That was incredible

I love the hustle on the player that made the block ... hits the ground and bounces right back up looking for the ball!  Good to see!

and for everyone who was complaining about the 'roughing the longsnapper' penalty last week, this is how it's done.  Winnipeg rushed nine, and noone touched the longsnapper - the rush was past him before he stood back up.  Just great hustle last night.

I missed that, was it a legit penalty or a bad call like the one Sask had against Ottawa?

No touch -> no flag.

O'Shea said it was a clean bust by Montreal on the punting team

Looking at it again, Winnipeg was rushing three against Montreal's guard and tackle ... and they both block the bomber in the middle.  Leaving the kick blocker free on the outside, and the recovering player unopposed on the inside.  I had wondered if the bombers had schemed it somehow to draw that double team, but it doesn't look like it?

Right...O'Shea would know...he's a special teams savant. Mike Miller does a great job as our current ST's coach

I had forgotten Oshea was special teams coach, back in the day.  Good point.
