I agree with Renaud, but your solution of Maher doesn't make any sense. I don't really agree regarding Grigsby. He's got work to do. Product of the system is where I'm standing at this point. Strong runner, below average blocker. Won't cut it long term unless he improves to become a complete back. Also don't agree that Aaron Kelly is the new Milt Stegall. Not only is he not even close to Milt Stegall, he's not the #1 receiver on our team by any means. Bryant Turner ... anyone questioning him doesn't really have that right, as far as I'm concerned. Worry about your family, he'll worry about his. Matt Bucknor, I'm not terribly sold on. He was getting abused HARD early. He picked up his socks, but there's a reason he had like 6 tackles in the first quarter. As far as Etcheverry goes ... if you didn't see any adjustments, you must have turned the game off quite early. Like in the first quarter.

They move around. And there's only one ball man.

He gave up on his route? We must have seen entirely different things there.

Why am I not even slightly surprised Friesen got the score wrong?

lol seriously? You harp on me calling Kelly average all offseason and now that he's on pace for a 1000 yard season, you want to call for him to be benched?

Goalie, I think you're really underestimating how important pass protection is for a running back.

Excellent.

God dammit ... I forgot to take Jeff Fuller out and Calgary has a bye. Still doing pretty well, I have 50 points already with Durant, Swain and Harris left to play.

I'm kind of disappointed. He threw for 308 yards in week 1 and only threw for 307 last night. If he throws for 306 next week, I think we should hand the ball to Brohm and see what he can do. Just kidding. The last we had a quarterback throw for 300 yards in back to back games was September 12+19, 2009 with Kevin Glenn. Wow.

At one point, part of me sure was starting to think "man, they really want Ottawa to win" with all those penalties. Not so much the calls against us, they were legitimate, but the calls that were being missed on Ottawa ...

Thanks for the feedback. As for Ottawa, they haven't played a game yet (other than preseason) so it's really tough to gauge what they will/won't do..especially since this is their 1st season. "Making the game boring" means playing efficient football..that's what they did last week vs Toronto. They didn't try to get 'cute' or 'fancy', they kept it simple and executed. That's what is meant by 'keep it boring'. It has nothing to do with points. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the efforts you go through. Just constructive criticism, that's all. I've seen you break down film before and your knowledge is strong. Try and integrate that into the previews when possible and they'd improve a ton. Always love seeing somebody from down in the States embrace the game.

I'm torn on Grigsby. Solid runner, but it's ironic that he played against Chevon Walker tonight because that's who he reminds me of. Mainly because both leave much to be desired in pass protection. But 100+ in two straight and 3 majors isn't something to scoff at

Teague Sherman is a BEAST

Your production values are improving, but I have to be honest. The analysis still leaves a lot to be desired. For Ottawa's preview, all you really seemed to do is name names. You seemed to more or less just be reading their depth chart. For Winnipeg's preview, you isolated Jesse Briggs as a defender who played well last week. He took maybe half a dozen snaps on defense all game, if that. For the keys to the game, you mentioned Winnipeg needs to make it a boring game like last week. What part of a 45 point outburst is boring? And why would we want to make it boring this week? I do like the fantasy football feature though, it's an interesting addition to your previews.

The 23 penalties is important to place in proper context. At the end of the first quarter, when it was 17-0 for Winnipeg, the penalty count was 3 penalties/20 yards for Toronto and 1 penalty/5 yards for Winnipeg. Two of Toronto's penalties were special teams infractions that hardly altered anything at all. It wasn't like the tide was turned by this sudden rush of penalties, the game was already well in our favor by the time Toronto started losing their cool.

Chevon Walker will probably be good for a 75 yard TD and a fumble that breaks their spirit.

Modern Family is one of those shows I hold off on watching for a few years because I'm pretty convinced once I start, I'll want to watch the whole series in a span of about two weeks.

We had a too many men penalty on a punt. Technically considering an offensive penalty. But yes, you're right.

Bombers had 5 two and outs, doesn't look like any of them were consecutive. Fun fact - not a single winning team last week had less two and outs than their opponent. Winnipeg (5) beat Toronto (4) Edmonton (8) beat BC (8) Saskatchewan (8) beat Hamilton (7) Calgary (4) beat Montreal (3)

Working on the two and outs for you. One more interesting fact - Bombers were the only team not to take a special teams penalty last week.

More interesting numbers ... Nic Grigsby leads the CFL in carries over 20 yards with 2. The rest of the CFL is tied with 0. Julian Feoli-Gudino and Cory Watson are both tied for the Bomber lead in YAC with 22. Interesting statistic on Drew Willy - he earned more of his passing yards than any QB in the league. What I mean by that is that the majority of his passing yardage was obtained while the ball was in the air. Out of 308 passing yards, only 70 yards were obtained after the catch. As a comparison, Bo Levi Mitchell threw for 313 passing yards and 166 of them were obtained after the catch. Aaron Kelly leads the CFL in catches on 2nd down resulting in a 1st down with 3. Several others (including Cory Watson) tied for second with 2. Winnipeg's offense was 64% run on first down, most in the league.

It's annoying me that Anthony Allen hasn't been available for 2 straight weeks

First Ottawa drafts a dead guy. Now they got a guy playing the DE/AD spot.

The post you quoted tells you exactly what there was to gain. Repetitions.

On the bright side, it's nice of Bryant Turner to be contributing depth to our franchise. I'm sure his newborn will be lining up in the trenches within weeks. Those Turner genetics ...
