Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 smith looks pretty good, for first game, rookie against a tough defence. compare him to what our backup did against this defence. I have seen at least 3 rookie QBs this year who appear to be light years ahead of our 3rd year backup....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Much closer of a game then anticipated. But I suppose all of the Rider games have been. Gonna be a good second half! (Secretly cheering for the Riders so that we don't become the first team they beat at LDC lol) I think I'll cheer for the Riders in the second half as well for strategic reasons. 1. A win isn't going to change their season. 2. It brings the Esks. back down a notch closer to the Bombers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Why is the title week 5? We're 3-3... Right, and the Riders are 0-6. Well I don't know how to change it now so it'll be our secret. Riders won't be 0-6 until they lose this game. Eh? The Riders are 0-5 coming into the game against Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Nichols is playing for his job, if he doesn't increase the lead by the end of the 3rd, it's Franklin time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatty Liver Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 If Nichols can accept a secondary role I think he could have a sustained career as a back up like Tate, but probably not in Edm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourface Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 If Nichols can accept a secondary role I think he could have a sustained career as a back up like Tate, but probably not in Edm. A lot of people in Edmonton have the same opinion of Nichols and Franklin as we do of Brohm and Marve. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Bowman plays like **** in the first Q of almost every game dropping plenty of passes, by games end he's a hero due to the sheer volume thrown his way. In a balanced throwing attack with 5 or 6 opportunities his numbers wouldn't look so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 makes quick decisions, good arm, accurate passes, mobile. Disagree with those three. He really has to step into his throws to get anything on them, and good luck having room to do that consistently. Compare his throws to Willy's last night, Willy made a bunch of tough, tough throws with Picard in his lap. Smith needs to take two steps to have any hope of making those throws. His throwing motion doesn't help, big wind-up and tends to sail throws. Can't say I've seen one quick decision from Smith, he's running around like a headless chicken for the most part. rebusrankin and Mark F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sorry Duressler and Ripper......but I gotta laugh at this situation. Had hoped they could have won this but man oh man are the Riders looking bad this year. I know injuries play a big part but still.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Brett Smith has a long way to go before he can look good, but he did make a few plays. However, there is nothing he can do about that horrible throwing motion. He draws back and then flings the ball pushing forward as he does it, and that's not good.
