Huh? How about that 20 yard shank that set EE up to score a go ahead TD late in the game. PM did NOT get the job done punting.

It wasn't enough to avoid throwing the ball to him, he cost us with a penalty as well. He isn't going to like watching the tape of this game.

As for McCallum, there is no need for him to try and punt to his right, he muffs those the most, plus any distance gained on it is lost due to his line drive to that side of the field.

I think that's what he was getting at.

Until Geroy's heroics ....I thought his 2nd down drop in the 4th quarter was a key turning point — especially for an offence that was struggling so mightily at the time. Hopefully the kid learns from his mistakes and more importantly P-Jack is ready to return next week.

Re: Heatherington.......Brutal game

We've had guys dropping the ball all year.

It's contagious. Especially for the younger guys.

We've had too many guys with questionable hands. Guys like Cory Rodgers, Rufus Skillern, and even RGM. It is a deadly disease if a receiver has it. It even affects guys like Geroy and Paris.

Re: Heatherington.......Brutal game

I think you're all being much too kind to the kid. He had his head up his *** all night long. What kind of coaching tells a kid to look for the ball two steps AFTER making the cut? Brutal is too kind a word. Not ready, poorly trained, unaware, unprepared all come to mind. He was a disgrace to the uniform tonight. He should be gone, but Wally's job with finding, keeping and developing Canadians is his achilles heel. (Ironic, what?) So he'll probably hang around.

Re: Heatherington.......Brutal game

It's one thing to drop a TD, but it's a totally differnt thing to be late on your break and then have the throw bounce off your chest while your hands are down at your side in the 4th Q when your team so badly needs a first down.

Are you referring to Chapdelaine or Bonevides?

Re: Heatherington.......Brutal game

Matt Carter didn't show all that much in TC. Hetherington looked better at that time.

We are now thin at non-import receiver. This, after having the best NI receivers for years. Adam Nicolson didn't pan out. Matt Carter gets picked off the Practice Roster. If those 2 very high draft picks had worked out we would be in good shape at NI receiver.
