    It's an interesting point, what recourse does the CFL have? The Riders have already shown they don't care and will happily pay fines to cheat, can the CFL escalate the punishment? Can they suspend Jones and make him stay away from the team on game day? Can they go further and forfeit games for them? That would get more attention than simply letting the Riders spend their way out of their issues.

    JohnnyOnTheSpot reacted to wbbfan in what matt nichols needs to win   
    The starting job / the game will be up for grabs tnite. If we manage to win it probably wont be a 1 dimensional win but this is what matt nichols needs to get and to do in order to win imop.
    Needs to do:
    -Get rid of the ball quickly. When hes playing well his mechanics are consistant and easy. When hes forcing you see him short arm balls, drop his hand to his belt and throw from with a wind mill wind up, and he doesnt follow through with his motion. 
    -Make good decisions. Hes prone to the gun slinging mentality. Its a double edged sword, he's got to make the right reads go through his progression and protect the ball. 
    -Convert. In the red zone, and on 2nd down. He doesnt have to light the world on fire but he's gotta keep the D off the field and medlock too.
     
    What he needs:
    -Some of the good strategy and tactics we saw from plop in hammer. Rolls, shovel passes, slide protection, moving the pocket, runs off tackle and any thing but up the gut.
    -A good game from the OL. We've given up the most sacks in the league so far this year, but edmonton has the fewest sacks on D. A good game up front to buy nichols some time, and let us pound the ball with harris would be huge. Itd allow us to set up play action, and keep pressure off him better.
    -The D to make plays. Our D has given up yards like crazy this year, and we've given up a lot of points. But we lead the league in forced fumbles, picks, and are mid way up on pass deflections. The eskes dont run the ball too well. If they beat us again itll be with the big passing plays. Our secondary is banged up, but we still have some play makers back there.

    A quick release combined with being a threat downfield on a regular basis. Look at Edmonton - teams have to respect the threat of their receivers downfield as well Bowman's ability to create YAC. That immediately leads to fewer players teeing off on their OL & QB.

    Showing my age here but I remember Don Jonas. he was the same way as you describe KJ. He was fearless & had a strong arm & the internal belief that he could complete every pass he made. So, he was a high risk, high reward qb. He'd throw into double coverage because he felt he could complete that darned pass no matter if he had bracket coverage. He won the 1971 CFL MOP Award & had something like 32 touchdowns & 30 interceptions. A stat that would be criticized today.  But the fans loved the guy because he was fearless & he played that way. I remember him throwing ints in the end zone or losing the odd game on a pick 6 but fans were okay with that because next game he would throw a 65 yd td pass & two more from close in. He was fun to watch.

He is in control of the outcome now.  What he does with it is going to definatively determine whether he is "done" with the Bombers or not.

    In recent CFL history, players faultering badly and finding a new notable life in football has occurred. A part of the Anthony Cavillo career story is how he had one step out the door for a number of seasons before finding his groove in Montreal. He did have to change teams several times to become the record setting qb that he became, but his career was salvaged, blossomed and will result in the HOF placement.

    Odell Willis and Adarius Bowman had some  kind words about Coach Harris....
     
    "And one former coach, in particular, stands out above the rest from their days there.
    Five years ago Tuesday, Bombers assistant head coach and defensive line coach Richard Harris died from a heart attack at age 63 after collapsing in the team’s office.
    “It wasn’t just a defensive thing, man,” said Bowman, who spent two seasons in Winnipeg before joining the Eskimos the same year it happened. “For most of us, he was almost like a father figure, especially in my case. And I know he touched Odell a lot from being around him.
    “We used to go for lunches and do a lot of things. Most of his talk wasn’t even about ball, it was about becoming a man. We were so young then, 22-23, and what’s crazy is it felt like all his words sunk in on me after I left there. But he definitely took the time to do that.”
    Not every coach does. Especially with a player from across the line of scrimmage. But suffice it to say that the 260-pound retired NFL defensive lineman recognized the unbridled potential in this pair of up-and-comers who might not have had the squeakiest of clean images early on in their football careers.
    “We didn’t understand the impact we could have off the field. He used to tell me, ‘Someone’s always watching, even when they’re not watching, A.D.,’ ” Bowman recalled. “And at the time, I’m like, ‘That sounds stupid.’ But I understand what he meant now. So that’s a coach that will always be with me.
    “I know that hurt a lot of us when that occurred. I remember when it was first announced, it just didn’t seem real. Coach Harris was a huge man that had a bigger heart. Some of the things he said is stuff I’m still learning now. He wasn’t my coach, but I felt like I’d do anything he said.”
    Willis doesn’t need any sort of anniversary to remember his former position coach.
    “He was one of the best, one of my favourites,” said Willis, whose Swaggerville teammates were always anchored in reality by Harris, regardless of how big their on-field persona would get. “I’ve never paid attention to how many years it’s been, when I think about him I just think about all the positive things and all the good stuff he did for us.
    “For a guy who didn’t have it easy to having almost everything in the NFL, he’d seen it from both sides. The older you get, the wiser you get, and that was just him. He could relate to everybody, whether you came off of the streets or came from a good family.”
    Regardless of the problem, Harris could always relate to it.
    “He knew one day we were going to become men,” Bowman said. “We’ve matured so much. And back then, I thought I was the coolest person walkin’. I hope I’m able to get older and have that smile and heart that he had. But also that fight.”

