Booch

Neufeld as well was key on that pull...after the first few games getting back up to game speed he has been more than solid and at the right time too...Images of him steam rolling Rider dlineman in last years WSF bouncing around in my head and taking Judge 15 yards down the fteld then tossing him down like a kid and calling him a biatch never gets old

and just imagine being on the filed and involved in it...TV gives no justice to the speed of the game one bit. Makes me shake my ead sometimes when fans say "why didn't he throw it here"..or "didn't he see that guy there"...**** moves so fast and furiously at times that you don't have a nanosecond to look ..see..or decide...thats why experience is so key and reps..reps..reps make a guy good...you react and instructively do things without thinking or deciding which 90 percent of the time is the difference between success and failure in a play

awesome...thiings you don't see when not at the game...or at least i didnt notice it on TV Just like at Banjo Bowl..they didn't show it on TV but after one TD he grabbed a flag from one of the flag dudes and proceeded to jam it into the turf..if it was a natural field it would have stuck in the ground...

I post on both...enjoy both equally and don't really notice a real difference...the one thing that I notice at the other forum is that there are more fans there who are just that fans...and don't have extensive football knowledge or back ground in it, but are hard core fans, and they use the forum as an avenue to learn and educate themselves, and seem appreciative for it Here you have some savy vets of the game in varying degrees, which leads to a bit more intense and at times heated discussion, and a bit more mud slinging, but I find that fun and entertaining and rarely offensive in any way...if yiou can dish it...you gotta be able and expect to take it right back

Well if he was bringing up schemes with Beneviedes he used pre-game and how he hated what he did against him, pretty certain he still remembers what Sask was doing the past 2 years..and this could be integral in the game..

Love me some Hardrick! Saw Drew on Monday...didn't see no apparent injury issue with him

This West final is shaping up into a similar situation as last years West Semi when we went into Sask and ran for 201 yards and held a 5 min T.O.P advantage. But I think this year this team is better built for this playoff style...Harris is not as banged up..Nichols was playing with a couple ailments, and our defense wasn't as good as this year, and we didn't have Jefferson which will be huge I'd be shocked if we didn't roll up the same amount of rushing yards, if not more as going in this year we have a motivated QB whom I am certain wants to stick it to the Rider's and his ability to push the ball downfield will open up more running lanes, and once the ground and pound gets going in a game it is really hard to stop it and it's really demoralizing on a defense.. We are as healthy as you could want, save for Strev's foot but that didn't seem to stop him, almost spurned him on even more, so if the guys lay it all on the line we win...because across the board there is more talent (and depth) wearing blue than Green and thats not just looking through blue glasses..anyone who thinks otherwise isn't a very good judge of talent

They didnt and cant handle our run..or oline ..we had 186 on ground in game with augustine in for Harris...195 on ground in banjo bowl..and 116 in final game where we only ran it 21 times..that of the piss poor game plan we employed that game So we ran for 497 yards in 3 games..and see more of the same in WF..especially now they have to respect the pass I wouldn't be surprised to see close to 200 on ground..if not eclipsing 200

Yeah..I see Willy feasting on that Oline...almost sense a no doubter victory...

Will have to thank Rod for giving Zack even more incentive and fire to rip them a new one..u can already tell he is motivated to stick it to him when he is biting his tongue not really commenting on it..cant wait to watch it unfold

The basic essence of offensive play calling and scheming since the beginning of time

Fear is setting in nicely

This was playoff prep weeks leading into the playoffs..and smart coaches wont show full arsenal until Crunch We've been sitting on this and running ot in practice for weeks now..a lot of the last few close workouts were reps for playoff schemes..and the last couple were fine tuning it...it wasnt implemented this week..or a big "adjustment" at the half like some think..u dont roll out a flawless overhaul in 6 days with no hiccups It was pre planned for yesterday and these next 2 weeks..and I'll bet you Sask is gonna see some additional tweaks as well and its gonna be a sack fest with multiple turn overs

