Playing the best possible OL, would a long way towards making this season respectable.

No, needs to get the boot,,,

yep i was just mentioning that in the other thread. teams cue off our izr/tire scheme very quickly. occasionally we will throw out a heavy set and run some power scheme, or maybe 5 times a year throw some thing like a counter/ counter trap, or maybe a sweep. Inside zone, outside zone, and wide zone all work off each other and take advantage of defensive adjustments soo well. they crash inside you run wide zone to use the Ds aggressiveness to take inside leverage against them grab out side position and bust big gains. when they start chasing to the sidelines you run outside zone and let them get side line pursuit angles then cut back to a wall of blockers. You can also use the jet motion for split zone, and run mid zone to exploit the D and break wide or tite zones with more multiple aiming points from the back in stretch or drive aiming and open cut back lanes. We have the back to add complexity to the run scheme and the ol coach. if we put vanterpool back in we have a much better ol to take advantage of.

on top of that, none of our guys have experience learning or working in an rpo system. buck and suck learned from lapo, who imitated from game film. but none of them has the experience to understand the nuance of how to read the target, how to disguise the act of reading and blend it with normal plays, or even the mechanics of pull to release. at a pro level, rpo is really demanding. you have to recognize the slight difference in defender angles and exploit it quickly. There’s a great video on yt about peyton manning and how much work he put in to his mechanics on play action, stretch and other hand off techniques. Defences are better than ever at picking up cues from offense. It’s similar to how we never managed to evolve as a zone run, spread to run team beyond tight/izr. you go back to chip kellys years in oregon and soo many others and you see new wrinkles and evolution each year.

That’s FOOTBALL 🏈 weather! 👍🏻

one game sure. the season or the last year and a half? no. compare best games to best games this year and still nope.

That looks like alot of fun, we will be there. Anything for post game on Saturday? Also, is Section 143 "safe" for a couple of Riders fans? lol

I Hate Corus Entertainment someone out there needs to step up and buy YTV and Treehouse from Corus so that once they do go kablooey they won't go down with it (If I bought it I'd reinstate the Zone, and bring back their Achievement Awards) and while we're at it we need to get CJOB and Power 97 away from them I wonder if Evanov wants to buy them or something

in the past OShea has let the players figure it out and when questioned about adjustments needed would simply say the player will figure it out, maybe its time to coach

See ,all the queries ,et al ,,,coaching.

Forecast is pretty shitty for Saturday. High of 15 only and overcast.

no team should continually run an RB up the gut...even the best of the best will fail more than not or get beat to a pupl when thats all you do...and especially with an inferior center We have next to zero variation of runs, and do nothing to play off certain looks and plasy...and when have we seen the Strev package do anything other than a straight hand off...or he keeps and trues to run between center and tackle No naked bootleg...him take off right away with RB in option position....or variations of any of that and him throw....pretty much....never And people wonder why that package sucks...or claim Strev just doesnt have it...he's been set up to fail and teams know exactly whats coming...its pretty easy to defend only 2 variations off a Strev package

yea we suck at RPO and ZC isnt an ideal guy for it anyway....not at this point in his career...maybe his hamilton days....lil bit in 2021...not now We also avoid seam and crossers and blitz beaters like its the plague....inadequate OC part of that too....his play book is like a seasoned OC trying to hide his scheme in pre-season well with our lack of usefull Cdn depth after our starters...and Ball likely out too....I can see Bailey finally getting on....Which is a plus.....an yeah too bad for Schmeck as he finally seemed to find his game as a nice depth piece....he actually is one of our quickest guys off snap believe it or not and finally figured out how to attack and puncture gaps...Him spelling off lawson would have been Ideal and all we needed as cdn DT's With Schoen's issues....Hopefully we bring on Echols for him, and Pokey for Logan, as Echols is a good returner and can spell off Vaval... And how Woodbey showed last game, and his versatility and used how they I guess figured Ayers could of been...but wasnt....Possibly dropping Ayers for Adams or woods... Even tho Mitchell showed signs of life I wouldnt be oppose to dropping him and we roster both Woods and Adams and run with a Demski/Clercius/Pokey/Wheatfall/Echols unit

That sucks. He was just starting to come into his own. I hope this means by unfortunate means their hand is forced into de-nationalizing the DT spot.

To heck with stats or MOP awards. ZC played better than Vaj or Harris this weekend. When you conpare what he has to work with, he's the better QB. Based on this past weekend's games, in particular.

vaj isn’t slightly above average. he hasn’t been that guy since he got to bc. We don’t though. on just 4 more attempts vaj has almost 500 more yards, 10.1 yards per vs 8.5, 105.9 qbr vs 98.5, 15/8 vs 13/11. Mop is likely between harris and vaj.

we aren’t running that much rpo. suitor thinks every pa play is rpo, it isn’t. It’s pretty easy to identify when we do run rpo, because we aren’t very good at it. watch zachs head/shoulders. if he’s looking at brady, he isn’t reading any one on the D. when we run rpo, you can see him stare down the key play on D. usually you would read the edge and bootleg based on his angle or pursuit. For us, we’ve read sam/wil on medium short passes that are quick, and run what I call fake rpo. which is when you go to the huddle with a call change based on pre set alignment. Buck did a lot of this prior to last year to try and speed up getting the ball out. if the slot coverage (half,sam,wil) is too far off, zach throws a snag, hitch, screen etc. it’s a no signal check run from the snap. We used to try and do pin and pull rpos like that especially with strevy going back to lapo.

Pokey.

I always thought the Bombers should send up a drone on Banjo Bowl to capture all the activity around the stadium. As you mentioned, most people dont see all the tailgating that takes place as they are so spread out around campus.

A look at their offseason signings/ moves explains a lot, even taking the adams acquisition out: Acquired Orimolade - an all cfl end Green - Starting Canadian corner Webb - all cfl db (impact on their secondary similar to when we first got Alexander) T Jones, - dependable low cost reciever Rhymes - the list goes on Compare that to Mitchell,White,Logan, Jones, Hagarty, Vaughters etc.

Thanks! It's nice to be acknowledged.

The Stamps are putting together a good season with a QB who's slightly above average Ironically, our QB is better by quite a bit
