I have trouble imagining that working out. first fight, he loses every one goes oh right durr. And the sales plummet. Only way he wins is if they give him the cm punk treatment and dig up a lowbie, and one thats a puncher at that. That said Id pay to watch him get smacked around. There is a particular face a person gets, an Oh $^&* moment. Happens the first time some one gets rocked with a head shot, a liver/body shot, a leg kick and put in a choke. The choke is easily the scariest of em all. No doubt hes gone through the head and body shot early in his younger days of training. I also dont doubt he would get some decent ground coach in who'd push his comfort level. But leg kicks are risky, I could see him not taking a hard leg kick in training.

grand parents might indeed work better. Hell ya to the mandalorians! I suspend my belief for laser cannons talking frog people and hokey super power religions Im willing to be flexible lol. Really I just wish for resolution in some great character story lines. Oh and wookie jedis, I wish for wookie jedi/sith. Also, Id love to see the next series work on different angles in the star wars universe. Sith/smuggler protagonist etc. I also have a huge nerd boner for the EU.

They had to dumb the system down further and further and work him up to those plays. He was that limited. Yeah I hope to find a heavy cache of games on YT again for winter rewatching. Most of the time you dont see that much. most players/positions any way. If you are in a position where you need to take into consideration all the other teams players its generally a slower to react position like saftey. fast wide spread read leading to a fast reaction play is about as hard as it gets. And why Qbs get all the love/hate. Yeah its even more true in the nfl. Thats a big reason why they are soo heavy handed on prospects from none nfl style offenses. (even more so in the past) Some guys are real students of the game, guys who love to learn and improve. Peyton manning is a great example of this. Bruce arians has gone into great depth about his commitment, preparation and desire to learn. he tells one story about how as soon as manning was drafted, that night he wanted a copy of the play book to get started. They went to interview him, and it ended up being like a 3 hour meeting with him asking as many questions as they did. Where as ryan leaf blew off their work out, then wanted to do his own limited/easy open work out, and was out to party the night he was picked. Thats a trait as rare as a phenomenal arm. (the story is from his book the qb whisperer, a great read) But once you have 6-8 years of high level experience doing some thing, changing is fantastically hard. Combine that with the type of personality a QB is fostered with / type the position attracts, and its good luck chuck. Jim harbaugh talks a lot about how hard/impossible it is to change most Qbs. That its more keeping them right rather then trying to get them right. If any one wants I can dig up one of his (qb) coaching clinic videos. Bill walsh also talks about it in the score takes care of it self, and finding the winning edge. In baseball scouting they look for guys with 1-2 skills that are at or project to a MLB level, then work on adding 1-2 skills and polishing what they have. Ive heard it said a few times that at best if you work really hard and well on improving a weakness, you can improve it to be mediocre. But you cant turn a weakness into a strength. As seen in several drafts, the more exposed to competition some one is, the less potential they have. Noob gains, are allways the biggest gains.

Mine is the casino story line. Time line be damned ( we dont know reys age any way) dutchess satine and obiwan parents are my no1. A rebels tie in would be great too.

Since watching the punisher netflix series ive had 2 of its songs stuck in my head. Hell broke luce, tom waits and In time mark collie.

His last several stops have all been turrible. At one time he was highly thought of. Brett favre in his prime will do that though. Hes a guy whose known to be very, very rigid with old school pro/power offense. I form wide stuff. I dont see how this can end up well. If he agrees to allow an OC who knows the canadian game to run the offense his value is hugely diminished. If he tries to force his old offensive notions on the league its probably a short run for him in the cfl. In general I think football systems come and go and return again. With the entire cfl running variations of west coast, passing ball control / deep attack and having done so for years an opportunity does exist for a drastic shift to take advantage of the league. Imo that system would be a spread option offense. As the time itd take to get the heavies at all the positions, groom them, and get them experience would give all the prep time in the world for teams to adjust before you found success / a new job.

It all depends. A guy who is a 4 year starter at college and played at a high level of highschool also starting for 3-4 years is gonna be exceptionally hard to teach. I suspect that might play into our scouting of QBs. We often seem to bring in guys with good size strong build, all around athlete/players who have a lack of experience in general. Easier to shape, high up side etc. thx Great questions like this allways make for great discussions and threads so thank you!

in part for sure. I never saw that offense evolve to do more then that though. despite having some fantastic potential in the running game, and guys who can break big gains off short passes.

It can vary a lot, from staring down their hot route, patting the ball on deep passes, the way they try (or dont) to sell the play action fake, small hand/leg/head moves pre snap can be a gigantic advantage as well. After a while you have enough tape to pick up tenancies like preferred target zones to pass in, especially on certain routes. You can pick up the inflection change of their cadence to get a read on hard counts and allow you to cheat the rush (similar to hand/leg/head movements just before the snap) You also have enough film to say for certain if a guy has the touch to complete a certain pass / to a part of the field, the strength to another etc. If a guy always throws behind the wr on crossing routes the DB can play a trail position, bait a pass and jump it. The best specific guy who fell victim to this imo is rick mirer. Once dubbed as the next great QB, 2nd overall pick, one of the first starting rookie qbs and set tons of records for a rookie qb. And just like that the next year he was hot garbage. He could hardly complete a pass to the right side of the field. He couldnt read or pick up the blitz and had shell shock built in. Teams figured out he was only running 4 or 5 passing plays total. Its easy to blaze a trail as a new guy, but in pro sports you can only fool teams for soo long.Teams will adapt, the question is can you answer it. NFL teams adapted the 3-4 for speed backs like OJ simpson. Blocking schemes evolved (and the value of blind side tackles) with dominant jack lber rushers like LT. In the cfl, Banks returning, chris williams and as bomber fans weve seen a TON of dbs who are good as rookies and done soon after. Imo, part of jennings and the leos fall last year was play calling, OL and teams figuring him out late the previous year. Most of the last 2 games against us the leos could hardly pass. The offense was one dimensional, and teams started forcing the leos to beat them with some thing other then the deep ball. And they never adapted to win with some thing other then the deep ball.

when has any pro football out side of he nfl really worked? Adding more football leagues in the us is never a good idea. With the level of following at HS, college, and the nfl the market is hyper saturated.

and every team in the league needs more depth below that...

