ere, not starting him until he was a senior — is confiden

OTTAWA - Jason Maas says he was looking for a new challenge.Hell get one with the Ottawa Redblacks.The Redblacks named Maas, a former star quarterback with the Edmonton Eskimos, as their new offensive co-ordinator on Monday.Basically it was feeling like I was ready to lead an offence, said Maas. I felt like I was ready as far as being able to implement a plan, implement an offence, teach an offence and get guys together for a common goal.The 39-year-old will be tasked with fixing a struggling offence that finished last overall in scoring (15.4 points per game) and rushing (82.4 yards) and seventh in total yards (300 per game) last season. The Redblacks finished their first season in the CFL with a 2-16 record.Maas, who replaces the fired Mike Gibson, chose not to criticize last years performance, despite what the numbers show.All I know is there was great effort, a young team and those are the two things that I was excited about working with when I got here, Maas said. Im not too concerned about what they did in the past here.Maas, 39, is best known for his playing days as a quarterback with the Edmonton Eskimos where he won Grey Cups in 2003 and 2005. He spent 11 seasons in the CFL.Most recently Maas worked with the Toronto Argonauts as a quarterbacks coach and a receivers coach.One of the question marks for the Redblacks next season is what role Henry Burris will play.Maas is just a few months older than Burris and knows his body of work well, seeing as their careers overlapped for a decade.Im excited to work with Henry, Maas said. I know he can play and can play at extremely high levels still.The one thing Maas wants to see from the team next season is discipline, hard work, communication and a commitment to being prepared every single day.Im an ultra positive person, but I believe in being demanding and being a hard worker, said Maas. Those are the things that Ill be expecting from the players we coach.Maas says he wants to see the Redblacks play prepared and be an offence that can play fast.Campbell and Maas are very familiar with one another from their time in Edmonton. Campbell worked as a defensive and special teams assistant coach during part of Maas tenure with the Eskimos.We didnt really have a timeline for filling this position, but we felt this was the right fit, said Campbell. Jason is a great communicator and hes ready to hit the ground running. His own experience will be invaluable.

No NFL linebacker has a higher profile than the Green Bay star, thanks to his commercials and his flashy persona. If you barely know anything about Bobby Wagner, thats understandable, too. Hes not into snazzy, leaving that to his Legion of Boom teammates in Seattle. On Sunday in the NFC championship game, their performances will go a long way toward determining which team goes to the Super Bowl. And while Matthews may add a touch of the ostentatious, Wagner will do things far more quietly, yet just as fiercely. Indeed, he might be the least-ballyhooed member of this seasons All-Pro team. With Wags, just killer instinct, fellow All-Pro Earl Thomas said Thursday. Some guys just have that nasty streak to him, and I want another guy beside me with killer instincts. He has that, Sherm has that, Kam has that, and that fired-up passion is contagious. Essential, too, for the most feared defence in the league, one that helped the Seahawks win it all last year and has them on the verge of a repeat title — something not accomplished by anyone in a decade. But, consistent with his nature, Wagner doesnt make a big deal of it all. My job is to be in the middle of everything, said the 2012 second-round draft pick from Utah State. Also, the signal caller, making sure everybodys in the right spot, making adjustments when I need to, being as vocal as I possibly can on the field. Of course, Wagner does far more than that. Even though he missed five games with a right foot injury, he still managed at least 104 tackles — he had 140 and 119 the previous two years. When he returned in late November, the Seahawks became immovable again. They didnt allow a fourth-quarter point from Week 12 through the end of the regular season. Its hard to argue that Wagner is the fulcrum of a unit that includes fellow All-Pros Thomas at safety, Richard Sherman at cornerback, and Kam Chancellor intimidating opponents from his safety spot, and a deep, versatile front. But its not impossible to make that case. Wagner wouldnt make it, though. He takes pride in the stinginess of his defence, but sees himself as a cog, nothing more, in that frugality on the scoreboard.dddddddddddd. Thats what we do, we finish, he said. Whenever a fourth quarter comes around we understand those are when games are won. Thats when big-time players make big-time plays. And thats when the good teams show up. The Packers will show up at CenturyLink Field with a good but not great defence. Indeed, its only consistent playmaker is Matthews, who made his fifth Pro Bowl in six seasons by being a factor at outside and inside linebacker. Matthews has displayed throughout his six pro seasons he is much more than a media star capable of ripping on himself in TV ads. Hes capable of ripping apart offensive schemes, and his value in Green Bay has been increased with how co-ordinator Dom Capers used him in 2014. When Capers began moving Matthews around in the Packers alignments, it caused opponents to guess — something no offence or quarterback is comfortable with. Matthews had 6 1-2 sacks in his final four games and 11 for the season. I think if you look at the change of where we were in Week 8 and the bye week into now, and obviously, statistics will show that were moving in the right direction, Matthews said. Both individually and as a team, as a defence really. So, you know, it seems to be working in the right direction. Obviously, were winning games and Im making plays, so as long as thats happening, were doing something right. Enough right to be in their third conference title game in eight seasons, and enough to complement their high-powered offence led by All-Pro QB Aaron Rodgers. Matthews, who played for Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at Southern California — Carroll admits he misjudged Matthews skills there, not starting him until he was a senior — is confident enough to believe Green Bay can do as much shutting down on defence Sunday as can Seattle. With a defence with as many playmakers as they have, and has played as well as they have, you know obviously the onus is going to be on our defence, Matthews said. So we understand that going into it. So obviously were going to be trying our best to limit their big plays, limit the times they score in hopes that we score more.
