  1. Simon kinda got where he did due to longevity more than being just flat out exceptional.

    Looking at stats Simon played 237 games, Pitts 176 games and Milt played 199

    Simon's yards were 16 352 for 15.9 average on 1029 receptions 103 TD'S

    Pitt's yards were 14891 for 15.4 average on 966 receptions 117 TD'S

    Stegall yards were 15154 for 17.7 average on 854 receptions 144 TD's

    Looking at that Stegall is undoubtedly the best of all time....did all his in less games, less catches and with so many different QB's a good majority of who were garbage. It's not even a debate. That doesn't even put into consideration his insane TD numbers which will never be matched.

    Pitt's is very comparable yardage wise but played in a time they used primarily 4 receivers so seen more balls come his way hence his higher number of receptions even though he played fewer games

     

  2. He prob figured someone was grabbing it intentionally..and yeah it was gold..lol

    Really like the attitude that our boys Bond..Chungh and Hardrick bring to the offense.. and it rubs off on others a d they all play hard..Loved the on Darvin Adams catch and run..lookwd for more yack and ran right through the one DB to get prob 5 extra yards. 

    Once the team sees how Harris goes hard and works his ass off and how the line is dictating and being assertive and tough other guys follow suit. Even Washington's one catch and run was the same.

    These guys are a team and wanting to go through walls for each other..this is a good sign and I like the direction we are headed

  3. Marcus Ball turning around and giving the finger toward the Bomber bench or a player early in the first quarter?

    In my experience have seen that called as an objectional conduct penalty and not sure how it was missed.

    If u pvr'd the game watch for it as there was a camera isolated on him. He seemed all game to be in a whiny baby mood..or online really got under his skin..

  4. yeah I would re-up Westerman for 2 more after this year...be foolish not too..Him, Corney, and Mulumba would be a nice rotation keeping them all fresh. We could realistically go with 2 import tackles and 2 National ends as a starting line with Ekakitie as nice National rotational depth allowing us to have either an OPO or a Jeffcoat on roster too...thats if he (Mulumba) gets here.

    Now imagine what could have been done if Bilukiki  didn't decide to quit and panned out as a dominant National Tackle...

  5. Actually the defense hasn't been that bad.

    We rank 1st in yds/game allowed rushing (an area we needed to shore up)

    1st in interceptions and have played 1 less game and middle of road in sacks (again in one less game)

    We last in yds/game allowed passing though, and in points allowed, though that is a bit scewed as we only played 2 games and if we have a decent outing tomorrow it will  bring us somewhere in the middle.

    Some of the passing yards allowed and points against would most likely be better if Johnson was in, or as it seems anybody but Roc as well as 7 points were on a pic 6 too, so not the fault of the defense.  So after 2 games people shouldn't be alarmed on where things are at defensively until 5-6 games are played, then revisit.

    The run defense is only going to get better I think once they get rolling, with  Loffler/Randle/Heath you can't do any better than that in the league and Alexander has been a real nice addition and Moe is probably the best SAM in the league...top 2 at worst

    . Fix up that other HB spot and this defense will be dominant. It's just a matter of how our other 2 linebacker's pan out, and if we have a dominant d-line and a group of ball hawking DB's our linebackers don't need to be all-world...assignment sound, tough and smart will do just fine

  6. that's all he played in pre-season so slotting in there would not be as foreign as him dropped in the HB spot.

    That being said you don't move anyone else anywhere and disrupt several areas of a defense. Start him there if you have to, but first sign of same ol same ol he gets pulled for whomever the extra DB is on game day roster, or I would flip Randle in there and and allow Jones to play boundary corner...that would give us the best in game backfield tweek

  7. Burnett tho is used to the looks...waggle...motions...Roc isn't yet. i think too he is gun shy and intimidated by it now from being burned by it and is now playing way off leaving the mid range zone way too open.

     

  8. Well not the desired results we wanted but what I take away from the game being there and then re-watching PVR today is more positives then negatives.

    Firstly though I must say the reffing needs to tighten up. That horrible c'mon center reversal of Randle's perfectly legal jam within the 5 yard zone, and resulting drive from it cost us points as well as the injury to Wild which hurt us rest of game. Don't be surprised to see him in a cast with a broken arm or wrist..i suffered same thing myself on a similar play and that's my opinion on that.

    Saw some good things with Ekakite as well as Corney progressing to the point that rotation with them will not be a drop off in play and keep everyone fresh.

    A series of plays in the 2nd quarter Faith had nice push and collapsed pocket and was very key in knifing in and being a major contributor of the 5 goal line stuffs...as it was he got replaced on the 6th attempt and where his gap would have been I bet his penetration would have pushed that play deeper or slowed up the receiver and he may have been caught.

    Please get healthy Mr Johnson...after a few bad mistakes in first half costing us Roc was playing scared..overcompensating to not get beat over top and Calgary exploited it with guys just dropping off..sitting down and that's why it was so frustrating watching all those uncontested catches which basically did us in.

    Randle, Heath, Loffler and Alexander are real good and steady and we get that other halfback spot fixed and you will see a huuuuge difference. We got wore down that game and hey it happens...Offence had a off night and that's the result of it.

    Brain farts and missed chances...again on offence cost us early, and we couldn't recover. Nichols won't be lights out every night and let's just see if that was an anomaly and not and indicator of where he is at. Dropped balls didn't help him either so not too worried there.

    We know we prob have the best all round back in Harris, so that is not an issue and we are going to have games where he is just going to wear a defence down and open it up for our receivers who i think are underated but I like that.

    I think tho Lapo has to abandon the amount of short hooks and curls he uses as teams are sitting on that, unless he is game planning to have that seem to be the norm and setting things up to mix in vertical routes and catch teams jumping our receivers...we shall see.

    Not really worth getting up in arms yet or worrying until after the 4 game mark..thats when you know whats what.

    Pieces are here, it's just a matter of putting them in the right spots, and truthfully this team as it is now will win more than it loses.
