Plus 9 later tonight in June with 50km an hour winds after it’s rained biblically the last month kinda sucks. And it rained again. But on the plus side. Fajardo can’t throw and Brady is a better running back than montreals dude. I think the bombers will smother them.

WinnipegGordo Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 I predict Strevy is going to throw, catch and run tonight. Only question is how many plays he'll be on the field for. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCn20 Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) 2 hours ago, CrazyCanuck89 said: FCB isn't the easiest position, if that were true why are most teams playing internationals there. Especially now that the hashmarks are moved in and their is less room on the fieldside. I keep hearing how Nationals are inferior, but they're hardly ever played at the easiest position? Most teams don't have any NATs capable of starting in the secondary. If they do they will almost always be playing field corner, or safety. That's just the facts. The field corner is the hardest/longest throw to make for a QB and most often is where teams lineup there 5th receiver. There is more time to react for the DBs. The hashmarks moving in made it marginally tougher for DBs but it still allows the most margin for error for any of the DB positions.

Canadians can do any thing americans can do just as well! GCN20 is bang on. Aside from QB, a canadian that can actually cover american wrs as a DB is the rarest ratio breaker. Next rarest is ones who can pass pro at the Tackle spot. The talent level has gotten drastically better among NI players, and athleticism too. But we also have a ton of Ben cahoon level canadians now. And even with all that, the default basis of teams NI ratio is 1 interior DL, 3 interior OL, and a 5th wr in the slot. The final spots are often filled out by a lber, a 2nd slot, and/or a S who has a limited role. Basically plug up the smallest zone in cover 3 schemes, come up into the box as needed, play the ceiling on robber stuff etc. It's seldom that an NI S is even asked to take the deepest man up the middle. Generally the better of the DHbs/Sam has that responsibility. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 Man I don't know.if it's cause it's a Thursday or what but there is absolutely no buzz around the city for the game. We started at Stella's, then OGC, then Half Pints, then Torque.... And the number of people who saw our jerseys and asked if there was a game tonight..... Like....?? It's the Home Opener!!! How is the city not buzzing?? Is it back to back GC losses, so some of the excitement has worn off?? Just really struck me as strange.... Thought everyone (restaurants and bars and breweries especially) would have gear on and really amped up for game day. Not so much. I've switched gears at work now and am in more of a marketing role... I would like to talk to the Powers That Be around here about how we can market these things better and all have lots of fun (and hopefully make some money while you're at it....)
