It seems like this has been a problem for a couple years. With multiple qbs, systems and play callers. We get, or start deep in enemy territory and end up settling for field goals. It made a first half against montreal much closer on the score board then it was on the field. But its been an especially troubling problem this year. All three of our qbs specialize in short-medium passes. Our wrs are banged up, but we still have seen impressive play out of the young guys. And we have fast guys, and kohlert who has great hands. Imop we could use a guy whose a psychical match up nightmare for fade routes in the red zone. Weve had success with that a hand full of years ago. We could run some shovel pass, play action roll out etc to create seams in the defence. Right now, with the level our special teams, and D are playing at we are knocking on the door of being an elite level cfl team. The ability to convert for majors and step on the throat of opponents is really the last big step for this team to make. We had a great late game drive to secure the game. It wasnt allways pretty but we made it work.

probably when brandon dyson was here

we easily got the worst of it for the penalties. Some awful PI calls. Doesnt help mos blew his 2nd challenge on a pointless play in the 2nd q.

easy to forget with how he played when it counted. 70 rushing on 16 touches 61 receiving on 5 catchers. Dynamite for sure.

To and mtl would grab him.

great mix of catching and rushing, but the 2 fumbles lost really hurts. really border line between that and a star, but it was the 2 runs on that last drive that sealed it thats why i went HH. loffler made a real impact over the middle again. That hit was late and may well get him fined. But it seemed to get into the mtl wrs heads. Guys a real keeper.

1st star mo leggett. 2 picks a pick 6 and some really really good coverage again. 2nd star justin cole sack and a pick. Some good pressure tnite. 3rd star justin medlock. 5/5 and now 19 of his last 19 (iirc) HH andrew harris. Struggled early, came up huge when it counted. That td run was clutch.

happens some times. arland bruce taking more money in TO comes to mind. Not allways flaling off the radar. Kinda rough when it happens.

The challenge system has been really slowing down the games. Its a good change, though first half time outs arent treated with the importance 2nd half TOs. The real bog to the system is the time it takes for refs to make decisions. They need to be kept into the time line. If its taking that long there almost certainly isnt sufficient evidence to over turn. Thats an interesting idea. Id say any challenge after the first has the weight of a delay of game penalty.

this game will be won and lost on the line, more then most games. Mtl tore us apart in the first meeting, and has a vicious front 7. If our OL can do half as good a job as they did last week we will be in a good position to win.

there are actually 3 mongos in wpg. kenaston (the only one ive been too and it was really good) regent, and one on elice.' I cant believe foody goody is still open xD I remember blink taking the OL there after one of his early 100 yard games and them nearly eating the place out of business. I dont get why more cfl teams dont play 3-4 fronts. Not the american gap cancellation push the run side ways type. But some thing with a guy on each side who can cover. Itd allow soo much more flexibility in terms of zone, and deep cover help.

hard act to follow for him. But the league has also seen some changes that are kinda controversial, I like the job hes done though.

not just financially finding a back up thats willy or better isnt easy. This would be an awesome move if we can swing it.

this i know a couple people who went projector and screen set up under 1500 and 2k and its magnificent.

2 years is kinda excessive. Considering it wasnt performance enhancing, and in brocks case the testing he popped on wouldnt have made any sense if he was using an un caught PED. 1 year is still pretty hefty. For jones who has substance abuse violations in the past makes a bit more sense. Though honestly i wanna see him defending his belt more then i want to see more lay and pray by brock. The ufc is putting out this doc on cm punk in pieces. I saw clips from his sparring sessions linked from one, and wow his stand up is some kind of horrible. Idk who has worse technical stand up skill brock or punk. Punk how ever doesnt have any of the extreme physical attributes brock does. Might have to bet to farm against on that one. Mickey gall is no joke.

could be. Could be good for him. Cant say really. IIRC ricky ray was a strong starter and jason maas had to close games. Or it was the other way around. Usually, coming off the bench is easier as you dont have any of the pressure on you. But we wont know how he is till/if it happens.

wasnt that also in the chris brazzel era? xD Thats a tough group to choose between. Gordon back then was burried deep under milt gordon and aj. Gordon was an excellent possession wr, a real pro. But didnt have the raw tools of armstrong. To pick one to win a single game with I would prolly take gordon/aj/milt. For a season or going forward with id take milt/edwards/armstrong.

The two certainly have not had similar opportunities. The ol play, the health of wrs, the play calling has clearly opened up etc. Its hard to compare all things considered. As a team we havent done well with deep shots this year. Despite the amount of runs, and short passes we havent yet used that to set up longer routes. Maybe some thing thats coming in the 2nd half. Idk how i feel about willy coming off the bench. On one hand, i cant see it happening short of more great struggles from the offense. Or a losing streak. Or an injury to nichols. None of which i really want to see. I would like to see what willy has left and if the benching has lite a denmark esq fire under his butt or if hes mentally checked out. The thought of him going to another team and danny macing us in the future is awful. he certainly has the most potential between he and nichols. He really had nice touch on his passes. Some times qbs fall into a tendency of trying to throw a 40 yard pass on a 20 yard out. Forcing the ball, not relaxing in their mechanics and really trying to whip it at max velocity. And that leads to a lot of misses in the general area of the target. The disappearing act of his touch especially on greater then short passes could be due to that. Trying to over arm toss a ball can also cause it to leave the hand late, which brings on passes at the knees and lower. All of which could be fixed with a hard reset of benching. Its really all gonna boil down to, if he gets the chance, and if he has re found confidence. Relaxing and getting back to what he knows is what would bring him to his best level of play.

bad teams make bad personnel decisions. They may look at spots and players as more one dimensional, and less interchangeable. Other wise i cant say. Maybe one of the green guys on the forum can shed some light on it.

by the same team that cut denmark. By the worst team in the league who also cut our no1 wr and let walk our no2.

hmm good point. I dont know about foodie goodie but mongo's is pretty good.

if the game was in winnipeg id say lets all kick in and take him to baked expectations.

rod has a terrible record, the riders have a terrible record, must be part of the conspiracy. tin foil watermelon hat.

yeah aj3 had a great year. Like 700 yards receiving, a monster on returns. Funny enough robert gordon was our top pass catcher that year. Khari loved him as a possesion guy underneath the amazing deep threats, and thinly spread Db.

Have some one take him to an all you can eat buffet the morning of the game. We could play a vice cover. or match vice. Have a De pinch under and the db play deep cover. Some one fast like fogg. When the play goes deep have the db switch to match zone under neath and wedge loffler over the top. He isnt gonna run past many guys, but if you cant close the gap by the time the ball gets there hes gonna run over people. But maybe some one like loffler can make him the nail instead of the hammer. Match zone double would give a chance to force turn overs and could make glenn look else where. but its a lot more commitment then I think you wanna put on him. Man to man id counter him with speed, some one who can eat up the cushion and close on the ball. Were not gonna out physical him with a single db, and our bigger lbers are still lighter and lack the coverage skill in all probability.
