Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Booch replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
yup....we have a guy who can grind out the shorter stuff...also with Strev...we have guys around him now who would make the jet sweep...or the fake of it...and the RPO that much more effective.... Oh I agree...definately will be some ups and downs and growth into the spot...but we have seen a lot of real bad QB play of late with ZC...and he is a one trick pony...so he is very limited in how he can manage a game with sub par support....Its gonna be an interesting dynamic...and if anything his leash should be ultra short... -

a qb wouldnt stick around down there as long as he did, and get as many looks as he did if he was flawed and deemed a guy who couldnt pass...His throwing style is funky...but so have been a lot of other QB's who did just fine. He came into the league as a guy passing the ball....but his extreme brute running got coaches here all googoo gaga over it and they pidgeon holed him -

I'm not yeah....kinda true...But Strev also got a win behind that same line....even worse recievers than what ZC has had....and that was his first start really in 4 yrs...Strev is equiped to win right now with poor oline play...and minimal weapons...with more starts...improving line play...some weapons back...whats to say he wont be even better...and still possess thatthing ZC doesnt have...and will never have...escabaility and serious threat on the ground? Thats my take as well...He is and was way more a better established passer before Lapo almost ruined him....and possess's a lot more in the intangibles...as well as better running than the Faj...Given time...reps...and yup an offence designed to NOT make him a pocket passer exclusively....he would be extremely good....we put time and effort...most of it wasted on sub par and pointless players under Osh...Maybe do it with one with serious upside and future ahead of him -
have to agree...Defence is their big issue....and I'd flip BLM for ZC right now...unless ZC shows some kind of massive reclamation of himself in the next third of season....I not very confident in that tho from what we seen so far

Canadian Denny Fortney....and yeah...a lean 280 even...be easyto do with his body type and age....could prob increase his speed as well with more lean weight and some speed training as bizzare as it may seem...we have been giving up the second fewest points per game in the league...and thats with an injury riddled lineup...some early growing pains with ford....and some piss poor front 7 personell and usage.....we dial that in and get anything at all above average from the offence...the ship can be righted fairly easily on the fly this yr, and hopefully next yr is just some tweaks and a few free agent adds ...as opposed to wholesale overhaul from a bunch of dead wood.....gotta make some those transitions here now in the 2nd 3rd of the season to align nicely with the guys we will have back from injury -

there is none....as usual and yeah...Pointless carrying all those guys, as Lawler will be back sooner than later.....And really there no reason Clericius can't take on the snaps for an import in case of an in game injury...Guy has been getting beter each snap and brings a lot to the run game with his blocking. We also can use Smith with offensive snaps too.... When Lawler is back, we run Lawler..Demski..Woli...Whitehead and the best out of Johnson/Wilson with Clericius also in the mix...thats not too bad a unit...even better if Wheatfall gets back too...Gives us a nice mix of filed stretchers...50/50 ball guy...some nice big bodied possesion guys and some shifty multi purpose ones.... -

I have no issues with Wilson either...still can go sideline to sideline and make plays....his 2 partners back there tho make the group pretty weak....shore up MLB and SAM then evaluate the group -
gotta roll with Strev....again

I would like to see Wj...Adams..Woods...Garbutt get lions share in 40 and 30 fronts....Then Use Hubert the most....out of the 3 Canadians...and would have Kept Fayad and Schmeck...and if he continues to not progress give Samson a go...No need for Thomas really...why waste reps on a guy who has no future past this season, nor any real influence on many plays...let alone the game Thats the best we can put out there in my opinion with what we have available unless we pick someone up Ideally would be nice to roll out WJ..and 1 or 2 of Woods..Fox..Adams and Lawson up the gut...depending on the front with Garbutt and Hubert being seasoned, and if roster allowed Fayed (for now) rounding out the group.... give us a real versatile DL rotation and at same time eliminate some dead weight...will that happen...nope...not with Osh Oshin'....but if we did...we'd be looking good....then correct that LB group on the fly We solid with Ford/Bonds/Nichols....Holm I still think is weak and wayyyy better suited as a true free safey back there and I like what Griffen brings and would I think do well at HB...and brings a physicality there we need -

