    Loffler. He plays on the edge. A millisecond from getting objectionable conduct penalties but his timing is perfect. Rookie of the year candidate by far so far.

    If he kicks his habit then he become what as a football player? probably nothing as being juiced got him to where is he now in the CFL. But that was dirty & not clean. Maybe all he really is, is a third string backup. There's a reason why he never stopped juicing & I'll speculate by saying it's because he knows that clean he'll never be good enough to stick around & play in the CFL. He cheated before the Combine & put up eye popping stats. Then he was discovered after the combine he cheated. Still, the CFL rewarded his cheating by drafting him. Now he's caught again. The only role model he is, is that of a cheater & a liar. Someone kids should look up to & say,"No thanks".

    I love players with enthusiasm and confidence. However, those two (and a few of our guys for that matter ) need to take a lesson from Dressler in what to do after making a standard professional football league catch.
    Give the ball back to the referee and return to the huddle.
    If you score, different matter.

    Medlock has been around long enough to know what constitutes a good special teams unit. And he sees it here with the Bombers.
    “That’s what O’Shea is known for: special teams, defence and hard-nosed football and getting people riled up,” said Medlock. “That’s probably why we do so well. We have a great special-teams coordinator (Paul Boudreau) who has come from the States and he’s done a great job coaching us with the little discipline/technique stuff. Both of them together have come up with a good plan for us.”

    Head Coach Rick Campbell has talked tough about holding his players accountable for the number of flags they draw, but you’d never be able to tell by the 9 penalties for 103 yards his team took in the first half. Of the eleven infractions that Ottawa finished the night with, nine unacceptably fall into preventable or technical categories. Something’s gotta give.

    Unofficial count: Four new #Riders for today's #CFL game, 83 different players thru 10 games this season. #Ticats set record of 88 in 2013.
    All this whining about missed pass interference. Granted. But why don't people talk about how the #Riders didn't show up for 30 mins again
    Thomas Gunther - Last Word On Sports CFL
    The Bombers win, not just the early lead, comes down to three words: second down conversation. The Riders were unable to stop the Bombers from converting whether it was runs by Andrew Harris or short crossing routes to Gerrad Sheppard. The Bombers were frequently driving down the field and putting up points rather than striking out early. and that made all the difference in this matchup.

    John Hodge 3downnation
    -The span of Winnipeg’s last five victories: 38 days. The span of Saskatchewan’s last five victories: 671 days. That’s wild.
    -With Ryan Smith expected to return to the line-up next week, it will be interesting to see if Nichols throws the deep ball more often with an elite deep threat at his disposal.
    -Two fourth quarter interceptions aside, Sunday’s game was disastrous for the Blue Bomber secondary. Johnny Adams struggled mightily against rookie Caleb Holley, often looking flat-footed and out of position after the catch. Adams will need to return to his 2015 form if he is to keep his starting spot when Chris Randle returns from injury.
    -is there a chance the Riders look to sign one of Swayze Waters or Sergio Castillo?
    -The Bomber offensive line allowed two sacks on Sunday, one of which came on a poorly-executed quarterback draw late in the game. Winnipeg has now allowed eight sacks in Nichols’ five starts (1.6 per game), half the number that the Bombers allowed in Drew Willy’s five starts (16).
    -Speaking of Sunday’s controversial pass interference call, let’s not forget that the Riders played a mistake-ridden game against Winnipeg. The gamble on third and 3? The bizarre fake punt to Ed Gainey? Two fourth quarter interceptions? Two missed field goals? These are all mistakes that went into the result of Sunday’s game (which, in fairness, featured a ton of mistakes from the Bombers, too). To simply chalk the Riders’ loss to a bad penalty would be unfair — Sunday’s game was decided on a combination of 158 plays, not just one.
