two plays by WIlly stood out to me...
1) I didn't like that deep ball to Moore.... even if the throw was on target Moore was still lined up to be destroyed by the safety.... Willy just needs to recognize that coverage over the top...
2) loved when he handed off to Cotton (maybe it was Grigsby?) and then took off in front of him to block.... it does make me a little nervous to see the starting QB as a lead blocker but still love the determination in the red zone...
Overall, a pretty solid effort... I can't remember the last time I left the stadium feeling ok about a loss...

getting fired for "having a beer" seems a little fishy... let's just wait till all the details unfold...
wasn't Worman in the running for our OC job or was that just a rumour??
-
I'm a little late to the party on this.... I don't think we woulda got him but I'm disappointed to hear we didn't even get in on the Laurent sweepstakes.... I understand the reasoning, but then again conventional CFL wisdom says you never pass on quality Canadians if you can get them.
- Blueandgold and DR. CFL

I'm guessing this is a prelude to Walby hosting the CFL on TSN.
Are you suggesting hosting or panel member?
-
haha I like out the title of the thread says BLOCKBUSTER.... but yeah when I saw this, this morning I thought this might actually entice be to give 1290 pre game a listen, instead of CJOB.... I like Bauming and Walby, but not a huge fan of Westy... I think CJOB may need to bring in another analyst to compete....
Who would you take in an anchorman-style fight?
Team TSN: Climie, Schultz, and LaPo
Team CJOB: Knuckles, Doug Brown, and Mitch Zalnowsky
Team 1290: Bauming, Walby, and Westy

If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then
-
I cant remember too many injuries the last two training camps other then Watson who was taken out by Dan West. Maybe I just have a short memory...
That wasn't a training camp injury.
Yeah I believe it was around week 4 or 5
-
We already are in big trouble! We were in big trouble before any injuries happened... Watson (as much as I love him) has proven to be completely unreliable in terms of health. And now the team with the least amount of CDN talent gets worse. I see that Etienne Legare is still a FA. Wouldn't he be a decent fill in for this year if we cannot get anyone else?? Or take a chance on Forzani. he has to be better than one of our other guys...isn't he? And that ain't saying much.
We are going to be lucky to win 6 games
Good point, why even bother showing up? Quick, someone email Wade Miller now to let him know we can just sit out 2014 to make it a nice even 8-team league again...

“We’ll have bands after every game and also be allowing people down onto the field after games as well,” he says. “Hopefully we can cut down on some of the issues on getting out of the stadium afterwards with losing one lane each way.”
“It’s an extreme concern for us,” he says. “We are probably going to lose 33% of the traffic in and out of the stadium.”
I hope he's not referring to a hoopla similar to the Jeff Reinbold days we're all so fond of...

Mike Scheper is a complete maniac. In a good way I suppose.
I guess we needed to replace Creehan in some way shape or form...
-D-Line- I specifically was looking at Moseley,Tate, Fraser, and Nzegwu. Tate was the only one who was pretty meh to me. Nzegwu was in the backfield a lot and not many of our OL were able to block him very well. Fraser was quick to get in to the backfield as well, I think he could bring something to the table this season if they see fit to keeping him around, And lastly, Thomas had a solid practice, was squashed by an OL or two during some drills but got up quick and kept going at him. The coached tapped him on the helmet a number of times.
Thanks for the report.... any idea how to pronounce Nzegwu?
-
Too bad for Lucas, this is probably the end of his career here though. He got injured last season too.
Up there in age too isn't he? wont be easy coming back from an ACL injury.
He'll be 30 by the end of the year... definitely still time to recover.... but this is very unfortunate news.... I was looking forward to seeing him on the d-line this year

I think I heard somewhere that 98% of all stats are mad eup on the spot....or something like that.
that's only true 84.7% of the time...

Panel needs new blood anyway. Stale.
Arash Madani would sure add some drama to the panel! BOOM!
Madani would add drama to a daytime soap.
New panel wishlist: Lalji, Dunigan, Geroy, and Climie.
Stegall just didn't seem a great fit for the panel. Schultz likes the sound of his own voice too much. Climie does too, but there's substance... he's not afraid to take the contrarian viewpoint and back it up. Essential to have a heel on the show. Geroy would be a very interesting option. Respected vet with a lot of charisma.
Have you ever heard Geroy speak? no thanks..... they'd be much better off sticking with Stegall
-
I still don't understand why some people are in such a tiff over this.... again I'll revert back to Marc Trestman who did not allow assistants to give interviews.... I think that worked out ok for him
-
How many players are willing to strike to try and make gains for a deal two years or three years or four years down the road? How many players want to lose money now to gain money later with a good likelyhood that a lot of them wont even be in the league then.
I think this is definitely the most important point to emphasize.... at least half the players currently in the PA will not be around by the time this CA comes to an end so how much are they willing to sacrifice to help out future players? my guess is not much...
-
Duthie would probably be the best replacement... I think he and most of the NHL analysts are sticking around so it would depend on his NHL on TSN obligations.... regional people like Lalji or Orlesky probably aren't in the mix but a guy like Scianetti could be considered.... I think I'd be happy if Rob Black was just not involved in the CFL at all...

