For argument: Was it Woogie's best game of the year, or just the game he was targeted the most, and therefore ended up with more noticeable plays/stats? I feel like, game in and game out, he's very consistent, but is used so often as a decoy and a blocker. Tonight his number was called more often and he rewarded Buck/ZC8 for it. 

Also, I don't like this idea that it's a surprise Leggs is having a great year. He was an inconsistent rookie last year, sure, but he kicked like 93% in college and holds CIS records. I'm not the least bit surprised he's back to normal....

1. Woli - has been consistently reliable all season, great to see him jump off the stats page too. On pace for close to his best season.

2. Brady - seems to have turned the corner is running angry.

3. Rose/Houston - corners on lock down 

HH - Grant - game finishing return TD, but earlier than that had 3 tackles on the first two INTs and the fumble. Only chance the Als had to win to was to take those to the house.

Truth 

For all the great returners this year Grants was the first punt return TD of the year. The blocking unit on that play should get some credit on that play you could of driven a mack truck through that hole.

The more direct and physical approach has elevated his game.   Great production, using his blockers and barging through holes.  Gives the O, the needed balance out there

2. Wolitarsky
Has come up with some key catches the last number of weeks. 

3.  Rose
Was dumping on him a bit earlier......but positioning wise, looked a lot like the ole Rose.

Honk.
Rutledge
This dude has great range and looks like a vet out there.   Good find.

Honk
Houston
Getting tested big time and passing most of them

Honk
Grant.  His punt return TD broke the Als backs.    Interesting to see if we can refine him on O

 

Agreed on Houston. dude should have at least 5 picks by now.

Brady is running like Marshawn Lynch light. He's been punishing DB's and safeties at the end of runs the last 2 games. Loving it! Hopefully weve found our running game! Scary thought!

Really liking the combo of Woli and Schoen, bringing back memories of Poplawski and House when they were our dynamic receiving duo.  On that one grab Woli made on the sidelines I almost got shivers, thought I was watching old Joe back in action again.

Something I was thinking when watching the game… does Woli drop anything? Like ever?… the guy has some of the best hands in the league… put it near him and he’ll catch it… just need to start giving him the ball more often… not to mention everything he does in the run and blocking game… just an absolute under-the-radar stud

Seen him drop passes plenty.... just it's when the db has a play on the ball and he's knocking it away. Which is a good thing. Guy doesn't volley passes up, either he's getting it or no one is.

did anyone catch the real crucial block that Woli threw on the Bailey TD?  Montreal blitzed their halfback and he was headed at Collaros untouched at full sprint -- Woli, who is  on the other side of the formation, books it across the line to get there just in time to steer the HB away. If ZC is one-on-one with the blitzing halfback that's probably not a touchdown.

meanwhile ZC is completely undistracted by all this.  He does a little matador step away, emerges untouched from the potential pileup, and spies Bailey for 7. Just a real great team play.  I can't believe how good at football the Bombers are.
