I don't understand why folks expect a QB starting his 2nd game to make good decisions all the time. It's just not going to happen. Marve isn't going to play mistake free football. Nobody plays mistake free football.
Sure Marve threw across his body. Everyone knows it's a bad thing because we've all seen it a thousand times in the CFL. Every QB in the league's made that mistake at least once. Sometimes they even get away with it, which makes them try again. It doesn't make Marve a bad QB. It makes him an inexperienced one.
Everyone's seen QB's throw deep into double coverage too. Matty was probably right that Marve didn't trust his eyes and threw to the wrong receiver. It happens. That shows Marve's inexperience, not an inability to throw the deep ball. Sure he did missed a wide open receiver in his first game that would have been a TD, which looked horrible, but he's not the only QB to ever do that either.
How can folks say that Marve can't complete a deep or even a medium depth pass? He's only thrown a handful of those kinds of passes because the design of our offence is to dink and dunk, not to go deep. Give him some time (A rollout or 10 perhaps). Give him some 1st string reps (Nope 1 week isn't enough). Give him a running game to keep the D line off of him. Let him throw a dozen medium/deep balls in game situations. Then you can decide if he can or can't throw them.
Marve is an inexperienced QB, playing in a system that's designed for a pocket passer, that doesn't take advantage of his strengths, that doesn't establish the run, that expects him to complete a high % of short passes, on a team that folds when he makes any mistakes. I can't think of a single advantage that Marve has in our offence.
Not sure where you got that I wanted free, or even discount tickets from. More than willing to pay face value... just with all the printable tickets crap I'm nervous about getting them from scalpers. ETA - and would prefer to buy from people I at least somewhat knew.
Edmonton Boston Pizza's..offer ticket and bus to the game for $35. I live close to the Whyte ave BP and will be there for a beer before the game.
You can call any location and put your name on the list. I went this route last year when the Bombers were here and was happy with the tickets.
If you don't want to take the bus 45min before the game..the LRT (UofA) is a 5min walk from the BP's on Whyte..drops you right in front of Commonwealth.
Lets go Blue...can't let the cast off Bowman hurt us. The new Esks RB Bell is tough to tackle..sports radio here is all over him..am worried he will expose the LB's. Hurl might go from getting run over to danced around.
TMoney got a reaction from robynjt in Figured it was worth a shot... Tickets to this weekends game in Edmonton?
