**** any curlers that aren't from Manitoba... I'm as patriotic as anyone, but man was I rooting for anyone other than Jacobs and Homan. Fart noises.

No answer for a blitz because 5 blockers on the line can't block 6/7. Bring a running back up or a slot to block then you take away offensive choices & weapons. The qb has no one to throw to & gets sacked. It still works today. We see the best teams doing it in both leagues. What';s even better? Creating pressure with just 4 pass rushers like we used to do & the guys on the back end don't have to blitz.

Second and long. 5 DBs, bring the house! It was at the point where every commentator was noticing it, but opposing O's still had no answer for it. I DON'T WANT A RECEIVER...TO CROSS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE!

worked for don mathew’s for an unfathomable length of time

Crosby practices with Team Canada, could play in gold med...Captain missed semifinal win Friday with lower-body injury; Morrissey ruled outLooks like Morrissey is out. Man I hope he's not injured too badly.

I grew up watching curling in the 80's - lots of spice back then, but of course they were usually drunk by the 6th end. Eddie Werenich - the Wrench!! Al "(The Ice man) Hackner. Eddie Lukowich. The good old days. I don't believe that curling was an Olympic sport back then, as we would have dominated that era for sure.

My hypothetical DC resume would just be me screaming a quote from Remember The Titans “YOU BLITZ, ALLLLL NIGHT LOOONNNNG” So yeah, hanging on to my day job probably the wise move…

I’d bring the house on every second play hence why i call plays from my couch and not on the sidelines.

Insert Canadian Flag emoji :) Curling had a bit of spice to it this Olympics! My mom and dad were huge curling fans and players, not sure how they would have reacted to the spice. :)

Like him more than I did..that being said stixk him at safety as a true over top guy...he's a waif and gets out muscled and isnt a strong tackler...thats why he gets targeted lots...hed be a killer int machine at safety if his eyes are as good as these fancy feet we here about Our secondary save for Nichols and Griffen were a right bunch of wussies who installed zero fear in anyone

I hardly ever watch curling, but I could not take my eyes off that game. And a well deserved bronze for the Finns in hockey

That was a curling slugfest. Nail-biter for sure! Good to see Canada prevail.

you can, but blitzing is hard and strange in the cfl. The more guys you have that are reliable in coverage, like you said, you can do any ting and every thing better. D today is all about how well you can blanket with out breaking, and how well you can disrupt at the line. If a guy isn’t one of those or a guy who heavily enables others to do that easier, they aren’t an asset on the field. Just a body filling a spot. If you can take away over the top routes with out a massive bubble, you can run up and play the ball or the man and disrupt the pass too. Guys who can do both are worth their weight in championship rings. Guys like ba, biggie, and wj in their prime. jy/hall love versatile cover guys. Makes every one’s life much easier I wouldn’t be surprised if we find another db this year. We got lots of good vets, but we scout db and use them really well.

I think you can count on the Bombers not running a smurf at boundary corner this year. They've got Allen plus 5 other guys 6'1 plus, two with CFL experience, coming into camp at DB. No more watching a 5'9 guy with no ability to play the ball eat **** on 50-50 balls vs 6'3-6'4 receivers.

Jacobs brings home the gold.

‘Happy to be able to be with such a great fan base’ – Winnipeg Free Press @Booch I am pretty remember you're not high on Holms before.

I can see him at corner game 1..unless another Alford drops outta nowhere I say this knowing osh and how he is..and will favour the vet if he had access to one Sure he played Alford and Nichols immediately but had to...we had no vets and open spots..Holm too was due to injury... If that was training camps with old vets ...we would never have mentioned Nichols or Holm..again..and Alford wouldnt be in the NFL now Wasn't Holm actually cut...and then brought back cause of injuries?

He either makes it or not.

Lamont is a player that gives us options, hed played safety corner and halfback If we decide to move Allen to corner Lamont could step in at safety. If we pr him.he could back up several positions. At only 27 it should raise the competition level as well. Really a low risk signing

Dammit Josh isn't gonna play

How many times last year did us running a three man front get us the results we wanted?

i think we could be a very good pressure defense with four & five man fronts stopping the run & sacking the qb. I think we expose our defense to big plays if Jordan Younger runs a 3 man front & blitzes. We saw it with Detroit with four man fronts in the NFL playoffs 2 years ago. They ate the other team's OL & spit them out. We saw it in the Super Bowl with Seattle vs the left side of the Pats OL. Pressure & intimidation wins all the time. We had a pressure front 4/5 in 2019 & 21. We were physically scary & dominated to the point the overhyped Ti Cats just quit in 2019. They were beaten & broken team. Oh & look, we also won two championships those years. Then we changed Defensive Coordinators & went to a 3 man front with no pressure from the DL. Wbbfan called it a Cheetah front. i called it Cheetos. Yeah, we didn't give up a lot of points as the back 8 or 9 played well. No coincidence we also didn't win & lost 3 straight Grey Cups. If the Bombers had signed another interior DL in free agency, I'd have said they're invested in creating havoc up front like in 2019 & 21. I don't think Younger is that kind of DC. He wants to beat you through trickery & disguises on the back end. I'm not a big fan of that type of defense. I want smash mouth football where we own both sides of the LOS. Havoc & intimidation. It's more than proven to work.

I would imagine if a DC has more reliable cover guys, he can than make more use of pressure packages / blitzes
