  7. Who is the incumbent DC?

    I agree with 17to85. Good QBs can recognize a blitz prior to the snap of the ball and can either check off prior to with another play or pass that info to his offense. Nichols doesn't seem to be able to do that. Screen or check down passes to someone out of the backfield will work but are seldom used. He seems to stand in waiting for something and his 4 secs become 3 or less. There doesn't seem to be any adjustment. Wonder what a 2 back backfield would do to offset the blitz. Seemed to work last year?

    While I have always thought Nichols was not our saviour I can't really put all the blame on him without knowing what plays are called etc. I can say however that he cannot throw a long ball with any consistency; will not take responsibility for the O performance; and seems to be too quick to check down to his outlet receiver. Now with that said I think Lapo is as much if not more responsible for the dismal performance of the o line. He has abandoned the 2 back set; he has brought in personal that in my humble opinion are not as good as some that are sitting and he has reverted back to the same old same old OC he was last year and previous years in which he got fired. To start the season there was a not of motion; he used two back, not necessarily the two I would have chosen but they were there; he was using Demski as he should be used but all that has gone out the window in the last two games. Too reliant on Harris makes this team one dimensional. So the blame goes to both. Yes some receivers dropped passes.....so did Calgary but they were far more imaginative than we were. And we are speaking only of offense here not defense. 

    My only hope is that we split with Sask but my gut says we will lose both. 

  25. How to beat Calgary Saturday

    sit Lankford insert Flanders and run a two back backfield. Throw long to Adams a few times and eliminate as much as possible those 3-5 yard passes. Stretch the defense both vertically and across the field.

    Then let Fogg return punts take him out of the backfield and add tons of pressure. Don't be afraid to blitz and do it often. 

    Finally someone shake the head of MOS.....don't be so darn stubborn and call a spade a spade!

    Will that result in a win.....I doubt it but it will be a  start
