Voici un article de 3Downnation du 6/08, sur les meilleurs et pires moment de la semaine 9.

Pire moment: la décision du centre de commandement de la CFL, suite à l’échappée de J. Tuck lors de la partie Montréal vs Hamilton, du 2/08……

Celle-là ne sera pas battue avant au moins 10 ans.

Ça me rappelle une fin de partie étrange contre les Lions il y a environ 15 ans. Le cafouillage avait permis aux Lions de gagner la partie in extremis.

In an interview at the beginning of the game 2 weeks ago, Jarious Jackson also said he was sticking with MBT.

Voici article du 6/08 sur le site de la CFL, ainsi la ligne offensive de Hamilton a obtenu les honneurs :
PFF unit grade: 73.0
Top-3 performers:
2 bloqueur offensifs: B. Bordner 71,8
J. Murray. 71.7
1 garde: C. Woodmansey. 69.8

J’espère que les Alouettes engageront pour l’équipe de pratique, un nouveau joueur de ligne défensif pour augmenter la compétition et pour devenir un partant de qualité.

3downnation opined that the Edmonton offensive line should get the laurels this week. Of course the difficulty the defence has to stop TF plays a big part.

That was a crazy finish to the Ott-Sask game. Terrible overturn by the command centre on the roughing the passer call on Crum. The Sask linebacker was cut blocked and just rolled into Crum. Totally not his fault.
Anyone know why Dyce was so upset at the end of the game??? He got a tie his team didn’t deserve!
Edit: Ah this is what happened: https://3downnation.com/2024/08/09/redblacks-head-coach-bob-dyce-involved-in-sideline-altercation-after-unidentified-individual-harasses-players/

People need to understand the rules. It does not matter how he was blocked. It isn’t about intention it is about the contact. Of course it wasn’t intentional but the penalty applies and it should have been called on the field. That’s like saying he didn’t intend to stick his fingers in his face mask, probably not but it is a penalty none the less. And if you rewatch it he avoided the cut block and dove in Crums shins. This was the proper call.

Un article du 9/08 de 3DownNation, sur la partie nulle de 22-22 entre Saskatchewan et Ottawa.

Après le film , « Y-a-t-il un pilote dans l’avion? » (Airplane) en 1981, maintenant à l’affiche dans un stade de la CFL, près de chez vous:
« Y-a-t-il un réviseur professionnel et compétent du football dans le Centre de commande?»

Vercheval does not agree. Bad call.

Vercheval is a Dinosaur and he’s been mailing it in. Unless you enjoy his food comedy. The rules are explicit, Opponent can not make contact with a QB above the shoulders or below the knees. This cut block is fantasy. OL makes contact with Defender right at the hip and defender launches himself into the QB.

Oh I understand the rule. It is just that it is inconsistent. On a kick, if you are pushed into within five-yards of the returner it isn’t a penalty. Different rules, I know, but the same impact. I get and support the idea of protecting QBs, but if a running back (it wasn’t an OLman in this case) cut blocks you and causes you to go flying into the QB below the knee I am not sure how a player avoids that. So yeah, is that the rule, yes. Is it right? Not IMHO. Same concept with when a QB ducks at the last second to try to avoid a sack or a hit. Next to impossible for a player running full out to make a last nanosecond adjustment to his approach angle.

Matter of opinion. Take his input over a couple of others on the TSN side.

He is a significant upgrade over the TSN crew. I like Duane Forde, and Henoc is doing well, the rest of the crew struggles to get a coherent sentence out.

He has done a very good job IMO.

Hier, première partie préparatoire des Lions 3 vs Giants 14.

Voici un article du 9/08 sur Caucus football, sur cette première expérience de M. Betts avec les Lions.

Aujourd’hui à 19h, partie préparatoire Falcons vs Dolphins.
Quelle sera la performance de A. Mack? à suivre…

Agreed. He is not wishy-washy like the tsn crew. Says it like it is.

Vercheval can be wrong about that specific call but also a great commentator as well. The two aren’t incompatible.

Ça, c’est quand ils commentent les jeux. Ils passent beaucoup de temps à babiller sur des sujets qui n’ont pas de rapport avec la partie, surtout Glen Suitor.

Duane Forde is good…no argument there.