Does anyone know which other CFL teams employ this method of communication?
Huff in Calgary...
Milo in Tor? (suspected)
Jones in Edm? (suspected)
I would guess Austin is the same way in Hammy
-
Huff has the same rules in Calgary, Trestman had the same rules in Montreal. It's someone reaching trying to stir the pot. End of story.
You're 100% bang on... first thought I had was "I like how he's comparing this tactic to Kelly rather than someone like Marc Trestman"... it helps strengthen his very weak point

@TSNScianitti: According to a doc submitted to #TSN by players who prefer to remain anynomous, #CFLPA has prepared a new 4-yr offer to restart talks #CFL
@TSNScianitti: #CFLPA new cap numbers 2014 $5.2 million (4.8mil min); 2015 $5.6; 2016 $5.8; 2017 $6m Rev. Protection clause now triggers at $18mil #cfl
@TSNScianitti: Doc says #CFL has rejected it.League not prepared to move.From doc: "no point in meeting unless(players)are prepared to accept (league)offer
That's a lot of cap movement in 4 years.... to go from $4.4M in 2013 to $6M in 2017... definitely not realistic... I could see starting around $5M and moving up $100k per year to get to $5.4M after 5 years

@ArashMadani: Bang. RT @JasonAMT: @CFLMikeCopeland your PR bullying tactics are embarrassing, and unprofessional. We stand United as a union. #CFL #CFLPA
@ArashMadani: And boom goes the dynamite. RT @scratchingpost: #CFLPA VP Marwan Hage: "It's two steps forward, ten steps backward." #CFL
@ArashMadani: BREAKING: Excerpt from CFLPA internal memo: "After we are legally allowed to conduct the vote in Alberta, we will all strike together." #CFL
@ArashMadani: Unnecessary! RT @AndrewBucholtz: The NFL has independent sideline neurologists, but #CFL president Michael Copeland says they're unnecessary
@ArashMadani: BREAKING: #CFL commissioner Mark Cohon has, at last, joined the bargaining talks between the league and the players... Urgency being felt.
@ArashMadani: Wow. Now the #CFL players are tossing back uppercuts. RT @CButler28: When can I get my Cohon jersey?
@ArashMadani: Boom. RT @KBergCBS: NBA and the Sterling family trust have settled their dispute, league announces. The team will be sold to Steve Ballmer.
When I joined twitter a few years ago I started following him cuz I thought he'd have good CFL info.... this is the reason why it took about a week before I unfollowed

Who has our best tackler arguably been the last few seasons, i'd argue that it was the smallest guy on the field, alex suber. So yeah size really doesn't matter as much as some are making it out to be. And prior to him, could argue it was that gigantic 5'9 maybe monster in jonathan hefney. Size doesn't mean much really.
Except that when Suber tackles a guy it's in the open field, how good a tackler would he be if he had to shed blocks from very large angry men to make those tackles?
You could easily argue that open field tackling is harder... but I'm not going to....
I'll take more stock in the depth chart once the roster is announced...
You can't really compare the two
Shedding blocks to make a gap tackle vs. Open field tackle
Sure open field tackling probably takes more technical skill... shedding blocks requires size and strength (when you are trying to shed a 300lb Olineman)
Suber is a great open field tackler... I wouldn't ask him to bull rush an OL
I'm not trying to start an argument here, just food for thought.... if you compare apples-to-apples when it comes to tackling would it be easier for Suber bullrush a 5'10 190lb O-linemen or Anderson to tackle a 6'2 260lb runner in the open field? Probably the former... I personally think sure open field tacklers are far more rare in the CFL

To the people who are complaining that the Bombers should have fully disclosed Wylie's arrangement. As was pointed out to me, from the start his position was labelled as overseeing the development of the O-line and not O-Line coach.
They didn't really spell out what that means but to be fair the majority of Blue Bomber fans (outside of the hardcore) don't even know who the coaches are passed the head coach and possibly the coordinators.
Don't have an issue myself with how they handled this.
I remember pointing that out when he was hired (possibly on another site) and asked if anyone knew why... perhaps this explains a little bit....
I wonder if this Paul Charbonneau fellow will be listed as coach on the website.... he currently is not...

QB - Could Hall get cut?

Unless Brohm steps it up against Calgary I have a hard time believing the depth chart to start the season isn't (1) Willy (2) Hall (3) Marve...
