Booch

His role isn't to be a guy to run people over, it's to catch
But his size and strength will allow him to box out defenders, make the tough grab and not go down at first contact...all pluses in my book to go along with his knack for moving the chains

Yeah a lot of waiting for the ball and having to get it standing still.
Liking this pick-up....traits of a dependable possession and yard stick moving National...with ability for a big play. Just what we need

when they pan over the crowd on tv in saskatchewan it looks like everyone is in a nickelback music video in 1999

I like visiting Regina. It helps me remember to appreciate Winnipeg.

Yeah pretty much a scheme to overcompensate for a know flaw on their part...Which is going to be robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Start off run heavy..short and underneath routes, and screens because it's going to open up for like Mike said especially with an inexperienced group the big plays.
They are going to start to cheat and bite early and then they will get exploited...and odd as it sounds but I can see their one experienced vet on Jovon getting caught biting and trying to jump in and our tall bigger receivers having a lot of over the top plays and busted coverage's.
Also too, they are set up for some big runs, especially with Harris, who is prob one of the best, if not the best in making misses in second level, or busting through the first initial contact.  With the way Hardrick and Bond love getting into the second level with their blocks theres going to be a lot of room for some serious yards.
 
 

I don't think it will be a blow out, but it will be an easy win.
Talent wise we should control both lines, and based on the scheme Sask ran, I don't see there D-line getting much pressure, maybe a bit sporadically off the edge, but that's about it. That's where Harris will come in handy as a check/release until Sask solves things and I am sure Lapo has game planned well for what Sask will do.
I don't see their DB's handling our receiving crew well either...Too much vet savvy there and that's gonna be huge, and thats where I think our receiving core is better than theirs and it will be key.
If Glenn is pressured, and pressured early and often it will limit what those receivers will be able to do for them, and they will be 2 and out a lot as our patient ball control offence eats up the clock and wears their defense out..You will see that Sask D-line gassed and sucking wind in second half with Harris ripping off big gains...bank on it and when sask's green secondary and linebackers adjust and fill the box, look out for Denmark and Dresslers vet route running exploit them on posts and deep outs.
If our defense comes to play and schemes Glenn how I think they will, I bet he is around 50% passing with just over 200 yards barely and 2 picks while being sacked 5 times

What more would you want from your 5th receiver option, especially when we run an offence where the RB is going to get around 50-60 receptions a year too
 

Yeah I wouldn't base a defence off of last year stats...for any team truth be told.
I also wouldn't base a team on what was viewed in pre-season either as nothing is as it was seen then...and now when the lights go on.
I will stand by my statements earlier that we will be in top 2 teams for points allowed this year, and our offence is going to produce over 18 games more points than it did last year, and win TOP battle most games.
So from my experience more points scored than given up, top 2-3 in points given up in league, winning the TOP during games, works out to double digit wins at worst.
I could care less if we give up 300+ yards passing a game if we are winning. My only concern/want is a defense in later stages of a game controlling things and not giving up long back breaking drives in the 4th quarter making games closer than they should be, and I think this year we are going to be fresher going into 4th quarter on defense because our offence is going to be controlling the clock and staying on the field longer

OH to have Joe Lo today...

JFG is a solid player...all around which is what we want in that spot and why management isn't too concerned about not getting some perceived marquee guy there.
He's tough....gonna make those dirty catches and plays for you, and is a key downfield blocker allowing the marquee guys to do their thing.. and is dependable and has trust with his teammates...especially Nichols
If he plays all 18 games realistically I see him getting between 350-450 yards...3 TD's and probably a 2 point convert or two.
What more would you want from your 5th receiver option, especially when we run an offence where the RB is going to get around 50-60 receptions a year too

Looking forward to Saskatchewan's schedule leading up to labor day they should be somewhat worried.
They now go: WPG-HAM-CGY-TO-BC-BC-EDM-WPG
Not to be a rider basher but they could very well be 0-8 leading up to Labor day if we don't crap the bed next week. I think our bed crapping days are behind us and really we have game film on them now and looking at what they have going there we should not be losing that game
Toronto I think has a better defense than Montreal and Trestman will cook a better game so of all those games coming up that could be the one they win, but I'm doubting it..
1-7 at best for them to start...2-6 would be shocking