He surpassed the Fever last yr

He isnt just a runner..he is a great running QB who is young and learning defences...as he only has after this year 3 years experience as an actual high level starter as a qb He passed for over 4100 yards and over 30 tds in his senior year..that's not what running qbs do... Fajardo on other hand never eclipsed 2800 yards in college or 20 tds..and was a definitive prototypical running qb..and was solely that for his first 3 years in canada leading up to this yr..his reason for more success throwing over Strev at this point is experience in the league..and CFL defences..given strev now has 2 years..and more actual starting experience under his belt than your average backup he will continue to progress..he has this year already significantly..he has a better arm..is a better runner..and has a better "it" factor..and it finally dawned on me who he throws like when I was away in cali and seen players up close and its Phillip Rivers..and he has done just fine..and that throwing motion is less likely to have shoulder issues..as shown by his relatively healthy career

Get

U didnt see last years?

In Winnipeg we beat them..soundly..in regina they won..yes the record says so..but

Dont then...And i wouldn't say they "beat" us twice...

Sask matched up wayyyy better against CGY and am pretty sure they wanted to face them in the WF and did not wanna face WPG Well worst case scenario has happened for them..this is not what they wanted regardless what that inept fanbase claims Only reason they chirped they wanted bombers is the delusions of grandeur they would knock us out of the Grey Cup and that wont be happening

In football a lot of times miscues and mistakes are direct result of scheme faced...wrong route on several throws were due to bomber coverage being different after snap from what they showed pre snap..and did all year causing CGY confusion and not allowing receiver to be were they wanted to be..and db's being in spots post snap were they normally wouldn't have been..hence the 3 pics..plus we dropped a couple too..

Fartado led league in passing (yards only) only because he was able to play pretty much the whole season..took over after first drive in game one and sat out only last game of year. Was 6th in TD passes and the 7th and 8th guys (nichols and Harris) were 2 and 3 tds behind him and they missed a lot of games Hardly a QB to strike fear into defenses with his arm in the best of conditions..and 100 percent healthy which he isnt...we play a clean game and control the lines like we did basically all yr against them..we win easily

The game was a combination of better coaching...players out performing others..and new schemes on both sides of ball to confuse CGY..basically playoff mode ball by well prepped team. BLM was piss poor solely due to what he was seeing..and wasnt comfortable save for the first drive all game. On offense the second half "adjustment" was just a continuation of what was game planned from the start...they felt them out..and like Collaros said in the presser got CGY to reveal how they were gonna roll on defense all day and they exploited it..with pre-planned scheme. I guarantee you as well we got a dose of Streveler light in first half to give full dose in second half to wear down and hammer it home as it got colder and players got more tired and to preserve him for crunch time and grind out the game..and it worked flawlessly...well done coaching staff and well done team for executing it...plain and simple that's what happened.

Truthfully we could..and should have won all 3 against the riders..and were missing key peices in some regard in all games (Harris..Nichols..Alexander.) and played them basically when we were in our funk. We now have legit QB play to worry about coupled with our triple headed running threat..solidified the backend with Taylor and Maston and replaced Hecht with Alexander and are basically healthy..I see no reason we lose other than the divine intervention of some piss poor one sided referreing..

Now there is the distinct possibility ol crafty Richie Hall has flipped the switch and changed up the defensive philosophy for the playoffs..and if so kudos to him and can guarantee you on the closed practices we have been running it a lot so will be well versed in it. If BLM couldn't figure it out, there is no way in Regina (hell) Fartado can..if he is even playing or healthy enough to make any impact. Can just see it now about Rider fans whining about losing again cause they had to play backup QB and the irony of it will be they lost to a combination of our backup and a guy they tossed away and didnt give a chance again to because they got enamoured with Fartados mediocrity and flash in a pan play..he is in no way shape or form top tier starter material over the long term
