He can't. Very few deep threats are forced to make contested catches consistently. They are fast guys who strive at getting past coverage so the catches don’t need to be contested. Adams isn’t a burner but he’s very good at getting open deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you tell me, coach. Let's use a formation that hasn't been used in the CFL since the 90's to win us a few games. Alrighty then!

Mr. Perfect Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 6 minutes ago, AKAChip said: Demski is bad with contact too. Arguably worse than Adams. To a point though it's more understandable with Demski given the size difference between the two. Demski also provides positive things through special teams and the running game, so personally it's a bit easier I feel to live with that - though yes of course given its professional football you'd like to see him survive contact a little more. Hopefully as his career progresses that will come around. At this point in his career, Adams is what he is. SpeedFlex27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Negatron Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 What an uninspiring game by an offense that had something to prove. Bleh. I'll be shocked if we win more than one game the rest of the way. TheSource 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark H. Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Ok, the spin on CJOB about Manziel is just a tad over the top. Man, Bob & Doug used to be more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, two backs means a receiver sits, hasn't been used since Mike Kelly was here. Before that when all other teams last used it over 20 years ago. Flanders will play I'm sure if Harris or Demski can't go. An extra Canadian (likely Couture) goes to guard & Neufeld slides out to tackle.hardrick sits. Hardly a great way to make the ratio works.

17to85 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Thompkins is a good receiver but seems under used in this offence. He can probably pretty easily be the teams best receiver. Between he and dressler anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Medlock is an underrated punter. He’d make more of a difference if the offence could move the ball consistantly. Edited September 22, 2018 by Mr Dee Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason for that. Recall the play to Adams just before the half to set up the touchdown - Nichols put EVERYTHING he had in into the ball, and it was only a 45 yard pass. Minimal arm strength. trueBlue83 and Deiter Fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 What I also noticed with Nichols is that it never seems like he can throw a ball to a guy in stride on short to medium passes. It seems even basic screen passes or dump offs that our guys have to dive or reach out for them and then get zero YAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Properly thrown, Adams catches that in stride and the DB never gets a chance to touch it or Adams until Adams is in the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the offence played well once they figured out to do without Harris and Demski. nicholls came up with a game changing drive fir a field goal to give the blue a 10 point lead and capped it off with the big play to Tompkins. i thought he was back to his old form in the 4th and kudos to them for overcoming some big injuries.
