Harris was basically our offense in the Grey Cup season. How many balls has Oliveira caught? I haven't seen Oliveira truck guys and push for yards like I've seen Andrew do it. A healthy Harris would b

Confirmed in the Freep today that Meredith picked up an owie that has been slow to respond to treatment and is expected to return once healed.

Oliviera is solid but Harris is next level.. blocking running and catching.. the perfect release valve for Collaros.  Brady has yet to show he can be that release valve

Yeah Brady has to develop as a pass catcher. But he is excellent as a blocker. Still some decision making improvements to be made but he's a beast  blocking.

To be fair, they haven't used him as one.

Expand  

He's had some block and release stuff but yeah not much for looks. 

 When collaros scrambles or is pressured he looks to beat the d down field. He doesn't look for the short release valve. In the past that was our go to read.

Wouldn't mind seeing both on some 2-back schemes. Added to the fact that Demski can also carry the load every now and then. Our running game can be more unpredictable.

For sure. Brady as a lead blocker could do some damage. The misdirection and ability to stretch the defence out laterally could open a whole lot in the seams and down field.

We'll see what level he's at at 34 years old and a year off.

Soooo.......Thorax for Woogie......? What's up with that?

With Grant on the 6 game I hope we look at another return man. Maybe activate devonte Williams. 

Nelson has had 1 good return but we've faced some big legs but Nelson is under 20yards per ko return. And a shade over 10 on punts.

Agree. Nelson doesnt impress me. I was hoping they will try McKnight on the return game last week.

Harris is miles ahead of Oliveria. Oliviera may be great later in his career, but right now he is still developing.

Even just having Harris in the lineup helps, he drastically alters opponents scheming because they have to respect that he is just such a good release valve for Collaros. Also, as a vet, he is way less likely to miss blocking assignment than Brady, which makes blitzing riskier.

Not relevant to our current injury situation, but man I miss Streveler.

A microcosm of the return game was when there were 4 Argonauts in front of Nelson with zero Bombers to block for him. I wouldn't be putting it all on Nelson. I think we still have some work to do in our blocking.

I don't know **** about this, but during the radio cast, Brown seemed to indicate that Nelson was baiting them to one direction all night in order to set up the one big run where he got the corner and went around the edge.

Because he was flat footed after catching the ball. I rewatched today and he was constantly tentative with the ball. When he had blocks he wasn't decisive and that led to blockers running out of time.

Idk he was flat and shaking left and right constantly.

 He ran up the middle mostly save for the one he broke. But even including the 30 ish yard big return he's been sub average.

LOL @ Jamie Nye being 1-7 

Expand  

I'll give him bit bit of slack since pretty much nobody had Calgary & Edmonton starting out like this.  He had the worst record in that group for the 2019 season though so it's not a complete surprise to see him at the bottom.

Nelson stutter-steps himself into getting tackled. He never goes. 

The best returners just go.

As per Bob Irving on the last game radio broadcast.... O'Shea likes Nelson because he goes North South and is secure with the football.
