Resting, relapse? The intrigue continues. I still expect him to play Sunday. This has gone well past strategic announcements and gamesmanship, Nichols is going to be worth half a Nichol if he plays at all on Sun. you never know, but it sure doesn't look very promising. and if he's that tender, chances of him making it more than a few plays are not good either. gee whiz golly gosh ding bust it dang.

BomberBall Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Why is Matt Nichols being hugged and congratulated by teammates on the field. And why is he smiling?? Could a baby be involved?? blue_gold_84 and GCJenks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Out Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Nichols is our only hope Sunday. Fever and Davis just don't have what it takes.. and then you're asking the D to score for you. Tough recipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Jeff Hamilton: Matt Nichols wasn't at practice Friday so he could be there for the birth of his baby girl Parker. #wfp I would have named her Shiny Nichols or Woody if she had been a he.....opportunity lost.

Walking off the field now with trainers while favouring his lower left leg. Was unavailable to the media after practice -- always a bad sign. If we lose Flanders, our offense goes right to ****...

Booch Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 if he is out..best thing to do is dress Bauman in Flanders role and roll with that..we know he can obviously run, and I'm sure can catch some passes out of backfield..it's not a hard thing for a former feature back in an offence to do. Plus the unknown factor of him will cause mismatch issues initially, as well his running style matches up well for playoff football...to hell with dressing a Lankford who would not factor significantly with touches anyway Mark F, shadybob and SPuDS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzsax Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm actually not concerned the sky is falling if flanders is out. Sure, he helped a ton on the blocks, we didn't really use him to the full extend we could have with harris b eing on fire. I'd be more concerned if harris went down.

I can help with that as I definitely have those. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booch Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) exactly...hence if Flanders is out you need that other import running threat...especially once the sun goes down at 430 and the team with the best ground game to control the clock is going to have nest chance to win. I actually think Bauman would offer us more in the run game than Flander's does and that dual threat, once they can (and should) establish it in the game would give the Esk's a lot of trouble. Also every year it seems in the play-offs some unsung here, or new unknown guy steps into a line-up and shines and becomes key...perhaps this year we can have that guy. He's been here now long enough, and most likely was brought in to play this same role, as he was never brought in to learn the feature tailback position, so he has to know at the least the basic packages to play it effectively..

And if Nichols is out we shouldn’t be pocket passing anyway. Play 6 OL, 7 sometimes, Normand, run read option all day and force the DL to figure out where the ball is. Use all the backs, use LeFevour, use receivers on sweeps and to block, throw the odd time on a rollout. Play ball control, give the D a chance and see if Edmonton has the physical ability to play with our OL and backs. shadybob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
