Quote from: Blue In BC on October 12, 2025, 06:31:10 PMFalling on top of the pile is not the player making the DT or getting credit. Late to the party.

The play I remember, he was holding the player's legs while Jones finished him off above...

I don't remember seeing that but it's still a marginal result for an entire game. Do you know when in the game that happened?

On that play the announcer inadvertently said it was Thomas and then on replay it was Woods.

Jake Thomas gets washed every running play he's in basically because if he didn't he'd have a tackle.

The other tackles that played last night? Seven tackles combined.

Jake? Zero. For the fourth straight game.

The results are the results.

Ya, but stats like tackles and sacks are so misleading. He's our 'glue' guy, we need more 'glue' guys on our team. What a bunch of malarkee!! If a reciever went 4 games without a catch, would he play the next game?? Would we be praising him for not making plays by suggesting he's a 'good blocker', or he was running the decoy routes?? I think not. In pro sports, you either produce or you're replaced, except beloved jakie, the guy with a 10 second forty time. keep playing him. What a joke.

Our defence has been decent, my only big concern is the lack of physicality. Other teams make our receivers and qb pay, we seem to lay back and react to plays

( With the exception of special teams)
We aren't generating turnovers nearly enough.

Quote from: Pigskin on October 12, 2025, 05:55:56 PMFord going for Fords knee's. Didn't think Ford was that kind of player.

Brady? Yes, neither did I, and BO's response was to pop up, pat Ford on the helmet, and move on to the next play. BO is a class act. I can't say the same about Tyrell and maybe there's one more reason he's not a Bomber any longer.

He's the turd in the punch bowl. As I told Goldie, I have him on my ignore list. Makes this board much more palatable.

Better check out Mitchell's stats. Stats are reality.

Why do we need another glue guy with Jefferson, Vaughters, Wilson, Holm, Nichols, Kramdi and Parker already on the roster?

We don't need any marginal players being our 'glue' guys. My entire post was written in extreme sarcasm.

Is there any way you can set your settings to block a poster so you don't see anything they post?? That would be awesome if you could do that

Quote from: gordo on October 12, 2025, 02:56:58 PM"Jake is a key part of our defense and a character guy that's been around so long he's like another coach out there. It's not about stats. He consistently fills the J-gap and does an outstanding job of that. Most people don't understand this and are too quick to be critical and point at stats that we don't consider important."

Jake Thomas reminds me of Sam Hurl (Canadian Linebacker) from 2015 to 2017 we stuck him in the middle to fill the gaps and was a favorite of O'Shea... just saying

He is exactly that and both were useless football players
