Re: TiCats @ Lions -- Post Game Comments

So he has his quarterback and that’s interesting because Tedford says he’s taken a more active role in the offence. There’s some suggestion in Lions circles that, earlier in the season, Tedford deferred to his more experienced CFL assistants — offensive co-ordinator George Cortez and receivers coac...

Re: Don`t Throw the Book at Tedford Yet

This is a truly funny post! I doubt that the OP was trying to be funny. Attempting to connect the management of a football team to the Kennedy assassination, 9-11, and the global economic system came across as weird IMO. I would have preferred it if he had just tried to stay on topic. And of course...

Re: TiCats @ Lions -- Post Game Comments

So before the wave of the "ten goody two-shoes" on this site get started (that won't criticize their own corrupt governments let alone their hometown football coaches), about how there are no problems on this football team OPEN YOUR EYES to what has happened and is happening all around yo...

Re: Don`t Throw the Book at Tedford Yet

None of this relates to Wally Buono, people in this thread simply attempted to "de-rail" it by calling it a "conspiracy theory", which is a wondrous thing and not the now widely considered pejorative definition courtesy of the CIA. Your responses to my comments aren't based on fa...

Re: Don`t Throw the Book at Tedford Yet

I find a lot of this discussion to be confusing and contradictory. I keep hearing about Wally is the guy who makes all coaching decisions and how Tedford won't have any say. I think Tedford had total control in assembling his staff. If Wally had so much say why did his longest serving and most trus...

Re: TiCats @ Lions -- Post Game Comments

Most of the "so called" nay-sayers have been commenting on the fact that since Jennings took over this team and Tedford got involved with the Special teams that this group looked good enough to win a Grey Cup, but those things also coincided with a number of key changes on Defence. One, th...

Re: Jennings First 3 Games Establishes an Impressive Stat

Only Jeff Garcia in 1995 (1,210 yds) and Robin Tote in 1961 (1,158 yds) passed for more yards than Jennings in 2015 (1, 017 yds) in their first three starts. Considering that Jennings is also in his rookie season as a pro with our Leos that is impressive. I mentioned that stat in my preview in the ...

Re: Lions' Defence for 2015

What Joe and I both understand is that in this millennium "running the football" can mean many, many things. It started with Bill Walsh and Roger Craig in SF...their West Coast Offence, and short, quick passing game provided a NEW DEFINITION to the "running game". With SF, both C...

Re: Lions @ Eskimos -- Blog, Post Game Stats and Comments

The Lions have been using a backup quarterback (often a third-stringer) to run QB sneaks for years. Jarious Jackson did it for years to spare Dave Dickenson and Buck Pierce from hits and because, frankly, he was good at it. Jennings did it as a rookie earlier in the year while Lulay started. Many t...

Re: How to rebuild

I find it interesting that suddenly we have the talent to win the Grey Cup (assuming we make the playoffs). According to some experts we lacked talent earlier in the year. Mea culpa. TLK, I was very concerned about our base of talent last year and through the first half of this year, but that was w...

Re: How to rebuild

As Blitz said, Huff and Trestman both knew how crucial play calling is and were slow to hand it over (I don't think Trestman ever did). Tedford doesn't even seem to have a say in the offence at all, which is bizarre beyond belief, because I know for myself, I would have had almost complete control ...

Re: Jennings First 3 Games Establishes an Impressive Stat

To provide a perspective on Jonathan Jennings first 3 games of his pro career with our Leos, the Vancouver Sun notes Jennings first three games were the third most passing yardage for a quarterback for their first three starts. Only Jeff Garcia in 1995 (1,210 yds) and Robin Tote in 1961 (1,158 yds)...

Re: How to rebuild

In the rare cases in the CFL, over the past decade or so, when we have had a Head Coach come to the CFL with a background as an NFL offensive coordinator, they have been successful and innovative. Hufnagel has more than made his mark on Calgary and his influence as a former offensive coordinator im...

Re: Lions @ Eskimos -- Blog, Post Game Stats and Comments

Excellent comments guys. I would like to make a few comments about Harris...first, I don't think that he is merely a good RB, I think that he is a GREAT RB and that ONE season in a unpredictable offence and Harris will show the entire league just how good he is (2,000 + yards from the LOS). I watch...

Re: Lions @ Eskimos -- Blog, Post Game Stats and Comments

Another issue that was highlighted in our Leos loss to Edmonton was Leone missing his 6th convert in the last 12 attempts, missed a very makeable field goal that almost turned into disaster (80 yd. Edmonton return nullified by penalty). Leone shanked a 15 yd. attempt the last time we played Edmonto...
