bearpants Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 14 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said: What the NFL is trying to do is eliminate the pancake tackle where a defender usually 280 lbs or more hits the qb & then lands on top of him leading to shoulder & arm injuries. As the father of a former qb who had his collarbone broken while playing for the Rifles back in 2010 when a Regina Thunder DT did just that I can't argue against it. Some tacklers also twist the qb exposing their shoulders & then fall on them almost guaranteeing some kind of injury. there's nothing wrong with the rule... just how it is being applied... if you saw the Clay Matthews tackle in the Packers/Vikings game... it was about as perfectly textbook as you can get...

Yeah, I saw it. The NFL keeps bringing in these rule changes. They fixed catching the ball now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hit or blindsided because some left tackle or guard missed or got beat on his block. The CFL & NFL already have rules in place to protect receivers from headshots. How many here would stand there & be willing to be pancaked? Not many so I kind of laugh at the supposed courageous tough talk by some who don't like it. A pancake is what started the end for Travis Lulay as I recall. Wait, that doesn't sound right ... LOL! Edited September 28, 2018 by J5V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb1 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Mass at work...a lot of class. McDiarmid Yesterday, 11:42 AM Eskimos fire special teams coordinator Cory McDiarmid - 3DownNation http://3downnation.com The Edmonton Eskimos have let special teams coordinator Cory McDiarmid go. The Eskimos allowed a blocked punt after the team’s opening drive which led to a Winnipeg Blue Bombers field goal and opened the floodgates for a 30-3 loss. McDiarmid was hired by head coach Jason Maas in 2016 after beginning his CFL coaching career in 2000 since coaching in the CFL for the Riders, Bombers, Alouettes, Stampeders, Argos and Lions. Edmonton has lost two straight games after beating the Calgary Stampeders on September 8 and sit 7-7 fourth in the West Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Much prefer Moss sideline style to (no) Maas. Cory's probably relieved to be out of there. Edited October 1, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd Down article doesn't mention it but when the firing was announced, they said the assistant ST coach would be taking over. Quote The announcement was made in an email that indicated head coach Jason Maas would hold a media availability to explain the decision Monday and also revealed that assistant coach Dave Jackson would replace McDiarmid.

The Esks have not been the powerhouse that Edmonton fans have come to expect and Maas has to be feeling heat. However, apart from top-notch receivers, the pipeline to Edmonton has not brought in overall great players of late. That would be on the GM.

TBURGESS Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 It's just a different philosophy. The Eskimos hit .500 in the last 3rd of the season, heads roll because that's not good enough. The Bombers hit .500 in the last 3rd of the season, and we're talking about how good we are and how we shoulda coulda woulda won more games because we is better than our record.

JuranBoldenRules Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 The Bombers almost recovered two kickoffs in Edmonton kicking into the wind because their returner was standing at the 5 waiting for the ball, which came down at the 30. That's pretty brutal coaching. JCon, Tracker, Floyd and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your swapping out an entire regime. Their ST will still be **** next week. I'm sure there are plenty of Eskimos fans super excited that the team has moved on from that particular coach...
