  11. Lions v Bombers Part 2

    It's a shame Parker isn't on the roster. He's looked great whenever he's played this year.

    To be fair, Burtenshaw is mostly just a ST guy and has rarely played any FB.

    Ya he's not really of any use on offense. 

    The plan must be to have Jackson really involved in blocking. 

    DL depth is thin. Would kill to have a couple useful CDN rotational guys right now.

    What makes u say that....has just as fast in the 40...and is more explosive and has better fast twitch that u can easily see when he closes, or moves in to make a play

    Just saying that because it seems most DBs struggle out in space to make plays on the ball. Holm has been noticeably make plays. Not a a knock on Parker, don't remember too well how he did on deep balls last year.

    The same argument could be made for going for the pick... Look what almost happened to CAL last week in SSK.

    Mitchell was coming back over the top of Houston. If he tries to push the ball away, Mitchell very well could have ripped it out.

    Were they even going for the pick last week? Hard to tell because it was such a poor attempt at catching the ball.

    I’ll definitely take it, it’s going to happen with the cover corners who don’t see a lot of targets. It was the same thing with Alford. Often gets forgotten that the other team gets paid to play too. Just as much as Houston can jump a route successfully, the other team can bait him successfully.

    Overall, I’d take Houston as easily one of the top 2-3 corners in the CFL. Seems like guys like BVD prefer a player like Abu who gets targeted 10 times a game for 6 first downs, because he limits gains to just past the first down marker as a sure tackler. That’s not to rag on ADS either, but there’s an obvious reason why teams are picking on him - it’s better than throwing it to the other side of the field.

    My only complaint about Houston as he seems to get beat over the top for huge gain at least once a game. But it happens to aggressive corners who are out on their own. If they bite on a double move its over.  Hope the coaches are coaching him up on when its clear teams are trying to set him up for a deep shot.

    the same can be said about Holm...But he lacks the tackling talent of ADS....Thats why Parker is our best option at the other HB spot...he's twitchy fast like Nichols to actually break up that pass...or to close before the first down stick and kill drives....plus he is a fierce tackler and physical....if by week 10 or Db's arent Rose/Nichols/BA/Parker /houston then something is wrong...thats our best starting 5

    Agree Parker would be better up near the line and against the run. I'll bet Parker isn't breaking up all those passes 40 yards down field though. 

    Holm has great ball skills on deep shots. Times his jump and make plays to knock it down. Maybe he'd be a good cover safety.
