Pete Catan's Ghost Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) …and then there’s the little matter of player performance bonuses. Nobody wants to sit when they are on the cusp of more dollars. Certainly, both H. Coaches know this. Edited September 14, 2023 by Pete Catan's Ghost Jesse 1

Probably gets players hurt too. Also, Toronto can't afford losses. Attendance is finally coming up and you don't throw that away by purposely looking like shat the final third of the season. You are correct. They way this is overcome is practicing the wrinkles from early in camp/the season. The wrinkles aren’t stuff you come up with week to week, it’s progressions long planned for. When they counter the wide zone Toronto loves to run you bust them with an out side zone. Etc. Dinwiddie, who is indeed razor sharp and really made some good coaches (including ours) look bad, isn’t dreaming stuff up on the fly and throwing it in. You can be sure the wrinkles they add have been practiced plenty in closed facilities practices for weeks at the least.
wbbfan Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 As for Kelly being a rookie or not, he’s like a red shirt junior. He’s had all the seasoning time in both the nfl and cfl you could want. He hasn’t been a starter long and hasn’t yet had to face defensives that are well adapted to him. Rourke was the same deal last year. Silly for either to win rookie of the year, but they aren’t seniors or vets by any stretch. we never got to see rourke play a sophomore jinx year. We will see that from Kelly next year. It will be very interesting to see how he does. We’ve seen lots of QBs take a step back in the sophomore year, and even get crushed by it (cf comes to mind).

Man I want to see the Bomber stomp the argos for no reason than to simply see the spin tsn puts on it. @bluto already got out in front of this one. He may be correct though- If first is locked up, why tip your hand? Why not give some much needed rest for some the guys? wbbfan 1
Noeller Posted September 14, 2023 Report Posted September 14, 2023 September 29th is WAY too early to be resting anyone or doing anything out of the ordinary, regardless of your playoff scenario. I have every reason to believe it'll be best on best in that game. wbbfan and bigg jay 1 1

Floated around the NFL trying to catch on for 5 seasons. He's 29. Not a kid we're talking about, And this is his team. But to try this whole thing from a different tack, if you were Dinwiddie and you won the East with 6 games to go, have no Bye weeks, banged up starters and you play an away game at your most likely Grey Cup opponent (presuming you both make it)... What would you do? Play your starters and show Winnipeg exactly how you'd play them? Don't be silly. If I'm Dinwiddie, I want to know what my team does well and does not do well against by far the best team they will face this year and most likely Grey Cup foe. There is 6 weeks left and lots of time for adjustment if that team proves to be much better....which I suspect they will. There is nothing that Toronto can hide from us now. The game film is out there. Going in and getting trounced in the final third of the season can have devastating effects on a young QB and you can't rest guys for 6 weeks and expect them to have any kind of cohesion come playoff time. You play your best, with your best, until the final couple weeks and get some key vets a breather just before the playoffs. Resting guys with a month and a half to go makes no sense at all. But hey....if Dinwiddie want to put his roster and game plans in the blender for 2 months of the regular season, he deserves the garbage he will get when they try put it back together.

I think you're right.....Argo's are going to be out to prove that the Cup win was no fluke.....This will be our first meeting since then and you know what they say about 'initial appearances'....they kind of stick......They look like they're hurting a bit...just read Gittens has been placed on the 6 game and they lost a pretty good defender awhile back....I doubt that will change things much and they'll be on top of their game....So will we....I hope it's a slobber knocker Noeller and Tracker 2

Arblows have first locked up- we don't, we are still being chased by lions and at a distance by riders... we are going full tilt on this one for the win- the arblows are not going to go full out with the playbook and will probably rest one or two guys on the injury list. Also, I would expect a 100% effort on players and scheme if it were a home game- for the fans... but yeah, I would be less inclined if it was an away game. If the roles were switched, I would limit the playbook or just show random ****, so they would have to prepare for it. bluto 1

Don’t take unnecessary risks, give guys more reps late in a game than you might normally that’s about it.
