Mr. Perfect 1455 Report post Posted June 24 Edmonton doesn't really scare me to be honest. BC is a mess. Montreal's joke of an offence had them on the ropes.

If the Bombers' defense can rattle him early, it'll be a long night for #7. And the home crowd should only exacerbate that. 2 Mark H. and Piggy 1 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Montreal and BC aren't the strongest competition to start the season. Bombers handled BC easily while playing a sloppy game, Edmonton will be good but they aren't juggernauts yet. 1 shadybob reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True about BC and Montreal but they still looked dominant against those teams. We did not dominate BC that way they di. But we also didn't have Matthews etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
17to85 11703 Report post Posted June 24 I would suggest rewatching the game against BC. An uncharacteristic kick return td and some iffy pass interference penalties made it seem closer than it really was. 2 5 wanna-b-fanboy, BigBlueFanatic, Piggy 1 and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our defence held them to one touchdown and 4 rushing yards. 100 of Reilly’s passing yards happened on two plays and that drive resulted in a whopping three points. 1 Mark F reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hall's defence, (like most) is predicated on pressuring the QB... D-linemen getting mugged with no flags, makes it very hard to bring pressure. The refs were calling an inconsistent game and we were on the short end of the stick more often than not. 2 JCon and shadybob reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really feel like elizondo was not as good as everyone thought - think Harris will totally step up now that he’s got a new OC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geebrr 1600 Report post Posted June 24 (edited) Keep in mind Maas worked with Harris in Toronto. Plus Jaime Elizondo was a position coach when Maas was OC in TO so likely had some similar offensive tendencies. Harris has benefitted more from familiarity than most being on 3 different teams in 5 years. Edited June 24 by Geebrr 1 Mark F reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HC for the 2016 season, I was wrong about him being their for the RB G.C. win which also happened in 2016, still he spent time with Harris in Ottawa prior.

Booch 4701 Report post Posted June 24 what Harris has done against Montreal...and BC (WHO GUTTED THEIR DEFENSE) means not too much in my opinion...lets see what he can do against what should be a top 2 defense in the league, with some game film to be studied.. 1 kelownabomberfan reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon 4080 Report post Posted June 24 (edited) My concerns are that Harris thrives in the medium passes hitting receivers in stride. Our soft zone gives me concern as the receivers will be open and unless we get massive pressure he will pick us apart. Last season his two games against us he had 361 and 349 yards passing!
