Bighill done

[DM83]

hey Crazy

I was just wondering who you thought was playing well?

[DM83]

lol! So was I.
All I ask for is effort.
I think Demski I thought Olieviera, and #27 and Shoen.  Of course Wally, I like Strev.
Offensively we were more competitive.

Defensively, we don't have a pass rush, so every cover guy will be looking awful. And. This is noticed by all teams we have played.
God help us if no body is brought in to rush the passer. It was like a seven second clock. Did you see the one play where no one rushed and Adams was untouched.  It was like. The team o portion of practice." Let the QB throw" I asked to see the stats, but am missing them.
Also missed Schoen injury anyone explain what happened? Thanks

I do not have stats for this, but watching Bighill over the years since he got here my impression is that he has not been effective rushing the passer.

Biggie has never been much of a sacker.  He's done the odd one, but it's usually futile.  I don't think they bother scheming him in that way anymore.  He's used to stuff holes and roam the flat or drop back into deeper coverage.

He is a big part of why our run D is still decent, even though he doesn't get the stat himself.  Remember, he still is directing everyone back there.  He has great rapport with Wilson and they are a very good combo.

Sankey and Bighill have the exact same guaranteed money, Sankey can make up to 6k more for being an all-star but other than that their contracts earn them the same.

I don't buy that.  You're telling me Sankey is only earning $175ish?  Because that's the last I remembering hearing for Biggie... or less.

Sankey is a $200+ LB easily.  My guess is $220.  If someone got him for $175 then that's a steal.

This time last year, Sankey wasn't playing for anyone, so who knows what he signed for. I wish we could have signed him, he's a force at MLB, arguably the best in the CFL

Biggie was making plays in week 1 & 2.  You didn't see him much in week 3 because VAJ is a gunslinger.  It's not Biggie's job to be 60Y downfield.

If you want to point out a guy who is never on the scene, why not talk about Alexander?  The only FS in the league who is never in the picture on a 60Y explosion.

Biggie is also very cap friendly.  He's probably the most affordable vet MLB in the league.

Out of everything wrong with our D, Biggie is literally the last thing to worry about.  If you see specific plays he's costing us bigtime, mark the Q & clock and post them here and we can all take a look.  It's often hard to see if a specific single player is botching things if you're not focusing on him.

Just my 2c.

Biggie didn't play in Week 1 from what I remember

Argh!  Yes yes, I misspoke!      I've been corrected 3 times now!  Ya, Biggie still had his TC injury in week 1.  So change what I said to him looking good in week 2.

Heard Schoen's injury happened on the play Woli lost his helmet, apparently non contact far side of the field so it wasn't caught on film.

Thanks!  Spotted it!  3Q7:05 live time you can see him topple down in front of his defender.  Doesn't look like he was touched.

This is probably the worst case scenario then and we are in heaps and loads of trouble!!

He was doing his juke dance stop/stutter to make his cut inside and goes down.  That's usually ACL, and that means season ender.  However, ACL usually doesn't need 2 guys carrying you off the field 1hr later.  So it could also be achilles, and that is more than a season ender.  Achilles often requires dudes carrying you off... but weird that they wouldn't boot it on-field!

But I don't see any indication trainers went out on-field, so Schoen must have gone off on his own power... and he was on the East side, which is long walk!  So how did he get off?  Why not take a knee?  Trying not to screw up our Woli celebration and ruin the tempo?  I guess he could have snuck off to the East sideline... being able to do that would hint at ACL/MCL and not achilles.

What an overall odd situation!  We got tons of replays of the Woli play but nothing wide-out or all-24.  Very hard to pin this down precisely.  Best case is minor MCL or something.

TSN is so useless for injury reports!  They should have been all over this!  This is a big in-game story.

Now I'm bummed out again.  Where's that ledge??

They probably ask the teams for injury specifics on the sidelines or up in the booth, in the case of the Bombers you know how that will go.

They're both earning 165k and Sankey has 6k in bonuses available to top out at 171k. I don't really care if you don't buy it, the information is out there to be consumed lol

No team is under any obligation to divulge injury details to the media.

I'm always so torn on this, especially in this day and age. With the way they shove betting in your face non-stop, teams should be forced to be more transparent with injury reports but OTOH, I think you need to respect privacy if the player as well.

Looked like AB4 tweaked his calf today early in practice. Seemed to shake it out, and was running extra sprints later in practice.

Unfortunate but I wouldn't mind seeing what Jones can do if we bring him off the PR.
