Not what I meant. They are rostering others who are almost spectators. The rookies won't be busting their butts much longer either.

When Owen Hubert replaced Willy he was getting penetration. Fayad got more pressure. Yes Willy prob being double teamed but if you focus on him on some plays, he’s not really trying even. It appears he just isn’t interested in engaging. Like neufeld against Ottawa.

  • At this point I just feel sad for BA... I absolutely loved that guy in his prime. He's roasted and toasted. 

  • Week 1:  Jake 38 (of 54), Tanner 5 Week 2:  Jake 59 (of 60), Tanner 31

A guy once told me that if a receiver can get his hand on it at all, then he should have caught it....... Now who the hell was it that told me.................

Fingertips =/= hands

The play calling at the end of the half was jacked up. Running into the line with 11 seconds left basically conceded the TD.  Weird call. 

I got no beef with the call to cancel the last second showing; the clock clearly started late on the final play of the half.  It looked bush league suspicious to me, real homer timekeeping.

So angry! You run you're clearly playing for the field goal... so why try and pass with 5 seconds left?

I really don’t think a lack of interest/effort was the issue. I think he had accepted that he couldn’t beat a double team, so was sitting back trying to bat down balls.

So my almost 3 year old heard me talking to her Grandpa about the game on the phone this morning. 


“What is punter dad?”

“Something bad that the Blue Bombers have. They’ve got a bad punter. He’s the man that kicks the football the way I showed you. It’s called a punter, and he’s a bad punter”

”Oh, Bluebommers have a bad punter” 

”Yes sweetie, that’s right. Your Gramdfather is probably a better one, and he’s 70”

”And Mommy is better punter than bluebombers?” 

”Yes, That’s probably right too” 

“And Jenny (our collie cross) is better punter than Bluebombers?”

It went on for about a half hour, with literally every name she knows. 

I’m building another one of us…

Perhaps but I concentrated on him a couple times and it appeared he wasn’t doing much of anything. Really did give neufeld against Ottawa vibes.  At one point I thought it looked like the jets players quitting on Dave Lowry. This was first half. No doubt tho Thomas being basically a waste of a spot doesn’t help tho.

He has the lowest punt average in the league and it looks like the Bombers have the lowest net average as well.

@DTonOB Do you have the net punt average for teams from this year? I couldnt find the info at any website that I checked. 

 

CFL official through Week 2:

EDM 42.5
TOR 42.3
HAM 38.8
MTL 38.4
CGY 38.3
SSK 38.1
OTT 33.7
WPG 33.1
BC 32.3

Adjusted for field position I have Sheahan being dead last through two weeks...4.3 net yards below average per punt.

I got a kick out of was it the color guy. He said something about well big play upcoming and mentioned bighill being a guy who will shut it down. Next play bighill nowhere to be found. 
 

it’s not rust after 3 games. 

I know. I honestly think they can and will get much better than that. I just couldn’t help the dumb pun

Good 

1. Andre Proulx for being the most entertaining official in the history of pro sports. 
2. Demski, the only veteran worth his pay tonight. 
3. Fayed. He’s a keeper. 
 

HH. Hubert. Late round Canadian playing above and beyond any expectation. 
 

Bad

1. Younger. This **** ain’t working. 

2. Bighill. Love him, totally respect everything he’s done for this organization. Totally finished as a player. 

3. MOS. We’ve all said it and read it. This is really bad. 
 

Crappy Honker- TSN ignoring an injury to a league superstar to talk about what number Keric Wheatfall likes. 

Not a one. Best players on D tonight were Bonds, Hubert and Fayed. 
 

Absolutely agree with your 3 stars and the HH. At the start of the game I was wondering who this new d'lineman was. They ran outta team roster handouts so all I got was that he was a Canadian kid. Played great, pass knockdown and tons of energy. A keeper!

I was not expecting much from Schmek or Hubert....but thus far Schmek. may be the most improved from last year and Hubert in a small sample impressed the heck outta me....side not, Wallace has also impressed....we may in the future look back on some really good value draft picks

As far as I could tell Schmeck barely got any snaps, did not see Jake ever leave the field.  I'm no "Jake hater" but the amount of reps him and Willie are taking right now makes no sense.
