Honourable mentions to the long fg, the one handed stab by lawler, walker, and the ol

Your point #3 is often times underestimated in how it influences how teams/individuals produce. Athleticism gets you so far.

What did he say? Was it praise or “the MBB crowd must be losing their minds down 22-0”?

I don't recall what the comment was during the game, but on the coaches show he name dropped MBB to discuss the game day roster management and the D-Line.

And what was Osh’s response?

1- Brown - What can Brown do for you? 

2 - Brady O - The harder the yards, the harder he works.

3 - The Jeff-ends - Just relentless. No panic, no stupidity, just veteran class. 

HH - Lawler's feats of magic. Incredible.

Secondary HH to @DTonOB for name dropping morningbigblue during the game 

He did? What did he say.

Incredible game from the entire offence who all stepped up when Collaros went down. Brady, the OL, and especially the receiving corps. Lawler with one of the greatest TD catches I have seen. Rasheed Bailey turns in his best receiving game of the season. Schoen showing that he is the best receiver in the league no matter who is at QB. Just an outstanding performance all around.

Happy Honker to receivers coach Kevin Bourgoin for coaching up such a great group. He'll be the next OC when Buck leaves to be head coach of the Elks, Ticats, REDBLACKS!!!! or whoever.

1. Dru Brown. Came into the game like he was Randy Marsh carrying around some wheelbarrow balls. IYKYK.

2. Brady O. On pace for 1,400 yards. Aside from the rough start he had in his first full year as a starter in the first half of that season, Brady has been beyond fantastic. He proves Walters and Co right every game when it comes to whether or not the team was right in moving on from Andrew Harris.

3. The team demeanor. Throughout all of the camera shots of the benches, one thing was very telling. Who was the veteran, disciplined team and who wasn't. Was 22-0 fun? Nope. But the bench wasn't panicking or having a temper tantrum. The Elks bench meanwhile was on cloud nine. As the game turned, our demeanor remained the same meanwhile you saw more and more clips of Elks players and coaches losing their cool and having their emotions get the best of them.

Never too high, never too low. One of the main things I love about our coaches and players. Trust the process and more often than not, we'll be on the winning side.

HH: BOO. Absolutely loved him finding a spot to get open towards the sideline on the Randy Marsh...ahem...Dru Brown scramble drill. Really stepped up after Woli went down.

 

Great post.

That it was unfortunate the Bombers hadn’t nationalized Bailey after Wolitarsky went out and he’d probably read about it this week on here.

I don't mind BOLO getting some good reps... I think we all know he's a player... it would be a major problem if there were two injuries 

Shout-out to that Jones team and their lack of discipline! 

O line has been  very good since the loss to B. C.  Quite a bit of 65 and 64 going in.
 

I would like to hear from Ambrosie about the state of officiating. 
 

people are getting hurt partly because of these obvious, inexcusable refs. And command centre mistakes.

 

 With the Collaros injury, we need to see some consequences. At this point, it is hard to accept that the league is doing anything significant about this problem.

Just watched the replay. I dont understand how, in a league where they are trying to eliminate head shots and QB injuries, that isn't a flag on Collaros.

Just keep shaking my head when I see it.

Just imagine that same situation involving Mahomes.  What would the NFL do?  Collaros is the premier player in this league at the moment and as a defender you’re allowed to drill him in the head when he’s already out of the play and roll a 300 lb body over him.

The only part of the roughing the passer rule on the books that Ealy didn’t violate was initiating contact with his own helmet.

starting to look more like Jones Town out there...

I don't think it was RTP. Collaros was throwing the ball. The hit was borderline late, but nothing that usually gets called. The defender didn't lead with his head. There was no helmet to helmet contact. It wasn't called in real time. It wasn't called in review. The result doesn't turn the hit into a penalty. 

Dru Brown...........................magnificent in relief

Lawler/Schoen.....................those guys just keep on getting it done

Rose...........................................he's getting back to his old form....

Hon mention.........................Holm ....he just keeps on getting better......note the footwork

This is the rule.

He clearly lands on him with most of his weight. (#1). He hits him in the head. (#2). He had to dive onto Zach on the ground which means he didn't make an attempt to avoid the hit. (#3). Zach is out of the play at the time of the hit. (#4).

 

Article 5 — Roughing The Passer

Because the act of passing puts the passer in a particularly vulnerable position to injury, special rules against roughing the passer apply. Once the ball is released, defensive players must avoid all unnecessary contact with the passer. A player shall be penalized for any act of Unnecessary Roughness to the passer, including but not limited to:

1. Contacting the passer in an unnecessary manner, including stuffing him to the ground, violently throwing him to the ground, and landing on him with most of the defender's weight,
2. Any blow above the passer's shoulder,
3. All rushing defenders must attempt to avoid forcibly hitting a passer in the pocket, at or below the knees, either if their path to the passer was unrestricted, or if they are coming off a blocker,
4. Attacking the passer who, after releasing the ball, is either standing still or fading backwards and is obviously out of the play and remains out of the play,
5. When the quarterback slides feet first, all unnecessary contact must be avoided. The slide must be done in a timely manner to allow the defence to avoid such contact.
6. Contacting the passer if either the initial source of contact, or primary source of contact, is the defender's helmet.

For sure! With that explanation as well. Only difference is I’d place Demski at 3. Due to his runs.

And a screen pass to Oli. That was a a beaut. 

Get that man some Pepto!

Clear as day. Can't believe anyone would argue otherwise. Oh, wait, yes, I can.

I can recall far lesser lesser 'roughing the passer' calls resulting in 15 yarders ....Protecting the qb's in this league is supposed to be the mantra.....that didn't happen.....When a qb. is down and you leap on him that's a penalty...That was as close a call to 'deliberate attempt to injure' as I have seen in awhile.....

Doesn’t have to be helmet to helmet.  Can’t touch QB head at all and it’s the first part of Collaros Ealy contacted.  Hodge has the rule broken down if you need.

Clear as day: 

Any blow above the passer's shoulder,

What's to argue??????

Pretty sure it was not the first uncalled roughing the passer by elks in the game.

thought Collaros got cranked in the head earlier, looked at the ref, no call.
