IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

AFTER WEEK 3

Bye - Edmonton 

Ed Tait  - Ottawa Redblacks have signed former #Bombers draft pick Zach Intzandt, an OL.

Saskatchewan surrendered all four Winnipeg touchdowns while rushing only three men. - @robvanstone #CFL #Riders

CFL News.  -  In passing situations, the #Riders rushed with three nearly 60 per cent of the time. - @robvanstone #CFL

The Redblacks, who have both of their byes in the final three weeks of the season, are going into a very tough portion of the schedule — July 14-24 — where they play three games in 11 days. Toronto Sun

Drew Edwards   -   The #AlsMtl acquired the 2015 first round pick they used on Jacob Ruby by trading OL Ryan Bomben to the #Ticats. They released Ruby today.

CFL Headlines  -  Riders receiver Caleb Holley added to six-game injured list goo.gl/fb/33trCP via @JDunk12 #CFL

Derek Taylor  -  Weird random stat...@sskroughriders Kevin Glenn is 9/13 on passes at or behind the line of scrimmage (69%). 90% last season.

- Two players have 10+ targets and a 100% catch rate so far. Oddly, neither is a RB: @ArmantiEdwards & @Demski9 

CFL News   -   Inch by inch, mile by mile Ambrosie thinks he'll win millenials over to enjoying the #CFL.-If Ambrosie acts as commish like he did at that presser, I think we're in good hands. Understated, humble, smart. And seems to get it. #CFL

Onside - Sam Hurl…moving on up

Offside - Adarius Bowman …disturbing drops surface again

Onside - Justin Medlock

Offside - Tyler Crapigna

Onside - Weston Dressler

Offside - Duron Carter still a dink

Onside - TJ Heath

Offside - Roc Carmichael 

Onside - Ricky Ray 300 TDs

Offside - Ill-Will Hill thou shalt not grab an official..

CFL News   -   The fishing expeditions are back. Really, really frustrating. Away from the play. Come on. #CFL

?‍? Prime example - in the Bomber game. Completely not related to the action, Dickenson challenges a weak call on Randle, and the C’mon Centre bites on it…

#REDBLACKS sign former @sskroughriders defensive lineman @JNEW_11.

Derek Taylor   -   #Bombers boundary side proficiency continues. Through 2 games:

69% comp, 0 TD, 4 INT, 48.8 passer rating

Scott Billeck   -   Some #Bombers notes: WPG is now 1-for-5 on the year from red zone. That’s never good.

Andrew Harris   -   Left too much out on the field tonight.. We will be better #ForTheW! Always #Relentless

?‍?Cumulative West Division record 8-4-1

     Cumulative East Division record 3-7-1

And both Ottawa (Edmonton) and Hamilton (BC) could still be winless after week 4

?‍?In the ‘I-did-not-know’ department, Head Coach Kent Austin took over play calling for the Offence from OC Stefan Ptaszek after giving him 1 game!

?‍?Is the undisciplined play of the Ticats (15 penalties 157 yards) a reflection of the ever grumpy Austin?

How about that I'll-Will Hill?

“Penalties are a concern, especially stupid ones. Undisciplined players aren’t going to play for us,” Austin said. “If you’re going to hurt the football team and you have a pattern of doing that, you won’t play for us.” Kent Austin - 3downnation

?‍?The phrases, mass confusion and discombobulation, were evoked by Drew Edwards as he described Hamilton’s defence.

?‍? WANTED : IMPACT PLAYER(S)

One on offence - as an EXCEPTIONAL receiver and play maker. Must be good!

One on defence - as an exceptional linebacker who TACKLES EVERYBODY on the opposing team who gets the ball.

Apply to MBB for a thorough gauntlet run..

*Glenn completed passes to seven different receivers.

?‍?So, Duron Carter, as we witnessed in the last game, can throw more than a hissy fit eh?..

Dave Campbell - CHED   -  HC Jason Maas says RB Kendial Lawrence will handle the kick return duties and backup Travon Van who is now the starting RB. #Eskimos #CFL

Ian Hamilton    -   The Roughriders got a good push up front, registering 11 quarterback pressures — including three each by ends Willie Jefferson and A.C. Leonard — and holding Hamilton to 27 yards rushing on 10 attempts.

?‍?Argos pass rush resulted in 5 sacks…

?‍?Thrilling - SJ Green 10 receptions 210 yards..massive

Victor Butler - 7 Sacks so far in 3 games

Toronto Argos   -   66 receivers. 300 touchdowns. One more milestone for Ricky Ray. ?

To open the game - The Bombers ran 15 plays to Calgary’s two, had the ball for seven minutes and 57 minutes of the first 8:43 of the game, and had diddly to show for it.

Ed Tait   -  Justin Medlock was one-for-one in the field goal department to push his consecutive streak to 24, a club record. 

Consider this: since beginning his days as a Bomber by hitting eight of his first 12 attempts (66.7), Medlock is 61 of 66 (92.4 per cent).

Weston Dressler hit the 9,000 mark in career receiving yards Friday night, becoming just the 27th player in CFL history to do so.

?‍?Peculiar or brilliant idea? To describe the call for a quick kick by Ottawa,  behind in the game, close to their goal line?..?..

?‍?Personally, I see nothing in that Toronto-Ottawa game that said to me that Toronto ‘won’ that game..but rather the RedBlacks ‘lost ‘ it..

AlsMtl -   The Alouettes added international defensive back Brandon Stewart to the roster. #AlsMTL

Blue Bombers   -   The #Bombers will make QB Jack Jacobs the tenth inductee into the Ring of Honour—old Winnipeg/CanadInns Stadium "the house that Jack built."

WEEK 4

TORONTO @ WINNIPEG

CALGARY @ MONTREAL 

OTTAWA @ EDMONTON

BC @ HAMILTON 

BYE - SASKATCHEWAN

Bearing in mind that was late December back in '63.

I remember. What a very special time for me.
