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.

Didn't call it when our guy got thrown down.

Cole sighting. Double A gap blitz there for a free underneath throw.
