Breaking news, Willy Jefferson has officially been elected as the new mayor of Swaggerville. He ran un opposed and was anointed in an over night ceremony by Odell Willis.

Thing about the heisman is out side of the top 5 or so you could have probably 20 guys with a similar chance in the pre season to fill out the last 5 spots. Most of what I see out side of SI is betting pages not football pages. Which could be skewed. Idk maybe cincinati fans like to bet home side like the riders. https://sportsnaut.com/heisman-watch-2021/ https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/heisman-trophy/ https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/college-football/heisman-trophy-odds/ https://lastwordonsports.com/collegefootball/2021/09/09/2021-week-one-heisman-rankings/ https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/2021-heisman-trophy-power-rankings-bryce-young-cj-stroud-week-1

I know, we just need time to gel!

Rattler is the favorite or top 2 on most peoples boards. But Ive seen ridder ranked in the top 10 on a bunch of pages for winning the heisman, and ive seen him projected as a potential late first round pick. His athleticism and skill set are in pretty big demand right now in the NFL. His consistency and accuracy are his biggest red flags but hes the type of guy nfl teams would be willing to sit on in development through 2 tcs. Seems like a long term prospect to me.

2 back up dbs is what I think is ideal. 1 guy for dime and rotation, 1 guy for a true back up. Its easy for 1 guy to get pulled for the game for concussion protocol. Especially at wr/db. Imagine if it was one of darby or BA that went down too. If hallett is down for a bit (I hope he isnt) I wonder if derek jones is in shape. Our teams are hurting with all the backers n ends we carry and we've gotten a lot of production from NI dbs on teams. Thats true, I think its more of a league issue. I know things need to normalize and financially get out of the critical zone. But maybe as soon as for next year (if the gambling revenue ends up being what was predicted) the league should extend the rosters. I think 3 or 4 spots would be good. Minimum 1 more qb. The 2 qb thing is silly and dangerous. The last thing the league needs is for a game to be played with a majority of the time an out of position player at QB. Extra db, extra wr and room for one more guy. Probably 1 more imp and 2 or 3 NIs. I wouldnt mind 2 back up globals but I think the rest of the league is too far behind the curve with nothing but punters for globals.

It's the whole season so far. The long time with out football has us out of shape. Threads derailing every where. Don't worry we will get it fixed in time for the off season.

Hallet at s for ba is a big drop off. A 2nd injury or the dime package with 1 injury would mean Nelson is in coverage. We saw two dbs go down in 2019. It's also if some one needs a breather. Ba returns a pick 80 yards for a td the d goes right back out. I get why we can't have even depth I think it's more a league thing.

I know. Nearly all will see rotational reps in the front 7 though to keep the main guys fresh. The dbs and wrs don't get that though. And we are an injury away from a pretty big down grade. 2 from being dicked

we got 10 guys backing up 7 dl/lber spots. And we got 3 guys backing up 11 wr/db spots. Yep that seems about the usual.

They start out as gotch, but if you dont change em they make you itch and turn into gitch.

Depth chart is out. Rocquemore is back in, and dheilly draws in with him. Nelson surprisingly stays in at KR. Better luck next time. Briggs is still listed as the starter with 8 NIs. Couture is also still listed as starting C, I guess thatll be a game day decision and decide which OL is our scratch.

I love the irony. Especially after the jones era when the riders had a rype group of convicts and ped users. I remember the UFC trying to test wanderlei silva and him jumping out a 2nd story window and running away bare foot in his gitch. I choose to imagine AC had a melon hat and rider pride gitch and did the same thing. Speedy b has been missing since the bombers deleted him in the GC.

For me Id call an RPO (run pass option). Inside or outside zone run with an audible to switch from one to the other. One wr in isolation (lawler) on one side and trips to the other side. He can run an option route where he either finds the soft spot in the zone, or runs a deep double move in single coverage. Thing about zone cover is if you run deep enough it becomes man or youre wide open. The isolation also helps to expose the Ds cover scheme to an extent (Instead of just with motion), or play a hybrid man and zone. On the trips side if the defense stacks the box you can flex the TE (eli) out to wr and throw a screen pass with darvin, woli, and eli blocking. If they show Double or even S shade to lawler or play cover 3 you run the ball. You can even motion woli in for extra blocking or have him run to block a Lber. You can run portions or all of the snag concept in the RPO to create a quick high percentage throw on the 3 wide side. If the dbs stack up front you go over the top of them. If the HB/hbs stay deep you have a big screen play advantage. If the D cheats to any thing with its alignment you audible to attack the opening. With a heavy line, and an un balanced split spread formation they have to give up some thing. Man to man on the iso, limited over the top on the trips, not enough bodies at the line for the screen, or bodies in the middle to fill gaps. Normally Ds might have a complex scheme like rotating coverage, but in a hurry up that isnt likely, and if it happens it isnt as likely to be effective. Its hard to call that in at the line. Usually you see base defenses vs hurry up. Either blitzing or dropping. The goal is to get an extra OL on the field that creates a miss match. But even running the hurry up with coverage line up dictating play call / audible can leave a D reeling. And with a guy like Eli who is a 2nd level monster with great mobility you have a considerable miss match vs the 5th DL in virtually any team. You can also do that with out the OL and use woli as a regular flex TE. Sam is the hardest position on the field to play. Even the better sam lbers in the league arent guys you want in the box getting hit by a level jumping OL. Blms production is a considerable product of his system. Reilly is a system changer. Hes a throw back qb. Id take him hurt over healthy BLM. Reilly doesnt rattle. He doesnt whine or cry or moan or blame his team mates first chance he gets. Hes a better arm talent and a tough SoB to bring down.

