That's already a thing, 2nd contracts are only bridge contracts for people who need to prove themselves.

once you start buying up UFA years the dollar value of contracts goes through the roof

That was the most spineless thing I've seen out of a football player since Brock Ralph

Don't think they would take a WR off the field and replace with a RB. If Cotton was in than someone had to come out. The WR/SB differentiation is pretty much meaningless these days,guys line up all over the field.

God willing the Redblacks can pick up a win here. Nothing kicks the anthill in the gap like Burris beating them.

That's the most important part. Bombers take care of their own business don't need to worry about what anyone else is doing, the rest of the games I just want to be entertained.

The most logical explanation is they took an american receiver off since you know, to get another offensive weapon on you need to take one out.

Agreed, hence that other thread going on here showing that people are giving Dinwiddie way too much of a pass for this nonsense. It's been proven by Gary Crowton that If your OC is unprepared, unqualified, or clueless, your whole offense will go down the tube. I think Dinwiddie gets cut some slack because he was never supposed to be the offensive coordinator. He was hired as a qb coach and he's brand spanking new to coaching, no way he should have been thrust into the OC role that quickly.

It'd be more deadly than the Don Cherry piano hands drinking game

How come I only saw this for the first time now??

we don't want to be reviewing every play so no.

Man Montreal is such a gong show this year. A lot of the shine really has come off Popp now that he's got no qb eh?

so you're agreeing with me that it wasn't players who were cancers but the coaches were just inept? Coaches aren't cancers on teams they can just be terrible coaches who can't motivate a team, that's the guys we had coaching unfortunately.

sticky not so sticky

Was that a 9 or 8 team league? That would be both.

Same old Brink, send pressure he's toast.

Unlikely, going to take more than 6 wins to stay out of the western basement I expect.

How do you know Grigsby was Willy's first read on the play? When exactly is sending your RB out to the flats a bad call? ...on a D-Lineman... yeah! getting your RB matched up against a DL seems like one giant win for your offensive coordinator.....

He looks like he's trying to decide if he sat in a pie or not

Looks like a pretty good and balanced offense to me.

I'd have been livid if they'd tried to run the ball in on that last play because they have failed at 2nd and short too often, but letting the qb who has been making clutch throws all year put it in the air? Yeah I call that a pretty good play call.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yah, it is a low %. Most of the time, you'll get a LB on the RB, not a DE. The additional speed and cover ability, quickly turns that TD into a knock down and a win to a loss. Most of the time, when 2 receivers are in the same spot, the ball isn't completed. By that logic any play is a low % play call because you clearly expect the coverage to never get beaten and to make plays to knock the ball down. What I saw happen was the qb saw his RB beat his coverage badly so he dropped the ball over top of the coverage. Seems to me that's what good qbs do to make plays. Throw the ball where the receiver can catch it and the defender can't. That Denmark brought his route too close to the play is nothing to do with the play call. You are right in the bolded part.. But the rest is all wrong. You are either arguing just for shits and giggles are you aren't able to listen to what others including the qb are saying. Play was to go to denmark, but he wasn't open, SO HE THREW IT UP AND HOPPED SOMEONE WOULD COME DOWN WITH IT. He didn't plan to throw it to grisby, He didn't try to get it grisby as he had beat the defender, he threw it up in the area the recievers were. Watch the highlights.. he lobbed it up.. much like we did when we were kids playing " 500" where you throw the ball up and call a number of points the throw is worth.. Get enough points, your turn to throw. Listen to what Willy said. From CJOB post game approx 27 minutes in: Irving: Was that your read on the play? Willy: I was looking to Denny in the corner and Grigsby was in the flat, I didn't think any of them were really open. So I just wanted to give them a shot to make a play. Irving: The pass was a bit of a prayer was it? Willy: Basically, wasn't too skillful. There wasn't much there so I decided to give our guys a chance. You think there was only one option on the play? He said he looked to Denmark was he wasn't open, so he saw Grigsby in the flat but couldn't throw it directly at him, the DL was in the way so he threw it up cause he had to get the ball out, he knew he had guys there, he put it in a place that dropped over the DLs head into Grigsby arms... now what makes more sense, he just tossed a prayer that happened to work out or he's just being humble in his post game interviews? He knew where Grigsby was, he knew where Denmark was, he knew where the guys covering them were, he dropped the ball into Grigsbys hands.... Sounds to me like a qb who knew exactly what he was doing. Like I said in an earlier post, Khari Jones put up a lot of touchdowns by trusting his receivers to make a play on the ball. It's not a low % play call, it's a pretty solid play call. Let's be perfectly honest here, if Denmark takes his route deep into the corner of the endzone the pass is basically a wide open Grigsby catching a ball and everyone is hanging off Bellefeuilles nuts for a brilliant play. But as soon as it was a high throw Denmark and the guy covering came back and it looked a lot more dangerous than it was.

I didn't want Burris here but I hope he looks at what Winnipeg is doing and pouts every night. Same with Collaros, him especially I think figured he was hopping into a great situation and to have it blow up in his face is just great karma.

Is it really that low percentage though? RB on a linebacker or DL and just lob it over the coverage... Khari Jones put a lot of tds on the board just by putting the ball up and letting guys make a play on it why shouldn't Willy? Yes. Otherwise teams would always pass on second and 2 vs running the ball. running on 2nd and 2 has been the ultimate low percentage play for the Bombers for the past 4 years or so.

Grigsby is just a guy who need more space to operate in.
