TrueBlue Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Saw the release of his most recent fine today, and just quickly looked back, and saw that he's been up there a lot in the second half of the season. Love the guys intensity and he's an all-star, but that's still a hit to the pocketbook. http://press.cfl.ca/player-discipline-week-18 Thursday, October 29, 2015 — TORONTO -- The Canadian Football League announced that it has imposed its maximum fine on Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Jamaal Westerman following a low hit to the knees of Ottawa REDBLACKS quarterback Henry Burris while he was in the act of passing. Westerman was penalized on the play. “Health and safety is of paramount consideration when it comes to the players in our league and we need to ensure we take the necessary steps to protect them,” said Jeffrey L. Orridge, Commissioner of the Canadian Football League. A hearing took place earlier this week that included Westerman, representation from the Canadian Football League Players Association (CFLPA), and representation from the CFL, including Commissioner Orridge. Following the hearing and after reviewing the play on video from every available angle, the Commissioner has decided to impose the highest fine allowed under the CFL’s collective bargaining agreement with the CFLPA. The CFL also announced today the following player discipline from Week 18 games: Toronto Argonaut James Yurichuk was fined for unnecessary roughness in Friday’s game versus the Montreal Alouettes. As per league policy, the amount of the player fines was not disclosed. Here are the other three: http://press.cfl.ca/player-discipline-week-10 http://press.cfl.ca/player-discipline-week-11 http://press.cfl.ca/player-discipline-week-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 It has to be frustrating for Westerman, being expected to provide 90% of the pass rush all by himself, so if he's cranky, it would be understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 17to85 was just saying to me in FB chat, never mind the fine, they should be guaranteeing him MODP for doing everything he can to get rid of Burris... Mr. Perfect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Crappy cheap shot and it wasn't even the first time he did it in the game let alone the season. I hate that kind of crap no matter who does it. No surprise that he's a little lighter in the wallet. If there were any teeth in the CFL he'd get at least a 1 game suspension. Too bad too. I like everything else about Westerman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think that if J. Westerman really wanted to hurt H Burris, we'd be seeing a release from Ottawa saying that HB was on the 6 game IR. JW's punishment is just fine by me.

pigseye Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Did they mention how he was held on the play forcing him to lunge at the qb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-F-F-C Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Did they mention how he was held on the play forcing him to lunge at the qb? Did they mention the direct hit to the head on Nicholls? Did they mention the late tackle after our player went out of bounds? I don't normally ***** about the refs but I really noticed some obvious missed calls last game. And what was worse was that the refs were looking directly at the infraction and didn't call a penalty. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 It affected Burris the second half as he cooled off passing. Ha, that there is Suitor-talk, an obvious attempt not to credit the Bomber defence, so...it must be because he was bothered by that injury/non-injury.

Ripper Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Westerman has been good. He is trending in the direction of being dirty. I like players that play on the edge and even over it from time to time. He is walking a fine line IMHO right now Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Westerman plays through to the whistle with motivation, hard to stop a guy that never gives up on a play. basslicker and Westy Sucks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach17 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Sorry guys, gotta agree with Burgess, was a play with intention to injure. Has no place in this game. Should have gotten at least a 1 game suspension. Doesn't really matter what other transgressions happened to Bomber personal previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the replay on that play once & from what I saw I Westerman went after Hank's ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
