We’ve been using heavy set 11 and 21 forms since before the 19 gc.
It wasn’t a man scheme either, you can see the double to kola he just couldn’t get over so they closed gaps.
Eli did do a great job switching to outside leverage and walling off for Brady to kick out. That’s the tremendous stuff he can do especially in the run game.
Honestly we see it a lot in the cfl these days. Teams unprepared for fits with unexpected motion and formations. Which leads to massive rush games. The narrowing of the hash marks forced defensive shifts to cover more on the wide side.
I firmly believe the future has tremendous opportunities for teams running 21/22 forms with tes motioning on and off the line, waggling, and a wing type doing the jet/comet motion and screens. Teams don’t have the personnel to defend larger run fits or larger slot players.

Keys to the game
keep the ol play level up. Vanterpool out and paddy a little knicked, our ol needs to keep growing and improving can’t step back now.
Old zach back. He looked a lot better in pre season/camp than much of last year, need to see peak Zach this year and a good start will go a long way.
Limit the big plays. Last week B.C. dug out from the verge of a blow out with big plays.
players to watch Cooley/Peterson, vaval, bridges, Parker, zach, Wallace.

Kornelson also took reps at end last game I believe
He did, as did our kid from the riffles.

I thought in the second game Bailey looked good. Recall at least one play where he caused a lot of pressure leading to a sack by another Bomber player. Do I have a huge number of reference points? No but more than Weitz.
Off topic but did either Shay or J.Smith get any reps on D?
I want to say second half of 2nd game he got a decent bit of burn and was really effective. Back to back pressures one with power one with speed that really impressed.

I see Tony Jones has become one of the new whipping boys for some reason. I know we had prime Bighill here for many years but Tony Jones is a damn good linebacker.
Jones is one of the best run stop lbers, but well below par for pass d. Kyrie is shot.
Jones isn’t close to the heap pile guys. He’s just sub optimal.
Best case is probably tj plays run downs comes off in most pass downs unless it’s short distance. Jjones is better straight up.  
It’s just strange to get jjones and be married to tjones.- rebusrankin, BigBlueFanatic and Booch

He was a menace on teams blowing people up...I sure he will
Like to see him back on kickoffs with Vaval
Just more of the same osh man rush crap that makes zero sense.
Sure it may not kill us...but it again takez away the ability to roster our best roster...and eliminate any valuable experience to our actual guys who can play and then when really needed they arent green and prone to errors...like we have seen the refusal to play them as I sure part of reason because they not 100 percent comfortable with them so we play a positional group with zero depth...or injured guys who are useless...and we all have seen the results of that thinking when it mattered most
Cooley has that dog in him, as the kids would say. Haven’t seen an imp rb with powerful size and that mentality in a while. They guy is not going to be a joy to try and tackle.
At some point some one probably tries to lower the boom on him and ends up picking up their own teeth.7 minutes ago, blue85gold said:I don't get it either. Maybe Bailey is taking a bit of time to understand where he needs to be and what he needs to do and doesn't have their trust yet? He is fresh out of school.
That’d normally be a good bet, but dl don’t generally get that. Last year adams came out of low levels of ncaa with a couple days at camp then played ps and quickly was playing heavy reps.

shocked he was back this yr actually....Mauro offered us more than Weitz and we let him walk for whatever reason
I liked what Vanterpool gave us...but that being said Wallace has showed he can play and belongs....helps our roster ratio wise and at this point needs to play and grow..so I'm ok with it. Vanterpool definately is part of the future tho...and imagine the options if Manu lands in our lap next yr...it's his make or break this yr down south...so could happen
If we designate 2 Canadians for ratio on defense and 5 on offence then Cooley can come in freely and be in a split backfield with Peterson so like that option.
If Wallace fares well, Cooley continues to show what he did, we could possibly see BO....Cooley....Peterson...MCI all on roster for game 3...be an interesting group of guys in your RB group for Hogan and Jackson, and imagine Logan added to that mix in Vaval spot if they go that route
I believe they benched Maruo for free lancing on teams when we were running some really bad cover schemes.
I liked him better too. I mean, he’s a cfl sts caliber end of the roster guy. Weitz is tcf.
Yeah I’m pretty torn on being bummed that vanterpool is out but excited that Wallace gets the start.
This is a big test for hogan early. Let’s see how he used an offensive di, and a bench guy whose a threat.