      I thought that comment was quite a stretch because it would take far more than Bowman to make Winnipeg a contender at this point, but it is a good point.

    Drew Edwards - Hamilton Spectator:
    -Challenges are up across the CFL this season — 1.6 per game versus 1.3 in 2015 — but Hamilton has challenged just twice, the fewest number in the league. Austin has, however, been correct both times. Across the league, coaches have been correct 51 per cent of the time so far compared to 34 per cent last season. Winnipeg leads the league with nine challenges, five of which have led to calls being changed. Only Calgary is without a successful challenging this season, going 0-for-4 so far in 2016.
    -With his two kick-return touchdowns this season, Brandon Banks has nine for his career, good enough for fifth all-time in Canadian Football League history.
    --Ticats lead the league in giveaways (12) and points allowed off of turnovers (31) but are also tops in take-aways (11) and points generated from turnovers (34). On defence, the Ticats have just one interception on the season (tied for the league low), but lead the CFL in fumble recoveries, with eight, and turnovers on downs, with four. On offence, Hamilton has yet to turn the ball over on downs this season. Hamilton has won the turnover battle in both their wins this season and lost it in both their defeats. The Ticats were 0-7 last season with a negative turnover differential and are 5-21 in the three-plus seasons under Austin.

    CFL coaches and managers give their anonymous thoughts on what they’re talking about behind closed doors:
    The GM's job is to get us players, and they don't have enough good players, but they'll just - fire coaches
    --  Hamilton's offensive line won't be able to block Edmonton's front 
    The Bombers are nothing if not consistent, even with all the free agents, money spent and draft picks invested. It's tough to see the same struggles three years in a row: the O-line, issues on all three sides of the ball and being outcoached more often than not ... 
    (Ottawa's) Abdul Kanneh is the most underrated defensive back out there. He's good and playing the toughest spot in the secondary: weak side halfback ... 
    The refs are ruining our game. We have more penalties than big plays. Four or five flags for every touchdown ... 
    I respect Chris Jones as much as anyone I coach against, but at 0-3 I don't think they can recover and make the playoffs ... 
    We have a 'national' problem, and we've only played three games. Where can we go get more national offensive lineman if we get another one hurt? Adding Ottawa, and not changing the ratio, was a big (bleep)-up ... 
    Don't sleep on No. 0 from B.C. (Loucheiz Purifoy). He's good ... Our Canadian depth is holding up decently. We added enough depth at all our spots but offensive line, which is like most teams.
    Don't have the figures for the Calgary game, but in the Edm. game Andrew Harris made tacklers miss or broke the tackle 16 times. TSN

    -In 2016, CFL clubs have converted 37-of-47 attempts on third down gambles of two yards or less. Edmonton and Ottawa have yet to fail at 7-for-7 and 3-for-3 respectively, while Calgary has been an excellent 9-of-10.
    -The game between Saskatchewan and BC last week featured a CFL rarity in that each club recorded a quarter with 20-plus points. It was Saskatchewan’s first 20-plus point quarter since getting 26 in the second Quarter on Sept. 7, 2014 at Winnipeg. It was the first time in almost six years since Oct. 11, 2010 (Winnipeg 47, BC 35) where both teams did it in the same game.
    -This year the REDBLACKS lead the CFL at 503.8 yards of net offence per game.
    They are first club since 1991 to threaten the 1956 Montreal Alouettes’ record mark of 532.6 yards per game. The last CFL club to exceed the 500-yard per game over a whole season was BC in 1991 at 506.5 per game. Only three teams have ever averaged over 500 net yards per game, the other being Montreal in 1955 (518.8 per game).
    -The areas where Saskatchewan has been the strongest thus far are in the passing game, third overall at 326 yards per game, and having allowed just four QB Sacks in three games (tied for first in the CFL). They have controlled the ball for 31:54 per game (second), and have yet to throw an interception

