He has been our least productive starting receiver thus far, but do we know for sure that he hasn't opened up room for other receivers to get open? Do we know what his blocking on runs and sweeps has been like? Maybe he is doing what is asked of him. Now I do admit I would have liked to see more effort on that end zone toss, but I think his production will come.

To me, I just don't think he has been targeted that much - in this game I only think they threw the ball his way once in the end zone, and he was open but Nichols overthrew him. Still think the Bombers need to distribute the ball more evenly. It seemed they were targeting Demski disproportionately and really, he was not gaining all that much.

AKAChip Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Great game obviously but it is concerning that we replaced Denmark’s crappy production with a more expensive guy who also can’t get open anymore in Bowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Didn't see the game. My son got married & I was busy. But I checked the score on my phone as the evening progressed. Amazing the confidence a veteran qb in Nichols brings to the Bombers. Streveler will be so much better with the experience he gained the first 3 games. Hopefully Nichols can go forward & keep playing well. voodoochylde and Mark F 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big win by the Blue and I thought the o-line looked fantastic and the d-line as well had their way all night. The only negative I have from watching the game is the onside kick and cheap shot at the very end. What was the point of Wally calling for the onside kick and the guy who took the cheap shot I would hope gets suspended. That was as intentional as could be. Wally is a complete POS. So are his teams. Always have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that player should've been tossed and should face suspension. I don't care how much we mop the floor with your team Wally, there is no place for that in an already dangerous sport.

TBURGESS Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I doubt there will be a suspension. He was half a second early trying to jar the ball free. Deserved a penalty because of the timing of the hit, but nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replay showed to me the BC player had no intention in trying to catch/knock ball out of bounds. His attention from the start was purely on hitting Adams.

kelownabomberfan Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I hope Adams isn't seriously injured. He appears to be our only real deep threat right now. I am not sure what Adarius Bowman is doing out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he was getting the ball himself. Adams had position and could see the ball coming. Best assumption is that he's going to catch it so you try to take it away from him. Timing sucked tho.

Captain Blue Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Looking back, it is interesting to see how different our defensive philosophy was for BC rather than the Hamilton game. It will be interesting to see if its a trend too now with BC right up again. We brought a ton of pressure consistently against Hamilton and were torched. We relied heavily on a four man DL rush against BC with much better results. Jennings still had time to throw, but struggled much more to find an open receiver.

Contrast that to a class act like O'Shea or Trestman and you'll get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
