Piggy 1 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Dumb question from me. Why is Hall not a field level ? I think coaches should be down amongst their players. Having said that ,I truly believe the breakdowns we had are fixable.
gbill2004 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 We gave up over 200 rushing yards but about 100 of those were on 2 runs. I do think a lot on D is fixable.
do or die Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Anything is fixable......just need to start next week. The tackling actually wasn't that bad....just nobody in position (bigtime) to make the play... Piggy 1 1
Geebrr Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Didn't see much of Sherman/Newman/Waggoner on D. Hope that shifts. We could hedge our bet on Hurl and spread the snaps around if we shift that NI spot more to WIL. Hurl on first down, one of the others in dime. I'd agree. I'm not as ready to write off Hurl, but he definitely has room to improve. I hate guys being late on a blitz... I dont have patience for it. Bigblue204 1

Probably likes to see how the Riders attack the different coverage shells, what blocking schemes they are using and their sub packages. Can't really see that from field level and they don't get the overhead pictures like the NFL. blitzmore, firekid23 and Piggy 1 3
Blueandgold Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Why is Rennie Curran not employed? If Wild or Henoc don't cut in the near future I'd gladly take him. Floyd 1
Captain Blue Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I think the D was awful today but think we should give them more time. Leggett is a game changer. One of the best safeties in the league, and Demetrius Wright back there was terrible. Leggett should help reduce the big plays, plus brings a good edge rush occasionally. Gotta figure out the DL. Thought for sure this would be a strength after seeing them in camp. After one game it looks like I was completely wrong so far. Still want to see Gibson more, less Peach. I don't know how you fix the DT spot, not much to replace Anderson with. I think our run defense should correct itself as well. I don't think it'll be particularly good, but as long as it doesn't remain so unbelievably bad the defense should be alright. Just off odds, you have to think the chances of teams consistently putting up several 30+ yard runs is pretty small.
Geebrr Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I'm hoping Ball shakes loose and we get him up here.
Fatty Liver Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Why is Rennie Curran not employed? If Wild or Henoc don't cut in the near future I'd gladly take him. I don't believe he's available, hard to track but I believe he's still on the NFL radar.

Geebrr Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I'm hoping Ball shakes loose and we get him up here. Ball? Marcus Ball, played for the Argos Apparently we were close to signing him before he signed with Carolina a short while ago.

Floyd Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I'm okay with Hall, but it is a very Greg Marshall game plan... Rennie Curran would be a nice addition - maybe Burnett can do some damage ...but Osh will definitely give Hurl a few games if not half the season... too bad, I actually think Sherman or Newman at WIL causes less damage Hurl was over-committing on almost every play tonight, expected that from Henoc in his first 3-4 games but not from a guy who's played MLB (with Hall) for half a season. Doesn't have speed to recover. Maybe our DL was under-sized... and still is

Brandon Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Legit concern for me was on the talent not the system. The lbs looked sloppy tripping and falling frequently.
kelownabomberfan Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 We gave up 3 long TDs, where the Rider ball carrier was completely unsullied..... holding down field on Bomber DB's helped a lot too. rebusrankin and Brandon Blue&Gold 2
Dragon37 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 They need to o some work on D for sure but what was a big positive to me was despite the breakdowns they managed to shut the door when it counted. So this D is perfectly capable of doing what needs to be done and improving as the season moves along. There were loads of changes over the off-season so they will need some time.
SPuDS Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Nobody thinks that chamblin had a slight advantage due to the fact that he and durant oh, i dunno, know exactly what to look for in a Richie hall defense?! Change words, calls, signs, etc any coach with half a brain and a QB who isn't a bishop clone would know all the tells and when to run certain plays.. GCJenks 1
wbbfan Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 If you take away the 4 or so big td plays, the numbers would have been very good. BUT the utter lack of pressure, constant bus sized gaps, awful blitz schemes ,and incredibly loose coverage would still be very trouble some. The way the D played, we could have just as easily gotten beat by 50 as any thing. Imop it is fixable by ritchie hall. He has a lot of work to do, and at worst if he doesnt get it together well probably see baron miles by mid season. Never though ritchie halls D would Look worse then etchs...
Goalie Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 If you give Veltung his kick return TD on that very weak but always called block the game isn't as close as it seems. It's shocking to me how close the Time Of Possesion was tho, thought the bombers dominated the TOP. but really just had the ball for an extra minute really.. Thought it was way more as we seemed to always drive the field, go 2 and out just once i think... long drives, eating up lots of time but... guess riders had some time consuming drives too. A big Victory in my opinion for sure... we were 4 for 4 in the redzone. That's huge. And you know what... it always seems like the winning team in the CFL is the one who turns the ball over the least, we didn't turn the ball over, sask did once on a drive they probably would have got a fg out of, that's the difference. But honestly, the run game stuff, if it happens vs Hamilton, i'll be a bit more concerned but... regardless of what people say, Messam owns us and Allen is a damn good back too. Big time running yards but at the end of the day, it's irrelevant since we won and the other thing, when it mattered the most, the D stepped up and stopped SASK... yeah it would be nice if they didn't give up those 4 or 5 big plays but... they did but at the same time, outside of those big plays, i don't think sask did much else. It was either big play or nothing for them. Mark F and Geebrr 2
B-F-F-C Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 What I was impressed with is that our DB's appeared to have a better handle on the new contact rules. Can't say the same thing for the Riders DB's. That I say is all about coaching. Goalie and Floyd 2

I might go as far to say that we were the best team all week-end (going back to thursday even) in regards to the new contact rules.

The Bombers scored a TD on the drive resulting from the called back return, so no impact on the score. Jaxon 1
blitzmore Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Thought Washington had a very good game...sure tackling and pursuit...and no penalties for a change Floyd, Mr Dee, wbbfan and 1 other 4