    If I were the CEO of Ottawa, there would be sufficient grounds to tear another strip off Ken Lazaruk for back-to-back contradictory PI calls in the Sask Ottawa game. 1st the uncatchable ball to Roosevelt, then the non-call, for one even worse on Williams.
    See the video... https://twitter.com/failedprotostar/status/756704892299931648
    I was curious on the uncatchable aspect in pass interference and found that in the NFL, they state - "Pass interference can only be called if the player could reasonable have made a play on the ball."
    "If the pass is deemed to be "uncatchable", pass interference rules do not apply in American college football or the NFL, and starting with the 2010 season they do not apply in Canada." Wikipedia.
    This is how I now thought it to be. 
    Then, I thought I would ask a minor league official -
    *****  just a quick question on your understanding of "uncatchable ball" in regards to pass interference. Is there consideration given to that aspect from a referee's viewpoint or no such thing? Have you ever been informed of such?
    RESponse - Yeah, we talk about that. Ultimately it's a judgement call, which is why I much prefer refs who have played. Players likes to say "don't tell me what I could or could not have caught" after being interfered with, so close calls tend toward being catchable more often than not, but ultimately, judgement call, thus highly debatable.

    ***So very true. The same cannot be said of the Bombers. They're floundering. (Struggling mightily - and it's not just the players)
    You have to ask, as Santino Filoso did, "at half-time last night Brad Sinopoli had 5 catches for 156 yards and 2 TDs. Then, in the 2nd half...nothing". So, why did that change? 
    What a matchup in the Edmonton-Hamilton game. The defensive front four of the Ticats battling against a pretty big O-line of the 'smoes. The evening out factor is Mike Reilly who reacts so quickly to get the ball away as pressure mounts.
    The other huge matchup, or mismatch if you will, is Bowman against the Ticat secondary. Bowman is having a field day! And then, there in the background, is Walker, who only scores TDs.
    Regarding Bowman..
    Interesting to hear that Adarius Bowman considers that catch he made in double coverage against the Bombers, to be the 2nd best catch in his entire career, including college.
    Edmonton, with every possible means for a thrashing at their disposal, lose that game...
    "Our offence didn’t help the defence, the defence was on the field too much in the 2nd half.”
    Winnipeg? No, Edmonton's Jason Maas.
    All's I can say is...I'm sure glad it wasn't the Bombers who fell apart like that. Things are bad enough.
    ZERO somersaults for the Edmonton defence....
    Only 5 FIVE penalties in the entire game and Edmonton didn't get any. What? 
    But, but, but, didn't the Bombers beat Masoli?
    As we all know the Bombers have recently been hit hard with injuries. The infuriating part, for me, is we now have no real idea how long these guys will be out. This is because of the current regime's insistence on not releasing relevant information. Such as the actual injury. Instead it's cloak and dagger. Because, well we have to keep other teams in the dark. Yeah, like they need that help. Ex. Johnny Adams "yeah, not ready","we'll see", "maybe next week"
    Now, with all these injuries, we know they won't be "2 weeks" - more like "we'll tell you the same in two weeks.

    6'3" Alexandre Dupuis, the nullifier, doing a good job blocking Bear Woods off R. Ray.

    The comparison to Aaron Kelly is legit imo...  Adams makes one or two 'wow' plays but takes twice as many plays off.
    He looks checked out of the game - both last game and the one before, Willy was ready to throw to him and he seemed to be running a different route/not looking.
    Running the 8 yard hooks... ?  Dunigan/Stegall put that on the receiver not the OC
    Doesn't fight for the ball, doesn't hustle back to huddle, doesn't really block or pick... 
    Adams is a decent depth receiver... but who would ever compare Dressler/Adams to Bowman/Walker, Jackson/Williams or even Collins/Roosevelt
    Adams is not a #1 WR.... Barker/Milanovich saw it, why can't Walters/Osh

    The one thing I noticed Nichols doing that Willy wasn't. Was looking off his intended receiver. Willy wouldn't look away from where he was going the entire time. Nichols did, not always. But he at least attempted too.

    The defence gave up 26 pts in a good weather game.  That's low enough that we have a chance to win.  Not the defense's fault.  I was quite impressed with the CFL rookie laden secondary of Jones, Roberts, Loffler, Fogg and Morgan.  For the first time together, they weren't that bad.
    Corney looked great on his plays, disrupting the footwork of BLM.
    Special teams weren't special.  Me flick was great, poor returns and penalties killed us.
    As for the offence, it was terrible.  Willy's stats are okay, but the team isn't consistent, cannot sustain drives, and cannot build momentum.  Passes are completed, but the ball isn't always in places where the receivers can run.  YAC is no where near where it needs to be for our team.
    Maybe Jake needs to be an lineman.  Not bad for a "rookie".  He'd probably give more push on running plays.  Where's Eric Wilson when you need him??
    At the end of the day, this is a QB league and ours isn't winning us games.   Trade BLM for Willy and we win that game 12 times out of 10.  (Yes... 12.  I know it's impossible, but so is giving 110%)

    attitude and personality are one thing...I don't want straight up assholes. Maybe MOS goes too far with what he's looking for, but I agree with it in principle. There's gotta be a middle ground somewhere.

    Just watching the way this team always crawls out of the gate......indicates a lack of jam.