We need more import talent, not better. The top tier of our imp talent is among the best in the league. We need more, and so does every other team in the league. That is the nature of the modern cfl.

hollywood really does ruin every thing.

this winter, only true if you are an argos fan.

They barely made the play offs, didnt post a winning record, and were in trouble the whole year. Let their year guide your aim and youll return to the dark ages. We dont have the luxury of playing in the east, or of being irrelevant for huge swings of time. The sports market in TO is not like that of any other city in the nation. Out side of the leafs they are professional bandwagon hoppers. The argos are a trinket to occasionally revel at for a small portion of the city. The bombers are a part of the heart of winnipeg.

Ol are a bit more fickle then most positions. A lot of insta start guys are just that because of need. They have the potential to turn into a high level starter so teams take their lumps. Idk if rookie chung would start on this team right now. Imo his upside is exceptional. If he had a full camp he could start at guard as a rookie. It wouldnt be the smoothest option but he could do it. But yeah Qbs are the prestige position.

Agree with you. I dont hate this movie like some do, this really seems to be a polarizing movie among fans. But I was disappointing. They built up soo much and had soo much potential and just pissed it away. Snoke didnt have to be darth plagueis, and ray didnt have to be the daughter of satine-kenobi / kanan-hera / ezra-sabine but they had to be some thing. If they wanted ray to be a 1 in a trillion chance out of no where they shouldnt have set up her parents soo much. Snoke was bordered on darth maul levels of poor use. They can allways retcon that stuff back in, in the extended universe they have a few generations of skywalker past luke. Though I doubt they will no any time soon. The movie wasnt bad at all, not like the prequels. Id say my least favorite of the 3 reboots. They settle for too much shallow fan service while failing to deliver on what made star wars great in the first place.

Off season is easily worst season. Worse then winter. Worse then traffic/construction season. And we are in the heart of it. That long before FA period of pre season. Now is the winter of our discontent.

Pretty much. Better (imp) MLBers came and went in the league. No better DT did though. Comparing different eras is un fair and borderline impossible to do justice. Mos was a different type of MLBer in a very different era. His greatest strengths were toughness (one of the toughest football players ive ever seen) preparation, work ethic, and football IQ. In his prime he wasnt the fastest, strongest or biggest MLBer. But he was among the best. And among the very best NIs in his era. One of the best all round football players. You could have gotten a better athlete who was better at rushing the passer, and covered more ground. But they wouldnt be a better player. mos wasnt some one you made the game easier for. He made the game easier for his teammates. KD williams in particular comes to mind. His athletic ability and nose for the ball was exceptional. The amount of tackles for a loss he made was insane. He was constantly getting in the back field, swatting down passes and making big plays. Heck of a teams guy too. More physically talented. But not the same type of player as mos. 1997-2008 mos missed 1 game. 13 seasons of playing 18 games and 1 of 17. This thread is badily suffering from a case of off-season-itus.

On bloody elbow they said it was all elliot declining the fight as a catch weight. Iirc they offered him full purse plus half. I dont understand that move. Years back at the amateur level when cutting wasnt wide spread (in some combat sports, it seems to have allways been present in wrestling) I could understand it. Facing a guy who is legitimately 2 divisions above you is a terrible idea. But in the modern era with every one cuttting, its strange to me. If he made the extra pounds and fought at the same weight he would have he would have still fought. Going through a camp then having a chance to still have the fight and saying no is mind blowing to me.

Miss the days of the full NL being disclosed, but with the advent of social media I guess it had to change. Flowers is an incredible play maker. Shades of michael vick on the run. The amount of tragedy and loss he has overcome is really heart wrenching. Hes a great runner with a good few questions left in his arm.

Loffler doesnt cover in the traditional way a S in the cfl would. As a part of our maligned MLBer use he plays a very shallow spot with out the deep cover assignment. His athleticism gets him in on the back end of long ball plays and some people think hes failed to come over and help. Is he our worst cover guy? Could still be. But not fair to judge him based on his deployment thus far. Hard to imagine him not being better playing The shallow cloud on a robber play. Hes not mo thats for sure. Not a guy Id like to see 1on1 with speedy wrs. But would he be a problem playing mid field in a 3 deep zone, or a quarter in 4 deep? nah. not at all. Heath and randle actually had rough ends to the year as well. They both got eaten up more then normal. Have to also keep in mind that rookie DBs will often make simple mistakes and any one in deep cover will have to cheat to their side. Rookie db shades the wrong way, bites on a fake/pump/pa/break, the deep cover sees it and has to adjust early creating openings else where. Ideally you deep cover over lanes created by shading of the man / matchzone etc, and stay on top of that lane till the ball is thrown. Having to give up position early gives the QB a considerable advantage. TLDR, our defense has spent a LOT of time covering up for personnel issues via scheme. Fix that and every one else will do better.

Nah we have to restock and take a guy who will go to the nfl and sit on a PR for a few years. We are far too low on those right now. Another year and the same talk of simonise. It certainly will be interesting floyd. Top tier athletic ability and size.

Heck of a fit too. Gray is his kinda guy. I wouldnt mind having em both back after a year with the browns.
