Fair enough. I remember the final home game as being particularly brutal in terms of protection. We had really good seats & I was able to watch the OL closely.
Hebert was a hard-hitting safety whose coverage weren't always great, he had undisciplined tendencies but often generated turnovers.
Walls was a fundamentally sound strong side DE who was disciplined and always kept contain very well.
A hybrid of the two would be - interesting
After watching Reilly shred the Argos vertically, I think the Esks would have to take the night off and even then the Riders would probably still lose.
Willy may be a lot of things, but injury prone is not one of them. There isn't a QB in the league who wouldn't have missed time playing for the Bombers last year.
Football will always come down to the big plays, which more often than not are turnovers. Of course you can't always rely on turnovers but maybe next game Dressler goes deep or ST makes a few big plays. IMO it doesn't matter where your big plays are coming from - you have to have playmakers and disrupters in every phase of the game. I think they call that football...been awhile since we had it consistently
I'm not sure we need too worry to much about a defense figuring Nicholls out. Sure they have three games worth of film and some time to break it down, but he and the coaches also have time to tweak the attack.
