watched the castlevania series on netflix. Like most i wish it had been longer. S2 and 3 are gonna be 10 episodes though. And the 4 episodes were really really good.

Would be an upgrade, i was thinking the same of frederick/alexander too actually.

Thats right. At the half though BLM was under 50% and around 100 yards while he put up 200+ and ended up with just under 65% completion, and about half of messams yards came in the 4th, including a 10 play nearly 3 minute drive to end the game.

Busy off season so far for the raps. carroll to the nets in a dump. Expensive but worth it. Cory joseph is gone to indiana for cj miles as well. Its good ground work for the rest of the off season. I dont expect the raps to get a superstar, but a JV deal and a good stretch 4 would go a long long ways. A veteran presence like sir charles on the bench to lead by example would be fantastic too. Some one who knows how to win and can mentor DD and lowry into winners.

20 points in the 2nd half. 10-9 for us at half game ended 10-29. Our D was also well rested for once from the first half.

Other teams in the league dont happily pick over the imp end cuts of a team with poor imp scouting.

and go back to returning. I have a little bit of un ease for this game. We should win it. But if we play on D like we did against the riders or the 2nd half of the stamps game ricky ray might once again beat us silly.

fa scouting is still scouting. Its still our management team. scouting cfl talent is more important then down south. Said before camp i thought it was gonna be hurl unless some one was crazy good. Look how good jeffcoat was and he is on the pr. The best players in camp/ps dont automatically win spots on a team that is coached by a players coach.

He hasnt had much of a chance either. That isnt poor scouting. Usage, and plenty of other things you can argue have been poor. But we have one of the best and youngest OLs, and the deepest. We rebuilt our DL. etc. Poor scouting is a few years ago when we had massive holes all over the place and no one with a pulse to fill them.

Ya, the sky is falling Knox has been a beast on teams, he could turn into the LBer we want/need. Poop johnson and nevis have been massive on the interior DL. Jeffcoat as stated looks like a stud. Roc has struggled but alexander has been good. The dbs from last year as well. I dont think its wr talent thats an issue, its our system. Hard to throw short passes on 3/4 of your plays and turn it into much.

edm and cal havent been beaten. ott and ham both havent won. I really think this year every one is in it till the last 2-3 weeks. save maybe 1 team.

could well be. Could say the same about edm. That a side i dont think a pro starting qb is that mentally weak to be negatively impacted. Motivated for sure. But when the bullets are flying and you are playing it all simplifies. I dont think there much of a chance hes in the red zone goin, i wanna stick it to BLM qbing the other team on the side lines right now. After a td he might have a lil smirk like yeaaaaah. But in the heat of action i think even at a high amateur level that the mind set to compete over whelms less thoughts and focuses in.

You can certainly make a strong case for as goes the qb so goes the team in that game. nichols was good first half, blm not at all. Bombers won 1st half. 2nd half opposite. That said, nichols was really streaky in that first half. And blm was really not good and we only had a 1 pt lead. We thoroughly out played calgary in the first half but had a small lead for it. It was a lot of execution issues all over, and this team playing on emotion too much and not enough on effort.

Thats part of it. As much as any thing DD and the stamps made adjustments and executed. They have an atmosphere of competition. You can lose youre job there, even if you are beloved if you dont produce. Here, if you have bad games or arent productive you can last a long time if you are one of the boys. According to mos, players allways bring it and on every play. But that simply isnt true. Even good and great players (elfrid payton for instance) need pushing, or they will coast and surge. And if you let that become the norm, when the team loses momentum you get a ton of coasting. Back in the day you used to see Long time regimes end and go to the other school of coaching. A players coach (like mos) would be replaced by a hard ass authoritarian. And vice versa. Teams become to frat like, too long in the tooth with old boys clubs etc, and need a shake up. And if you start to struggle after years with a real hard nosed coach who isnt a players coach easing off that pressure with a new coach can work wonders in the short term. The terrible penalties, lack of production for extender periods of time, and some guys who have seen sharp dips in production (westerman) can all be shaken up with some tough love, benchings, and more intense practices . Will mos do that? very doubt full. At this point in time, and given how hard it is to maintain a long term championship contending organization under the same regime you see a lot more in the middle coaching styles. So the coach can turn it up or ease off as needed. Because if you are that nice players coach, you wont be taken seriously if you come in one day 100% hard ass. Or if you are a hard ass and ease up the players will still be distrustful.
