  1. welcome to the BB bandwagon. Its gonna get crowded as soon as nichols gets a start. Yes masoli is.
  2. Yeah some times a player needs a change of scenery some times management makes the wrong/poor decisions or some times choices just dont work out. g-c is a huge change, its completely different then any other position on the OL. You go from either pulling, pushing up a level to zone block, or most of the time blocking your man one on one, to all of that plus pre snap read, adjusting and calling out blocking assignments, blitz pick up, snapping the ball (snap to gun isnt nearly as easy as it looks) and having to do the switches and helping the guards with there blocks. Knowing when some one is gonna switch and be ready to pick it up etc. Neufeld was a tackle who played 6th man in sask. Like i said its easier for a tackle to play inside then a guard to play out side. He played 9 games last year here filling in at guard. But he's a natural tackle. Chances of us trading for any starter quality OL is few and far between sadly. There isnt much available and what might come available would cost an arm and a leg. Im worried as is that chung will walk at the end of the season. Id love to see us get henoc move mo to S and start an extra imp on the ol. And tbh id have my trigger finger ready as soon as nfl cuts begin to air lift in imp OL.
  3. doesnt mean he can be a consistant snapper, if he could have been there he would have been. Do you recall any of the guys we tried to convert to centre in the last 10 years or so? Havent seen the foot work or quickness from him to play tackle no. Not to mention its very different mechanically. We struggle with in side protection trying to slide a guard out side isnt a good idea. In general tackles can play guards but most guards arent tackles. Neufeld was solid here too before this year. Just couldnt stay healthy. neufeld is a tackle not a guard. Screen passes arent a problem, the lack of run plays is. And as i said, thats walbys opinion. Keeping at centre would improve the team. Hes far from the best centre in the league, but his strengths knowing how and when to switch picking up blitz and communicating such is exactly what goossen is struggling at. Thats the hardest part of playing C. Bond has dressed for one game, as has adams. It says more about our depth at those positions. They have hardly been able to practice for the past month + they are both far from 100% and neither is ready or capable of stepping in and starting.
  4. since when can bond snap? or hardrick play tackle? The same bond who isnt healthy and played 1 half of one pre season game? Paddy neufeld is a proven solid guy. Chung on his own has been good and is a very good ol. Bryant of course. And the injured jeff keeping. The ol plays as less then the sum of its pieces. If bryant or chung was cut today, before the end of the day they would be signed and starting on one of several other teams. And of our four aside from hardick would be starting on another team this year. Keeping too. The problem is they arent playing well together and arent communicating or picking up the blitz. Walby says repeatedly in the pre games on 1290 that these guys need more established run plays and to get to tee off on the D. All the screen passes are still pass pro. They just get steam rolled and worn out.
  5. damned necro posts
  6. if it wasnt for that we'd never have odds n sods. that said i made it about 5 words into this post.
  7. the perfect recollection of DD would be unnecessary roughness roughness penalties.
  8. how many Olines have turned the 2nd best rb in the league last year into a 2 yards per carry guy getting hit in the back field on every other play? the OL has been brutal most of this year. Its a fact not an opinion. The entire offense has been bad, but the OL is allways the primary limiting factor in the cfl. Depth picks hit, its the nature of a draft. Thats like every team in the nfl passing on tom brady 6-7 times.
  9. wes lysack scott regimbald and joe first half flemming. never forget. wick makes me think of antonio armstrong. Talk about here today gone tomorrow. Randy "fum"bowles troy mills and eric blount for splitting touches with charles roberts. brendan ayenbadejo not good enough to start here but one year iirc in bc after leaving our sts for a chance to start and he had a nice nfl career. yvenson bernard antonio brown mr ncaa d1 track star with 4.18 speed. Had one great leaping catch i wanna say from tee martin. joe morgan a vaunted prospect from the supplemental draft by way of south florida. arjei franklin the heir apparent at one point for NI wr. and of course my favorite name of the flash in the pans chiijoke onyenegecha
  10. good coverage is PI these days. Lookin at the wr? thats a PI. thinkin bout hittin the wr? thats a pi. get pushed off by the wr? oh you bet thats a PI.
  11. every game we lose whole team has to sit in front of that picture of him laid out naked on a fur in front of the fire. never lose again.
  12. doesnt matter how mobile you are when the pressure comes straight up the gut with your feet set at the snap in a shot gun or pistol formation. Also running qbs tend to take more damage then pocket passers.
  13. Thats the big one. Toronto who most recently did it best mixed in match zone and zone blitzs a lot too. You gotta have wrinkles. All of which our D lacks. If we didnt gap cancel to try and stop the run our front would get better pressure though.
  14. mack came into a considerably better team then walters. and it evaporated quickly to say the least. Who after harris? jamaal westerman you know the guy who was 2nd in the league in sacks last year as a rookie. No team has been built through free agency? The argos with doug flutie would beg the differ. How much of that hammy team is free agents? What about ottawa turning into a contender right away with free agency? Teams make off season power shifts through free agency all the time. Walters was one of the guys, what you can clearly see is the way we drafted under mack is completely different to how we draft under walters. How many guys do we have sitting in the nfl hoping to trickle down form walters? How many from mack? How many mack draftees are on the roster?

    idk about wrasslers but brock sure has it. and ncaa wrestlers too. Even big country was once trim and had stamina. At the regional combine he put up a 4,6 40 at 285 pounds and 40+ reps of 225. at the big combine he ran 4.7 and not as many reps.
  16. agree. Its a good move by the nba.

    Thats the truth ive seen members of his family, not jacked but big ass people. gassing wasnt his problem, it was recovering from getting rocked / chin that haunted him in the past. Hes got loads of stamina. Hunt is like big country when he blows that initial steam at you if you survive it gets much easier. Hunts much better at 2nd wind and recovery but big countrys jaw is some marvel stuff. If brock was to fight some one like JDS or arlovski we would see that in effect again. Especially with jds.

    Casually watched some wwf in attitude era but that was it so i cant really say. But from his last year wrestling in college to ufc 1.0 to now he isnt much different in size or shape. I think the novelty has warn off on you. Hes by no means just a run of the mill strong guy. Watching him fight hunt his quickness is still un real.
  22. gotten rid of by other teams with little to no interest coming to the worst team as a last ditch effort and becoming all stars. This happens all the time though, guys are constantly reflushed from other teams pre season cuts, tc guys etc.
  23. Yeah I remember that catch. Also some thing jones at wr. we picked him from torontos PR iirc and started him in the east semi. Had like 200 yards receiving was brought back the next year to do nothin. Good to hear about kingsbury. Never head about timmy chang wouldnt surprise me though. Scott hands of stone cloman comes to mind too.
  24. Coleman and nash were cut and had several very productive years here. Coleman was cut and went to xfl. Bc looked on paper to have won the deal for khari when it happened but it turned out not even close in our favor. He certainly fell through the cracks for them. Bolden and sellers were both productive nfl players cut, came here had some great performances here and then moved back down to the nfl to be even more productive. Bolden was excellent in atlanta before returning here at the end of his career and sellers was a multi time pro bowler.
  25. teams that had guys fall through the cracks.
