the change from Hecht to Alexander in 2019 was like the change from Willy to Nichols in 2016 -- suddenly we were a different team.

whoah Ed Tait off the leash a little:

someone was talking about their suspicion that Adams was hurt ... he may not be getting the deep balls thrown his way but his downfield blocking is solid as ever.

that pass to Adams on the blitz play was so great. a wide side safety valve throw in full retreat, turns a great blitz into a 5-yard gain, saves the drive.

he was like Wayne Gretzky. You couldn't lay a hand on him, he could move around so well. He didn't take a lot of punishment and I think that was his secret, he didn't wear down over the course of the season like other QBs.

only time I've ever left a football game early in my life was when Flutie and the Argos were up 50 on the Rough Riders in the 3Q.

A terrible defensive call on the 3rd and 10, Argos left the box wide open, too much space for just Muamba to cover.

To get back to the podcast, I cheer on that project but can't commit to helping out on the regular. For the record, my dream podcast is "Lapo explains football to johnzo and it's a vlog on youtube with lots of game clips and good production values."

He reminds me of how Jim Barker describes Willie Jefferson: at his height he was a game wrecker. Somehow he's still effective despite all the punishment he's taken. Like a Matt Dunigan but made of Wolverine bones.

Impressed with Dinwiddie's ability to adjust in the back end of a home-at-home so far.

So this is a play you run with an 21 formation, right? 6OL + 1TE + 3WR + 1HB + QB, and the TE is to the trips side, with four options on the play: 2 run options that the QB calls at the line, QB choose R/P after the snap, then reads the pass play if necessary. Does the pass play have a set reading order, like always read Lawler first and then the trips side? Or is the QB going to decide who to read first based on what he sees at the line? Is this a typical level of complexity for a CFL play? The QB has so many decisions to make, when you break it down it's astonishing that a QB can start and win for a team on just a few days' practice, like Bishop and Collaros and Clements did for us. Are you always going to run the trips to the field side? Or would you run the trips on the boundary ever? What does the HB do on the pass option? Harris is going to influence the D heavily during the entire play, so do you have him flare out to the boundary to draw guys away from the trips side? Or maybe you screen it to him behind all the trips blockers? Seems like that could bring too much heat to the trips side though. Or do you need him as an extra blocker in case there's a bust up front or an extra rusher? Also, can you call those audibles in a fired up mosaic stadium? So many questions!

"Quick Six horse is bored" needs to be in a haiku, thank you.

I go the other way. Have never seen a QB singlehandedly win a game like Reilly did against us in 2014. Dude has a gift for being able to carry a team. plus, Reilly is so dangerous running, and BLM doesn't really have that tool, he can do okay but he's not someone you have to game plan around. At his height Reilly would destroy teams that didn't spy him and I think that's a pain in the ass for defences to always have to sacrifice a linebacker just to watch what the QB does .. especially against a team with a great passing game. No rust on BLM, I think he's a great athlete and he belongs in the Hall of Fame based on his won-loss record alone -- you can say what you want about how good the Calgary program is, but it all starts with him and during his glory years I think he was full value for that win-loss record. But if I get to draft first overall in the twenty-teens I'm taking Reilly.

what play do you call on O there? the other team likely has their heavies in as well, so it's not a giant mismatch unless you're passing, unless I'm missing something.

Really? I've been impressed with Ambles, it seems like he's helping his qb out with good contested catches and lots of YAC. And Huff is leading the league in receptions though he had a terrible terrible fumble at a very bad time against us.

no, for sure, he could be the next Ricky Ray who is elite thru his entire career. the vibe I get from tsn is that he's solid way beyond his years but that's TSN, they're going to pump the tires on any promising QB. wbbfan just wanted examples of guys who put up a dominating few games at the start of their career and then busted later and it seemed like those guys were the obvious examples.

thanks for the correction. I missed him moving back to corner. My comment still stands, it seems like I'm not hearing his name very often and I wonder if I'm missing something there too or if teams are shying away from testing him.
