Crazy that we have a potential starting CDN DE and I can't think of which NI he'd actually replace... Walters has done a very nice job drafting and signing Canadians
Now you're bringing back memories of Lapo/Barresi constantly calling running plays up the gut and QB draws from 2011... no thanks, we've been down that road.
I'll stick with the misdirection - screens, sweeps, shovels - that's what works in the CFL.
The first shovel pass was essentially a run play and then Nichols threw an INT and we were down two scores... even then our attack was reasonable.
I don't think Lapo intentional game planned to get pass happy - look at our TD drive - it was balanced.
In order of 'what killed us'... Lapo's game planning is kind of third priority after Nichols INTs and our crappy return game/field position
We can't deny that Nichols was completely shattered after that last INT... he needs a huge bounce back game against TO
Basically...
if Nichols doesn't float his passes on all but one drive, we win or if Nelson is returning and we get decent field position/no fumbles, we win
...no one would be talking about Lapo's one dimensional game planning
Im not piling on... but the first and last INTs by Nichols were game killers - the other fumbles were really shitty but the D bailed us out
Both Nichols airballs put us down by two scores - changed the way the game was called...
