pretty good alternative pre game show

Tc should've been atleast twice as long with no two a days. I know they were in a big rush to make money but this season is gonna be hell.

Idk I think their secondary is decent. But both the wrs and dbs have questions with depth. As well I'd question their ni talent level and depth. If Fajardo stays healthy and improves they could be a play off team. But I think that's their max potential. No game action and 2 qbs are hurt and one had better start running for his life now. Year of the back up qb part 2. While that's an interesting notion I feel like bc wasn't going to be beaten for his services. And they know how to use speed tool guys like lucky. It's boom or bust for him this year. And I do worry he will be a guy we lament losing. Either the one that tells him he's Favre or Joseph Smith. Personally I think he's gonna be in the top 4 in passing again this year.

Any one who looks at that and says yeah that's a contender is either a biased rider fan, or pandering for clicks.

Nichols again limited in practice by his shoulder. Rbs are screwed.

The gap between expectations with respect to him and Dane is kinda nuts imo. Fajardo will be running for his life till the wheels fall off this year. Riders are my least favorite team and fan base in sports. But I liked Fajardo at Nevada. And I never want to see Young qbs get ruined. They expect that who ever O'Day plugs in will be great no matter what and that Fajardo will be able to just make it work. But football doesn't work that way.

Reilly had an mri on his elbow and is on a pitch count but bc is sure he won't miss week 1. I'd be worried as much about him putting him self at risk. He'd go out and play missing an arm.

If he was just some random airlift replacement he'd be out of the league for his hits. If he has one this year the cfl needs to come down hard on him

100 percent dirty hit

He beat up on Montreal and Toronto while dropping one of those games. He wasn't particularly good vs cal or the riders. He played 6 games and finished 4. He piled up some yards but that's it. And not vs good defenses. It's only a matter of time again this year before Evans is starting. He was a first year starter flung into the heat of a division race and went to the Grey Cup. Probably the best first year starter in modern history. Pretty much. But that's true of nearly all the teams this year.

He got injured but was among the league leaders in picks with 7 to 9 tds. Dane Evans was playing as well or better than Masolis career best. Their offense was much better with Dane.

I don't get the Masoli love tbh. I think he had one good year and has only been consistent in losing the starting job. Evans was exceptional in his first year starting. He got beat up in the gc but our dl also ate the cats ol raw.

Reilly is banged up. And it's Campbell's first year with a low experience coaching staff plus he's gm hc and d cor. Plus that Dline has 1 vet. They have some decent weapons on offense a solid ol and some good building pieces. That offense will be competitive for a while but teams are gonna roll over their d. I think this is gonna be the end of Mr in bc. They could stay in the picture in the west for a bit but I don't see them having any where near the depth to excel in a season line this. I think Montreal ham edm and us are better.

The 3dn article was much better. Most people had us 2nd and riders last or 2nd last. Qft and the right vet qb.

There is alot of room for interpretation and fudgery. A calf injury could be a serious high ankle strain a little tightness or a bunch of things. All in all I like them. It'll be interesting if they have to get more in depth when a guy goes on the ir.

The annual final standings and or season awards predictions. West. 1 Wpg 2 Edmonton 3 cal 4 ssk 5 bc East. 1 mtl 2 ham 3 to 4 ott I think the most wins we will see for a team this season is 12. With tight competition down to the last week for play off spots. Gonna say Rocquemore is our roty candidate. Zach is our MOP Harris goes over 1k receiving this year but with less running load stanback leads the league. Gonna say 2 other bombers woli and Lawler go for over 1k too. Jeffcoat gives willy a run for his money in sacks and bighill gives him a run in modp but wj repeats as modp. Hardrick gets a nod for mol but doesn't win. Harris again is our moc.

There is no more squeeze. Either you are in side shoulder and in the gap or not. Not every team runs zone. They will run plays where one or maybe two guys pull or take a zone assignment. But not the whole line. It's not some thing you can plug in with limited reps and do well with. Yes linemen do. If a pass rusher is out side of their frame or if they can pan cake on follow through or if they are just beaten. It's like option packages. Virtually no one is committed to it. But with real zone like midline option which is as basic as it gets none zone teams run fake zone with a center push and guard on zone. Meant tackle not guard. Though if a t is beaten while pinching zone teams will have a c in side out to catch the rusher. Pinching is not Harder or more demanding. Every teams fan base thinks their best guard is maybe the leagues best. Good ols are lead by tackles. It is the least demanding position and easiest covered for. Half the time you get help and you can't easily get out beaten wide. Last year the riders covered for lack of pass pro with quick hit timing routes and Fajardo on the spin move. He beat pressure off the edge frequently enough and a lot of the sacks Given up where inside pressure. Go watch Bob wylies interview in the pre season of his 2nd year here and read the article Tait did with it. Sacks allowed are not a measure of success or failure by and ol.

Demski would be the next rb. I don't think we'd di a rb Nelson and Grant. Nelson is also a guy whose played rb some in college. Grant even had 50 ish carries in college.

Thanks. It's a good read but I think Harris is well above Masoli. Yeah he's a rare combo of a big play guy and an extremely versatile skill set. Should be fun if he's able to stay healthy. https://www.tusculumpioneers.com/sports/fball/2019-20/bios/alford_dee_ir5h https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2019/05/dee-alford/ Dominant small d2 school db and return man. Tall thin and 4.4 speed. We really seemed to dig deep through the position transition and small school pool. They seem really high on roc. Could see a lot of reps or they could use that spot to rotate more ends etc. I think antigha probably rotates in packages because he can do soo much.

Could be upper ankle sprain or plantar facia injury.

Can you link it I didn't see this. I think our running game with this ol is gonna be good even when Harris misses. But the blocking and catching I worry about. I hope we see a bit more of demski running the ball too.

I think we will see one back soon ish. But I'm worried about Harris. I think this is an awful decision for them. I get the feeling that who ever loses is gonna turn it into the excuse bowl for their lose. And I don't think it's gonna be us.

It isnt. Watch other teams guard play. Guard is just easier to hide in pass pro. He might be the 6th ol on most teams but wouldn't start for more than half. Mbt wasn't drafted and signed with 7 different nfl teams and made 4 or so teams. Lots of outlier facts can get you on a team. Running out every play High football iq etc. It isnt at all what you said. Idk how you can think it was. Pinching isn't harder. It is not more athletically demanding either. If some one speed rushes the edge because then the guard opens their hips and meets the rusher. They don't have to take them head on and have a power angle for leverage. Zone blocking demands far more athletically. Every team pinches tackles situational.