It was. Perhaps it was a mistake. I see couture listed under knee now too makes more sense. Any knee injury sucks to play through especially on the line. Luckily we have the deepest bench for OL in the league. I imagine Eli starts and gray is the 6th ol. Which makes you wonder who will be the healthy scratch.

It's interesting. Just saw the official injury post for today. Couture is dnp but with no reason listed. From thorax injuries to gray constantly being full but for none football reasons this injury report thing is strange.

The rash of holding calls had some really marginal Fouls. I dont think the organization would be coming down on him for it. I would imagine if any thing Couture is banged up. It takes a LOT for a favored vet to find his way to be on the outs with mos. Np. Mostly yeah. We didnt adapt and just got away from the run. We dropped a bunch of passes and couldnt over come that. We didnt really get our offense in a good sync in that game. Our offense is not designed to be pass only. Collaros elevates our offense but if we drop the run totally we need a whole other set of pass plays.

Pretty much. Atleast they arent throwing Harris back to return kicks and punts. I feel like most proficient modern cfl return men arent burners and former track stars, but quick 1 cut runners Who get up to max speed quickly. I hope hes our mcknight in shining armor.

RJ prince is another super athletic OT who moved inside and was also on the fringe of being a game day regular. The pats gave him a 2 year deal worth a million bucks this year. https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2021/02/r-j-prince-2/

Collins is a super athletic RT. When a 300 pound man runs 4.8 thats pretty good. If he ran a 4.7 we might look at him as a wr . 😆 That was top 3 all time 40 run by an ol at his combine. Kicked around with the vikings for better part of 3 years. Was in camp with 2 NFL teams this year. Clearly teams like what he can do. Thats a pretty good bluechip ol prospect. Apparently he was a front runner to start at Guard for the vikings last year. Must be really versatile. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/aviante-collins/3200434f-4c51-3500-47e4-1a8e6f8e328a

Some one was talking about Mcgough being released recently. Looks like he got into some trouble down south. Pretty athletic, 4.6 40. The seahawks were pretty high on him at one point I believe. His analytics were pretty good in college. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/seahawks-take-a-quarterback-in-the-seventh-round-alex-mcgough-of-florida-international/ Ridder is a dangerous dual threat qb. A little break down on Ridder by JT o'sullivan who had a cup of coffee in the cfl. Hes in the top 10 for the Heisman race this year. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/desmond-ridder-1.html I noticed that too. It might be they arent releasing the names of the wrs they have to keep things under wraps. We all know how much the mafia loves secrecy.

Payne (could be winner of name of the year for a lber) Athletic S imagine they are looking at him as a Wil. 7 NFL stints pretty good amount of time down there. Very productive in college. https://ras.football/2019/12/30/donald-payne-ras/ https://gohatters.com/sports/football/roster/donald-payne/1846

Its strange for sure. Maybe they had him for a while and haven't dropped him? Or maybe they see some hole in his game thatll keep him out of the NFL. Not sure. Hayes was a dominant small school db, who has bounced around the nfl despite being 24. 27 Pass knock downs in his last 2 years pretty intense. https://appstatesports.com/sports/football/roster/tae-hayes/4849 Patterson is a track stud who started all his games. 47 tackles and 22 KDs in 18. Knee injury derailed his senior year.

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kendall-donnerson/3200444f-4e62-0788-8890-6c98452dbc5b Donnerson, wow Ive seen plenty of freak athletes but that guy takes the cake. 6'3 250. 4.44 / 4.48 40 (faster than any offensive player on our roster) 40" vert, 10'11" broad jump, 7.03 3 cone drill and 20 reps at 225. Finch is another questionable skill set big athlete. Not as polished or athletic as donnerson. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/sharif-finch/32004649-4e17-0565-4975-94c496a585be Wicker is an athletic DT. His senior year HS numbers are bananas. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jojo-wicker/32005749-4331-1832-cd72-15d2cf41cf6c
