IT'S OFFICIAL, WE ARE HEADING TO MTL

[dd]

First of all he's only been here 3 weeks. He's a guy they brought up for a look during the extended PR time.

Second, he was facing a depth tackle and won a few reps. It's promising but it doesn't mean he's a world beater.

Hey Lawson and Thomas were playing against the same depth tackle and did either register a tackle?? Nope. And ya, they're nats but that's the problem our NAT d linemen contribute negligibly to our defensive tackle stats. And betts is a NAT right?? Spend some money and get quality nats.

Forecast for Sun Nov 2 in Montreal is 9C and rain.  The Sat & Mon are similar, but without the rain.

A rain game may be to our benefit as we have a far better run game.  However, not having Strev available in a rainy grinder will hurt.  Wilson can NOT do his run package (even if he can do SY).

Eyeballing flights now... The tickets are NOT ticketmaster... they use their own thing (good for them!).  Use the tickets link from their site.  Looks mostly sold, but more than enough pair seats left as of right now.  Might change tomorrow once the win news reaches the fairweather/non-fans.  Hotels don't seem to be a problem -- lots of good deals in that huge city.  It's not like this is the F1 weekend!

That 54 was lights out.
Same with Yaworski
Nice to see our recruits run around their o line.

Lack of film.  PJ would say: "simple as"

See my expanded post in the GDT.  Any "secret sauce" by the noobs will be studied in the next 7 days and neutralized.  Don't get too excited by just 1 game!

However... I did kind of have a sense that Younger was maybe holding back on a plan to actually get pressure come the playoffs.  Make everyone think we only bring 3 all season, make them think our DL is hot crap... then go sack crazy come the semi-final.

I would enjoy seeing something like that.

Probably not easy to do, but our players could pull it off. We don't have the most physical d, but my impression is that we have a  smart D.

Just looked, Nick Callender was playing left tackle for the als for, at least  part of the game... he started against us in the Grey Cup. East all star 2023

Can we agree he looked four times as effective as Jake Thomas, an 18 game starter and coach on the field who's biggest contribution this week was wasting a timeout on the teams.

Jake had a tough season. 18 games, 9 DTs. Last year. 18 games 23 DTs, 2 QS, 1 FF.

We know 1 poster that will babble on and not agree with you. lol

The new DE's looked quite effective but MBT is not the elusive QB that Alexander would have been.

prob 5 times..these guys have speed and used that speed, our starters don't have that level of speed or quickness - they are smarter but that doesn't always work. 

i suspect we will trot out the same crew and go to a 3 man rush with no pressure and Alexander will pick us apart

IMO we see Jenkins on the AR in the playoffs as a back up. He'll replace Person who was active more recently but bumped to the PR.

Munier-Bailey had a decent game but is there a Canadian he could bump as the 2nd global? Because Demski and Kramdi were both off due to being nicked, it opened up a spot. I'm not sure we had another option.

[The Zipp]

if we ride BO this game and our secondary can shut down Mack and Spieker and Castillo is 100% we will win.

[GOLDMEMBER]

These new DE guys impressed. Play Jenkins next week!

why and how the bombers can accept this is beyond me.

When you're more worried about rewarding and honoring past effort than winning this year.

Sorry but it's true and not just for Jake Thomas.

as Bailey can also play special teams (great tackle on Rambo in the 4th I can easily see him replacing Ball or Hallet even Petersen since Olivera will be back) Demski will be in for Corocan or Cobb. As mentioned Als maybe more susceptible to speed rush and he could help there

Peterson has to dress in order to have a back up RB. If Demski plays then Cobb or Corcoran might come out. Not sure whether to believe O'Shea that Demski will play but hopefully he'll be ok.

Hallett would be the next choice to take out in order to keep Bailey.
