July 27, 20177 yr comment_279224 Jones isn't wrong. But basically what he is saying, is that his offence doesn't do the same because he has too much respect for the game. No, Chris, you aren't doing it because you didn't think of it first. I think teams have the responsibility to push the boundaries of the rules, and if it's a problem, then they can change the rules. You can't rely on teams to play within the "spirit" of the rules out of sportsmanship. This is pro football.

I hope to see our receivers falling down on every play from now on too. Make a joke out of it and the league will have to do something about it. Have a receiver that is the third or fourth read just run into someone

Have a receiver that is the third or fourth read just run into someone the thing is, even if they fall down or flop, it can be reviewed and overturned. We've seen that happen already as well.

They are ever ready to signal the Coach for a challenge and their spotters are vigilant in that regard. Any minor offence, away from the play, is duly noted and relayed to Dickenson in case they need a call. I can't go as far as Jones has stated, but it doesn't seem too far off the mark. This is result of these 'fishing calls' that I'm sure Calgary leads the league in. It's tiring and shouldn't be part of this otherwise highly entertaining sport. What doesn't make sense to me is using these challenges so early in the game, Dickenson seems to want to get them out of the way instead of using them strategically. Last W.E. didn't he use a challenge on the first play of the game?
July 27, 20177 yr comment_279334 An interesting read: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/07/27/ferguson-trend-team-2017s-quarter-mark/ We're 4th in the league and above average in run %. And we grade out top in QB protection.

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280394 So what happened with McDuff? Did we not want him? Not offer enough?

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280400 Maybe we figured we are fine with a mixture of Lankford, Fogg and Thorpe who was a renowned kick return specialist in college...I'm not too concerned over this non signing...we have other areas where I would hope if a chance for an upgrade comes up we jump at

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280403 For sure they would have reached out to him, but probably didn't feel the need to overpay based on our current set up...which is fine.
August 1, 20177 yr comment_280406 I know he is a popular whipping boy for some, but honestly what is wrong with Lankford? Yeah there was the one fumble but the guy seems to be doing his job at both returning kicks and backing up the receiver position.

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280409 He just needs to hit a seam or whole and hit it hard...at times he dances around too much and lets the coverage swallow him up. Don't think..just exploit
August 1, 20177 yr comment_280410 but that seems to be something that people always complain about with returners here the last few years.
August 1, 20177 yr comment_280411 I hope Ottawa paid a lot for him. Can't catch punts, makes a 2 turnovers/bad decisions that bury you in field position game for every big return. Not too worried about "missing out" on McDuffie.

Lankford has played well. I really liked him. I guess occasional cement hands is what did him in here. In his current role he has be great. I guess time will tell if he can ever be a starter on offense. McDuffie just isn't reliable enough to be starter catching the ball, which makes how much I would pay him a limited amount. Bombers made the right move by not making a move here. Nothing to gain in this case
August 1, 20177 yr comment_280424 Lankford has caught the ball well, as a receiver. Still think there is plenty of room to expand T.J. Thorpe's role as we move on.......

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280431 Guess we feel we have better....Fogg and Langford are decent so not a real loss..Thought he liked it here and the players....guess money could've been a deciding factor...

August 1, 20177 yr comment_280434 We currently sit 2nd in kickoff return average, and 3rd in punt return average. Ottawa happens to be 8th in kickoff return average. Ryan Lankford currently sits in 1st place KR with an average of 27.3 and he fit in nicely in the last game in a position he MADE himself familiar with. This was according to Matt Nichols. He's doing what he has to do to stay on the roster. Would the exchange (McDuffie for Lankford) really have been worth it?
August 1, 20177 yr comment_280439 McDuffie totally would have been worth it - he was a very capable receiver when we needed him.... would have been great replacement for Dressler if he's injured I doubt very much McDuffie signed for big bucks... probably a few bonuses thrown in Nothing wrong with having more than two returners on a team
