I could see doing it only if you played vice on duke and left duron over the top to re act to the ball in flight. other wise duke is gonna run away with the league lead.

i wanna say 2 more years but i dont recall. sask is a great destination for high value FAs to get a huge signing bonus before joining a good team.

I was poking around the stats and found some thing interesting. We all know harris is a huge part of our passing attack and offense in general. What really surprised me was the production totals of our NI pass catchers vs the imps. Now its a bit skewed with bowman up to last week but even then, we have hardly used petermann and simonise who have both shown some exceptional flashes. Petermann with some tough as nails blocking and tremendous speed on the reverse and simonise burning the pants off one of the best dbs in the league a few weeks back. For simplicity im ignoring the one catch by each of the none pass catching positions. Adams, dressler, bowman, thompkins 60 catches on 115 passing attempts 52.1% 820 yards 7.13 YPA 4 tds demski, harris, wolitarsky, petermann, lafrance, and simonise. (the last three each have 2 catches) 71 catches on 93 passing attempts 76.3% 764 yards 8.21 YPA 8 tds. When you factor in rushing yards, the canadians are the biggest producers on offense for us. When is the last time that happened? There has been a bit of talk in other threads about our WR core vs other teams. The depth and quality of our canadian play makers is heavily under rated league wide. We have some serious skill and talent in the NI dept on offense. For all of last year our totals were; 165 catches , 212 passing attempts 77.8% 1490 yards 7.02 YPA 4 tds. Our NIs this year would be on track for 2292 yards and 24 tds.

Manziel, MBT getting the start over franklin in TO, and what is likely (imo) going to be a loss for the riders vs edm. It should be a very interesting week in the cfl indeed. I think manziel shows flashes but loses. I see the moes edging out the riders in a close one. And MBT being pulled after the first half.

If the RBs should fall flat and if my memory is correct and harris is a FA at seasons end I could see them looking to the future with franklin and the argos trying to hold on and push for another deep run with harris on a rental. The east is soo soft and open Idk if that happens before the trade deadline. Itd basically require mtl to turn it around with manziel in a big way.

Yeah he is. We know he will turn on a big FA pick up in zero time flat if they dont perform. I think collaros gets one more game if he doesnt play out of his mind its over. It could be as few as 2 weeks for them to be past him, but more likely it wont be till they play calgary as their schedule gets real soft right now.

No i cant see us moving nichols this year under any real circumstance, or any way toronto would get him. Im just noting that I think he would be the best fit with trestman in the league. More then reilly even, comparable to BLM. I think the realistic guys are jennings, and collaros mid season and maybe harris off season.

yep time to ship bridge, a pick and DB Duron Carter to the argos. Idk if any coach in the league has more leverage on his team then trestman. DD as much, but I dont think any one else even has that. Its gonna be really interesting to see what our old boy MBT does, but to be honest my expectations are low. I feel like he is the tony ortiz, TC/mini camp / pre season guy who flashes all the brilliance but lacks the experience to be able to do it in real fire situations with any consistency. I dont think bridge is the trestman type of guy, but I think in any trade of franklin trestman and the Gos get a QB back. I want to say harris will be a FA at the end of this year, and collaros could easily be on the trade block. Perhaps the argos go after either of them. I could see them trying for jonathon jennings as well. I think they guy he would want the most and who fits his system the most out side of MR and BLM, is nichols.

We have always seemed to come out a bit flat after bye weeks under this regime. I dont think that will be the case this time with added leadership and the upstanding defensive personnel. Would love to see fenner come back after the bye week. I hope we keep MO at sam. Move fenner to half. So fenner, and alexander start at half. Randle n fogg at corner. Then Id DI one of cooper and sayles. For my money cooper is more steady and sayles makes more big playes. Id roll with the hot hand and let them fight each week for that DI spot. Id probably lean towards sayles in the spot right now. Another option would be to adjust the ratio to start a nuck else where (wr/dl), put mo back at S (he had a whole bunch of plays where he was the deepest man against toronto with loffler under him) keep feener at sam and play both sayles and cooper as starters. Wouldnt be easy, especially if corney is still out and with how thompkins played. Then loffler would rotate in at Lber.

Saw a lot of times they had no deep man to help. At the game, after the late hit he was holding it and stretching it for a good while. That said it didnt seem to affect his throwing.

