USABomberfan Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Gonna be a close hard fought one here for sure. I'm not taking the schmoes lightly at all because that would be foolish with the talent they got. But ... We're definitely in better shape than BC at the moment and they'd better think again if they plan to use the same game plan against us that they used against them. They knew BC had no run game so they just sent the house on Reilly most of the game. With A Harris and Lapo's draw plays or RPO plays, they won't be able to do that on us. Catch em off balance with those draws, get them to crash in on A Harris and we can use the play action Darvin or C Matthews deep ball on them, or even get mid route seams to Woltairesky to catch em off guard in space. And ... I think on defense Bighill might be able to bait T Harris into a few rushed throws or a few hangers for Hecht to make a play on. I know we aren't done this week but this game is already getting me anticipating already. rebusrankin, Fred C Dobbs and the watcher 3
Noeller Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Edmonton beat BC a lot worse than we did. Definitely not as confident about next week's game as I once was. Should be *interesting*, at any rate....

Definitely not as confident about next week's game as I once was. Should be *interesting*, at any rate.... Maybe us giving them some game film on BC's offense had something to do with that? Like I said, if your offense not only has a bit of raddy OL, but also no run game or any big physical backs in the backfield, and it becomes overly reliant on an old QB who seems to mostly care about pushing the ball down field every play, that's a recipe for disaster. Edmonton keyed in on it which is why BC had another atrocious 2nd half. Even though Lapolice can drive me crazy with his game plans sometimes, I really don't see him calling that kind of game. I expect him to keep Edmonton guessing as to whether or not Harris is getting the ball, and perhaps even call in the Streveler package a few times to get them off guard. I mean, they couldn't put the Als out until late in the 4th quarter with Vernon Adams, and I'm certain our team is better than that. Geebrr and the watcher 1 1
M.O.A.B. Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Although, Leo's OL ineptness made the Esks DL looked like a monster out there, I believe that our OL will be a very good match up.
JCon Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Esks learned from us. We took a half to realize the Lions were nothing and, once we did, we buried them. It's going to be a good match-up next week. The two best teams in the CFL battling it out at Fort Hew. BigBlueFanatic, Eternal optimist, Bigblue204 and 5 others 3 5

Imo Lapo's offence is much more likely to be able to beat an aggressive defence. Bigblue204 1

Stickem Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Short week for the schmoes coming in here....We're on a bye week and there should be no excuses to go down to Maas and friends...We start slow....may I suggest we don't in this next tilt and bring it right out of the gate and set the tone....The Esks. can be had for sure...just put constant pressure on Harris till he starts making mistakes...2 pts should be ours....Sounds simple....but in this league nothing really is Edited June 22, 2019 by Stickem
Brandon Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 A bit easier to beat BC knowing that they won't run. We did not know this in week one until after the first half.
NorthernSkunk Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Are we going to get a good example of Mattys new found elusiveness this Thursday ?......... I sure hope so. It would screw with every defensive co-ordinater...
Piggy 1 Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Trevor Harris looked very good in that game. Threw some beautiful balls. Our D line will have to bring their A game. Mark H. 1

As mentioned earlier using Harris in the draw play to get the heat off him. Some QBs know how to do it without being super mobile, just like AC and Ray in their primes weren't mobile.
rebusrankin Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Game of the Week imo. I hope Lapo plans some good counters for an overaggressive D.

Honestly, I know we've had years of practice at being disappointed but let's not worry too much. We match up well against any other team in the league and finally I'm hoping that now it's the other team's turn to worry about us! NorthernSkunk and Fred C Dobbs 2

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 This is a big game for the secondary because Edmonton is a death by a thousand paper cuts style of offense, lots of screens, not much 15+ yards downfield, quite a bit different than Edmonton with Reilly. Harris will not hold the ball long if we're playing in passive coverages and worried about coming up to make tackles. Need some aggression to give the pass rush a chance to make an impact against that scheme, make the throws Harris likes more difficult and force them into a downfield passing game that he doesn't do well with. rebusrankin and Mark F 2
Jpan85 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 See how Edmonton does when they can’t run the ball.
BBlink Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Glad to hear that Kyrie is back practicing. Matthews should be back this week as well. Neufeld might be an expensive back up plan at this point (not a bad thing)
Mr. Perfect Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 As long as Gray keeps doing what he's oing, nothing against Neufeld at all, but he can take all the time he needs to rest up. Kudos to Walters for having this team in a position that despite off season losses and injury, that it's still next man up and not skip a beat. rebusrankin 1
