Looking Ahead: Winnipeg Vs BC

[Jpan85]

Receivers tend to get their yards in bunches. I bet Adams and Denmark go,through a stretch like Dressler going on now.

So what...about 8 sacks for you guys then?  Lulay doesn't need numbers, he needs 1 more point than the BB

i'd be content with 7, realistically we just need to drive the ball into medlocks range consistently and let him put up 21 points,  couple that with Nichols typical 2 TD (rush or pass) output and we will win 35-30

[do or die]

I have the greatest respect for the gems of knowledge and wisdom of the great posters, although the top-drawer fellas generally have a good grip on things and the upper-echelon guys make pretty salient points, from time to time.  

Not so hard......uh, where was I?

BC's OLine is young....and learning.  They will be a force as the season rolls on.

So what do you guys say?  Lions by 14??

Very appropriate user name.

If I were you, and knowing Lulay's injury history and our ability to get to a QB, I'd be more worried about how well you think your #3 QB can play, because if Jennings isn't good to go, there's a very real chance that Ross might have to after the 2nd or 3rd sack.

Do people forget that Denmark over his career will disappear for periods of time and then bounce back with monster games?   

yeah seriously... what the hell was that joker doing the first 5 games last season!

I do not see the potential you apparently see. It looks to be a sore spot for the BC Pussycats all season.

Now that we've determined what "great" actually means, can you all please tell me of the other receivers - who are top-drawer and who are merely upper-echelon?

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around "GOAT" now being considered a compliment, when it used to be an insult.  No one wants to be the "goat".

I hope you're right. I'll be at the game with a Lions fan, we've got a beer per sack wager for the game.

I seldom get worried about anything, let alone a football game!!

Red and White Lineman on the right.... standing and staring as his qb gets demolished....reminds me of some things our QB's  used to see in the Peg. Thankfully those days are over.

 

Re : "Goat" still sounds wierd to me as well. Brady is the goat. Huh?

Two ways to look at it I guess, being celebrated or carried to the slaughter......maybe both?

It's pretty clear that the lineman at the far right of the pic is trying to use the old Jedi mind trick, "He's not the QB you're looking for."

When I used to play sports, being the goat was akin to being the whipping boy (as in scapegoat) so I agree with how you view it, I think people are just too lazy now-a-days to puts the .'s and make it an appropriate acronym

Speaking of Lions QBs, they are only gonna dress 2 for Friday's game.

But there is a difference between the goat, and the GOAT. Both are still very valid.

I'm so glad Hall has addressed this as far as the defence goes. Part of the defender's job is to not only track the player, but also, THE BALL. What is the use of being in good position only to have the defender stand there as the receiver goes up for the ball..uncontested? Many catches, on long throws, shouldn't even be caught, but rather knocked down or intercepted. How many times have you seen the ball just up there for grabs, but the only man making a play on the ball is the receiver. Drives me nuts.

 Learn to play the man, and look for the damned ball.

Yeah, because it affects memory and.....something else...

[Stickem]

IF the Leo's O Line plays like they did last game, they'll be replacing another qb....Lulay isn't the most sound qb. in the league physically and if our hungry D line guys get by a few of their pylons acting as o line guys, look out Lulay...I think we take this one in lotus land.

yup. I think our DB's are pretty solid at this aspect for the most part.  hands up, making plays on the ball usually.. not just running with the REC as he makes a catch... then we got guys like Heath and Leggett who are hyper-active tracking the ball..  they make a case for being as good as when we had Hill and co.  (almost..  not quite there yet)

I'm expecting 3 changes this week.

Thorpe, Kankolongo & Fogg for Washington, Briggs & one of Carmichael/Walker. I expect Walker to go PR. 

And will probably see one player cut.

I hope they replay the argo/bomber game in the next few days,  I'd like to watch a little closer but I thought Walker did pretty decent out there, and was noticeable in a good way (unlike Carmichael in the first few games constantly getting picked on), but if what I remember is right I'd go with Walker over Carmichael if it was 1 or the other
