GOOD
W
OL run block
Brady knowing he was the only chance to win
Elgersma manages the short game
Hot route is back!
Many players made good/impact plays - triple the last game
BAD
Calling everyone-curls on play #1 when it's never worked with Zach
UGLY
Pass pro breakdown hoses Zach
Horribly boring game for non-WPG/HAM fans; sounds like it was one of the few CBS shows -- bummer for obtaining new USA fans
Good
6 pass knockdowns for the defence
- Major Williams (3)
- Jaylen Smith
- Collin Kornelson
- Deatrick Nichols (dropped INT)
Trey Vaval on punt returns
- 19.0 yard average on 6 punts caught in the air
- Triggered a No Yards penalty by charging the ball on another punt
- 0.0 yard average on 2 punts that bounced near the sideline
Bad
Winnipeg chose to receive a kickoff after a Hamilton FG in Q2 as opposed to taking ball on W40. Vaval returned ball to W29 which is 11 yards back of where they could have had it. I don't mind the call, it was just a bad result.
Ugly
Ankle injury to Bo Levi Mitchell

It's funny and sad. But the reasons, mostly, are because they just weren't competitive compared to the Americans for so long. It's pretty interesting that not only do we have a pipeline of Canadians coming from American programs (less surprising) but also two Canadians coming from Canadian ones (much more surprising). Elgersma might just be a unicorn.
