This was new to me
I have been openly critical of rookie head coach Mike Kelly for some of the things that he has done this year on and off the field,but I’ll give him credit for one thing:
he allowed an assistant, Manny Matsakis,
to take over the offensive play-callingand the team has a record of 2-2 since
the move, compared to 3-6 before that.The team has a record of 4-5 with Bishop starting.
PERRY’S POWER RANKINGS:
(1) Montreal:Didn’t dominate the Argos the way they dominated the Ticats
the game before, but did enough to win, in particular on defence.(2) Calgary:
Defence played outstanding to bail out the offence.
Stamps are 5-1 in last six games and 4-1 since Labour Day.
Imagine how dynamic the team would be
if the offence found its stride again.(3) Saskatchewan:
Offence fell apart in the loss to the Lions
and defence failed to prevent the final drive
that led to the winning field goal.(4)
B.C. Give the team credit for a
gusty effort against the Roughriders.The defence really did the job in this one,
along with Pierce’s gritty play.(5) Hamilton:
Hung tough against Calgary
and with a little luck might have pulled off the upset.
(6) Winnipeg:
A nice little two-game win streak for the Bombers.
(7) Edmonton:
This team clearly has some offensive issues,
not to mention some defensive problems caused by injuries.(8) Toronto:
There is little hope for this team.
While the defence continues to play its heart out,
the offence has not made any strides all seasonunder rookie head coach Bart Andrus.
A recap of the bonehead moves by the bonehead in Winnipeg.
