I'll preface this thread by saying, I am not complaining at all about the win tonight.  Beating Saskatchewan is the best thing in the world no matter  how it was done.  We rarely win in Regina and this is a happy occasion.

 

Do not get me wrong at all, it was a great game, our offense was fantastic, Drew Willy played exceptional, Paris Cotton is a beast, Nick Moore is back and better than before, Clarence Denmark is a warrior.  And screw the Bellefeuille haters, he outdid Chapdelaine this game.

 

 

 

 

But......

 

Richie Hall's defense was not looking good out there.  Lots of plays where guys were out of position, vanilla playcalling, getting gashed in the run, thank god Adams came up with that pick on that one throw or we might really have gotten in trouble.  A little surprised too that the Riders didn't go for it on 3rd and short when they were on their last possession and punted it there even though I know Messam got a bit whacked there.

 

It was a good game but this defense had better not be getting gashed like that week in and week out.  Hall was hired to fix it and fix the run and so far, he almost looks worse than Etcheverry.  I'm gonna enjoy the win for the time being but we can't afford that in Hamilton next week or late in the season.

 

Dude - you want to live in Maui. Honolulu is for the tourists!

We're likely visiting Maui in January.

 

I've been to Maui a few times and always find it relaxing and chilled out.

 

Got invited to the drum circle on the nude beach while i was with my three year old.. Kinda wierd.

 

But.. Maui is a great place to chill out and relax for a couple of weeks.. Last time i was there was november 2013.. Great weather and fun times with the family.

 

Should be going again next winter.

We'll be there in November again. Have to find a stream so that I can watch the playoffs.

I schedule my vacations around the CFL season.

I wonder who was on the line in the 3-4....

 

Westerman Anderson Turner?

 

Wouldn't mind seeing that! I thought in the few reps Turner got last year at DE he looked pretty darn good

 

In the 4-3 line I'd like to see Fraser replace Peach as well.... He looked better last year than Peach at End IMO.

If we were a little bigger up front, and better at keeping linemen off our linebackers, I'd not be against the idea of running a 3-4 .. but as it is, we had trouble controlling gaps when we went to a 5-2 in obvious running situations.  We simply don't have the bodies ..

Turner at end is interesting... he's down a little bit in size this year too... but the biggest problem is we don't have a true NT in that system...

Nate Collins is what 6'5 330 lbs I would think he is everything you want in a NT. Harlan is not a small guy either.

He is listed at 6'2 294 lbs

you know on the Jets site Toby Enstrom was listed as 5'10... but everyone knows he's much smaller than that. I'd take what the teams list their players at on their website with a bit of a grain of salt... Collins is a pretty big guy... not sure he's 350 but i highly doubt he's 294 either.

That's what I thought.... but size doesn't necessarily mean he can play NT... there's a huge difference btwn playing DT in a 4-3 and NT in a 3-4... That being said, I have no idea if Collins has experience at NT... 

From Doug Brown's column in today's Freep:

For the team to be competitive over the next two weeks, however, the defence is going to have to improve by metric miles and not just the toddler wobbles we have witnessed so far. Roughly 17 per cent through the regular season, the Bombers defence is last in total defence, last in average passing yards given up per game and second to last in average rushing yards surrendered and points given up.
