mbrg Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 The first UR penalty was pretty suspect. He and a RedBlack hit each other at the same time and then patted each other on the head and laughed and Kuale was flagged. Blindsiding a guy when the play is over is the definition of stupidity, especially since it was made a point of emphasis for officials, which players are well aware of. It's a pointless, selfish act, and that kind of crap is continually costing our team field position and points. Maybe Kuale should take up MMA, cause team sports sure aren't his thing. At least there his selfish stupidity will only hurt himself. He didn't blindside anyone on the play. They went face-to-face and neither player got the better of the other. Kuale has taken a number of stupid penalties but that penalty shouldn't have been called. The hit that was called was a late and unnecessary blindside, exactly what the officials are watching for. Kuale came across the field and blindsided Verdone on a punt return when our returner was already on the turf. Verdone popped up, they had words and Kuale tapped him on the head afterward. You must have missed the hit that drew the flag and only caught the aftermath. I didn't like that call when they made it on Leggett back in July, so I can't pretend it's a good call here either. There are 24 guys engaged in hits and blocking all over the field on special teams plays. If the refs want the players to stop playing they all need to blow their whistles, not just the guy by the ball carrier. You should not be flagging a guy 25 yards away from the tackle if there isn't a ref nearby blowing his whistle as well, and Kuale should not be looking back over his shoulder to see what the refs are doing, he should be looking at the player he's engaged with. Ottawa's fans also know how to have a noisy stadium. I did not think that hit was from the blindside at all. He hit the front corner of his left shoulder, albeit from a fairly shallow angle. That hit on the QB is not a UR penalty in the NFL. They still have a much higher tolerance for the amount of time that passes between a throw and a hit and still allow that extra half second. It is more often than not a penalty in the CFL (although I've seen those not get flagged sometimes too). Kuale plays in the CFL. He knows there is minimal tolerance on most hits to the QB.

17to85 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Did anyone listen to the piece on Kuale they did on the CJOB pregame show before I think it was the Banjo Bowl? Really hammered home my belief that the guy is just way too dumb to know when he's actually ****** up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Dont the Bombers have some communications director that is supposed to be on top of these things? When a Jets player tweets something dumb, his phone rings three seconds later and its Scott Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's up with that guy... he's out of control!!!! Did he seriously tweet that? If so I must follow him. That's actually funny. I'll take random deep, unintentionally hilarious tweets over lame inside jokes and non-stop self promotion. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 His injury is a blessing in disguise for the Bombers. I'm hoping Wild is back and Kromah can be inserted somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 It is sure hard to feel bad for Kuale getting unfair penalties when the most notable thing I've seen him do in a Bomber game is the heinous cheap shot that pretty much killed the old, good Buck Pierce. And I still remember how he and Barker continued to claim that it wasn't a dirty play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearpants Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 That play is really hard to watch... especially on the slo-mo replay when you can clearly see EJ throw his helmet right in Buck's face... nice play by Buck though to get the ball down field...

It's right there in the video: http://vid288.photobucket.com/albums/ll198/Takara_Soong/Kualepenalty.mp4 The whole point is the play was well past him, and the ball was out of bounds, no need for him to make contact, and I didn't see the other player running towards him. If that was the case and Kuale didn't respond the penalty could have gone the other way. Kuale just wanted to impose himself physically like he always does.

It certainly wasn't a blindside hit, a bit late, but since both players were engaged, I wouldn't have called it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 hate to be defending Kuale here but yeah, that call was pretty weak. That being said, given his reputation, it almost looks like a set-up as the Ottawa guy saw who it was and knew if he acted aggressively he'd get an over-the-top response, and Kuale didn't disappoint. It's time for Ejiro to go join Casey Printers on a motivational speaking tour, and hang up the cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
