Thats a good bet. We like to gamble with depth at WR/db./rb, If fogg is chasing zylstra its gonna be a bad day. Our defense is all about giving up the under, and being in position to come up and play on the ball/tackle. If fogg sags on him he has all the quicks in the world to eliminate that height advantage and snag the ball away. And the hands too. Hes a guy with all the talent, he just needs to figure out how to put it together. Teams and wrs have adjusted to him and he has to figure it out. If he does he will have a long successful career.

26 man games missed this year on that DL. Chick willis and hunt combine for 12 sacks. and 15 up the middle. We have a combined 15 off the edge, not including westerman (7). Our edge rushers are deeper, younger and better imo. We combine for 10 sacks up the middle. No doubt the moes have the sack advantage, but at the same time no DT in the league has more pressures then poop. No doubt in my mind the 2 best Dls in the league going at it. To a close 3rd. Over all, Id take our D too. randle, heath, loffler, JSK we dont play a flattering system but the talent is strong.

About what i had hoped for. Short of a miracle come back to health by bond, or darvin adams. Foketi in place of neuf and both jfg/coates starting wouldnt have been bad. But G isnt too bad to try and cover up 1 guy on the line. The moes DL is healthy, but at what % will they play? 1 week off is tough, these guys missed a TON of football this year. 3 keys to victory for me 1 Great tackling. Often when we give up big, back breaking plays we had a chance to make the tackle and missed. When we tackle well, our D plays well. Some big plays happen, great athletes and players will do that. But if we can wrap em up, gang tackle and not settle for arm tackles and sell out for hits itll be a good day for bomber fans. 2 limit 2 and outs. We need to pound the rock an establish physicality in the game. Let the banged up OL go out and mash. Take pressure off a less then 100% nichols. Put the rusty edm D on their heels. 3 Play 4 quarters on O, teams, and D. Weve seen too often where the D doesnt find its groove till half way through the first or later. If they start fired up and keep the pedal to the floor we will be in great shape.

dont buy it and hope it isnt true

Yeah it is bold. pretty out there. but i hold to it.

That or a fresh legged kick return type. A big strong guy probably wont make a lot of use of it. But to be fair, our fly sweep is soo well known it doesnt surprise any one. Its not like it will bust a huge gain. The longest i can recall this year is 15 yards. Maybe flanders lined up as the wing. Or givens, hes got a good mix of speed and size.

Yeah fly sweep and short under / over the middle stuff is brutal. I wish wed atleast stop the fly sweep with him.

You are correct.

The 1 and only problem is his health. Dont think any one in bomber land has a lack of love for the guy.

the 01 team was better, but the offense was not. No im not 16 lol? but putting 2001 ahead of 2002 makes me wonder if you are 17. Cus 2000 wr core was all world. blink had 1 td in 2001. Sellers was here in 2002/2003. No, add 1 elite wr and our offense is better. Dressler, adams + new elite wr. Best rb in the league, one of the best and deepest OLs (our OL got thin quickly in the khari era. while we got better else where it wasnt on the line) And khari tossed 46 tds, but people forget the 29 picks. Khari + milt + bruce + blink + sellers is an incredible start to an offense. But a lack luster OL, and little to no depth after that.

Im heavily inclined towards pitchers. I loved the pace he set and maintained, the way he performed against the best teams, his rebirth from being sent back down and turning into a GB focused pitcher. But still getting a ton of Ks.

Over passed to, under run, and generally used un creatively.

2nd that. We stick it out, a tough group of people. Patient and optimistic, nah. I dont know how we could be given the 2 dark ages from the late 90s to mid mos era. With all too brief returns to respectability. 2 years is even high. Because of that we may have reason to hope that he will turn the corner and become an elite OC. Not holding my breath but i am hoping. This offense (talent wise) is 1 high tier wr away from being maybe the best in my life time. Top to bottom it would be a juggernaught.

You evaluate by being an OC and getting fired for lack of production with a core like that. You have to judge a CO by their over all success. Plops offense has been an issue and under whelming each time through. He was a better HC and player coach then system guy. Its funny cus the media paint him as an X n O genius, the second coming of Mouse Davis or some thing. Partly increased by his TSN work. Im not saying hes bad at Xs n Os. The execution and play calling has been consistently poor. Getting away from harris and the run, not making good use (or any direct use much of the time) of DIs, constantly faking stuff but not actually progressing to the new wrinkle to keep the defense from cheating, not adapting the play calling to fit different pieces (ie qbs) every game hammering dressler through the jet sweep / fake, out thinking himself play calls etc. A great OC on a bad team happens. When it does you tend to see players in positions to make plays, but not making them. I would give specific bomber examples here, but TBH we have not had a great wealth of OC minds in the last 20 years. Plop is among the better on the list, though I dont suggest looking too hard at our list of OCs in that era, its as depressing if not more then looking at the QBs. OC by committee? Seriously? Its hard to say what players will progress into being good coaches. Some times a guy like khari who seems tailor made to be great at it, never shows much. And guys like tee martin, and brady do it very well. Great coaches seem to be hungry and self motivated. I read recently that mike martz and his staff with the rams would watch every play from the week they could find. cfl, nfl, ncaa, even us HS. And if they saw a good fresh play they would call the coaching staff, even make trips down to meet with the staff on occasions.

That chart is utter bunk. Just head shaking, earth shattering, soo stupid it gives me forrest whitaker eye silly.

No kidding. Bond + hardrick drawing into the line up was massive. People need to go back and look at those early games from last year. That OL was dismal.

Flanders was mostly playing a slot/flanker/wing position and motioning into the back field post snap. Harris was also tearing it up pretty good before flanders drew in for good. Good threats open up more holes. But weve seen flanders carry the team on his back pushing the pile for 5 yards etc. Flanders makes the offense better, but if he was actually used and it would be better still.

The difference is those teams handed over control to great football minds. MTL has committed to the exact opposite of that.

Heart breaking. my all time favorite jay. Such a great ambassador of the sport too.

The gleibs folded 2 franchises. ( same one twice) no one will ever convince me an owner is worse. Short of jones getting a stake in the riders. Montreal is a garbage can on fire. If you are a young CO or position coach looking to get experience in HC, or a cisu coach then take it. First time HC jobs very seldom work out. Take the lumps, learn the lessons then write it off as being a dumpster of a franchise. Other wise, stay away.

He was the biggest problem on that line. Easily the worst.

Former jays pitcher (and legend) Roy doc halladay died today in a plane crash. Soo tragic. Such a great person and player. Man thats brutal.

Yeah newfie was straight up turnstiled with regularity last time we had to start him regularly. Hes not good. and not rotational. Remember when harris was averaging 1.8 yards per carry for the first several weeks of his time here? Newfie blocking.

Yes, but the way we play it we have them mashing. Its not about technical difficulty, its about the near 70 lbs weight difference between the two. Couture would be the type of guard youd play in a zone blocking / option offense where he would be pulling a lot. The way we play our line having couture at guard is like playing dressler on dive plays up the middle.
