Disagree. It's shoulder to chest first. 

Contact with the head first IMO but it's almost simultaneous.  Williams right shoulder is chin level at the moment of contact but comes down to chest level as he is exploding through.  The receiver did duck into it a bit so I'm not sure what else Williams could have done.

He first broke into head coaching in 2015 as the interim hc of ssk. He’s been the rbs hc since 22. Two full seasons plus almost a half. 
 We are way way past learning quickly on the job. 
 

I love bobby dyce. Great football mind, excellent talent evaluator, tremendous guy. 
 He’s been coaching in the league for 22 years and he’s already 2.5 into this hc job. The leash is gonna be real short on him, and if it doesn’t work out he doesn’t likely get another hc shot short of some thing miraculous. 

Yup, that was his 50th game as a CFL HC... If he hasn't figured it out yet, I don't think he's going to.

Nice to see their entire fan base travels with the club.

Who tf is getting these teams ready? 2 games start with the wrong amount of players on the field. 

In another thread somebody has said the first 2 games may as well be preseason games and that's not wrong from what we've seen so far.

Y'all act like you forgot about McDrai......

Loved that the goal came right after the announcers were harping on McDavid for not having a playoff PP goal this year.  Doesn't need to score himself if he can set-up Leon to finish it off like he did last night.

Let's not take anything away from how overrated Milligan was last year. That was ******* absurd and based on almost nothing. 

Just the colour of his jersey.  Stick him on any other team and his name would have barely been mentioned last year.

The first line of the article says "The Blue Bombers made a move that surprised some fans"... either I have no idea what the casual fan thinks (due to getting all my info here) or the media is completely clueless... I come to that conclusion also referencing the pre-game show from pre-season game one where they were talking about vets who might be at risk of either being cut or losing playing time... and Ed Tait went on to say (paraphrasing here) "a lot of fans will be shocked to hear this but I think Jake Thomas will start getting less reps this year"... Do most casual fans think he's a stud?

PS... this is not meant to start more conversation about JT... more about casual fans   

If Facebook comments can be used to measure the intelligence of an average fan, then it would not surprise me in the least if that was how he was perceived.

Welcome back for another year FatBoi Thomas! Still producing after all these years. And CANADIAN!!

An actual FB comment from when he got re-signed in January.  My question would be what has he actually been producing other than an enormous amount of message board posts?

The team that tried to re-sign him 5 months ago. 

He was already under contract for 2025 and he wanted to stay but that doesn't change the fact they cut him twice because they were too far apart when it came to money.  Why would the 3rd time be the charm? 

Unless he's willing to take less money, I don't see how that changes - at least right now.  A couple of injuries and guys on the 6 game could free up cap space for the Lions to bring him in later on.

I am pulling for David Wallis to be the returner. He's come a long way since being Michael Scott's boss.

And Wallis is the first release today.  Cut to make room for Kody Case, who came off the suspended list.

Florida now has 3 of the top 4 players taken in the 2014 draft.  What a draft year that was!  We took Ehlers (which was a great choice) but we could have had Pasternak! Dylan Larkin as well.  That's how deep that draft was.  As for Drai, I got to see him play here in Kelowna in 2015, when the Rockets mortgaged their future and made the trade for Drai and Morrissey for their Memorial Cup run that year.  I was surprised that Drai didn't go first overall.

That draft would look very different if it were done again.  Florida might not have a "generational" guy but the weather and lack of taxes sure let's them get a bunch of high end guys.

Wayne Gretzky - hid him from 1979 draft year because of personal contract service with PP.

Leon Draisaitl  - Third Overall pick in 2014 entry draft rewarded for losing.

Connor McDavid - First Overall pick in 2015 entry draft rewarded for losing.

Again, my jealousy and petty exaggerations has no bounds. 

Leon is great but I don't consider him a generational talen and I don't think anyone expected him to be as good as he's been. 

McDavid has been the promised one since he was a kid while some "experts" (like Button or McKenzie) had Leon rated 4th or lower in his draft year.   We're splitting hairs though - A++ vs A+ is still exceptional.
