Mark H. Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 How is it even possible...to blitz for more than half the game and generate hardly any pressure? The front 7 and OL looked dead out there today. Props to the secondary for giving a good effort. DR. CFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Good one. Yeah, I noticed the grin was gone on the sidelines too. Maybe MOS is finally wising up instead of being a wise guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Wild looked like he hasn't lost a beat- one of two in the front seven worth keeping, but Leggett was invisible for the most part and so was Kromah. I can't imagine the O-line being worse for putting Hinse, Swystun and/or Goossen in. Cotton ran with some determination and was certainly no worse than Grigsby, although the run blocking was pretty much as pathetic. Willy needs to sit out- he looks shell-shocked and he must be afraid to wake up in the mornings. It was garbage time, but Brohm looked decent. The D-line was, well, the D-line- same old, same old with Peach, a journeyman player looking the best of the sad lot. Why did we bring Vega back? Anyone? Thought so. The real concern is whether Etcheverry is worth keeping and if Bellefeuille could do better with better talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Bomber Fan Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 same old story - receivers standing still catching passes rather than on the move. Willy holding onto ball too long hence receiver standing waiting for ball. No running game. No screens, no flairs - poor offensive game plan. Lost possession battle yet again but this time by a huge margin in first quarter alone. Poor O line. D line no pressure - trick formations not tricky anymore - opposition teeing off with the run we have no answer for it. Tackling improved slightly but still much work needed. Penalties killing us as usual. Beginning of the year we were good - then came game 7 and I think since then we lead the league in penalties per game yet MOS will insist we aren't that bad. No discipline self motivated or otherwise. Coaches should look in the mirror as well as the players. Much rebuilding needed to be successful however we have won 3 more games than last year.

Tracker Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Listened to the post-game interview of O'Shea on CJOB. O'Shea was trying very hard to be upbeat but sounded defeated- much like LaPolice and Burke when things were becoming dire and they realized that there was to be no quick fix and they were going to be hanged. I'm sure that it is not coming to that for O'Shea, but it think he has realized that enthusiasm can substitute for talent and effort for only so long. O'Shea is looking at ending the season with another three losses and one win in three months. Not a good thing to carry over the next 8 months.

That's good evidence that Willy's self-preservation instinct is still functioning. Good for him- he wasn't expecting to be the human tackling dummy.

pigseye Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 The penalties are something I would expect to see at a junior game, just awful, I can't believe a HC just turns his back on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CFl Draft is nothing like the NHL, NBA, NFL or even the MLB Draft. Tell that to the Stampeders who made one bad choice in years. Drafted Ameet Pall in 2012. Other than that their picks have consistently been very good. So how come they can do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
