Honest question. Who are the other teams bringing in mid season that have made a big difference and improved them?

Yea it has nothing to do with the defence not being able to stop anything....i mean worse to or close to worse in yards given up 3 years straight is an Offensive problem...not defense. All football minds know that.

They've played better than I thought they would. Mostly on the arm of KG who played better than I thought he would...though I will give Jones credit for pulling him when he needs to be pulled (something other coaches didn't always do). On the play of Carter in D. Am I the only one who actually watched him? Balls being over thrown/under thrown don't make me impressed with his play. His pick 6 was 100% an under throw. The REC was behind him, it was just a poorly thrown pass. He didn't make a great play on the ball, he did have a nice run for the TD though I'll give him that. He was also beat on a Deep pass in the 1st half that was just over thrown. So while he made a good play once the ball was in his hands, his coverage skills aren't all that impressive. I'm getting tired of hearing about how good he was as a DB. He flat out got lucky. End of story. I pray to god that he needs to line up against Darvin in the playoffs.

was that during their 7-0 start or the 0-6 streak after that? Poor choice as an example is all I'm saying. CGY or even SSK would have been better.

I believe that was for punting

"punishing" a player by moving them to another position where they can then show they are actually more versatile and then use that in negotiations to earn more money....Do you see why that makes no sense? You don't punish pro athletes by allowing them to show off their skills. You punish them by not paying them (however that may look, fine, suspension etc etc etc)

I also don't like that he likely has a pretty good take on the bombers playbook....Jones is a dirty **** and I wouldn't put it past him to sign this guy for that reason alone.

honestly surprised he hasn't gone back. At the very least it opens up the fakes again. Coates isn't a threat to take it a run.

Gotta wonder what's up. He leaves the Blue apparently due to not enough playing time, and ends up on the Riders who have a stronger Rec group. I don't see how he cracks that lineup without injuries.

Even when he made that late one he looked like he was going to cry. Im assuming his mental toughness is high, but it sure didnt look like it yesterday.

I refuse to say they lost on a missed field goal....they lost cause the D couldn't have stopped a high school team from moving the ball. I hope they're all embarrassed at that performance. One of the worst ive ever seen. An 11-5 team needs to be better.

Him being a **** isnt what keeps him out of the NFL. Its him being dumber than a door knob. Honestly, that guy is a stereotypical football player. All athlete and no brains. Its difficult just listening to him. Couldnt imagine trying to teach him.

Cant see it being porter. That would leave them very thin in the backfield....though i guess Jones can play cb....

It was one week. Dressler went down the game after he quit. Would be a shame if that's how his career ended.

Not sure the need is there. Does he play SAM or WIL?

hhmmm...wonder if they have any interest in Burnett?

Damn this hurts. Where TF is that CODY poster....giving me hope and all that ****!! "sources" my ass!!!!

Yes obviously it's everyones job. I was just stating the obvious. When this team looks for a big play. They look to Leggett, the same way CGY looks to Singleton.

I see what you mean. And you're likely right in terms of changing things to fit the player, especially if they are the star type like ELI or Singleton etc. But The bombers have had other players in that role and the results are similar. Not saying Hurl can't be upgraded, his pass coverage alone gives me shivers. But he isn't the play maker on this D. The MLB has't been the play maker for 3 years now.

He's not supposed to be (apparently anyway) that is Leggetts Job. And he's the best at it. He's now out due to injury. Santos Knox has looked legit in his starts and Hurl is the gap filler. WPG isn't the only team with a weak link on D/the LB core. There isn't a team in the league that couldn't upgrade there. People need to stop looking at the MLB as the Play maker in this system. He just isn't. Hasn't been for 3 years now. Multiple players have had similar results. Not saying Hurl couldn't be upgraded, just saying whoever goes in there won't be the next Singleton.

Im fine with Wild watching the rest of the games. I think he's a bit overrated.

If quitting on a route that would have at least ended in 3 points won't do it....I'm not entirely sure.

Not technically true, as Thorpe was ahead of him, but injury gave Washington the opportunity. Granted one could argue that was his chance to take the reigns and not let Thorpe get them back. But with the way Oshea works, I doubt he would have let someone lose their spot due to injury. But the fact he's still on the team, is evidence enough that he's shown something...I'm not trying to say the guy is a star in the making. Just that, he hasn't really shown anything either way but the coaches obviously feel he's got some talent.

didn't impress you. The coaches obviously see something. And it's not like he's had much opportunity.

ugh...that explanation doesn't hold up. Contacting the head is a penalty by accident or not!!!!! GOD DAMN IT CFL!!!!! I wouldn't be so annoyed if I couldn't remember complaining about inconsistent REFS 10 years ago. I know the stats show it's gotten better, but it's still aggravating as ****!!!! especially around big game changing plays like that.
