One preseason game, but 10/10 looks pretty damn good, and I'd certainly take him to backup Nichols over Ross.  Hopefully he's not simply another Robert Marve, but if he's not in injury troubled, I think we just might have our insurance guy just in case anything happens to Matt.

I only watched the 4th quarter but I was glad to see Streveler play with some fire in his eyes at the end.   He was not like the long list of defensive players who looked completely defeated and hopeless out on the field after being down by 21.        

Fixed that for you.

Streveler vs Franklin is now taking off.  Just sucks that Streve got sent back to the bullpen right as Franklin took the mound.

A year or two of Strev backing up Nichols and coming in and out of the game is exactly what he needs! This kid has talent and drive and something we havent seen in a back up QB in winnipeg in a long long time. Please do what ever it takes to keep him around Miller and Walters!

This is one thing I knew we could be confident Lapo would do is throw in a few fake QB sneaks with options for Streve to throw.  LeFevour always ruined them when he didn't run because he had the worst noodle arm of any QB I've ever seen.  Streveler has the gun.

Having Streveler and Harris in the backfield together.....in make able 2nd situations, opens up plenty of opportunities.

He is a another weapon in the Lapo's tool box. In those short yardage situations defenses have to play against keeper, the pass and that flow along line to get to the outside run. Then the hurry up after the conversion is fit perfectly for him. Just more that opposing coordinators have to plan for during the week.

There's also a guy named Flanders who is languishing on the 6.

I just re-watched a game with him playing from last year, and forgot about what a weapon he is...a much stronger runner than Demski.

This is getting off topic but if we put in Timothy Flanders who do we take off our roster?

Whoever is an international on defense who isn't cutting it.

That's where my thoughts went too. I was willing to give him a few games to settle in. But damn...it's been what 3 out of 4 without a catch now.

It's been one.

Had four or five catches in the Montreal game.

I'm fairly sure that's the only game he's caught a ball in. as in 3 out of 4 he hasn't caught anything.

My bad .. misread that

 

That said, just went back and checked .. also snagged a couple in the Hamilton game.  You have to take receiver usage with a grain of salt .. we had a rookie behind centre and a guy who wasn't projected to be our starter, he's going to spread it around a bit differently than Nichols would.  That said, I'm thrilled that no single receiver is dominating targets.  Make the offense that much harder to defend.

Imo we will see thompkins pretty soon for bowman. I think the flanders era is slowly slipping away. Lafrance and demski give us the depth at rb, especially with augustine on the PR. combine that with the depth of our offensive weapons now and I dont think we carry a DI just to use as a diversion. Teams wont bite on a low usage sub for long.
