C'mon man, you gotta know where you are on the field

 

 

BC clearly was in command in this game. 38 minutes in possession time and 547 in total offence. They only had 2 sacks on Kevin Glenn, but they hit him and pressured him. THAT'S how you beat Glenn. This was easily Glenn's worst game of the year. He never looked comfortable and never got in rhythm. 

I don't know who will be QB for Sask. when next we meet, or even if they will be in contention, but if it's Glenn, then we have a nice blueprint to follow.

Riders have a lot of athletic projects out there........just not enough football players.

I heard a rumour that Jones didn't want you as a poster as Riderfans because he didn't like your measureables.

And then looked to the ref to flag it!

Or loop it with video from last year of the two Rider DBs who ran into each other while trying to unsuccessfully defend a TD....Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk

I was surprised that the ref didn't throw a flag on the goalpost and demand it be moved back 10 yards.

Some folks over there, don't like the cut of my jib (or jest).... but I can provide some veteran guile ....and can drink more gin, than Jones.

I heard a rumour from Jones that Lulay and Matt Bucknor ****ed an ostrich.  I have yet to confirm if it was a sick ostrich.

Glad he wasn't seriously injured. His pride hurt more than anything else. 

Can't even run a proper coverage scheme, on a goalpost.   Sad.

Blue Bomber flanker Ken Nielsen ran into the goalpost at full speed looking back attempting to catch a pass from Ron Lancaster in the 1970 CFL All Star game. He suffered a serous neck injury & IIRC never played again. Ended his career. So while it seems funny, it's also dangerous. It's a wonder it doesn't happen more often.

True, about that goalpost.    First Bomber jersey I wore, was of the good doctor.    Hands of gold.   When a Rider accomplishes this, uninjured......still pretty funny.

Fairly confident that the padding used now is a whole lot better than the stuff used in the '70's.

Yeah, I'm sure it is. Just like Field Turf is better than the original Astro & Tartan Turf. Still though players need to keep their heads on a swivel around the goalpost.

Nah, don't like to see anyone get hurt regardless of who they play for. 

At one time it was legal to use the goalpost as a screen.  Teams would run a pass or run right beside the goalpost effectively  cutting off ways for defensive players to get to the ball.  At the same time defenses could use the goalposts to assist in tackling players & squashing  offensive players up against the goalposts. I've seen pictures of that very thing. That would be the 40's & 50's. It's strange to see how football used to be played way back in the day.

You should probably stop watching football then because I'm thinking that compared to running into a heavily padded goalpost, there's way more chance of injury colliding with a human missile, something that happens each and every play somewhere on the field.

That's not what I said... You know that. Everyone else knows that. And I'll keep watching, thanks. But I appreciate your concern.
