gutsy call to not give up the safety.

so what dimension does he have?

I gotta say I am real glad to see an entertaining CFL game.

holy cow Zach threw a dime on that corner route

yup. wasn't quite deadly, but yup

smooth-running giant with huge hands who can win battles in the endzone -- like a beefier, harder-running Greg Carr. I'm diggin it.

yup, garbage call. I'm gonna guess Bob Cameron for the trivia answer.

yeah, I'm a couple minutes behind, just got the field goal. too far behind to second-screen the game on MBB. I'll check in with you guys at halftime, enjoy the game!

oh yeah, I'm not busting on those guys, they're two of my favorite TSN guys, just haven't heard them work together before. that was a Mike Jones like hit that Schoen just absorbed there.

Dustin Neilsen and Dunigan in the booth .... don't think I've heard that all-goofball combo before. my stream just hit the Bombers first offensive play. wonder how far behind everyone I am.

I've been rooting hard for Bailey ever since I saw him pancake a ticat DE on the first Harris TD in the 2019 Grey Cup. re social media, I've been surprised at how decent CFL reddit has been. it won't replace MBB any time but there's worthwhile stuff there. typical reddit thing, there's lots of dummies alongside some good posters.

I'm trying to remember if a player has ever been banned from the league for onfield stuff. I can think of a couple of banned guys -- there was Manziel violating his contract conditions and there was a dude who had a bad domestic on him and the league either voided his contract or said they wouldn't register one for him -- but those were things that happened away from the field.

I seem to recall that the knock on him was that he was an upright runner at speed and being a big boy, that made him really vulnerable. A safety coming downhill at him had a lot to aim at. Real sad to see -- he could have been an all-timer, up there with Cornish, Harris, and Kwong. he did win some medals at bobsled world cups, so that's pretty cool.

I went back and watched a bunch of Clements games over the past couple years and yeah, I agree. Clements was a slippery guy and his field vision was so good that he could always find the open man and get the ball there. I think Collaros is a better passer than Clements was, though. Collaros' accuracy is something special, up there in the Ricky Ray tier as far as CFL guys go, and ZC definitely can put more mustard on the ball than TC could. Hell, I think Hufnagel had a way better arm than Clements did, he put up some beauty rainbows in his day, but he didn't have Clements' uncanny radar and playmaking ability.

ah, twitter has the hookup. big attaboys for Schoen on the scramble drill there, he fakes taking off deep like the short receiver is supposed to do and then he curls back to the stick. Ties Sayles in knots and is wide open for the sideways desperation throw. We got a first down because our QB has beast level body control and our WR has great situational awareness. you love to see it.

I missed this throw during the game but to get back on the topic of Collaros' passing skills...this one was, according to reddit, a dart and a completion.

It ducking drives me crazy to see news reporting on this executive privilege for Bannon thing. It is not a thing. It doesn't exist. It's like me telling mbb that speedflex is free to post here because I have waived my executive privilege.

that first TD pass -- Collaros threw that off his back foot while in the grasp and he had to throw it around the rusher and he put a ton of air under it. Leaving his hand, it looked like a terrible throw and probably a pick... ... but no, it was a perfect rainbow to Schoen. Just an outstanding passer.

How far does Zach go? We gonna see Dru Brown tonight?

33 Elks had a rough shift out there ... first he gets trucked by the Stamps' short yardage QB and then he gets beat for an 80+ yard TD.

0:25 remaining in the first here on my stream -- PI just challenged by Dave ****. Looked like a clean cover to me, the WR tried to run thru the DB.

Doesn't matter the team, I hate to see a young QB hurt their throwing arm so early in their career. Hope he's okay.

I'm glad that Lalji was clear that Ford would be starting at QB. If the tweet just said "Ford starting" then it could mean that Jones decided to try him at long snapper or cover team gunner.

from the outside it looks super complicated. the RB needs to read and react in pass protection, right? does the RB ever come to the line on a passing play and know exactly who he is going to block?

question for football knowing people: are those guys 100% interchangeable? do the Bombers have certain plays they'd only run with Oliveira on the field, and others they'll only run with Augustine? How much does Pierce's playcalling change based on who's in?
