Booch can answer better than I, but I suspect that all you need do is stack the box and get a linebacker to spy on Streveler all the time. The obvious answer to that is to lob the ball into the medium 10 yard area to a tall receiver who can both catch and run (hello Drew Wolitarsky- anyone remember him 'cause the offensive game plan didn't).
Is O'Shea taking the bullet for LaPolice here? Whoever made the decision was stupid or drunk, as the running game had completely dried up by then. Did O'Shea also direct LaPolice to do this against the Riders and Argos?
I would settle for being in the Cup game and even if we lose a close game. In a one-game winner-take-all, anything can happen, but getting there is non-negotiable for me.
Streveler was good, but it came down to the Als stopping the running plays and the passing game was so poor that it wasn't a threat, so the offence died out. And then the "defensive backs" in general and Hecht in particular started into their Keystone Kops coverage routine. To make it short: the Bombers got out-coached again. Yes, it was Hall and LaPolice but this steaming pile lies at the feet of O'Shea.
You would have been disappointed. Nothing but softball questions and cliched answers. No insight into the collapse or what the plans might be to correct yet another embarrassing implosion. The players change and yet the results are the same, so maybe its not the players who are at fault.
Barring something miraculous happening, we will make the playoffs and soil the sheets in another heartbreaking loss- probably to the Riders, to add insult to injury.
