Back 2 Back Losers @ Back 2 Back Champs - Pre-Game Thread
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It’s really strange. Idk why we wouldn’t be showing looks now and setting up twists on those looks later. Buck has shown flashes of great creativity and individual game planning. He should be able to keep defenses off balance with out sacrificing regular season games quality. It’s not even vanilla. It’s gruel. Vanillas got too much flavour for what we’ve been running. thing is a lot of the stuff we’ve been doing for years. Jet motion passing schemes demski in as rb screens etc. feels almost like plop out thinking him self. -

He was yes. He played some c in college last year too. gray is alright in pass pro. I don’t fault him for the holdings really. But he isn’t ok in run pro. He’s frequently been collapsed. Especially on the heavy set. you are right though that it’s not a one man issue by any means. And a switch would not it self cure our issues. The whole ol has struggled and we haven’t done a good job of forcing the defense to stay home with jet motion etc like in past years. Or stretched the field side line to side line with screens and the 15-20 yard out. starting on other teams doesn’t mean much. A lot of teams have shoddy ols but we are more reliant on ol play than any other. Right now almost every team has an ol that would take a job on the starting line here. if this is still a thing in 5 games we might be on qb2, and rb 3. Both backs have been taking a royal pounding. -

I’m pretty sure at this point that couture won’t play this week which means Dobson draws in. I would start gray again just for consistency with kola at c. But on short yardage I’d move gray outside and put Dobson at rg. The only way I’d go double switch and have Dobson start at guard is if we were gonna run a lot of 6 man heavy fronts. long term or even medium term I think gray is a rt though. Maybe the ol needs a bit of shaking up. Their performance hasn’t been this poor since before bond came into the roster and hardrick moved to t. -

I hope that’s it. wish Richmond was healthy. -
What we see is very much the defense prior to last year. Until jeffcoat came back any way. With him back it’s already better now. The dl will adapt to no nose. And eventually ba will be healthy. At that point our defense will be excellent.

2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

Big cultural difference between the two though. I don’t think any one would argue that cf puts out a couple toxic quotes and or events each year. Collaros would never throw his wrs under the bus for instance. -

Vaj can’t execute the rpo khari runs reliably. He just makes terrible decisions. 4 passes is kinda silly. yeah and he’s still young enough to have his best ball in front of him. It’ll be interesting to see what he nets. -
Glad the old coach is getting in finally. chip cox and suitor as an announcer? Really? Pathetic. Should be a slam dunk imo.

2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I feel like vaj is a gentle breeze from being traded and Harris being anointed the new starter. Maybe sent to edm. His last good game was week 8 of last year vs the Toronto in turmoil team. He had one really good game last year and that was vs ott. He’s still a guy stuck between being a back up and a starter imo. -

Oh no not Lofton. If that guy starts at tackle may as well sit collaros so he doesn’t miss the rest of the season. -
Plus the best release in the league. He’s the toughest qb in the league to sack. I can see pressure boiling over there though with inability to score tds and just dumb play calls at time. I think it’s a mix of talent and experience lacking from last year. I think with experience this roster will get much better. Buck has struggled play callling too. We haven’t seen any kind of rhythm from the offense yet.

Houston only got in for like one game didn’t he? -
The worst qb in the league for deep balls is he also the least clutch?

Honestly 3 man pressure is under rated too. If you have some one who can rush from the inside a lot of ols struggle more with 3 man pressure than 4 or 5. You have to communicate and switch really well. With layering rush lanes you’re less likely to get really long pockets. You don’t generally get that chance at really fast pressure but it makes long tosses harder. It also makes contain easier with out sacrificing pass rush. faj doesn’t pick up drops well. If you don’t let him scramble and hit those short timing passes at the seam he beats him self. I think jones has taken this from the bombers the last few years. We didn’t do it every snap but we dominated him with this look.

No pre season last year though. This year while teams have a lot of work to do no exceptions, the games have been really entertaining this far. If things only get better this is going to be a fantastic season.
-
I’m glad we don’t have any dummy hunters on this team. a lot of stupid trash talk this week. From owners to players just putting their foot in their mouth. Meanwhile the back to back champs are un happy with their performances despite being in beaten. It’s not hard to see why Hamilton can’t win the big games why mtl is back sliding into a dumpster fire and the elk are the core of said fire.
-
Ultimate sign of a loser. Act like you’ve won with lots of game left to play. ott is on the fringe of becoming a really good team. The typical sign of a bad team on the fringe of becoming a good team is losing close games despite playing well enough to win. The step that differentiates a good bad team from a great team is discipline. Disciplined teams find ways to win games. That’s why we beat sask and ham both back to back to go back to back.

Luck is the residue of hard work. Some pretty good nfl coach

I’d rather a guy hold 10 times out of 10 then let his man past and rail road collaros. A hold when you’re beat is pretty much a good penalty to take. that said gray is not a ground mover. He’s a very good ol with a bright future but imo he’s a rt. Not ideal as a guard. I worry if kola has to start I hope his snapping is consistent. We haven’t had issues at c in a long time. We need Dobson on the active roster imo. Our short yardage package has really struggled to get any push this year. Nealon greene 2.0 just with more hype.
-
And he’s a serious energy guy. He sets a high tone every game. im super happy he’s back. It’ll be interesting to see how the roster shakes down now. Mauro was really good and is good on teams too. And so is clements. I hope all three can be on the roster and have wilcotts Come off. But mack had a good game too.
-
Super impressed with Mauro he played smart disciplined high motor and looked really athletic. the refs blew a bunch of bad blocks to the back on bomber pass rushers who got the edge. Frankly I don’t expect better from the cfl refs any more. Ganging up in gray was kind of bs. The one call they could throw 2 or 3 of those flags on every single play of every game.
