That’s where he took most of his snaps last week and he did very very well

wow, did not realize this. good to hear

[HardCoreBlue]

Time for ST's to help out again. Give some cushion for CS as he settles in.

pretty sure that this will be the game where we might see some ST trickery...also expect to see some brand new formations on offence that will throw Edm off...like has been said in media...I bet we expand on the playbook as opposed to pare it down somewhat

I'm pretty sure on his 1st snap, he got a sack and a FF.  Had another one soon after, but it was negated by penalty, I believe.

Defense needs a big game, too. Getting to Harris and/or forcing a turnover early in the game on the road would be huge.

With Streveler.....the opportunity is certainly there.   Chris brings some things athletically....that Nichols could only dream of.   This upcoming game fascinates me.

[Mr Dee]

I want the Bombers to be in attack mode,

both on Offence, and Defence.

[do or die]

Yup, don't want us to go down in a flurry of soft zone and 5 yard passes....

Yup. Go all in. If it blows up, it blows up. I'd rather that than watch a frustrating game of playing not to lose.

[Floyd]

Lapo always tries to stretch the field early... we only have to worry about him in the second half - he'll have a nice couple series waiting for Streveler

If only halftime was 3 days long, Lapo would be a world class OC

That would make a lot of sense, but I really don't trust Lapolice anymore. Guy gets in his own way so so many times. I really hope they let Streveler be a QB, the guy can pass, don't shoe horn him into being a glorified running back, that's all I ask. 

[Jpan85]

Wonder if Edmonton sits back in coverage with a LB QB spying him and makes Streveler beat him with his arm instead of bringing a lot of pressure.

I will take that. I don't think the Edmonton lbs are all that great so if they aren't bringing a lot of pressure as they usually do I will call it a win for the bombers.

[Booch]

More than likely they will have a guy spying..if I wast he DC there thats would I would have my defense doing...and that's all the more reason for Lapo to hopefully realize this, or game plan for that's what they intend to do, and to start off his first few series with varied pre-snap motions...best way to combat that, enables Strev to recognize who is vacating and know what coverage responsibilities are.

Can say for sure Edmonton will be in max protect all game especially with that left side...going to see 7 blockers every passing down.  Hall better have a better plan than rushing 6 into it.

If BC was this smart, they would do the same.

That would be my game plan, but Woli can neutralize that linebacker easily enough and allow CS17 to break out into the secondary. I remember Peter Dalla Riva doing that to Dan Kepley way back in a Grey Cup game, Kepley became an instant non-factor.

So if the offence starts to thrive under Streveler, you'll be willing to admit that it was Nichols all along, and not LaPo?

[M.O.A.B.]

Just win even if its by 1 point.... and if we lose, please make it less than a TD.

Will depend on how things unfold,

but likewise if streveler struggles you gonna admit that Lapo can be his own worst enemy? Or will you just turn on Streveler too?

[Tracker]

One game should not anoint Streveler as the messiah nor damn him as a wasted signing. Not many quarterbacks would survive those criteria.

By that logic if streveler has a good game then it was all nichols? 🤣

Well I don't think you're getting at the logic I use. I'm not some big Nichols fanboi here, I have actually long felt that Streveler has higher potential in the long term, however I'm also not going to throw Nichols under the bus when Lapo very clearly is doing the same **** he always does. 

So if Streveler succeeds it will be dependent on 2 things happening, 1: Him playing well and 2: Lapo giving him the playbook to have success. I will judge for myself what happens when he gets out there and make my judgements based on knowing the 2 variables.

Yes, but lots.of people here discard the obvious in favour of blind hatreds and ignorance so I am left to try and hammer the obvious into their heads.
