Booch

Singer was hummmming along all game....Which begs the question ...why the hell wasn't this guy in the line-up Day 1.....Overall we played like we want our season to continue...A loss would have sidelined us ...Now the question is can we keep it going...The guys showed last night we do have a lot of talent on this club and have the right pieces ....just have to use them right

You know what we got a win, it was a nice night weatherwise and it was a fun game.

he kind of a Lawler(for catch radius/body contortion) and Schoen (with waggle mastery and routes and being where he has to be), but also a lot of Denmark...smooth and deceptive as hell...can make moves on a ball without having to gear down..and then has some more burst after the grab...and he uses his hands predominately

Just another I told u so moment..a guy who was 2x nominated for watch list for the Remington Award obviously has talent...for those not aware of what that is..its for the top center in NCAA football
Singer got 166 yards this game...corcorran and cobb have a combined 170 all damn yr...let that sink in

Yeah our use..or lack there of of our players..also who is actually chosen to play is what has been the anchor dragging us down.
Our talent is as bad as some believe...its who we chose to play..and how...and thats on coaching

And thats what we saw...pass pro from inside the tackles was as goid as we seen all yr...and that was with multiple blocking calls being switched at line too..if we would have been heavy run if the cgy looks would have gave us the advantage we prob would have really seen that group eat
Prob was a bonus that ZC was able to play this game and recognize his pre snap reads...and not be worried where his snap was gonna be and know he wasn't gonna be running for his life immediately that he was able to take advantage of it...and feel the most comfortable he has looked all yr out there

His snaps were great..consistent and exactly where you train centers to put them..hence ZC actually looked like some vintage ZC quite often this game..he was able to see things as ball was snapped and react accordingly...he also seemed way more comfortable and not panicked and turtling almost immediately as his interior wasn't getting compressed right into his face
I purposely watched the interior and the 3 guys worked as they should..sure there were a few tones some pressure packages worked but thats football and happens to all lines...but the fact ZC wasn't playing constantly in terror and got snaps that allowed him to see what's going on thru the whole play he was able to be old zc..rolled out..evaded and made the big off script throws. .and a receiver group that had ability and recognized it..and they had those extra seconds to make plays because it wasny chaos in the backfield..he also had more 40+ yard plays this game than he had all yr...cause he had a pocket for most part..but also when he felt the need..and had time and space to do get outta harms way and make a play..he was able to...before there were guys coming from all lanes and was swamped.
As for blocking calls..did we see guys screaming through untouched thru any A or B gaps...or guys coming off edge clean as a shiny nickle untouched and the QB getting relentlessly popped...over and over...no we did not..which also had an effect on ZC play and prob one his best games of the yr..right when we needed it too...there is a link to all this and stated many times a offence and its success more often than not are predicated from the inside out...we saw that last night

Lol...I think it just confirmed I was right....again

Daniels was solid for his role, because we had the extra imp ol dressed daniels was blocking down on smaller guys all night, which he is far better at. Also, he had a key block on the td return by vaval.
Good observation on zach checking plays. Calgary didn’t do any thing exotic, but our called play seemed to need to be checked most of the time. It looked like zach was wanting to attack the deep seams in calgarys coverage, and it seems like that was never the base play call.
As often happens, the play call seemed frustratingly slow to come in for zach.
The best way to watch the C, is following the bend of the interior ol. If it looks like a flat line between the guards, or a slight capital A shape, with the C slightly past the Gs, that means the C is stone walling or pushing back any defender on them. If you see a V, then the C is being driven back.
You can simplify that by the direction of the Cs shoulders when the ball is thrown. if they are facing the offensive end zone it’s good so long as you haven’t given up an interior pressure. If they are facing a side line and they are helping a G then it was a tough rep or they helped late. If they are angling to the back field it’s bad, if they are square to your qb, the qb is likely eating dirt.
If the middle 3 stay relatively shoulder to shoulder with no gaps in pass protection, that’s a good sign of strong C play.
With pass pro in the cfl, the interior generally plays tight to each other to eliminate interior gaps, forcing a pass rush to knock down an ol or go around to get to the back field. Body blocking by plugging up lanes, a lot like a defense canceling gaps in the run game. When interior ol are getting pulled apart and having to kick step or drive like a tackle it’s a big sign of problems.
Zach was pressing down field all night, I wouldn’t say that helped the ol, but he did side step pressures and half roll to buy time a few times. It’s a cooperative thing really, the ol didn’t give pressure up the middle so zach could slide out, and he did a very good job of making decisions on the roll and connecting on shots to punish calgary.

