Gotta send out some HH vibe to Willie J -- not often you see a guy block a punt while he himself is being blocked. I'm digging Gritty Lucky -- dude made some critical tough yards for us in the 4Q.

yeah, he had his usual Streveller burst in that Ottawa game ... but since then, he's looked slow. esp when he runs laterally.

this might be the rye talking but it's hilarious that maple leafs cold cuts are called Natural Selection. "is your child the fittest? no? then they shall not survive -- unless you choose Natural Selection."

BLM and BOLO making sweet acronyms together.

Leggz!

Lauther no Sergio.

the Starchild giftwraps a TD to the Bombers!

Demski crossing the goal line like a fullback with both hands on the ball...

firewagon football. end-to-end action!

so match coverage is not a new or novel thing ... Lapo says that Rod Rust and Rich Stubler were the guys who pioneered it ... so I wonder what the OC flipside of this is? how do you attack it? play action? crossing routes?

ok, I liked the previous video, but I really enjoyed this one. If you're curious about how the bomber D dominates, you gotta watch this. Lapo shows what match coverage is and how the Bombers used it to create coverage sacks, low-percentage throws, and turnovers against the Lions. The split-second pattern recognition these guys do is astonishing. You've gotta be smart to play DB in this system. I remember Kramdi getting praise for his football IQ and I can see why that's important now. Once again the all-24 view is so great. All we can see on TV is the pass rush while there's a whole ballet happening in the secondary.

this is my favorite lapo video yet, where he isolates the mistakes that are playkillers. the margin for error on these things is so small. Godber doesn't get the right block, the back is bubbled outside and strung out and it's an easy tackle. Harris doesn't read a DB's body posture correctly and throws a low percentage pass that turns into a pick. the rock and roll play was super interesting. the Argos D rolls coverage to handle some horizontal motion in the Rider backfield, but KeeSean Johnson doesn't pick out the right guy to block, and a huge play is aborted.

I'm kinda hoping that if the bombers finish strong and host a playoff game ... the Ticats also go on an absolute tear and take the crossover, just for the novelty of seeing an Eastern team in the WSF...

Sonny Wade threw 89 TD passes in his career ... and 169 interceptions. Man the 70s were a different time....

Halftime show. I don't mind Kate Beirness as a host but she just failed the CFL purity test big-time talking smack about the Argos game winning rouge....

Those vintage Als uniforms are indeed beautiful.

Man the East is taking the West out to the woodshed this year -- East holds a 17-9-1 advantage, and if you eliminate Hamilton, it's 16-3-1. That's not usual.

I love this team.

why weren't the bombers lined up and ready to go when the whistle blew in after the cart left the field? they wasted a bunch of time getting to the line. look to be playing for the FG.

three-man rush with delayed blitz is dope. Hallet zapped BLM good.

Josh Johnson!

Hail the Rouge.

Jeez, does the endzone have a restraining order against Chad Kelly?

aaaaaaaarrrrrrggggggoooooooos

paging the MLSE PR staff: you're gonna have to write another apology from Kelly -- this one to #15, who he nearly got killed with a high throw.
