1 WJ. Beast mode tnite. Sacks kds pressure and a huge tip on the on side kick.

2 the rest of the DL. Tons of pressure pass kds great play.

3 harris and streveler running. Tons of big first down runs from both. Hard night of running.

Hh Medlock with the 52 yarder at the half just getting over. And the 50 to seal it.

I don't wanna quote everyone talking about the global players, but I read a piece last week talking about the globals contributing, and they listed, I believe the stat was "number of snaps played", and Hansen was actually second to Edmonton's global player (can't remember his name). Now, having said that, I'd say that Hansen has been more productive, just based on what he's actually accomplished on the field, but Edmonton's global has apparently been on the field for more snaps, whether on Teams or O/D (not sure if their player is O or D)....

If it was prior to the last couple games I’m sure Hansen has blown that number up after that.  He’s played just by my eyes almost half the D snaps since the 2nd half vs BC.

Also Nevis is having a monster season.  Very disruptive.  Richardson and Nevis are consistently in the pocket and blowing up runs.

Hansen's progression into a solid player has been impressive.

Were he and Cuthbert drunk in the booth last night? I still can't believe he (Cuthbert) called Medlock Jason during one of his FG attempts.

I think that  you and I are the only one's who heard it. 

Come to think of it.....Fenner has played pretty good ball for a while now.....

he's made several of those incredible high-point knock downs, and every single time I'm incredibly impressed...

HM to Geoff Gray who used all of his ingenuity to piss Hunter off on that play

Smooth, very smooth. 

we got real lucky that Gray didn't get flagged there. He shoved a guy pretty good and could easily have been flagged, but they didn't, and his teammates got him off the field, and then when Hunter wouldn't let it go, and shoved a ref, he got the retaliation flag that will ALWAYS come....

Our DL never gets the credit it deserves, it's always about Edmonton. Or the Riders. Or Ti Cats. About time TSN recognized what our Front 4 can do. Harris was harassed & harried. He had to throw the ball early before he wanted to. There were a ton of hurries last night.

It's no wonder they're not recognized, official stats record Jefferson with 3 QS's  with no sacks for any other members of the team.  I'll have to re-watch the game more closely but I know Nevis, Richardson and Hansen got to Harris at least once each putting him on his back and Thiadric was responsible for one F.F..  In the end stats. are for losers, this is the best D-line the Bombers have fielded in an extremely long time.

Definitely don't shove a ref.

Seems to be happening more and more.

Quite a signing was Willy Jefferson....Riders lament everyday about us snagging one of the best fa's this year, which was worth it alone.....Sure proved his worth last night did 'ol wingspan' and have left the Esks. in shock in their own backyard....Luv'd every minute of it....

so much love for the Reilly and Harris signings in the offseason, but Jefferson might have been the best one....

The position coaches need some credit what they are teaching is working everting one that is suiting up on game day is ready to make a contribution. We all laugh when O’Shea has said in the past that they are all starters but you could say that this year.

Man I love this team! From the depth, to the Canadians, to the playmakers, to the role players stepping up, this was another TEAM WIN. 8-2 baby!!

When they showed a replay of Streveller from different camera, early in the game after he was hit hard, I thought he looked confused (ie fuzzy headed) when he got up. Chris Matthews went to help him up.

Anyone else think the same?

Although It's hard to see anything, watching on a laptop as I do.

happy honker to Johnzo for his excellent Cactus Jack style.

What an entertaining guy Cactus was, all these years later, people still fondly remember him.

I actually think he was probably more winded than fuzzy headed.

Yeah a little lucky but the way Gray went about the shoving was perfect. Wasn't really looking at the guy. Making things look accidental. It was beautiful. Right on the line

yeah I saw that too, the way he was moving I thought the spotter was gonna demand the concussion protocol, but nothing came of it.  Hope he's ok.

I think Jefferson and Rose are the most impactful FA signings by far...and our 2019 draft picks as well are tops in the league this bgg year..making most impact.

And back to last night..Ol Willie J almost had a pick six to go with the other stats..

I love how he had a good talk with his hands afterwards. 

Still not using Matthews enough. He should be our go to guy on 2 and long. 

Hopefully he’s more involved in the 2nd half of the season

Can we sign him long term?

Iirc he only signed a 1 year contract. Would be nice to get an extension done before he becomes a free agent in the off season.