Guys I think we broke Booch...

But also some bad drops too

No tinfoil hat needed.
On the post game show, ZC said there were probably a dozen run plays that he changed at the line, based off what the defense was showing.

A few comments n the game last night"
Collaros had his best game in a t least a year, but he had time and good snaps for a change.\
Just because Collaros had a very good game, it is unrealistic to expect this to be the usual at this point in his career.
Jaylen Smith is a baller, and I hope his injury is minor.
This lineup ought to have happened months ago but for O'Shea's stupidity.
It only took 16 games for Eli to start and solidify the interior of the line. How many more before O'Shea sits Bryant out? He is definitely the weak link now and a major liability, risking the QBs every snap.
Maybe our scouting isn't all that bad. Maybe the biggest problem is our head coach and coordinators.

I tri d to watch Daniels a bit when he was in as he gets alot of heat on here...from what I saw he did well blocking.....tried to watch Eli, but honestly it's so hard to try and focus on the line like that...so I honestly could say much either way....

Tinfoil hat for a second here...Zach seemed to change many plays....I wonder how much of this game was Zach saying flub it to the play calls and just adlibing. The offence looked different last night...
Tinfoil hat off....it was Avery exciting game to be at the atmosphere was great the weather amazing, and we get to close out this season with a win on our last home game!

There were some misses on the OL for sure but to my untrained eye the interior didn't get caved in quickly like it has in the past few years and you saw Zach able to step up and throw downfield like he loves to do.
So from that standpoint I say Eli looked like an upgrade.
People said the same **** with singer on the pr. Coaches never make mistakes and if guys should be starting they would be. Well there is no universe where even a raw rookie singer wouldn't have looked better than Cobb or Corcoran on the roster from game 1. Makes you wonder what other bad roster decisions like that have gone on all year eh?

Yeah I not sure what db was smoking.. this was by far the best the interior looked all yr..first pockets we had to work from all yr really
The leakage cameoff from outside for most part. There were no guyd coming absolutely free with big shots..and also based on looks ZC changed the plays at least 10 times from a run to a pass..so they never got to settle in on a ground and pound to abuse and wear out the defence.
One game together was worlds better than what weve seen for a long while..a few more to get cohesion as a group will only make them better
For first time together against prob the toughest dline..can't complain one bit. I shudder to think the results if we went status quo
Lost in it was the snaps and the effect that has..which is huge and was mentioned earlier
Fact of matter if anyone can't see that Eli is the better center....not sure what to say...and was first game in long time too ZC actually looked more comfortable back there..wasnt in turtle mode..or doing panicked things that were making him look like a rookie...there was a reason for that

There seems to be a difference of opinion regarding the O-line last night. I thought that aside from Bryant, who I think the majority of us feels should retire, the line did OK with pass protection and opened up holes the few times Oliveira got the ball. I felt that they gave Collaros ample time. However, Zach is notoriously slow when it comes to his release and it seems that he's always looking for that long one so it seems like he is always under pressure. Anyway, the Bombers got the W and now it's up to them to cement a playoff position. (Magic number is 1, I think.)
P.S. Wallace was really aggressive on the run where Oliveira fumbled and may have caused it. Eli looked fine at C and even Elsbury in a limited role was knocking bodies around. The line is a work in progress but it's moving in the right direction. (This coaching staff has to be hit on the head with a 2x4 to get them to realize that they can make changes that just might be positive.)

Definitely see why cobb and Corcoran were in ahead of Singer..guy sucks and our qb had zero trust in him

Think groin when he twisted around
