Did he actually say that... or are you just assuming that how he feels?

Ultimately, this is actually really disappointing... he was a 1st (2nd??) overall pick that never materialized b/c of injuries, not poor play... Speaking of first round D-linemen... what ever happened to Bison Alum Evan Gill?? He's listed on Hammy's 6-game and according to their website, he played in 4 games last year... has he really just been injured for the past 3.5 years?

yes, that's what I meant, thanks

Duron Carter is so right... all the rules changes in the CFL are completely catered to defense... they are making every attempt to favour the defense b/c they know the fans love a 7-3 (that's 3 FGs and a rouge, BTW) game... when will someone make a rule that favours offense!!... **sarcasm font required**

This would have been a much better step to solving the problem... I feel like the change they made might help... but it really doesn't solve the overall problem problem...

I would argue that game might be in 2 weeks against Edmonton... if we go into that game at 4-3 or (hopefully) 5-2 against an Edmonton team that should be 6-1 or 7-0... how we fair against Edm will better determine our "status" in the league...

Santa Anna's on the corner of St Mary's and Vista is my favourite... a hidden gem I love, if you happen to be in Altona there's a little joint called Pizza Haven, it's quite good... Probably not the best in the city but I really love going to ZA Pizza Bistro...if you haven't been there, it's basically a "subway-style" pizza where you pay $12ish and you pick the crust/sauce/toppings... and everything is unlimited... the only drawback is is the wait time... if there's a line up, expect to be waiting at least 30 mins from the time you walk in to the time you leave with your pizza...

might be 3 of 7 soon if Jeffcoat keeps up his play...

I apologize if this was mentioned somewhere else... but I didn't see it... http://3downnation.com/2017/07/31/andy-mulumba-bombers-property-signed-la-rams/ Andy Mulumba signs with the Rams

Listen to it again... you've conveniently cut off the part where he says "unless the Bomber get a quick score and on-side kick"... or something along those lines.... I too was expecting Rod Black to basically call it a game at that point, but he actually leaves the door quite open...

Does it count as "starting to get respect" if the person making the claim also created the rankings... But I always appreciate a CFL blogger... so keep it up!

Just watched that sequence of events on youtube... and wow did the esks have the stripes on their side there... even before the phantom PI call (which came as a result of a review!?!)... BC should've had the ball on what looked like a pretty clear lateral... Reilley threw from the 15 yard line and the wr dropped it at the 14... that call I can live with b/c it was very close so they defer to the on-field call... but that end zone PI was inexcusable...

Completely agree... makes absolutely no sense to have him hold if he can't play... Nichols can hold (he did last year when Dressler was hurt so him and Medlock already have familiarity) and I'm fairly sure The Fever has done holding in the past too...

Kirk Penton's insider article was literally the only thing worth reading in print media the last few years...

I just hope we hear the name Harris a whole lot on Friday night's broadcast.... examples: "Harris is sacked, again!" "Harris takes the hand-off 20 yards for the score!" "Harris is picked off for the third time tonight" "Harris, out of the backfield, makes one tackler miss and he's off to the races. No one will catch him now" "Harris has had pressure in his face all night causing many mistakes" ETC

Had to make an adjustment there for me to agree with your point... Ottawa definitely concerns me... Hamilton, not so much...

Edmonton probably should've used a better prevent defense on this play...

agreed... but is that challengeable??

No one is arguing about that PI call... it was a weak call... similar to some of the weak calls that went in Mtl's favour in the first half... And that angle is exactly what I was talking about... you can see Harris' elbow down... but you can also see the ball in the air with zero proof whatsoever that it is short of the goal line... sorry to break it to ya...

just watched the cfl.ca highlights of this game and you are very correct... Ansah had great coverage on Carter but he just made some fantastic catches... one of those games from Carter that justifies keeping him on the roster despite his asshat personality... now the Riders just wish they could get that every game... And WTF was Sears thinking on that play?... I though people were exaggerating when they said it may have cost them the game... it would've been third down with TO getting the ball nearly in FG range... dumb move by him...

There is definitely one angle where you can clearly see Harris' elbow down... however, it is from the end zone going straight up field (to the north)... you can also see Harris holding the ball up in the air from that replay... it is literally impossible to tell where the ball is at that angle... so if that's the "proof" that someone wants to hang their hat on for a "objective opinion"... good for them, I guess... Also "I have a more objective mind than all of you" reminds of the classic "I know more about football that all of you combined" from our old pal Tuscaloosa Blue... if you want to immediately lose credibility, I recommend one of these statements...

I was saying to my friend that penalty felt like an "idiot test" kind of penalty... there was absolutely no reason to shove the QB long after he threw the ball... that being said, I don't think it should have been a penalty, but I guess I understand the logic... I normally trust your opinion but this one seems confusing... are you suggesting we play Corney at MLB?... would that be only in a pass rushing capacity?... would that not tip off the offense to what's coming up?.... just wondering if you could expand on this thought...

I disagree... they just kept playing... were they just supposed to give up cuz they were playing against hot garbage?... also consider a lot of back-up were in the game... they wanted to show the coaches what they can do... I wouldn't consider something that already happened in the off-season too crazy of a prediction...

look who's back after a Rider win...