Tell's me Garbutt must be ready to go early....or we are just making a dumb roster use move...again and going without that extra...much needed rotation piece...guess we shall see -

he definately knows where to go underneath and when/where to sit down to give a QB a target. I dont think he was brought in for a deep threat for 50/50 balls....Moreso for intermediate stuff....use in the option...je=t sweep game and running crossers and intermediate seems...if for anything to take a defender with him to clear out zones...and if he does gets the ball in space...he definately will be an issue to contend with -
interesting...as thats exactly what ZC has been doing for some time now....

yeah a lot of people are really under appreciating what he can bring, and what It may will allow us to do with the offence, especially in the Strev offence. Part of whats ailing us is having bsiclly 3 gys right now at any given time that are as green as green can be, and don't have a grasp on the nuances yet...an where to go when theysee certain looks. That and they have to actively think and then make their decison, whereas with Lucky it will be instinctive muscle/mind memory moves, and those fraction of sections are huge -
Hamilton is bad...wow
-
I'd take Rod Black over Suitor and rod Smith as it is now...I'd also prefer him in Kate's spot too...tho that girl last night would be excellent.

Exactly this...and if Buck schemes for this and we run an offense predicated with this in mind..with the right collection of weapons it would be a very tough offense to defend..and then the majority of Strevs runs are less physical...but the physical aspect is there if and when needed. -

That's the thing...that's not all he can be..and not what he started out here as...but once Lapo and Osh saw that ability they tried to make him solely into that and ******** his development...allow him to be an actual QB and he will be just fine...Like a better Fajardo type. With a better arm...more power...and no ****** to him... -

Its definitely something I would implement and would open things right up on offence and totally play into Strevs skills -
As I watch I think...can we keep Laura Diakan all yr? Also a ground and pound game of Strev and BO..would mtl be exposed by that?

Gotta start from center out...and especially if we use Strev more...you want a mauling body moving center who gets off blocks and seeks and destroys guys in next level for the QB draws or the options where we give it to BO I think out best chance to win this yr is with Strev...and with more refinement of scheme to suit him and with Lawler back...and yes Whitehead to run misdirection...sweeps..or threat of with him and Demski and the double headed running of BO and Strev...where he is allowed to take shots down field...we may have something. Defences won't be able to just pin ears back and attack the QB or they will get guaged on the ground..as was evident last night...and ripple effect will make the online seem much better. We have none of that with ZC back there...and prob would have seen at least 3...4 sacks last night and some forced turnovers. Who here really thinks we win that game last night with ZC behind center...with that receiving group? I also think Clercius should be the 5th...or at least see heavy use...stud in making there! -
Cole has been good...hard to be noticeable and impact full with plugs getting reps ahead of you Poor judgement and plain dumb hit on Brown aside..Kramdi was more god awful than usual...another game chalk full of being right lost and out of position multiple times...more disgustingly bad missed tackles...now stupidity included...he needs to.be parked as a st and injury replacement guy only...even in rotation he is pointless
-
we replaced Biggie....Thomas...Kramdi and BA you would see a world of difference on our defence...but....all 4 our Osh's boy's and we know none of the will be replaced until a) they go out with longterm injury b) someone higher up lays down the law or c) Osh is punted
-
in a SAM you want one of your...if not your best Halfback/Hybrid tweener type playing there....ultra athletic but also have a physical presence...Kramdi offers none of that and if he is considered by Osh to be in the top teir of HB types on our roster...we are woefully inadequate....or Osh is woefully clueless...I go with the latter
-
age....injuries over the yrs...mileage....all factoring in....He not an everydown guy anymore...But would be more than adequate as a DA backing up a new up and comer, and come in for certain packages/in game injury replacement and an on the field coach. His play has been eroding the last 2 yrs now, and injuries accumulating and lingering....time to make those tough decisions
