I feel like that’s what they do every season. Injuries and first half roster struggles, then the real season starts after LD. They are so well coached, they scout so well, and they aren’t afraid to move on from any one if it makes them better. They’ll be in the mix at the end of the season for sure. -
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.

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.

Really has. Not aging well at all, hope he’s ok, could be some health stuff goin on. -
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.

That’s such a cfl ending to a cfl game -
He did, as did our kid from the riffles.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. 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.
-
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. No sense to be made of it. It’s just some mos town stuff.
-
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. Snafu I bet Weitz isn't here next year.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. 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. 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. 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. I have a lot respect for what Masoli can do. And he gets up to play us. Rourke gets down when he faces us.
-
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.
-
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.
