Once Bailey started catching the ball in the past 3 weeks he's established himself as a solid #3 option with maybe potential for more. That Toronto back to back him and Lawler dropped a ton of balls.
Completion percentage from the pocket off his drop was under 30%. Most of his completions came when he had a clean path to step up and fire. When he rolled out he was in trouble, 2 picks and 1 fumble. Pick six was from the pocket.
Game film will end his potential. Keep in mind the Bombers D was facing him completely blind, not even pre-season games to look at.
Plus what is his counter to any wind, say the wind is blowing left to right? Like ok one kick, but there should be an adjustment so the same thing doesn’t happen three times. In the post-game O’Shea said his process is good but I’m not sure I can agree.
He clearly can hit the ball left because he did on his best kickoff.
I mean, the D has basically beat Edmonton's O on its own 15-14. I'm not going to fault them for giving up a TD when Edmonton started on our 8 yard line.
Cornelius has done nothing from the pocket. Bombers gave away 22 points directly to unforced errors. This game easily could have been extremely ugly for Edmonton.
Hopefully a sign we've made the adjustment to not let Cornelius step up and into his throws. Let him stand in the pocket and try to chuck it and avoid rushers, be patient in middle.
He's not getting much time on his drop but he's stepping up past the rush and we have no one in our second level to meet him or interrupt the passing lane for him there.
One thing I'll never understand with this O is why we try to use Demski has a possession guy, 2nd and long. We have Wolitarsky, Lawler, Adams and it's 2nd and 11 we have a QB trying to fit a ball into a tight window to Demski who does not have the great hands or catch radius, needs open field.
You see the 2nd down Wolitarsky converted he just boxed the corner out with his ass, brought the ball in and fell forward for the first. Demski makes plays in the open field, not in coverage.
