bigg jay Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 http://www.theprovince.com/sports/football/bc-lions/Ullrich+Harris+sets+high+target+rushing+attack/10196379/story.html Everyone knows our D-line is beat up & our run defense is suspect (at best) but is it a smart move for Harris to talk like this?
M.O.A.B. Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Paul Wiecek ✔ @PaulWiecek BC RB Andrew Harris told @FifthQtr the Lions could rush for 250 yards against #Bombers. " I really think we have the potential to do this."
Mike Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 I'm sure that's not going to light the fire of a rookie making his first start who was already fighting teammates in practice. Turned up the intensity just a little bit.

Mr. Perfect Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Interesting considering Harris himself was held under 40 yards in week five, and as a team they rushed for exactly 100 yards in the game, nevermind the fact that their offensive line is a joke. You'd think considering the last time a member of the organization ran their mouth regarding the prediction of a game, that they may just want to keep quiet, but hey if they want to keep on looking stupid, all the power to them.
TBURGESS Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 250 yards? I'm laughing even as I type it. Harris is an ID-10-T.
BBlink Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 They may as well call it Guaranteed 200-Yard-Rushing night. More free tickets for BC fans? HardCoreBlue 1
17to85 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Let him talk, just go shut him down and win the game. By hook or by crook a win is all that matters. It's a really really important game, I would hope that the team doesn't need some talk from a BC player to be motivated for this one. Blue-urns 1
SPuDS Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 What... No guarenteed win this time? Guess they must be learning...
Tracker Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 The boast makes for good media attention, but little else. Harris is one of the best running backs in the league and a darned good receiver to boot, and he has to be excited at the prospect of attacking the depleted front 7 of the Bombers. The Bombers are going to have their hands full. We are going to see if the running game is as trivial as Coach O'Shea says it is.
GCn20 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Andrew Harris is a very good RB but BC doesn't have the OL capable of imposing it's will on anyone.
Tracker Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 And we may now not have a front 7 capable of stopping anyone.
SPuDS Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Dooooooom! Glooooooooooooooom! Pft. Bombers win, glenn throws 3 picks, one a pick 6 and harris gets his hunnit rushing and fiddy in receiving.... Bombers win 28-13 BomberFan 1
mfranc Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Andrew Harris is a very good RB but BC doesn't have the OL capable of imposing it's will on anyone. Exactly. The Lions talk a lot and make a lot of promises but they are toothless and unable to deliver. Benevides is good for a few crucial coaching errors and Kevin Glenn is a journeyman QB who never wins when it really matters.

Blueandgold Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 Let's shutdown Harris tonight and make him eat his words.
gbill2004 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 This shouldn't happen. I'm surprised O'Shea let something like this become a distraction. Paul Wiecek@PaulWiecek #Bombers LB Teague Sherman admitted the whole Andrew Harris, 250 yd thing got to some guys and was a distraction for the Bombers defence.#bn

Practice mind control? He doesn't control his players thoughts. Speaks more to the focus of individual players who focused on that rather than doing their job properly each play. SPuDS 1

Would have been the perfect time for the Bombers to turn the tables and pound the ball down the Lions throat.

The available evidence indicates that the defence played pretty much as they have for the past six weeks or so- trying hard and coming up short. So, no change.

Goalie Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Paul Wiecek@PaulWiecek#Bombers LB Teague Sherman admitted the whole Andrew Harris, 250 yd thing got to some guys and was a distraction for the Bombers defence.#bn Just stealing this instead of quoting 10 different posts lol, Some guys eh? I dunno who he could be referring too, thought the D played pretty well for the most part, they just were on the field basically the entire second half but... with that said, I wonder if "some guys" refer to the defensive coordinator and the defensive coaches, stacking the box there trying to take the run away completely instead of concentrating on both the run and the pass, bombers stuffed the run pretty well when they were constantly loading the box, but what happened was they did it too much and glenn made them pay a few times, bombers adjusted a bit in the second half but by then, the O was non existent and the d got tired out for sure. I wouldn't call Sherman a liar but I thin what he might be doing is trying to direct the blame elsewhere, distraction? i dunno but i do know it worked cuz the bombers defensive coaches certainly schemed to stop the run a little bit maybe too much in the first half. The lions had a few rushing yards for sure, lots of that near the end when the game was over but what really hurt them was concentrating too much on the run and not enough on the pass, the pass really burned them last night actually, big gains for sure from Glenn all night long, not all night but certainly a few big plays of 30 yards or more from the pass, Defensive coaches probably got distracted a wee bit.
