If you do then you have to start with some one like tj rubely

We dont have any thing close to a TE on the roster. You know the thing about an offence with no long routes to stretch the field? The D creeps up and takes quick passes away. Its easy to say you need to get rid of the ball faster but when your looking at sub 3 seconds before the D is on you and the OL being pushed back with the pocket collapsing right on the snap you often cant get it away fast enough. When you run a possession passing offense designed to run the field in 10+ plays you need strong consistant protection. Other wise you end up with a short gain on first and pressure on 2nd and your punting. Willys release is better then average, and thats not some thing you change in a pro qb. We have tons of talent at WR. Thats not the problem. They are one game up on us, very nearly lost to the riders, and us. They arent a team to be imitated. Not to mention they have lived off the big passing play. They have done worse with running the ball and time of possession then we have this year. Their OL may not be made up of stars, but its played very well and protected Reilly exceptionally well this year.

The starting job / the game will be up for grabs tnite. If we manage to win it probably wont be a 1 dimensional win but this is what matt nichols needs to get and to do in order to win imop. Needs to do: -Get rid of the ball quickly. When hes playing well his mechanics are consistant and easy. When hes forcing you see him short arm balls, drop his hand to his belt and throw from with a wind mill wind up, and he doesnt follow through with his motion. -Make good decisions. Hes prone to the gun slinging mentality. Its a double edged sword, he's got to make the right reads go through his progression and protect the ball. -Convert. In the red zone, and on 2nd down. He doesnt have to light the world on fire but he's gotta keep the D off the field and medlock too. What he needs: -Some of the good strategy and tactics we saw from plop in hammer. Rolls, shovel passes, slide protection, moving the pocket, runs off tackle and any thing but up the gut. -A good game from the OL. We've given up the most sacks in the league so far this year, but edmonton has the fewest sacks on D. A good game up front to buy nichols some time, and let us pound the ball with harris would be huge. Itd allow us to set up play action, and keep pressure off him better. -The D to make plays. Our D has given up yards like crazy this year, and we've given up a lot of points. But we lead the league in forced fumbles, picks, and are mid way up on pass deflections. The eskes dont run the ball too well. If they beat us again itll be with the big passing plays. Our secondary is banged up, but we still have some play makers back there.

lolno.

bond. Idc i do what i want im a monstar.

no kidding. How could any one look at that situation and think he'd be the one shaken loose xD. Hank could be in blue by LD if things go a certain way.

wally had agreed to a deal with waggoner to play saftey before his papers came through. Loffler didnt look out of place in his snaps there last game at all. It takes more speed and explosiveness to be a man in the box blitzing then deep cover. Thats more about read, discipline, and football IQ.

the vicious beating he has taken over his time here has more then earned him his cash.

DBs allways take some time, unless your names juran bolden. Some shuffling with these guys but i wouldnt be too quick to send any of them straight home.

say what? harris is an excellent blocking back and probably has the best tool kit of any back in the league that, his mixed ability to run and pass catching out of the back field. Gotta stop making stuff up and claiming it as fact.

blue jays game!

I dont think any excuse will save mos if we miss the play offs this year. I dont think he gets canned before LD.

really liked what hubbard has brought, especially on teams. Mayo has looked good in limited action but understand that move. Getting awful tired of JFG being run out there to do nothing. The secondary is beat up. Atleast we get a look at loffler.

edm let go of damon allen, matt dunigan and more, do you think they regretted it through all those championships? Calgary didnt retain flutie, garcia and hank and kept it going. That was in pre cap era. Teams cant afford to keep a premiere back up qb any more. should tell that to chicago cubs fans.

he left as a fa after narrowly missing out on leading the league in rushing last year. The problem isnt with harris. How durp does one have to be to see a rb getting hit in the back field every other play to say hey that rb isnt good enough?

later in the years it was average or worse. But not in the first hand full of his best years. When dave mudge was the best ol in the league the ol was a strength of the team. Your missing the point. If willy threw 3 tds and 2 picks every game we'd only win with a much better team around him. 2:1 was the gold standard 1:1 has never been a good way to keep your job.

He did, but he didnt do that alone. He did it with the best OL this team has fielded in some 25 years, the best rb and wr in history. 29 pics isnt ok. Thats pretty much guaranteeing you average 2 turn overs a game. During his prime years he averaged over 2 pics per 3 tds. For his career almost 3/4 of a pick per td. Henry burris has a considerably better td/int ratio. You only win with a great team around you when your tossin that many balls to the D.

and his first.

thats true. All though harris cant play that style. We keep trying to chip block with tiny wr's and run junk that wouldnt work with any one less then messam, nik lewis and a couple others in the league.

QFT. half the tsn group is just awful. When jock strap is in the middle to top half you know things are bad.

mcduffies hands havent proven to be nearly secure enough to trust in the back field as of yet. Running dressler out of the back field with an injury isnt a great idea either. Ottawa is a successful offense. people know this, they have tons of wrs. Teams will respect what they show till its shown that you dont need to. We are not in the at situation. What we use has to work and work well and it will still take teams a while to respect it if it does. Putting another man in the back field and one that cant block will just mean another defender spying or rushing the back field.

generalities and proof less anecdotes dont prove any thing. Willy has had more game winning single plays / drives then losing. Willy has been good at protecting the ball he and the offense has been ineffective through out games and failed to consistently put up drives and points through out the game. Glenn had a mixed bag. he won some games and lost some games. People just have an easier time remembering the bad from an era. Khari gets this great rose colored glasses treatment despite throwing a TON of pics every year.

we dont have a legit 2nd threat at rb or a strong blocker on the roster to make that work. We cant dress flanders as we are allready spread thin with injuries.

pretty much. All though we did see some flashes of better adjustments and planning against hammer, over all the offense doesnt do any thing to keep the D honest. If we mixed in pump and goes, play action boots, did runs more then up the gut, some shovel itd go a long long ways. Nichols is certainly more the type that will take shots but is also more prone to turn overs. And a qb working against the system seldom works.

no not really. Thats old henry burris. Neither is great at coming up with the game winning score, but they arent the guy that tosses the game away in one play.
