Man was that a cringe opening…

 

Let’s go Brady! Take home some hardware!

Is Bighill a free agent?  Maybe he can sign a huge fat contract with a different team and help that club waste a roster spot. 

Argos special teams coach lays out what he thinks are keys to Janarion Grant’s kick return success …. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/15/landry-3-keys-to-janarion-grants-success/

 

But I have a different theory (Janarion & I have discussed this) … left-handedness! Janarion is a lefty and there is some evidence, although controversial, that lefties have superior spatial awareness. Has to do with dominance of the right hemisphere of the brain in spatial navigation.

1 should be that he doesn't waste any energy running across the field.  He always gets vertical right away and if he works to the sideline he angles and doesn't turn his hips.

Most cover teams are covering width, not depth, and if you simply run past the first wave up the field instead of trying to out run the contain guy to the edge you have a chance to break a return.

It's really hard to teach someone to run into potential contact and especially teach speedy guys to just not try to beat everyone to the edge as a first instinct.

When he played for Winnipeg O'Shea said that pound-for-pound Grant was the toughest player on the team. He does usually take it straight up but there is no doubt he sees the field extremely well. This one was classic

Coach Phil has a theory too ...

Yeah grants success is pretty simple in my mind.. catch the ball and hit it hard and fast up the middle. Break through that first wave then it's usually just a foot race. Doesn't waste time or energy dancing around

It doesn't hurt that he's lethal with the stiff arm.

for being a small frame dude and bench pressing almost 400 pounds.....doesnt hurt....dude is strong as hell

Watching those highlights - that's terrible ball security in that game by the Als.  One less fumble & the Als are probably in BC. The Bombers need to contain Grant and protect the football. The Argos will get pressure and they'll be looking to strip the ball.

Yup the Argos D were a turnover machine last week. The Argoblows would be watching this week if not.

Not so much from hard hits either. More stripping the ball while a receiver was running with it and not securing properly.

Yup. They are very violent in the way they try to strip the ball. Our receivers and punt returners take note.

Especially Ontaria Wilson, he fights to stay up, better to go down like Clarence Denmark, no fumble, no injury.

If they aren't aware after losing to the argos in the summer precisely because they didn't secure the ball I'm not sure we have much hope...

I see I used the prime word there. I shouldn’t have. It should have said as much as it pains me to say, a healthy bighill is more impactful than Jones is currently.  Still giving up a million yards on the ground. 

Argument could be made that if Sergio doesn’t have his 2 worst games. We beat Toronto both times.

Bombers have given up 100 yards rushing (not to a single player, to a team) once since Bighill went out and it was in a game they won by 30 points.

An inexperienced Jones is still better than a cooked Bighill. It's no coincidence we've played better against the run since Bighill got hurt. He's done as a player & yet still thinks he can play. And Osh will give it to him. That's the scary part.

That’s a telling stat.

Or if the command center stepped in and did their job...we win the first...oh...but they admitted after they screwed up...that makes it better

That spot on 3rd and 1 at the end of the game was dodgy too IMO. 

Bottom line both games vs. The argos were close and a few little things here and there are ultimately the difference.

I don’t like how we play the argos generally. They have our number. Hopefully the Zach we seen the last few weeks is the same one tomorrow.
