Well the Als were able to pull through with the big 46-19 home win against Calgary.
It's kinda funny how this game went down exactly how i thought it would, however I did not expect a 27 point differencial.
on to the Alservations...
-First thing is first congrats to Ben Cahoon on 1007 receptions in the CFL, the most all time.
-If you have never met Ben Cahoon, well your missing out on a great individual.
-If I were the referee I'd given Ben the first down on that play
-He was 100% embarrassed that they stopped the play to congratulate him.
-Cahoon said he felt some pressure because his family flew up for the occasion and didn't want them to wait another week.
-AC was happy it was he that threw to cahoon on the record breaking play, it was called a run play in the huddle.
-on to the game, 2 TDs in 33 seconds was the fastest Brian Bratton ever scored in his entire playing career
-Henry Burris look dis-interested, 4 turnovers on his own.
-I still think Burris has the goods to be a QB that can win the Grey Cup, but he'll have to put together 2 straight weeks of strong performances
-Ramon Guzman was the spark plug early on for the Als defence on the first series he stopped Joffrey Reynolds in his tracks and forced a intentional grounding penalty on Henry Burris
-Anwar Stewart was the spark plug the rest of the way, with two sacks and a forced fumble
-Billy Parker was alot stronger and was close to unbeatable this week.
-and Colt David is a great placekicker 6 for 6 on FGs, however his punting and kickoffs need alot of work.
Up next for the Als Winnipeg, Watch out, they are still alive in the play-off hunt
Sorry for the typos, it's been a long day
ReplyDeleteGreat Alservations. That was classic, classy Cahoon at his best. I was at the game and it was a pleasure watching him and the atmosphere was phenomenal. With regard to the last one about Colt David, Pat Hickey [he actually wrote an article about something other than hockey :)] reported this morning that David didn't put as much power into kickoffs and punts because "he didn't want to put the kicks in the end zone and give up field position".
ReplyDeleteThanks Eric,
ReplyDeleteWell on Kick-offs he had a good 15 plus yards to play with before he hit the endzone. On the punts, the distance wasn't the real issue It was more the hang-time. But for a CFL debut, full Props
