Yeah i think they just enter the height/weight for Williams twice (both listed as 6'1, 190).    Most places have him listed at 6 or 6'1 and around 255.

Hey I can show a guy how to go from 190 to 235 easy. Did that over the course of a couple years in university. I call it the pizza and beer diet.

I am very well versed in this particular diet...

be nice if we signed a current situation signing and inserted said signing...they are out there but when you have the mindset "we good" and the belief that things will just work...cause they so happened to do so 4...5 yrs ago.well you get a less than stellar roster that can compete...but not finish the deal

I go back to Demario Houston who was here with hall as DC and now Younger. Even Houston a vet admitted he needed a few weeks to get the terminology and schemes down. I would guess for a guy brand new to Canada never mind the cfl, it’s gonna take some time to get used to everything. I think our D scheme is a little more complex than BCs. BC spent money on betts and the DL and want the sacks. We seem to be content with just pressure and if we get a sack in the process, great. I feel some teams D live and die on sacks and pressure, ours ? Not so much. But then I see B.C. has given up 454 points through 16 games. Bombers 373 through 15. Weirdly enough riders given up the least. Then it’s us Calgary and Montreal at 373 through 15 games. BC actually well. Toronto has given up the most then BC then Hamilton then Ottawa. Then there’s a gap but Edmonton also over 400 points given up. Everyone else? Under

What do the D stats look like over the last month? That's when BC finally started to play decent D.

The only QB's they've held under 25 points are Tre Ford, Montreal's 3rd and 4th stringers, Crum and Vernon Adams the past 3 weeks.

BC has an excellent offense and a pretty poor D.

[TBURGESS]

Last 4 weeks BC held CGY to 23 & 24, TOR to 22, and OTT to 27.  Their big problem right now is the number of penalties they're taking.

In summary, BC sucks?

Yes I do indeed need new material. 🙂

While seemingly contradictory, redundancy and accuracy occurs in many contexts. You’re good.

But our D has allowed 70 less points in the same number of games. Sacks and pressure is nice but doesn’t lead to points not being scored against.

Nothing wrong with the classics.
