Guest J5V Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Regarding Nichols struggles with the deep ball in games, I assume he throws the deep ball just fine in practice. That would suggest it's not an injury thing but a mental thing. I think he needs to keep trying to connect deep and once he does, his confidence will build. For this reason I hope Lapo doesn't restrict him to short/intermediate throws only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, last game Bombers went deep perhaps more than they should, although I believe this was because Hamilton was playing man, staying close to the line and blitzing alot, which makes going deep a preferred option in that situation. Normally Bombers do not go deep enough so I hope they continue with more than just 2 attempts per game even if it does cause some 2 and outs, just don't go overboard with trying it on every series of downs. You have to have a deep game for a good balanced offence that is hard to stop and that is the one big flaw in Lapo's current system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueingreenland Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Yeah, regarding Dressler, he had some great years in SK, he has done a great job here and, if you know anything about the guy, is an absolute fierce competitor. Having said that, with a guy his size and age, and the way we use him in our offense (a lot of sweeps), he is getting injured a fair bit...you have to wonder if this will be his last year.

We should really stop using him on plays like those sweeps. Dressler would still make for a great number three receiver at this stage, but this offence has been missing a third game breaking receiver for years. Sadly we blew our load on Bowman this past off-season. I would love to see us make a move to get us another good import receiver here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, Dressler is still our #2 receiver and has been making tons of plays for us. Yeah he is older and more fragile but guy can still play and is still a big contributer. This team just isn't likely to have any receiver put up insane stats simply because of how much they spread things around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the philosophy LaPo is employing, lot's of great weapons and everyone is contributing. The only stat. that matters in the end is the W's.

If you have the studs that Hamilton, BC and Edmonton have, then you are going to use their strengths and certain guys are going to get the ball a lot more. When the Bombers had the best receiver in the game, Lapo would feed him and work off the coverage other teams deployed against him. When you have Darvin Adams instead of Milt as your #1, you are going to mix it up a lot and find ways to use everyone's strengths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not bad but unlikely to be a long term answer. Though you never know with the team still employing Unamba. Porter was forced into action at SAM last year due to injuries against BC and while he wasn’t great, it was hardly the perfect circumstances for him to make his debut.
