I wouldn't even say Fajardo got hot.  I'd say the Bombers defensive scheme was completely brutal in terms of blitzing and use of Cover 0/1 looks vs a QB that is so inaccurate.  We gave his receivers a chance to make plays.

That was my beef about the defensive play that game as well. Just baffling play calling by Hall. Make Fajardo be accurate and he loses most games, give him one on ones or the opportunity to just throw in general directions and let his receivers run to the ball and you are giving him a chance that his receivers can make him look a heckuva lot better than what he is.

There was also the issue of lacking depth and having to move guys around when Houston got hurt and later playing Houston at less than 100%. 

Not buying that at all. Most of Montreal's big offensive plays came on really poor play calling on our part and their receivers outmuscling our DBs to get to the spot that Fajardo's duck was landing.

Yea. Not sure what Bluto was watching with Bishop and that surprises me because he was their starter for a good while. Bishop had a cannon arm.

RA comes across as a poser and attention seeker. Weird he has to say that. It should be a guarantee every season opens with a GC rematch.

Scored a 10/50. Think he’s in a big tie for like 5th or 6th lowest all time. Tee Martin had an 11. QBs average like 24, Johnny manziel put up 33. 
 To be fair touch and accuracy were not in his game either. 
 Like all tests it’s not by any means the be all and end all. But few QBs have low wonderlics and succeed. Fast decision making is key.

Tbh idc in the least what he does now. One day (not when a part of the riders though) raise his number and move on. 

Though the irony of how much rider fans harped about the ped test with Harris if he goes there that is hilarious.

yeah watch the narrative change and he is a key cog in restoring culture there hahaha

But really for what reason would he want to go there to start up coaching....really what could he even offer at this juncture as well....and id numbnutz saying that cause Mace is there and AH will follow?..a coach he prob had minimal interactions with?...But hey I have no issues...one more unqualified and minimal experience coach on that staff the better to keep that turd train chug chugging along haha

Again, he was supposed to be running the Nanaimo junior program this year. President and HC..... Did that just go away??

Yall taking something from the mouths of Arash Madani and "ballsy" entirely too seriously.

I've been saying this for years. Easily the worst Commissioner we've ever had & we're stuck with him. He has no idea how to grow the CFL. 

EDIT: tried to put the Argo's twitter video announcing our schedule in here (it's funny), it's a play on the general indifference to the CFL from many Torontonians. Thought you like the chuckle, but apparently I can't post imbed a twitter or a video.

Are wombats friendly?

 

 

 

Unfortunately, not really. Baby wombats live up to their cuddly reputation, but once a wombat has grown up it becomes a solitary animal that just wants to be left alone. Communication between wombats is often threatening or aggressive and they only rarely seek out humans.

There is not a lot of money to be made running a Junior team in Canada, in fact most are losing propositions. While some junior coaches do get paid an honorarium this is not the main occupation for them and they require another job or career just to make ends meet. I would guess that even an assistant CFL coaches position would earn significantly more pay. I could see Harris pursuing that if there indeed was an opportunity.

Yeah, just odd that he would commit to them, a year out, then bail on them before even starting. His life, of course.
