To be fair, even if you give him credit for engineering the drives that end with a rushing TD ... he still hasn’t put up 250 yards offense on his own and 4 scores all year.
I think realistically, expecting anything but a close game is somewhat foolish. Both teams definitely have the ability to win and the Bombers are definitely the underdog but I'm hoping we can control the line of scrimmage, win the special teams battle and snap off a couple big plays on either side of the ball to get the W.
Definitely not expecting to go in there and stomp them. They're a pretty good team. But so are the Bombers.
I think what Booch is saying is that Hughes traditionally falls off around Labour Day every single season so while he's had a stellar first half of the year, it's wait-and-see as to whether or not he'll keep it up. No disrespect to Hughes, he's a hell of a player and one heck of a sleep driver but a betting man would put his money on Hughes falling off in the second half.
I’d actually be happy with a number of the NFL receiver cuts. Michel or JWL are probably on the more realistic side of things and they could both make our offense better.