Thank Thor they dressed another Lber! lol
Vanterpool off sucks. Glad wallace is getting a look. Normally, Itd be good to be down to 1 back up OL, but if neuf is banged up to this would've been the case to carry the extra. Glad big kev was good to go.
Look forward to seeing Cooley in game action. Hopefully, we use a decent few snaps, not like wasted DI's in the past.
Roster mehnagement is same level as last week over all.
On a side note, I know we love the odd big run by strev in the goal line, and the strev package that we don't use any more. But at this point, I'd like to see wilson do the short yardage and strevy treated like a qb2.
2 minutes ago, Booch said:Bailey is good on teams...Weitz is also just a teams player and that's it...and isn't elite at it...so why bother
Bailey has legit defensive reps ability and we only have 2 true ends dressed...no depth there at all but we have 11 linebackers...
Snafu
I bet Weitz isn't here next year.

Yeah...its not hard to navigate it...every other team does
Its Osh trying to make his point as he was one of the only people against the rule..didnt want it....doesn't like it...so doesn't use it to prove his disdain..and not to the betterment of his team...he needs to park his bias
Pretty sure big Kev is good to go...Maybe punter guy is gonna sit in lieu of Bailey...if it's for the Weitz...then again...stupid stupid roster move again...prob another coach's favorite play..we have enough LB's and that particular one offers nothing...and can't take defensive reps...hope this not the case
Yeah, I don’t want us to cheat but damn it’s like an al team not using the dh because of ethics reasons.
hope so, we need him and its a great opportunity right now for him.
Bailey would be great, plus Sergio doing both jobs. But I might die or surprise if it actually happened.

Any update on punter guy…is he back on the AR?
Nope, probably won’t be any until the roster is set.
I suspect it’s just temporary until the new one game ir is set.
Big Kev is banged up, hopefully he’s ok we are super thin at ni wr. -

And it's stupid they don't...what point he trying to prove is a mystery
And he yip yaps about everyone here as they give us a chance to win...yet continues to play the walking wounded...so obviously he is lying or full of **** but back it up if u gonna say it
Yup...as it's was a poor version of what we could have rostered
Arbuckler took what was there..played within himself and their game plan was tailored for him to basically succeed if he was smart about it and patient..and he was
Is it really too hard to use with in the rules? Or are we that high and mighty?
Serious question, if we turned back the clock to the beginning of the DI rule, would we ignore that rule?
It feels like arrogance. Like we will win with who ever we run out, and that Canadians are as good as Americans and depth guys are as good as stars.
Drives me crazy.
1 hour ago, Piggy 1 said:I cringe when i watch these pressers, sometimes i wonder how the HELL he won this many games.
I can’t watch him in pre game or post game etc. And that’s fine, that and coaches show generally are tailored to a different type of fan than me. Just like the Tait interview video they did with zach etc. those fans need and deserve stuff too. Thought I felt the Zach one was particularly unhinged.
I watch some of these and it’s basically our only insight into injuries and I’m not on instatwittertok etc.

no sarcasm, I think the better the football coach the worst the interview/post game type stuff.
1 hour ago, Arnold_Palmer said:Probably a smart decision from B.C, rib injury can be one of those long term lingering injuries, it’s a long season, no point risking further injury.
It’s a long ass season, he had a bad year last year. If it was me, I’d park his ass till he’s 100%. You can ruin a qb playing them while struggling and injured.

No on said scared of Masoli, said, rather play rourke. I dont think rourke has a hope of beating us.
What's it like as a coach balancing all these new designations...
Mos "The good thing about our team is we don't even mess around with it."
Well, you can't break the rules, right? Some guys only get so many snaps..
"Yeah, I we don't even venture down that road. So we wouldn't worry about breaking the rules because we're dont even enter into that conversation, never is a long time, but we haven't yet."
What do you think about the rules
"I don't think about it."
Some people have asked if we use the designations and just don't announce it, and debated about it, but here it is from the horse's mouth. We don't use the extended roster flexibility that every other team in the league does.
6 minutes ago, Bigblue204 said:He did exactly what he had to do. Took what they gave him, took a couple chances that worked out and didn't make big time mistakes. His defence did the rest and controlled the game start to finish basically.
Arbuckles' game would've been better than Zach's usual playoff performance level here, which is very, very sad.

