Those guys play on different teams. Williams is with Ottawa.

Loading up on junk.

Toronto's receiving crew today is Kenny Shaw, Diontae Spencer, Coombs/Durie and two rookie Canadians who were really drafted to play special teams. Barker is literally handing us a top 2 pick. Guy has to get fired this off-season.

Could see Gurley and Elliott having NFL interest.

To me the coverages are almost irrelevant. Whatever they are the receivers are going to make and find space, especially with the current way PI and illegal contact are called. Wasting a guy or two on a blitz when Calgary was always ready to match it just didn't make sense. The DBs make reads and it's easy for receivers in combo routes to make room, that's why you need those guys who are blitzing to take up space especially in the middle of the field so those throws are much harder. It didn't work at all, like even once in that first half. To me that play calling needs to shift a lot earlier.

You aren't going to get pressure against 6-7-8 blockers. They should have shifted tactics to the secondary and given up on blitzing.

There's a difference between a "catch" and establishing possession as a ball carrier. It's very confusing and has needed simplification for years.

You can label guys whatever you want. You don't have to start 5 receivers and 1 RB or any combination for that matter. If they wanted to start two guys as tailbacks they wouldn't have to call one a receiver.

He secured the ball and turned upfield establishing himself as a ball carrier. If he stumbled another step in the same direction towards the sideline he was going when bringing the ball in and lost control it wouldn't have been a catch.

I think you find a way to get them both on the roster and give yourself more options, in terms of having them both out there or spelling each other. I don't think Harris makes it to the end of the season otherwise. That comes at the cost of one of the import LBs who had mostly been used to cover kicks.

Not really. Calgary was using extra blockers routinely, Trestman relied more on the 5 linemen and maybe a back, getting the ball out quick. BLM was taking his time for the most part.

It didn't matter if they rushed 3-4 or 7 Calgary was matching with extra blockers. Should have given up on blitzing very early and given BLM less space to fit throws into with coverage.

Three huge ones up to the bye

They f'd that up all around.

I agree. With what is available now in terms of the number of eyes and technology, they need to make those adjustments before the half. They are working off the same play card regardless, more an adjustment in what is called and when.

Wish we played a quarters D on that last offensive play...why were our DB's running with the receivers? FML...cut out most of the route tree and at least make it hard to get downfield.

Good way to lose...close but they'll be able to see how a bonehead play here and there makes a difference, how they have to win every down and play a full game.

On PI reviews and any penalty review for that matter, the replay official should get one look in real time at each angle available, then make the call. Simple. Realistically the replay official should have basically have his mind made by the time the ref is even finished talking to the coach about the challenge. There's only one CFL game at a time and they are watching it. The amount of time spent on reviews makes zero sense.

QBs are taught to turn into and finish through their target on set throws. He's doing the opposite, he's falling away from his target in most of the set throws on that video. He's got a strong arm as a base and that will always be attractive, like a pitcher who throws 95 whether that guy can find the plate or not.

Watched that video of all of MBTs throws in a preseason game for the Vikings. Don't think his mechanics are that great. He's got a big arm and he needs it because he torques his hips away from his target when he throws. He's basically overpowering himself with his upper body to get the ball there. Lots of negative movement. That leads to inaccurate floaters. He'll be an INT machine on the wider field.

Yes. If the offense gets the production they did this weekend and stays on the field I think our D an handle the rest. Three offensive TD's and win the time of possession you have a damn good shot of winning any game with this D.

Odd how similar both our games vs Toronto ended up.

I kind of like the idea of having all the DL dress to split reps 65-35ish between the starters and backups against a guy like LeFevour. Could be a lot of long downs with lots of running to contain him. Gauthier or Richards could be the other scratch.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point...but this is a stat where less is more.
