Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The stamps used to slap us around like younger brothers for a good chunk of mos early term. Even after we got decent. I’m fond of Scott cloman hands of stone feel like we’ve had a few great ones like that. Incompleterson is the goat imo -

If you feel better the last year and a half I played junior we won 1 game. When I started ast coaching I went to a ton of high end programs and coaching clinics in the us. We won 5 games that year and people acted like we were the pats lol. My last year the qbing was the worst at that level ever. Most hs juniors would’ve been an upgrade. Winner here -

The difference between people who know how to watch a game to understand what’s happening, and regular viewing is gigantic. Most people try to follow the ball and miss 90% of the play. Even if you know the X’s and O’s, relative position play etc if you’ve never been taught how to watch film you see a different game. On top of that you have things like understanding positions from a competitive stand point. This is where observations like tipping plays, kick stepping too far too fast etc come in. You also have understanding from the x/o level you get the difference between Dbs coming over to try and make up plays vs being beaten. Football has the most strategic nuance of any main stream sport. A little bit of knowledge goes soo far. Guys like mike booch jbr and a couple others clearly have high level understanding of these various areas. Some people don’t like what they hear because it doesn’t match what they see and they can’t counter the points on merit so they attack the posters. And when I see posters attacking those people it just tells me all I need to know about those posters. They love the bandy about not a real fans, or hot hand fallacy etc. as if what happened here 4 and 5 years ago is more important than what we see on the field today. Maybe Pepperidge farms is ed tait! 🤣 Wheatfall sure looked like a beast in a few catches last week. If Schoen is healthy he should have a good chance to shine. -

He’s the most useful of hey two. Primarily playing an intermediate zone reading the qb and flowing to the ball away from ol -

+ Thomas and neuf. Not sure kyrie or Zach still has it, kola never had it to lose. Only as naturalized imp in very limited situations with well curated usage. Which is hard to do, and you can’t have two. It’s like having Thomas and karamoko on the field at the same time. You instantly give up soo much advantage it’s a miracle to over come. -

Either way I think this bc game will speak volumes as to the nature of the problem, and if we have the will power to fix it. I think our decisions are making the problems worse. I don’t think injuries are our biggest issue. I feel like we tend to play bc well especially at home the one really ugly loss last year side. We’ve had an ugly year so I don’t expect them to play down to bc or be taken by surprise. I expect us to easily have the best game of our early season this week. -

I don’t think so. I also don’t think our chances of being above 500 any time soon is good. I’ve been wondering that about young rookies in camp for a while here. -

Honestly I hope that’s the case. If it is and we keep losing the change happens and comes down from on high. I worry Walter’s is mainly on the same page and it’s gonna be a long hard road to change. -

If we did that faked the draw and had him toss one deep our wr would be wide open. -

Yeah, bit of protection improvement for sure. It seems like buck is waiting for our current stuff to work in order to progress, but it isn’t just gonna start working. He’s got to create the success and use schemes and guys not wait to counter. He’s being too tentative like a bad amateur fighter. Waiting soo long to land the knock out counter that he loses the fight. We’ve used some better plays but way too infrequently, and not when we need it. As long as Brady is out first down should either have demski motioning or in the back field, both qbs, or a good timing hot route queued up. And we need to go hurry up after converting with Strevy, who needs to throw the ball. Especially when he comes on in 2nd and one or short. -

I get that, and I’m a certainly one who is excited by elite athletic prospects like Adams. We’ve seen some not pan out like Barrett last year. I think with the ratio you always fill out the roster with high effort low athleticism character guys who may have a great skill, so I don’t believe in aiming for those guys mostly. At the same time, I always watch the border line size guys especially at wr. If you’re 5’11/6’0 190 ish. You know they have to be far more skilled to get the same attention as the smaller fast twitch guys or the big ass target wrs. -

Classic matty. I love the guy but he’s fried lol. The beauty of football is you can actually do a lot. Roll out, boot leg, slide protection, play 6 ol and or two backs/wr to have an extra blocker on each side, pinch the ol to reduce gaps, use passing concepts that have blitz busters, are easier and faster to read, generally better first down play calls too. We aren’t committed or productive enough with the run on first down, and we need for Collaros not to be in 2nd and long a lot or throwing on first and ten. So use pre snap motion and run the ball with Demski/strevy more and more one/two step drop timing routes. -

I get what you’re saying. But it’s the opposite for me. Our team wasn’t young in 19, but if that’s the start of our rosters success that’s 5 years. How often do you continue to dominate when your best/core players are mostly the same after all that time? We’ve gained schoen and traded Harris for Brady but over all we’ve lost far more talent than we added from that roster. Teams are always improving every year. You have to evoke and improve or you fall behind. Honestly it’s amazing how long we continued to play at a high level while losing more talent than we added year on year. Totally. at some point as you go up the ladder though, some one has to be the boss and make the hard decisions. Right now it doesn’t seem like we have that. With out the counter balance you have a Jeff reinbold team. -

Not surprised. At all. Top to bottom the club seems to think our culture, which isn’t nearly what it used to be clearly, is enough to propel us back to the grey cup. That and our old beat up has beens. Couple posters on here remind me why the fb bomber groups aren’t worth any time. I was talking to a friend in the states who coaches hs and does YT football videos about modern wr releases/ rb and pass rush first steps/moves after which I went to my feed and saw that posts legit arguing if Harris would/should start this week and that our injuries have nothing to do with age practice or tc. A lot of casual fans tend to fall back on grasping at a few straws when teams struggle. So and so has lost a step, qb holding the ball, just need an additional star etc. When they are soo loud and telling you, Brady is too slow, But can’t evaluate a rb, understand any of the scheme or how the other team tried to limit that position, It’s like a flock of geese honking angrily at cars in the road. -

Hope that’s accurate. It’s on life support. Especially since tsn1290 shut down, bob retired and ed came to work directly for the blue. -

Agree. Our teams play right now isn’t overly the fault of the players on the field. We could use a couple guys getting healthy, we are short handed and can’t rotate teams guys very well, but mainly our struggles comes down to tackling which is a coaching/discipline thing and punting. Globals aren’t cheap after their first deal any more. -

That does look really cool great to see some of that trickle down from the nfl. I’d love it if we could customize that stuff. Like I don’t need the name tags but the other stuff is sweet. I’d also kill for wide field angles like the teams get for film study. You’re right though, 0% confidence they pull it off. -
