Congrats, big win, Blue.

When Bighill went out Jefferson found his role on the team.

 

And biggie is looking more like himself each game too...scary

Yep, Biggie is back to flying around.

 

I was gonna ask about that, actually, because I feel like I'm not noticing Bighill as much as last year. But I defer to guys like Booch who know a lot more.....interesting that you guys figure he's starting to get it figured out. Good to hear...

I wondered too if the rotation hampered him..our was souring him at all...whatever they have been doing to him last 5 games or so continue on

Wondered about this as well.   Seems like he is able to free lance all over the place - really has the 3 man set thing, down

I'm curious if it's a coincidence that he's gotten better without as much rotating. He's playing more snaps since Jeffcoat and Roh went down, and his play has gone up. Possible that he just needs to be in there snap after snap after snap.

He’s a snap dragon.

I don't think he is free lancing, I think he has a better understanding of the D and the guys he plays with.

Thing I like about him is he seems to celebrate just as hard when a teammate makes a play.

Willie for Premier of Manitoba and Supreme Overlord of Morning Big Blue.

And he's leading Operation Overlord when we play the Riders. 

Still laughing at two Professional football teams playing on an 80 yard field and were serious about it.

Still revelling in a victory on an opponent’s home field without our starting QB in a battle for 1st place.

Still in awe of a defensive performance that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Willie Jefferson drove our team and, going forward, sets us up beautifully to wreak havoc on opponents who will shudder playing that front seven.

Defensive Player of the week...easily.

When in doubt, see what Booch has to say about it.

I never at any point in my life played any kind of organized football, and I feel like at least once a week Booch teaches me something new about the game and I'm very appreciative of this...

Pickup games in our backyard and on an outdoor rink in fall are the extent of my experience.  Sure, I've learned some things from being a fan, but you gotta defer to those who obviously know more.

Really? Annoying, I can see it. 

I can't believe he didn't stick in the NFL, his skills are nuts.

and Kongbo is basically the same guy......can you imagine the two of them next year, when Kongbo has a year of seasoning?? Cripes...

Imagine having Micah Johnson for more money instead? 

 

Lmao 

C'mon down to Winnipeg....

Time to hand Willie a pen...to sign that extension on his next 2 years. 

He said prior to season that he signed a one yr to see how it goes..and if it would be a good fit and like it here..seems to me those boxes have been checked off

It’s great he is his own agent so give him fair money and you think he signs.
