I'd like to see a bunch of guys get reps at WIL/DE in the next game. I'm not sure why Cole doesn't get a shot. Speedy and comes violent. A few snaps as a blitzer last night. Clements is just awful, not sure why he wasn't cut after his first stint. Cooper, whether DE or WIL, even Rutledge at WIL. Also throw the German receiver on the roster instead of Machino. Get Demski out of there so he can rest up for playoffs.

Our backers blitz a ton. Thought our DL looked pretty stout, backers weren't ready to clean up. Key to defending zone run is not run into the wash, force the line to be mobile opening up the gaps for the first wave to break their blocks and get a shot at the back. Clements is brutal at this, just runs right into the pile, makes it easy to block up and gives tons of space to cut back/run counters. Darby made a couple of poor reads too that opened up huge lanes, especially on the one big run. Bighill filled the last gap on the play side to force the back across field but Darby followed Bighill into the gap instead of being patient and cleaning up. Love that the 3down doofus insists that tackle was after the whistle. Clearly was not. Problem on that play was Rhymes quit immediately at the pop and then left himself prone for the finish. Extremely lazy play by Rhymes and he paid for it. Should be trying to fight himself. All I'll say about trying to fight guys post-game is that you have 60 minutes to get that violence out on the field. If you have the energy to try to go at someone post-game you're doing it wrong.

Frustrating piece on the special teams coverage was no adjustment to the kicks. Like the returner is killing our cover teams, how about squibbing the ball or popping it up 15-20 yards shorter? Kinda just let it happen. Also on the long FG's we might want more of a cover crew out there. Not sure Jefferson is a good fit to cover missed FG's for instance, maybe throw Cooper or Cole out there.

Imagine Rourke spends another season in the CFL at $65,000 plus incentives because he tweaks his foot and needs another surgery on it. Then in that next CFL season comes down to earth. The NFL is out the window at that point. It's all about timing, and his time to make that NFL jump is RFN.

He's got more than enough on film.

Yeah if he fields it standing out of bounds, even if it's bounced up in the air over the field of play I agree it's an illegal kickoff. But fielding it on the turf, one foot in, one foot out is illegal participation..."reaching back into the field of play"

I honestly can't believe Rourke's agent would let him play in a competitive game 10 weeks after an injury with a 6 month timeline given his obvious shot at the NFL this off-season when he's at full health. That right there is negligent.

Tricky interpretation. If he's standing on the sideline and field the ball in the air, or on a bounce, sure. He's got one foot in, one out and picks the ball off the turf in bounds. IMO that's illegal participation. Here's the relevant section bolded to emphasize the particular situation: It is illegal for a player of either team to go out of bounds, without contact with an opponent, and to reach back into or re-enter the field of play to touch or recover a loose ball.

Damn Sheed should have hoofed that and Augustine hauled to grab it.

A lot of rough play by Lions on that punt. Tourist hit at end, cut block on rusher by a back which is hugely illegal now.

The refs botched that call. Williams can't touch the ball once he's out of bounds.

Terrible camera work.

Don't want to put our onside kick on film.

Yeah winning a pseudo-exhibition game on missed FG's and pick sixes with no offense. Hope that Lisfranc doesn't get too tight in -20.

McCrae is one of the 5 starters, 6 dressed total with Grant.

Just Grant. Have an American DE who just plays special teams though.

Ok we don't need the hospital balls. Put Prukop in to run option to kill the clock.

Clock shouldn't be running after a defensive penalty.

No ******* ****.

Horsecollar.

Should use one timeout here before 3 minute warning when we lose it.

Cole makes a play on the pass rush. Use him.

Sayles blew that one. Trying to read from the DL on short-yardage, just get upfield.

I'm glad Rhymes chose BC. Wouldn't fit our club.

Rhymes needs to play through the whistle. Get hurt stopping up.
