TiCats at REDBLACKS GDT Fri 600PM CT

Prior to these plays, Litre was 26/29 (89.7%) on the season from under centre on situations where 1 yard or less is required. Odds say that it was the right call - who knew that he would be stuffed twice.

Yes, the 3rd down play call was questionable.

Man BLM just threw for over 400 yds and you gonna give the ball to litre!? TWICE, and then a third time from the backfield?!? C'mon man, get serious.

BLM getting the single-season HAM Y record may be enough to push him to win the E nomination... whether he gets the league nod remains to be seen.

So he's playing on a team that s never put up big passing numbers, big deal.

Over blown, over hyped by the media,making a big deal out of it because what else are they going to talk about in Hamilton!?!

Litre had just stuffed in a hard rushing TD earlier in the half... he was on a roll.  It was an ok call.

The big mistake was not going for the sneak on 3rd down.  MOS wouldn't make that mistake.  When they fail a sneak twice, I don't know why some teams take it off the line.  Just keep pounding it, if your SY is decent, you can calculate the odds of failing 3 times.

Everyone and their dog knew what the play was when they lined up 2 RB in the I formation like that.  It's going to the 2nd RB every time.

I wanted the Bombers to sign Litre in FA as a multi use FB, the way the TiCats use him he's proven to be such a useful player. In addition to the blocking assignments and taking the occasional handoff they use him as a TE receiver as well as in short yardage. Still waiting for MCI or Feltmate to receive their first touch of the season, I think the Bombers need to follow the Ti-Cats lead on this one and ask more of their FB's.

Ya, let's do what the worst team in the east is doing!! Not!!

If you want extra blocking protection, bring in an extra OL like we do, like every other CFL team does.you want to run the ball, give it to your ace running back like we do. Every time Litre runs the ball it's one less rep for Greg bell, who can run circles around litre. Teams have gotten away from the fullback as they aren't as good at running the ball at their running backs, and can't block as well as an OL.

I always like the idea of the FB/TE sneak-out to be wide open for TDs or 1st downs.  It's a great read because it's basically "free": if he's wide open it's TD, if not don't throw to him.  All you need is a FB that has remotely decent hands and a nice soft pass.

But I wouldn't hold out much hope for FB/TE/6th OL getting targets any time soon.  MOS recently said in a presser that he would throw it to Miller once in a while because it fired up the whole team whenever he got a touch.  That's more a function of Miller being Miller than a general strategy to target these players.

That said, my entire goal in life is to see an eligible Tui Eli make a catch 10Y down the field with no one around him.
