Down 5 starters, getting basically zero production from two DI spots in McRae and Harrison and we still win by a TD on the road. What a team! Stars 1. Zach, obviously. 2. Demski, obviously. I love the versatility of where they line him up and as Sanchez said he's a problem for D's to contend with. 3. Schoen. So talented and smart and seems so humble and coachable. I love his dialogue with Collaros after his corner route TD. 4. Brady O. I like Augustine as a change of pace back, but Brady O has another level. HH. Hallett. Great knockdown and some solid hits. I'm higher on him than I am on Thompson.

I'm all for Agudosi at boundary and bringing Bailey back to the slot where he belongs (next year). Yeah you're right. I was figuring on the first pick where his route was soft rather than coming back to the ball. Second one was on the tip.

I think Agudosi was the target on both picks. Game 2 did not live up to Game 1, to say the least. Hopefully bounces back in Game 3. Although I just remembered he got injured and read his tweet. Poor guy, it doesn't sound good.

Good insight. It's a small 5-game sample but when I have a chance I'd be curious to see how Adams targets / completions per game compare to Bailey's over 5 games. I also wonder if the hash mark changes may affect a Boundary WR's production. If I understand correctly it would mean it's a farther throw to the boundary than in years past.

I'd really like to see the Bombers do something to get Bailey going. I recall seeing a post from the Toronto game day thread that DT noted that 90% of his production came from the waggle (h/t Bigblue204) and he doesn't seem to be doing much at the boundary WR spot. Minimal targets and minimal receptions. Any chance we move Woli out that way and bring Bailey back to the slot where he belongs? I can't imagine moving Ellingson or Schoen out that way given their production but I wonder if Bailey can occupy that third slot, at least until Demski is back?

If I recall correctly, at one point Hamilton had more wins at IGF than the Bombers did (please jump in if you know the correct stat / opposing team).

I wish we ran at the end of the second quarter on the second down play. Burn some clock and maybe you convert on a 2nd and 3. Instead, incomplete pass, and a touchdown with 14 seconds left. Granted that several plays had to happen in between, but why give them extra time to make that TD happen. Run the damn ball.

Why did we kickoff both halfs? Unless it was a gale force wind, that just seems like questionable coaching to me. Not that it made the difference, but very strange to me

Plus Jesse Briggs' return. Depth indeed!

That's the only play all game where I wanted more from the coaching staff -- a timeout as soon as they motioned out of kick formation. But otherwise a perfect game.

Thanks @Zontar. You have a helluva team with a bright future and outstanding coach and QB. I'm confident that the spoils will go to you guys soon

O'Sh blew it on the last drive in my view. Should have taken the holding penalty and forced a longer field. And call your timeout when your D was in complete disarray and we got schooled. And the defensive performance was horrendous. If we had played prevent defense properly we win. Wrap up and tackle. Ugh.

That reference went over my head.

That was from the Tim Tebow in college playbook. Play action off a QB run fake.

One big thing to keep in mind with Streveler is his age. He's still only 24. Aside from BLM, not many CFL QBs get meaningful snaps at that age. Most seem to take a year or two to develop before starting, after going through the NFL practice roster circus. If he develops with experience, we're in good shape.
