Head Coach MOS has clearly stated his feelings about certain longstanding BB players like JT. It’s no mystery he believes players like JT are owed the right to end their playing career on their own terms based on what they have given back. I really believe MOS wants his legacy as this. He’d rather be remembered fondly by individual players than being remembered as a coach who applied tough love to well respected BB players when needed that may not have not sit well with them at the time. I really admire this commitment and dedication he has to other well respected human beings but also as a selfish hardcore Blue Bomber fan who wants constant success for his team, this also frustrates the hell out of me when it is a detriment to the team. He wants to win, he’s a competitor, but his care for the team, the emblem, the fans may not always be the first thing on his mind when met with tough decisions.

Yup and my guess is yesterday’s melee involved some practice roster guys on the sidelines chirping away at each other and the rostered players. Makes for some fun.

Agree just curious how close it was looking at it again with timing it perfect.

Need to see the play again with the clock beginning right at the snap of the ball and when the player was down to see if they actually did have .2 of a second to go. Also knowing everything was happening so fast, Montreal players could have taken their time to touch the BC player down.

These are the games the CFL needs more, controversies, fights, close game etc. Except us, I’ll accept blowouts for us all the time.

Could of Mass challenged that somehow?

MTL could literally interchange MBT and Evans to keep BC’s D off balance with their different skill sets. I’m not letting go employing a 2qb system. I’ll just continue to talk to myself on this one.

Watching the Als versus Lions, I think I’m watching BP age in real time. Head coaching is a tough gig.

Give Morgan Barron more responsibility next year. I believe he’s earned it.

Here comes my broken record thought, this constant reluctance to employ an actual 2qb system (not just short yardage). I understand the difficulties and the challenges, some big brained football x and o football people here have posted on it but it still not enough for me for the team to work out some schemes in practice fitted for their existing talent and deploy it in a game, change things up try it out for an offensive set. You won’t know what will happen until you try. Being risk averse has its own draw backs as the same as taking chances has its draw backs. Find that sweet spot between the two.

Like if Adam Bighill didn’t incur an injury might he still be on the field for us?

Thanks for the sports update Mike, let's head over to Heather on what's up for the weather this weekend. 🙂

Excerpt taken from Steve Lambert Canadian Press quoting Wab Kinew: "It'll be really good for the documentary they make about the Winnipeg Jets winning the Stanley Cup." Now ain't that the truth 🙂

I wonder what Darrell Patterson says when breaking down the work of our D-line after four games behind office doors.

I was much more diplomatic than you in me calling him our number one freelancer but hammer meet head on your post here.

So true, that has not changed. Not controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball = be ready to take the L. One line of scrimmage controlled = we have ourselves a game. Both lines of scrimmage controlled = high fives all around.

Fair. All the best.

My untrained eye would put WJ as our number one freelancer that can be frustrating at times to watch when it comes to DE’s responsibilities. And yes he does get mugged a fair amount but that seems to be the advantage refs are giving the offence these days, holding penalties seem to be called less frequently.

Yup that was my point with the question because maybe I’m missing something cuz all I see, like you, is no push every rep 99 percent of the time. I just feel we’re disrespecting the importance of this position as a throw away so someone can keep playing the game they love playing and has given so much back to the game but in truth those days are over, new chapter time. Depth has to produce as well.

The lower his reps go translates in him being effective at nose tackle?

'..maybe the play ran into him and he got credit.' Yikes. You know you're in trouble when (see bold above).

I'd add the ole 'we're not going to win every game'. 🙂

Regardless, its going to be a void we now need to fill.

So in the end, from a forward looking lens, we got nada in return for him. Was it the right move by Chevy attempting to make him a Jet for life but ultimately failing and getting nothing in return for his troubles? Again from a forward looking lens did what he do here for the past 6 years trump (sorry) us getting nothing in return in him leaving?

Congrats. Enjoy the extra millions. Thanks for the years of entertainment. Ehlers who?
