Booch

Wonder if Roh is out for a bit..and if they are comfortable starting Kongbo and Willie with Panzer as the rotation...though I'd love to see me some McAllister back here..he impressed and is legit just wasnt gonna unseat The Jeff's or Roh outta camp..Kongbo..Willie and McAllister would be a wicked athletic combo..

The fact that a team didnt even want to kick to our guys is a testament to how good our ST are

If theres one thing teammates and opponents say about Nichols is his toughness and leadership..

Hey if we can win with Nichols dink and dunking it..well we can with Strevler..and probably better seeing as the times Nichols takes the sack..or tosses it away Strevler is gonna run

We go with Strev..with reps and games under his belt..he gets better. if he has to finish the season , at worst I see him going 4-5 and that puts us at 11-7..but once he gets adjusted can see him going 5-4 or better..

They had me in a fog on valium I think to do mine..I dont even remember the setting it back..but was told the hospital staff was scared I was gonna throw em around as I was in severe discomfort and very agitated...apparently took 5 people to get it back..though mine was popped completely out

Seen that too..but i doubt it was dislocated when he was coming off field..from experience he wouldn't have been walking off field like that all up right and not really wincing. He would have actually prob stayed on the field..at best on one knee hunched over..in utter discomfort..he may have had it separate a bit when Assbag Lemon landed on him..but it was in place already when he left field. That being said when mine popped out it was immobile with arm pinned to stomach for pretty much 6 weeks..then you see how it is and start rehab..could be a 10 week process if it was dislocated...partilal or slight separation.. all depends on the player but I'd say 2..3..weeks being realistic

Strev's INT was a tip..on an I'll advised throw..and chalk that up as a learning experience..which he will as he is a smart guy...seen that a million times with inexperienced QB's..guarantee next time he puts his head down and barrels forward for positive yards.. Positive of it tho..and I have noticed this before with him that when he is scampering around and looking like he is gonna run..he is still scanning down field for an open guy..once our receivers realize this they will be coming back to the ball..Thats what makes me think of younf Dunnigan when I watch him..and he did that a lot in college...they are used to Nichols style and if he looks to run..he is all run..or hook sliding...and Lucky was there for the pass open as open can be..just a nice football play by BC..hey that happens in games from time to time as the other team is trying too

Tell you one thing..our young depth is pretty damn good..and gonna get better. Kongbo is gonna be a beast Willie 2.0..he already is having an impact..Ol Jake better buy him some wobbly pops as his sacks where a direct result of Kongbo's pressures and attention they need to show him..scary part he is just learning this CFL game and his opponents.. and what've better mentor to have the Jefferson. Richardson too..still learning but super disruptive.. Other than the one sack Eli whiffed on when he was on the edge he showed brute power and mean streak on his other reps..and high energy too..guy is gonna be a ass flattener for us. What really shocked me tho was Hansen off the edge..where did that tenacity and over powering skill come from..blew me away..if they keep working him in practice there he can rotate in again in a pinch.. dude was a beast

Exactly...we know the Schmoes are gonna stack the box..prob have any where from 5-8 guys in the box and bring the heat..make Strev beat them with his arm while trying to neutralize Harris. How we combat that is lots of misdirection..moving the pocket..and roll outs..that's how u spread that scheme and nullify their pass rush..they wont ignore it or they will get burned...a healthy mix of that..some in the pocket work and use and then threat of wildcat..will leave room for a lot of options. With Strev in there just run an offence with no gimmicks..they aren't needed with a Srrev style QB..his freaky ability and knack for getting yards himself is gimmick enough.

That is a 3 yr old report..tho some still holds true..but guy can throw.. over 4300 yards in his senior season. He just needs a playbook with more than 5 plays like he has been force fed this year...and the game plan needs to be tailored to him. With his run threat we need to move the pocket..use roll outs and varied misdirection and motion plays...if he is bootlegging and rolling out he will gouge teams big time because the cone up too soon and ge has guys left open..they hand back too long he will get huge gains. A game plan tailored for him...frst team reps all week...good oline and his run ability..he will do ok..as long as he doesnt try to be a hero and run ball controlled offense..he can win Dont try to make him play a style that's not him..thats my one fear with cutesy lapo..his thinking he gonna fool teams.

