  2. Mos Class vs Marino Cheap Shot

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    generally in CFL a DT and or NT will in effect draw 2 guys in blocking....it's just how things are schemed a lot...so saying Marino was very effective is a bit of a stretch...You can get same kind of attention and production from pretty much any interior guy...minus the penalties' and stupidity, and all the distractions that go with it.

    Now if he was blowing plays up behind line of scrimmage constantly, pushing lineman into QB..piling up sacks and or tackles....it would be a different story....but he wasnt.

    Are they weaker tho due to this...likely, as the team environment there now has a huge dent in it, and other losers there are now gonna play a bit less agressively, for fear of being next....and slap that right on CD for not dealing with all the BS earlier...and by earlier I mean last yr already

    Highly doubt it was league driven...pretty much certain the league cant...or wont tell you that you have to cut a guy 

    The Riders are scrambling big time and I think this was the sacrificial lamb to try and create the illusion that they have things under control and are doing things to right the ship..nothing more...and vet contracts being garuanteed...well Marino's likely piddly entry level contract wont impact them as much as the higher paid idiots like ****** William's.. Marshall...Edam...was an attempt to "send a message" as cheaply and as cowardly as possible...but really not changing anything there.

    Only two pages so far on riderfans regarding this and its like 80% think its a mistake. Quotes of "the guy is a beast, hell be signing with another team like tonight, the hit on Collaros was nothing/Collaros is a baby, management gave in to peer pressure". F*** me i hate that fan base.

     

    Yeah...clowns...if he such a beast his stats sure dont reflect it...

    That 2001 team had a lot of arrogant blowhards playing for them with their heads in the clouds. Dave Ritchie  refused to bring them back down to Earth & tell them to shut up. The 2001 Bombers were the same as the Ti Cats in 2019 thinking the Stamps would just lay down & let them win. Well, all that preening, arrogance & trash talk fired up the Stamps who still had a large core of veteran players from the 98 & 99 Grey Cup games who were insulted. We lost that game by Wednesday of Grey Cup week. Everytime I think of that 2001 Grey Cup game, i still get angry. It didn't have to happen!!

    The 2022 addition of the Bombers aren't anything like the 2001 team. they atre much more mature. We have a team that has won back to back championships. They approach game preparation totally different. All business. They don'r mouth off. They respect their opponents. If any of today's Bombers acted the way some of the 2001 Bombers did in the media that year, I think Mike O'Shea & veterans like Stanley Bryant, Pat Neufeld, Adam Bighill & Brandon Alexander would put a stop to it. O'Shea's teams aren't bombastic. 

    yyup...no attitude or arrogance ere....maybe some self criticism and need/desire to get better...be better, and not let your brothers down...this team....well really this organization is wired differently than u usually see...prob wont see other than here...hence the 28-4 record since 2019...2 cups...and a good shot to be in our 3rd straight....It's all about who and what you bring into the building here that sets the tone...took a good 3 years to build it...but since then it's just been getting more solid as we roll along

    Yup...regardless of the players involved would be..and should be flagged...the only difference with your scenario is Fajardo would have rolled around and mad eit seem like he was shot....limped away...and then would have whined about it post game

    I’m thinking pretty confidently that you take the exact same play but take out Marino and Collaros and insert WJ and CF, we still know it’s a penalty and has no place in the game.

    TB is maintaining that this was a football play and legal. He was on about the OPI too earlier. He seems to take the pulse of the forum on any issue and just create cockamamie arguments against the flow of traffic. Must get his kicks from it or something.

    same with the phantom WJ rouging the passer

    I don't think he ever had it.  The behavior has been the same through his time there - he's never been able to control his players.

    yup....and when u bring in idiots....who are self proclaimed "leaders"...well u get what we see

    I agree....but at least he was able to get them to play good football. Good enough to win more than they lost anyway. Now they are just in a complete meltdown.

    I still think they won more than they should of due to smoke and mirrors....fluke luck, and some favorable things that always seemed to flop in their laps...

    “Ugh guys I’m worried, I allow them to be racist, spit on people, swing helmets at opponents, keep their spot in the starting lineup for months no matter how many penalties they take, refuse to take post-game drug tests, pass out in their cars on Ring Road and cry about fans being mean to them on social media but I feel like they won’t think I have their backs unless I waste my challenge flag!”

    but gosh they played hard

    I don't understand at all why he would ever admit to that publically. Just makes him look stupid. It's one thing to do it in the heat of the moment, but certainly after the way the game played out he must have realized it was a really stupid move. But hey, let's tell the world how dumb I am.

    Clearly this is a coach who very tangibly feels the fact that he is losing the room.

    did he ever have it?....and just looking at him on sidelines he just looks totally stunned

    I've been saying for at least the last 8 games that if we are within 3 at half-time, we are going to win.  Montreal game was weird for so many reasons (7-7 at half-time).

    I honestly haven't thought that the Bombers were going to lose a game all year after the opening kickoff.

    I'll admit to being a little stressed at times...

    yeah the Mtl game was an odd one...burn out ans nagging nicks did us in I think.....and even then....if Leggs hits that totally makeable FG we still would have won....but looking back glad we lost that one, as going deep into the season undefeated may have influenced us to do things and play guys where it may have bit us in ass with a bad injury to the wrong guy

    U also have to factor in our defensive backfield and to lesser extent WIL has been a revolving door due to injuries all year long....thats huge...if and when we can get our guys all back, or get some back and solidify a spot with a new guy...and not have to replace them we will be just fine.....tho I still think we need a DT that garners a constant double team...we are lacking there

    Lawrence is a much, much better player. His dirtbag antics do compromise his talent but it's apples and oranges when compared to Marino.

    Marino is a no-talent bum. Full stop. 

    lawrence is good...and a difference maker....and he's moreso tarnished from dumb decisions and a bit of a reckless style of play...that being said he is not I dont think trying to inflict an injury, or has mental issues...other than he yaps incessantly..tho we have guys who do too...Marino is a whole diff level of P.O.S

    It feels like the defence is getting by more on reputation than actual performance as of late .. symptom of a depleted team for sure but I don't have the same confidence that this unit can shut the door like they have in the past.  We have holes on all three levels of that defence.  Hoping to see a stronger, more dominant performance at home.

    Getting Couture back this week would be huge and hopefully his helps us establish a running game early.  Brady struggled a bit last game.  Saw a little of the dancing that made him ineffective early in the year but Saskatchewan also played the run well.  

     

     

    I dunno.....teams still rarely score TD's...we giving up less than 20 a game....there def is a method to our madness...I'm not too concerned...if we can put up a minimum of 20...25 points a game...9 times outta 10 we gonna win...anything more basically a guaranteed win

    I agree to an extent, but the halftime adjustments have still been excellent for us. Our first half D (especially first Q) has been absolutely nothing to write home about.

    I’m holding out hope that we can maybe find ourselves some kind of WIL from the NFL cuts because we really do not need to be trotting out guys like Briggs, Clements or Gauthier no matter how much heart and soul they bring. Wouldn’t mind seeing more push from the interior DL either.

    yup....If we could find a killer Wil...and a true middle of the dline freak....we'd be set...
