Punt coverage is horrible

The way guys like Lee hurl their bodies around to make plays they do need to take more care of the extra crap on the sidelines and around the end zone. Those flat grey areas on either side of the end zone need better padding for one thing, as you mention.Sir Purrcival wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 6:08 pmAm I the only one that thinks there is too much crap, too close to the field of play?

Interesting point about Mack being on the ground and not tagging him - I thought there was a rule that they can blow the whistle if the progress is stopped and the play is "over" to prevent this kind of tactic, but it usually takes a few seconds for the zebras to whistle the play dead. But yes, not tagging him would have been better "football awareness".Sir Purrcival wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 5:27 pmCall me unimpressed with this game so far. Adams looks tentative, his passes aren't quite on target and sooner or later, he is going to be late or lead too much and it is going to turn over..
The D didn't look very sharp either especially in that last 40 seconds. That last reception, don't touch the player on the ground. Play isn't dead unless he is touched. 1 sec. !!!! Clock runs out. Lions are a bit lucky to be up as much as they are. Hopefully, they will settle down a little in the second half but the O needs to be a lot crisper and quicker.
And now the wisdom of only one RB rears it's head. Is Shiver's good for the 2nd? I'm not sure he will be. So no run game except for Mackie who also has no backup. Not sure what the brain trust is thinking there?
That was a very borderline call on the Adams pick - there were a few around the league this weekend. That said, there was technically an infraction by the Als defender, and of course that makes it impossible to overturn by review.OV:54-40 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 7:59 pmGood solid win; but lucky with that bogus INT call that should have been a pick 6 for the Als. I thought all scoring plays were automatically reviewed ? chintzy call if so. That interference call on Bagayogo was bogus too IMO. Refs trying to do too much.
That new mini back is impressive.
How bout that hurdle by Mackie on a kick -return - spectacular; this guy is a big load with some wheels and needs a few touches on offence a game IMO.
never have been able to understand why they didnt build the stadium with a lot more space around the endzonesSir Purrcival wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 6:08 pmAm I the only one that thinks there is too much crap, too close to the field of play?

I was commenting on this also! Players sliding into the tunnel and into the wall... It's only a couple feet to the banners. Probably as simple as cost cutting by the provincial government of the day.KnowItAll wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 8:23 pmnever have been able to understand why they didnt build the stadium with a lot more space around the endzonesSir Purrcival wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 6:08 pmAm I the only one that thinks there is too much crap, too close to the field of play?
