    What if I told you Westerman was one sack away from being tied for the sack lead in the CFL.. He was doing his job just fine!

    Like i said Westerman has been alright but he tends to disappear for stretches and i'd wager he has many more penalty yards than sack/tackles for loss yards. I dont mind Westerman but i'd love a true difference maker on the outside ala Philip Hunt a few years back.

    Sadly we're stuck dressing him until Mulumba decides he wants to play but man he is just BAD.

    Our d-line still concerns me. Powell probably would have had 200 yards if the game was closer. Poop needs to get back in there, not sure what the hell is going on with that. We also lack that outside QB destroyer. Westerman had his moments but we really lack that big play guy on the outside that gets to/disrupts the QB with regularity.

  3. They took readings at certain plays/times during each quarter(for both games) and near the end of the game they showed the average decibel level. Ours was at 100.3 or something and last week the priders average was something like 99.6. Ofcourse the play by play guy(not sure who it was) had to mention that last weeks game wasnt as close, hinting that is why we are louder. Im sure Climie agrees.

  4. You can add garbage defensive coordinator to that list as well. He was here "coaching" some horrible defenses not too long ago. For a guy with such a poor track record, it amazes me that he keeps getting hired.  Never mind hired, promoted lol! He's been mediocre at best seemingly everywhere he's gone.

  5. So a Rider homer thinks that Nichols, who is leading the league in QB QUAR, top 3 in almost every other meaningful stat, routinely puts the team on his back in the 4th quarter to pull out late victories, and is like what? 17-5 since taking over starting duties, is a ham n egger? Seriously? Then what the hell do you think of your own QB? How about a heartless, gutless, can never win the big game, cold weather folding, no other option, last resort QB, retread, ho-hum its just a game, career losing record, hasbeen? Sounds about right. If Nichols was your QB you'd be ghostwriting his HOF induction speech while admiring you and your cousins wedding photos in your matching Nichols jerseys.

  6. True enough but the guy is like 36 now and not the spring chicken he once was. Westerman and Jeffcoat get a pass because their good contributions outweigh their bad. Hurl had a pick in week 1 where Glenn hit him in the hands. Take out his week one stats and he has 32 tackles in 8 games.....and thats it. Not a sack, pick, forced fumble, nothing. Hell, the game against BC he DID NOT REGISTER A STAT. Not a single freakin' tackle. He is averaging 4 tackles a game. His numbers are down right embarrassing for a starting MLB. He just doesnt make plays. There is no defending him.

  7. Our D really does need to tighten up. I thought Knox was better and made a couple nice shoestring tackles. Im not concerned about Leggett or our DB's. Randle and Heath are as solid as they come and Alexander/Walker are really young but have played alright and have bright futures. Fogg is kinda meh but i think he's out when Walker comes back. I really think that Hurl and Loffler have been the biggest issue this year. Im sorry but Hurl is junk. He's slow as dirt and always 2 seconds late to the play. His brutal missed sack on Durant could have been a massive turning point. The guy is the worst MLB in the league. I cant remember the last time he made an impact play in a good way. IMO Loffler has been the biggest disappointment. I mean we all knew Hurl sucked but we all thought Loffler was going to be the white Ed Reed of the north. If he's not dropping gimme INT's he's got Hurl syndrome arriving 2 seconds late to the play or missing a tackle trying to destroy a guy. How many times last night Nik Lewis catch a 6 yard pass and turn it upfield with Loffler arriving just a bit late. They were clearly feeding him last night and he had like what? 10 catches? And we couldnt break a single 1 up?? Seems like he's just a bit slow reading the play unlike Randle who was in Durants head. If he's not blowing guys up he's not doing much out there. Really disappointed in him this year. There really is no solution due to the ratio seeing as both are Canadian. We just have to hope they improve.

    Having said all that were are 7-2 baby! But we also give up the 2nd most points a game this year after Hamilton which is really starting to scare me. I really hope they can tighten up before the dam bursts at some point.
