Tucker really is a class individual and has always represented both the Eskimoes and the league well. I also wish him a full and speedy recovery. On the topic of helmet to helmet, I have noticed a number of those hits, particularly this weekend. Arjei Franklin of the Bombers was hit hard just befor...

"Sure I thought of pulling [Jackson], especially when he's throwing into coverage," Buono said Saturday. "That's why you have to be careful about pulling him. He settled down and did a good job. "Some guys can handle the pressure because it makes them focus more. Some guys fall ...

We need another discussion of the "no helmet to helmet hits" rule. Someone in authority has to champion a rule change. As we have discussed before, there should be no need to consider intent. If the helmet hits helmet = penalty. No intent needed. Attacking player must control his own helm...

The one thing that I will remember about Tucker, if this is the end for him as a player, is a final effort he made to recover the fumble AFTER the hit he took. I think this goes to show what kind of player, teammate, and probably more importantly the type of person he is. Get well Mr. Tucker :cr: :...

I don't think kicking it out of bounds is an option anymore because unless you are allowed to kick it out of bounds inside your own 20, there would be a penalty called and the game can't end on a penalty. So you would be most certainly giving the other team a second shot at the field goal, even if ...

Huge play of the game was LION82's recovery of the Brett Anderson fumble. If not, we would be a 2-3 football team today. True, but the replay showed Anderson was clearly down before the fumble, and had first-down yardage. The fumble likely would have been overturned on review. That is how I saw it ...

After watching the TSN tape of the game, some more observations ... Otis Floyd did end up isolated in pass coverage on Avon Cobourne at times, but I think, given a choice of which LB for that dangerous task, the Lions would like it to be Otis. It was nice to see the Lions go away from running Clermo...

... I thought that Joe Smith was the reason why we won this game tonight. He was so freaking clutch everytime we called his number for a crucial play. He converted at least two 3rd downs, converted a key 2nd down conversion, scored a very important TD, and made the play that set up Paul McCallum's ...

A great CFL game. It looks like Calgary has made a late successful comeback, but they leave 52 seconds on the clock. Dinwiddie hits Bryant with 12 seconds left for a TD and the win. Dinwiddie is 24 of 39 for 450 yards and 1 TD. Burris is 31 of 44 for 386 yards and 3 TDs. Just another game in the CFL...

Let's not pin everything on Jarious for his inconsistency in the first three quarters. I didn't think the line held as well for him last night. The pocket seemed to collapse in front of him on every passing play as the Bombers threw stunts at us that we hadn't seen the week before. It's easy to sit...

I wonder how much the NFL QB program affected JJ. It is almost as if he has to perform the first read. Then if it takes an extra second for the receiver to get open he continues to follow him, telegraphing where he is going to throw the ball. The pick for a TD (Hall?) combined all of this with one ...

Losing Cory Rodgers is a much bigger deal than I think a lot of people are willing to admit at this point. I hope he can fully recover and be a contributor next season, but I suspect it may take him a full year to get back up to speed and it may not be until the 2010 season that we see him be the p...