The bombers shut wilder down the previous week. The argos adjusted to what we did and took advantage. Trestman is a good coach. And its bloody hard to win back to backs because of this. Teams adjust, do you adjust out of some thing successful to some thing low use and risk out thinking your self? No doubt his offense is centered around a specific tool set. Also remember this offense was built around expecting ricky ray to be the starter. It takes time to make adjustments and fine tune it for some one else, especially with a different tool set. Franklin is still a good prospective qb1. He just isnt instant jesus. Streveler has moved the bar higher and franklin just isnt ready for it just yet. Offensive diversity is the name of our game this year. We have soo many guys we can lean on, weave in and feature you cant cheat too much to one guy or one aspect.

he did, and he did a better job getting rid of it the few times they got through. They sure countered our run blocking though. It seemed like harris was contacted in the back field on nearly every carry.

Thompkins looked great. Seems to have instant chemistry with nichols too. I was hoping to see more petermann mixed in but if thompkins keeps it up he is gonna be tough to take off the field.

Thompkins looks like a great find. Hope he keeps it up.

All good questions. He seems to lack all urgency in the pocket. So nonchalant taking the ball and holding it, throwing away in some bad spots. Yeah the location of our trick play calls is baffling some times. Miller indeed had another great game. Ogopogo was getting held on every other play. It was driving me mad. Jeffcoat also with a ton of pressure again tnite.

1 Big-knox. The combo was on fire tonight, but JSK was beasting like never before. 10 tackles 3 sacks. 2 Brandon alexander, A pic and a forced fumble, plus some great, great coverage tonight. 3 Demski, 5 catches 82 yards 1 td + our leading rusher 3 for 34 and another score. HH The reverse on the opening return by petermann. Guy has some jets.

The Ol has been beasting. The amount of run plays called this year is helping them do it as well. Those guys are loving life on the grid iron this year.

Id rather see a camera on a drone like 20 yards behind the QB, or that wire camera the nfl uses some times.

his first move off the snap is insane. Ni or imp that dude explodes. dont care got paid. This happens far too frequently now. Just gonna be a thing when you have multiple people involved and social media. doesnt make it less stinky though.

I think petermann is playing a different position though its probably an over look. Lankford is a fear for me. Though id take him over bowman, id rather play couture at TE full time. Id rather play wade at TE full time actually. I suspect of thompkins/washington doesnt pan out we will see the air lifts begin early.

itll be like that northern league trade back in the early 2ks where a guy was traded for beer. they havent made use of the guys they have so i dont put much faith in it.

I think he has the potential to make any pass, but still tossed up some that showed he still needed to get used to the game up here a bit. He also had the massive advantage of other teams not have footage or enough on him. Having that + being a running qb is deadily. Dont get me wrong, he is the best rookie cfl qb ive seen in ages. And I think he will eventually be a star in the league. But he isnt as ready as he seemed. He is however the most ready guy not starting already. What a great position to be in. And a new one for us. Idr the last time we had it this good. A very good qb, just under the elite tier with the best youngest back up and guy who looks like he will be a star. It was pretty clear streveler loved to spread the all around, but also had instant chemistry with wolitarsky. what is surprising is the gigantic difference in streveler attacking the middle vs nichols. I suspect a good part of that is the running threat. If the MLBer sticks on streveler that opens up the middle. If he doesnt that opens up lanes for streveler. In the first game edm did a pretty masterful job of using the mlber against him but he still played great.

I expected some to miss the point and not go past the qb comparison, i didnt expect the majority to near entirety to do so. Way she goes i guess. Least you got it 😛 Game to game, and half to half our offense tends to play jekyll and hyde. A good portion of it comes from defensive adjustments to what we are doing, and the in ability to sustain such insane paces. When our offense clicks, we go no huddle and keep the plays varied the offense rolls over people in a hurry. Did some comparison splits last year its crazy. If we can use one more threat, that can move around tail back to wing to slot and allow us to motion harris around more as well we can keep up the offensive production. Also depending on plop not out thinking him self or us un characteristically shooting our selves in the foot repeatedly.

What we got nichols for vs what we got for willy is insane. The mark of our management has really been shrewd deals. Weve hit and missed on vet fas, high up side young guys, but man we have crushed trades.

This thread has some how been kind of lost in the sea of new threads this year. havent heard this any place else but it seems weve signed frederic plesius. NI, STs ace lber. Yep this is our kinda guy. Hope he can stay healthy. http://3downnation.com/2018/07/21/frederic-plesius-agrees-terms-bombers/
