I thought it was weird how Nichols really didn't target Davis that often last night, even after we lost Dressler. 

Given our injuries, I like the signing.

Anybody else not sold on Sheppard? Not seeing much. Will go back and watch again though.

Is anyone going to mention the suicide pass that got Dressler hurt? I know it's all sunshine and rainbows for Nichols but that was a suicide pass and Dressler is now hurt because of it. 

Every QB will throw a pass like that every now and then.  Every QB will over/under throw from time to time.  If you're looking for a QB that never makes a mistake, you're going to have to wait a long long time.  The throw was off, the receiver went a got it.  It's too bad he got hurt, but catching passes, even less than perfect ones is kinda what he's being paid to do, no?

I'm not sure Davis has run a route deeper than 10 yards this season.

Other than Adams and Dressler it was hard to pick up on just who the other receivers were as they hardly got any balls thrown their way.  As far as I can tell with the 3 injuries they were down to 4 receivers covering 5 positions by the end of the game.  Of those Kohlert caught 4, Davis, 2, JFG 1 and Sheppard 0.

Not nearly as him never looking at or throwing to harris.

My understanding is that the LaPolice offense specializes in short-medium (5-15 yards) passes and will use the long bomb only on occasion. I don't know if this is because Willy's passes were suspect or just as a matter of philosophy stressing high-percentage completions.

EXACTLY. In my mind LaPo called a pretty good game. That could have been upgraded to 'called a great game' had he incorporated Harris as a receiver. Initially, the Eskimos might have been looking for it, but not after we had them flummoxed. Harris would have added way more yardage to his total.

its all great because we won... doesnt matter who played best and how many yardage they got... its all about the win.

I won't because every QB has thrown those. It is unfortunate that there was a lapse of accuracy on that throw because that is what led to the injury. However, even if he was on target I can't say that Dressler wouldn't have been hurt. He was gonna get hit hard. That is ALWAYS the risk on a crossing hot pass.

KG left milt in some bad situations more times then i can count. Thats the life of a slot back. And why for soo long the nfl slot wr was a tight end. 

Anyone one know when Kris Adams will be ready?  He looks pretty athletic in the limited amount I've seen him. 6'3" too.

probably day to day like every other injured player on the team. xD

We're covered...

 

Haha even Milt at his age would still get it done

Kris Adams just started practicing last week, he can come off the 6-game now

How 'bout Jeff Fuller ?

Is he the same Kris adams we had a couple years ago? Or is that a different one

I don't recall this guy, was he injured right through TC?

I think he was let go early due to injury but stuck around town and was brought back. 

I hope the move of bringing Denmark in doesn't signal long term injuries for both Dressler and Adams

That's the way it looks unfortunately. God I hope Smith is back soon.

Adams is out long term.  No update on Dressler yet other than it doesnt look good.

How many turnstile OL have we seen injure qbs? It's a team game. Like a lineman who whiffs his block he never meant to get his qb hurt. Same with Nicholls. **** happens.

I would think Adams has some sort of shoulder separation.
