I posted it above but here it is again. Go to the 43 second mark in the video highlights.

Thanks! Hit was much tamer than I thought it would be.

Anyone have a clip of the Alexander hit? Missed the second half and haven't seen it anywhere.

Looking forward to seeing what McKnight can do. Had a great camp from all reports I saw.

1. Collaros - ability to move around and keep eyes down field was great to see
2. Oliveira - great job pounding the ball to wind down the game
3. DLine - would have had several sacks if Masoli wasn't so good a dumping the ball while being taken down
HH - Mike Jones - forced a fumble and don't think I saw him miss a tackle.

I can only speak to what I saw....
The young man who scanned my card wasn't checking ID. Just scan and go. Also, security reminded him TWICE to stay in one place and not try to work up and down the line, potentially missing people.
Thanks JCon! Disappointed to hear they weren't doing a great job checking.

Didn't attend but am curious about how the vaccine checks went. Heard anecdotally that they weren't checking some people at all.

So they waste a ton of time on this global plan which has produced one decent player and then do things like this? Only in the CFL.
Because the commish writes the CBA all by himself and no one has to approve it right?
How does the global program have anything to do with this? -
Not sure if Walker will command the same salary as last year. The market might adjust down a bit for receivers.
I think Walker could be deadly with Collaros, so that would be nice to see.
Would love to see Adams back too.

If I was Wade Miller and heard stuff like that, you wouldn't be working there anymore.
Good thing I don't work for the Bombers then and that my anxiety has no effect on the team's results.

I honestly don't care one iota what happens this off season, in terms of player retention. I got a Cup in my lifetime which I was legitimately worrying night not happen, so at this point I can just die happy. Ha ha. Whatever happens this next season... Meh.
I'm not quite as not caring as you but I know what you mean. All the anxiety I've felt in past off-seasons seems to have disappeared this year.

A NI at S would be huge. Stove and Nevis at DT are an underrated force.
While a NI would be nice, Alexander really excelled there. Huge turn around on D once he took over at safety.

agreed...was same script...the only thing I think that was different tho was Zack in the pocket...his pocket presence and ability to move around in it to make the deeper shots when needed...not sure Nichols would have been able to do that on all the occasions Collaros did...but guess we will never know...and for now....who cares hahaha
Agree totally. Collaros seemed to move in the pocket a bit better and attack down field more.

1. Harris
2. The Jeffs - absolutely dominated the tackles for Hamilton
3. Mike Jones - huge hits and key play to break up that deep pass
HH - Hansen for blowing up the blocker and returner on that kick return
Bonus stars - O-line ripped some huge holes for Harris and kept the QBs upright

Last drought ended beating Hamilton in Alberta. Let's do it again!

Looks like Hamilton practiced indoors today, while the Bombers held theirs outside. Is it even that cold in Calgary today?

2011 I never expected to win...I didn't have a lot of hope for that one. 2007, as well, I believed we COULD win, but with Dinwiddie in for Glenn and making his first ever start...I didn't have a ton of hope. 2001 tho....that was real real bad. That one destroyed something inside of me that has never fully healed.
Didn't have a lot of hope going into the game in 2007, but I was there in person and we were in it just enough to get my hopes up. Depressing as hell flight home.
-
Wins - 2001 East Final at home was great. 2011 East Final that was supposed to be the last game at the old barn was a great feeling too.
Losses - 2001 Grey Cup broke me. 2007 GC broke me again. 2011 GC numb to the pain didn't even feel that one.

The horsecollar rule is intended to stop a particular mode of injury. It is actually called more liberally now than the original intent. Even with the wider interpretation, that tackle started at the front of the shoulder and it was not a penalty.
Disagree. The way Grant was brought down was the exact situation the rule is meant to address. Shouldn't matter that the defender got his hand over the shoulder to the front if all of the force is pulling the player directly down. Immediately thought that Grant may have blown his knee out.
Not sure I've seen it called more liberally now. Seems to only be called if the player is brought down by the collar (even when pulled forward, which shouldn't be a horse collar at all). Granted I don't watch every game, so could definitely have missed some other calls.- BigBlueFanatic, Fatty Liver and J5V

As much as I wanted a horsecollar call on that play in real-time, after seeing the replay the defender clearly grabbed the front of the shoulder pad, which is clean and legal.
That rule needs to be amended. It's the act of grabbing up high and pulling straight down that is a danger to players. Shouldn't matter exactly where you grab.