Lol I love that ending, that was one of the best gcs in modern times imo.

Really? I'm not sure how effective Masoli is at this point.
Yeah me either. He has played us tough though. Rourke hasn’t ever. Masoli still has that lightning fast release, you can get into a lot of trouble blitzing him, and if he’s still got any thing left he can take what the D gives as well.
I’m not sweating Masoli, but I expect us to slap rourke around. I always worry about guys off the bench, if we prep for Masoli that is helpful.

Was he really though? The few plays that I did see his names he had free access to the QB and still couldn't make the play.
He wasn’t excellent, but he was solid to good till late. He did wear down some late.
think I’d rather us play rourke that Masoli.

Those are only their best bets for betting, not their picks for all games (not sure why doing 4 games is too much). They did the same thing the last couple weeks.
They did screw up the week # in the link but the webpage says week 3 (at least now it does).
They did a best bets for every game but ours lol. Either they didn’t care or forgot. it’s not normal to give bet tips and picks on every game but one.

Where does cfl.ca find these muppets??
Top plays in CFL Fantasy at every position for Week 3 - CFL.ca
Choosing Adams Jr, Alexander, and Ford ahead of Collaros for fantasy purposes this week is certainly one of the choices off all time.
His receiver picks are good for a laugh too.
3dumbnation doesn't seem to know if it is week 2, or 3 and either way they dont have us playing.

For my generation, Ed is the Gold Standard of CFL beat writers and a wildly underrated contributor to the CJOB Pre Game Show. Randy Turner is the all time best print columnist. With respect to everyone out there doing the job right now, it all pales to the level of writing we were spoiled with in the late 90s and early 00s...
I think that goes for any generation, sport, league, city. I don't think you could find a better duo of news beat guys. You could find as good combos, but not better.

Dane Evans had all the tools physically but his toolbox (head) was empty. He couldn't handle the pressure of being "The Guy". I don't think I ever saw a pro qb just melt into a huge blob as a player in front of our eyes. It was sad to watch.
Arbuckle should be playing much better & not make such bonehead throwing errors but he still does. If he hasn't got it by now then he never will. How the **** did we ever lose to that sack of ****? How embarassing.
Yeah, a lot of getting past the sophmore struggles is about mental toughness and desire. Evans never had that, or got it. Dru brown made his bones that way, I think thats a big reason why he should have the best year of the 3 if healthy.
12 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said:In the GC, Arbuckle looked like the next break out star & now KABOOM!!!! The floor had just dropped out & his stock as a viable CFL qb is falling fast.
I didn't think he played that great, I thought we played and executed that poorly. He was in the perfect situation. If we did every thing the same, I think they would've beaten us with just about any qb with starting experience.
8 hours ago, Nolby said:A strong Dline would've kept that game far closer
Truth. Also a stronger OL. If we had the argos level of coaching/execution, we would've won in a blow out with our roster though.

yeah, being a good interview / conversation host is a whole skillset.
you can't just plug in an athlete into that spot like you can plug an RB in at WR.
Good point that’s why the pbp plus color commentator is such an iconic combination across all sports. The ones who also converse well are the gold standard. like pti on Epsn is peak sports conversation.
Tait is fantastic at writing articles that really get to the heart of a persons story. His piece on hardrick years back was incredible, parts of it are still vivid in my mind. It’s different still in conversation.

Bombers at BC SUCKS GDT

He’s a real unique type. Hes 5’7 220+ and has explosive quickness with decent gears.
Hes soo compact and strong, he gives such a small target for defenders, and he’s as strong as most lbers he will face. Hes well set up to over power half the guys on the field on any play.
He has great patience and vision to not just find his lane and hit cutbacks but he can take him self off angle at the last second. Which boosts his power but also can keep him healthy.
We gotta teach the guy to catch passes and field punts. Because he’s got a whole lot of special in his game.
