Prediction for tnite, bowman has a big game.

hate those. Bryant and foketi are scratches.

Listening to randy ambrosie on the ob pre game, I havent had this good a feeling and impression of a cfl leader out side of cohon.

this is always what I do. some times if you got matty and a good partner tv is ok. its all too seldom that happens though.

so $^&*ing true. 😝

No doubt its worse. - rob bagg and henoc.

for me the real start to summer is hearing bob irving announce the first regular season TD for the bombers. Here is hoping the boys in blue come out flying and play hard whistle to whistle and give the moes a great fight.

agree on both the first points. But even at WR they just cut 2 starters. I cant see them being better at Qb ol or wr in any way this year.

I would say glenn might for his career be even bettern then 500, but much worse when you really need a win. For my money, the most important factors in team success are, qbs (elite starter and depth) both trenches, then canadian talent. As important as QBs are, the value of keeping yours safe and giving him time while limiting the other teams QBs time and getting hits on him can not be under stated. And yet I would bet that the top wrs make more money then the top o and D linemen.

he was. I dont think he was the only one either.

it is the mans obligation

nope certainly didnt. (doesnt count unless we win other wise its just a nightmare/blackout)

strevelation is indeed fantastic. 🤣

a sick part of me has always wanted to see a bombers riders grey cup.

I think people (probably my self included) are writing off bc as buono is perceived to have one foot out the door.

🤦‍♂️ No i watched him play. And watched him handled again and again. what do you watch when you watch games? the ball? I went back and dug through a clip to break down the difference in detail for you. Did you actually read any of the comment or just knee jerk react because it didnt mesh with your perception of reality? Skewed lol. seriously go watch. I included the second clip to show good pass rushing. 🙄

have you watched him play? he cant independently rush the passer or play the run vs his own blocker. Not just lack of moves and know how, he cant beat average tackles with sheer athleticism over and over and over again. Corney came in with a great lack of technique, but the ability to occasionally beat his man with sheer quickness and strength. He also came with the ability to get in on the back end of plays with sheer athletic ability even after being beaten during the early play by his OL. Boatengs few successes comes from abject poor play, or having an opening created for him. And even those are few and far between. Corney is now showing the ability to beat tackles regularly with technique as well. Both are high motor guys. the difference athletically is like that of jamie stoddard and petermann. Corneys ability to bull rush tackles alone is enough to keep him in the league. Boateng isnt effective at all in a bull rush and to harness speed rushes requires technique, or a lot of tactics in designed plays. They went to boateng because they had no option in edm. They stuck with him 1 because of his passport, 2 because of his motor and 3 hes the right kind of football player. He is the end version of early jake thomas. Look back at some high lights here. Play one, wilder literally shoves him past the blocking tackle. Play two the bc Offense is doing two different things. Either it was supposed to be a read option, the play side tackle skips to the second level leaving him un blocked. Boateng goes inside, the ball should be pulled and taken around the end. But the qb rb positioning is more of a collision. And he goes eh you take the hit. Its possible the play was not a read option and the tackle had the play wrong. The next play, the rb lumabala 46 is left to block boateng alone, but he stays soo far inside behind the tackle he barely puts a hand on boateng as he goes past. When teams strategize to slide the line away from you and chip you with a FB its a bad sign. The next play is a Ol switch where the second ol doesnt pick him up. The play after is all hustle. The ol beats him keeps him out side gets behind the play. At this point the qb needs to feel the pressure and take action, but credit to his hustle. The running plays, he is disciplined in waiting and making a read on the run. But if that hole is filled by the Lber its a 5-6 yard gain. Slow reacting once his read is made and only gets an arm on the back. Next play same thing. Slow to fill the hole, tackling with an arm from the side instead of no gain its a 5-6 yard gain. Good discipline, good read, slow reaction puts him in a bad position left with an arm tackle. 3rd running play, gets out side the tackle, beats him clean loops back in side still coming from the side. Rather then going for a good from tackle like a hawk tackle, or a profile tackle he goes high and clotheslines the rb. I believe he was penalized on that play, if not its a bad miss. But if you try n tackle one of the bigger backs in the league, or even a good power smaller back like that they will bounce off you and romp down field. The next play is the best of so far. He plays the position well. Waits, but is slow getting out of his squat stop he gets his hands up which is smart and gets the tip which is picked. Against a low mobility passer this works. If its any of the mid tier or above qbs though they pump him or jab step and walk around him. (its our ole friend drew shell shock willy who doesnt even see boateng right in front of him. poor willy) Luck is the residue of hard work. Boateng works hard. Plenty of young guys end up in positions to make plays based on poor execution by the other team and dont. Im a firm believer the difference is preparation and hard work. Hes quick. But not especially quick for his size. He isnt over powering with strength by any means. The type of guy you love to have on your team but do not want starting. And yeah, would not have been top 10 dl for us in tc. No other team in the league would have him starting. Not every thing (obviously) correlates from american football to canadian. Despite the yard off the line, pass rushing has more similarities then most. The difference between high level DL and average ones, is use of their hands. Using the hands to fight off the OL, driving forward while maintaining the gap between your body (the end) and the tackle then using a move in that gap to create an angle to make a play in the back field. When an OL constantly has his hand under the pads of a DL, using leverage maintaining his angle and pushing the DL out side the tackle is winning. If you watch him, you see boateng controlled a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5qn1X6tUuM

🤣 no. he isnt as good as corney was in year 1.

And yet others excelled in their first year. streveler isnt flutie. or really similar even.

Ob was saying against bc the bombers intended to carry a 7th ol. I can see it if we carry an NI. It could be a contingency plan in case we arent able to beat edm pressure straight up to buy streveler time.

His chop stepping, and bouncing is a result of a moving / shrinking pocket. Because he played out of a full shot gun, you dont take normal steps back as you do under center or in the pistol. It keeps his base together, under him and predictable. His foot speed and release is at a blinding level where he doesnt need to hold in one spot long before he goes from 0 to throw. He just needs to aim his shoulders/hips and fling it. Its a good response to pressure, read changing and pocket movement. It does telegraph when he is running to run and running to throw though. But qbs have such an advantage in running and he has such speed that he can still hit the holes even if the D knows he will run. Its an example of good athletic footwork out of a shotgun formation in a situation where you are facing regular pressure. Some of the times he starts out with good protection but seems to be waiting on wrs to get open.

they are probably getting puffed up because rider fans click en mass. Give them some thing they like and the clicks soar. Least thats what I hope it is. I really hope the people who cover football coast to coast arent that dead between the ears.

little tall isnt he

Pre mos et al i would agree. We tried a lot of vaunted college spread offense guys who relied on timing, ball placement and defensive miss matches to succeed. In the walters mos era I think our style has been athletic guys with strong arms. More physical attributes then experience.

ehh id take weight and frame over height. Height is great for playing passing lanes. Reach is great in general. wing span and low center of gravity is better then height specifically. You dont see a ton of shade over 6 foot rush ends though. I think youre right actually. Loffler pre ncaa injury and coming up to the cis, would have had good nfl interest though.
