There are only about two teams in the entire league that couldn't make use of Peach at this point. It's got to be some bad voodoo that's keeping them from raiding Huff's cookie jar. It's a game of chicken, and who knows if Peach even wants to leave based on an opportunity elsewhere. Either way, the Stamps are in control. If they want him, he won't be going anywhere.

Based on the first two weeks worth of games, Willy ought to be rated (arguably) no lower than the third best QB in the CFL. Some people think that Mike Reilly is a star QB...

Suber is great at jamming slots at the line and disrupting timing on routes, but if he gets caught 1 on 1 downfield he is one of the worst at making a play with the ball in the air, and that's not a size thing, just awareness. We used to play a corner (Ottawa and Montreal did too) named Greg Moss who was 5'5 but he'd defend deep balls to 6'2-6'3-6'4 receivers on the boundary just fine. It's all about timing and tracking the ball. For this reason I'm not a big fan of him in a zone defense, yes the tackling is very good, but it would be nice to have someone who can make a play on the ball too, not just pile up 10 tackles after first downs are gained. Unamba is pretty bad on D, his effort makes him strong on special teams though. IMO, Markett on the roster is preferable to either, better player than both, more versatile than Suber, won't lose anything Unamba brings on special teams. Woods is doing fine at returner. He protects the ball, gains yards, and when there is a big return available he gets it. People seem to have this expectation that there should be big returns all the time, but the way teams punt now, most of them are basically not returnable. He's third in the league on kickoff returns among the regulars, and third on punt returns.

I'm glad the Bombers have had the experience of playing Toronto and Ottawa to this point, because they are going to see a combination of both defense's in Montreal. They've seen pretty much everything already, and handled everything pretty well. The big thing against Montreal will be avoiding turnovers, especially ones that give them points.

Why would Calgary let him go? The Stamps would have to activate Peach on to the starting roster & take a starter off the active roster & put him on the PR. I really wish we'd pick the guy up. Seems like a no brainer to me. No they wouldn't. They'd just have to shuffle someone who's not playing onto the 1 game IR and put Peach on the 46. It would cost them an extra game cheque, that's it. Has that always been the rule or is it changed with the CBA? Has been since the 2010 CBA. The other part of it is that Peach would have to agree to sign with the Bombers, and he's already got some time in Calgary's system and he's not far from being on the active roster there either. He'd be competing for the 6th/7th OL spot here, basically where he's at with Calgary.

Why do you have to add someone to the PR? All you have to do is clear a spot on the 46 man roster. Could be by releasing someone or moving someone to the injured list.

Just a few more stupid question so that I understand this process better. I downloaded the file with the free version of utorrent and it took 8 hours to do so. I can now play the file with the utorrent player and I see that the playback can be paused but not reversed to allow for the review of a play to take a second look. No time bar either, what gives? Also can not locate the downloaded file on my PC. Is this because the file is not actually stored on my PC? Wonders never cease! Should be in your "Downloads" folder, or whichever folder you have set to receive downloads. You can open it with Windows Media Player from there.

Might have been worth a challenge from Ottawa if it was ruled incomplete, but going the other way, complete to incomplete, on the challenge would have certainly not been overturned. He has control and turns upfield (football move), catch complete, then he gets stripped.

CFL.ca has extended highlights.

He won't get on the roster to return kicks. He can't catch punts. I can see Ford going soon. They let him hit free agency and took him back at far less than he thought he deserved. We have 5 import backs right now.

They've been using tight ends a lot (Pontbriand and double tights with Pontbriand and Fitzgerald), which is actually more effective for dealing with a pass rush than another back because it generally widens the rush lanes for edge rushers. Most protection schemes now tend to count the number of potential rushers in the box and add blockers as needed, which is why you see Feoli-Gudino/Watson or Moore pass blocking sometimes too.

Peach might step into our OL if Greaves is injured, but he wouldn't otherwise. OL is doing very well, nothing is coming through A and B gaps through 2 games and they've only played 2 games as a unit. That is very good. If teams are sending more than 4 or 5 and sending halfbacks, that's not on the OL. Backs and receivers need to pick up those blitzes if that is the protection call, and Willy is sometimes going to get hit or be under pressure when teams blitz.

Austin is on the clock IMO. You make a decision like cutting Burris and bringing in Collaros, you're staking your job to Collaros or one of the young QB's being able to lead your team to at least 2nd place in the East. Personally, I liked that move, but their offence in the first two games is forcing Collaros into playing from weakness simply standing in the pocket. The offence they are running does not fit his strengths, so now that move looks kind of odd. Why bring in a pretty specific type of scrambling QB and then develop an offence that's the opposite? If they don't host a playoff game this year, he's toast.

Everytime I see Lefevour actually get a chance to run a normal offence, not just the wildcat stuff, he looks further away from being a good CFL QB.

Looked to me like the Bombers had the block on pretty consistently when the Ottawa's were punting. Maher also started taking quite a bit off his kicks after Woods return, Ottawa's special teams looked genuinely afraid of the Bombers having something odd on. You could see them lining up man on man on both punt teams, being real careful, which I guess is an effect of having O'Shea as our coach. Renaud had a bad day. No wind, no reason to hit kicks under 40, even for placement. Pretty sure our punt cover guys can cover a 45 yard punt.

I'd much rather our guys tackle properly and wrap up than go for big hits and watch guys like Burris bounce off of them and run for 20 yards at a time or open up a whole side of the field for a pass by rolling off the hit. That's a real bad habit, one that a guy like Willis has, hitting but not tackling.

4th place in the West is probably a better place to end up than 3rd in the West.... The East is truly awful.

Austin should write a book on how to ruin young quarterbacks. This is awful. When is the last time Gable took a handoff?

Perfect example of this is the Craig Butler hit on Pierce in the Banjo Bowl. Hit him in the chest, impact rose up and Pierce's helmet flew off. Did Butler drop his head and launch the crown of his helmet into Buck's jaw? Are you implying that's what Willis did? It's exactly what he did. Initial contact was shoulder, but he knew exactly what he was doing, he's got the paint from Collaros' grill all over the top of his helmet. It was a kill shot, one that probably lost his team the game anyways. It wasn't late, but he drops his right shoulder and head in his last stride before contact, and launches himself into Collaros so when he leaves his feet he drives his head right through Collaros facemask. Kind of funny that it wasn't called given the increased emphasis on headshots regardless of the initial point of contact this season.

Hamilton's OL has settled down somewhat too.

Willis will get the maximum fine for that, but no penalty. Can't lead with your head, especially when you're leading with it into someone's face.

Edmonton's slot was 5 yards offside....

Landon Rice. I played on the provincial team with him my last year of high school when he was in grade 11. That was a pretty good illustration of why you need to pass protect from the inside out. Obviously he's really worried about Sewell just beating him with speed through his outside gap so he's cheating a bit. Huge gap for a potential blitz there too if he keeps that up.