Yeah give Streveler a game plan with the actual play book and he can do the exact same ball control offence Nichols does. If anything probably a bit more diversified and allowing Harris more space. Lapo has to throw out the trickery and gimmick **** and let the play makers do their thing. With Strev in now..and using multiple motion and misdirection stuff teams wont know what to key on or who to focus on and will open up a lot of options. Teams are gonna start cheating in and then we can hit them with the deep shots down the field. This idea Strevler cant throw is off base..he just needs repetition and plays..with designed routes to actually get the ball to allow him to progress..not the stuff Lapo has him running Lapos stupidly timed change of pace thing there when the offence was humming was the stupidest thing done all year..what he was trying to accomplish other than kill momentum was baffling

BEST description ever

thats was when he had 3 legit threats at receiver to throw to...so you had to pick your poison in coverage...he doesn't have that now...we pay a lil extra attention to Burnham...have the D-line keep Reilly unsettled and pop him every chance they get..I see us strolling to an easy win to be honest

Most likely if Eli turns into the bonafide starter he should be based on his college career, be a good bet that he takes over in the middle and Couture becomes the extra guy again..Especially if Desjarlais keeps progressing and for 2020 we could see a young interior of Desjarlais and Gray flanking whoever is the better of Eli and Couture at center...and the other being the 6th..pretty good young group to move forward with and still a lot of upside even though they are handling things just fine now..so future looks really good. Not sure of Neufelds contract status and if he signed into 2020 but I can honestly see him traded/dropped in off-season...if not even traded this year for draft pick for 2020...makes fiscal sense to roll with the young guys at cheaper cost now to allow signing/retaining other talent with Neuf's $$ and draft and develop another young O-line man and keep that pipeline flowing...not having to bring in free agent lineman at big cost, and have the ability to have good talent at entry level deals mixed in with a vet salary and recycling that process is very beneficial for our SMS

He actually asked to do that..wanted more snaps as he wasnt getting any as backup and team took advantage of his skill set as ball carrier. Would love to see on one of those wildcat formations they hit him an a quick slant or crosser in full gallop..he'd raise some serious havoc in second level with full head of steam. I hope they also incorporate Janarius Grant into the mix..hes made plays out of the wildcat too in college..completed some passes too..hes a lefty I believe as well

What I like about Strevler is he likes to push the ball downfield..he might not progress through all his reads but he immediately goes to the money makers and if not there he takes off as opposed to the check down..accomplishes the same end result in effect..with less wear on Harris in the process. Ala a young Dunnigan..

That was a point I was trying to make as well in a different thread..a play may call for a timing throw to a spot on field..and if a receiver muffs his route..the qb ends up looking bad. Not sure if people know or are aware of how some routes are drawn up but vcd there are several benchmarks used on the field that a play is designed for..and sometimes the slightest of things can mess it all up... Just like too once a QB and a receiver have that mental connection then it's easier to throw a guy open or adlib on the play. The one long td to Demski was an example of it when Demski pushed his defender toward side line and made subtle shift down between hashes..that was not the intended design..but Nichols was in Demskis head space and seen what he was doing and threw it to a spot that only Demski could get to it..

Tougher for tackles...the first step and the angles and gap responsibilities are way different.. have to be a lot quicker and have more finesse and technical skills cause you cant get your mitts on a guy right off the snap

The line play is a fairly significant adjustment..especially with hand fighting and being used to a guy right on u..as apposed to that yard off..seems like an insignificant thing but its not

If eli dresses he will be in on short yardage..I sure he up to game speed and knows his position requirements now. Even in camp he showed why he was regarded as one of the top centers in the NCAA..just was a bit rusty and aerobically not where he should be..and also was his first time playing Canadian ball so had to learn the technique for that..

No loss..never even noticed him when dressed. Now that Kongbo is back this was inevitable

who dat??

I expect Speller will play, and if not start will be the 6th...it's not like he was knocked out of the game..he came in for short yardage and as well as the final drive Seeing as Rios apparently practiced he may be pulled off the 6 game if he already hasn't been...if him and Humes aren't able to go..then it's Mike Jones I would think

NO...cause Nichols has shown..repeatedly he can do more than check down....and push the ball vertically...any QB at the pro level can...or should be able to or they have no reason to be a pro He's shown it this year...had one bad game in Hamilton...and Lapo has now turtled....
