Week Of: Bombers @ Argos

[Booch]

You can be a deep threat from anywhere..a lot of times more success with deep ball originates from receiver coming out of the slot position of field.

Milt was a SB and he had lots of deep success, tho he did a lot of intermediate crossers as well...

[Booch]

Yeah exactly.. ibl wouldn't put much into the stated positions on the depth charts..if you watch any game I bet Adam's first one takes as many reps coming from the slot or the number 2 spot as he does outside..same with others.

[17to85]

Guys like Adams and Matthew's could be really good slot guys cause how do you stop a well run slant pattern by a guy that tall?

[Floyd]

the problem is that Lapo Calls hooks and curls not so much slants...

Speaks to depth when you can replace an Adam's with a Matthew's...and in all honesty could be an improvement..no omock on Adam's as he balls it out. But Matthew's if he is dialed in brings more to table 

If Matthew's replaces Adam's.. the new db basically takes Humes DI spot as he slides into Alexander's starting role..I can see us putting Bailey where Walker was as a DI

Be a perfect game to do this and see what he brings..especially with Kongbo on roster

And dont be fooled in thinking he is a DE only due to his size..you think Willie is a freak athlete..Kongbo is probably freakier.. and talking with some peeps I know he wont be out of place rapping in at Will.. he is quick enough and actually has cover skills..his basketball skills allow his quick feet and ability to have them loose hips to turn an go with a reciever/running back

Adams blocking down field will be hard to replace.

True, but they gotta want to play through contact too.

Would way rather see Matthews and Adams as our deep threats and Woli on the inside...

dare to dream

Yeah Woli could be a Jason Clermont type of guy at slot, but that’s also a lot of wasted money on Matthews or Adams If one of them is at the wide side receiver.

I think an argument could be made that they are probably one of the top three teams in Ontario.

The university teams might have something to say about that

Teams have been using that wide side receiver to attack defenses this year. Have been lining up there best receiver out there to create a great match up for them. Good example was Walker last time Bombers face the Argos he lined up on the wide side for a fair number of snaps.

Not sure using what the Argos are doing as an example to be followed....

Walker did go for almost 200 yards in that game.

Worked in that game.  They moved Walker around quite a bit, and looked for him all nite.

[17to85]

After the game was out of hand and the bombers took the foot off the gas...

Kenny Walker had bad hands going back to his college days, I hope he doesn't get back in the lineup, that stuff is a coach killer

[Mark H.]

My prediction: they’ll minimize mistakes on O and connect on a couple of explosion plays.  The only way this a blowout is if the D and STs contribute points or red zone field position.

Message clearly sent to Walker, he was cut and placed back on the PR for his performance against the Ti-Cats.

My question about Collaros and the Argos. Why not just go out and sign Kevin Glenn if you’re looking for a vet?

 

I bet kg would produce better than Zach ..

He has said no to TiCats so I assume he would not got to Argos.

I think he said no because of $$ but I could be wrong? 

[JCon]

Someone let the Argos know that this isn't flag football.

Harris untouched. So much for Harris' lack of speed

[kelownabomberfan]

my lock of the week is safe again!

It would seem ball security is more of an issue than his speed, this season.

Occasional fumbles are gonna happen to running backs, particularly when they are fighting for extra yards. We will live with it. Thank God for Harris- without him this edition would look even worse than they do.
