They have the healthiest starting quarterback in the league and overall their starters have not been decimated like much of the rest of the league. Given Streveler's inexperience, their defence is probably smacking their lips, but his tendency to take off with the ball may be a big advantage. I do not think much of their linebackers but their D-line is solid, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 If we complete some passes early......we should be able to run a pretty good playbook. We do have some other playa's on O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I guess we're going to find out this morning how bad the injuries have decimated our team this week when the depth charts come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Dragoon Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I can vividly see LaPolice's brain thinking like this: "Everyone will be expecting Streveler to use his legs (via rollouts, option plays, designed QB draws, etc.) since it is his greatest strength. Since I'm the smartest person in the CFL I will limit him to being a pocket QB and throw 9 times for every 1 called rush/rollout. Sure it goes completely against his strengths, but the other team won't expect it at all! I'm a genius!" This was the same logic that saw us completely take Andrew Harris out of the game plan against Hamilton, who at the time had the league worst defense against the run.

He's throwing all over the field, moving the chains and opening lanes for Harris. Streveler will start the next series. johnzo, Bigblue204, Mark F and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCJenks Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm on the road for work this week and not catching any of the local media updates or discussion. I can only hope Osh is "rope a doping" Maas. I'll miss much of the game live as I'll be on a plane but can't wait to watch the PVR Sat morning and see Maas head explode as Harris has a 200/100 game...

Yeah, me and brother thought maybe Nichols got hurt on the previous drive. Was such a weird choice. But it also speaks to the stubborness of the coaching staff. They obviously planned to have Streveler take a drive or two during the game. And regardless of how good or bad Nichols was playing...that was happening. No ifs ands or buts.

sweep the leg Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 We need to take advantage of Saxelid starting at LT. Pressure on Harris will help hide the fact we've got our 12th string db lined up against Ellingson...

Bigblue204 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Anyone else notice how wide Eli is? lol Not in a over weight kind of way. Just a broad shoulders/hips kind of way. Kid is BIG BONED! lol. Loved seeing him out there. Hopefully he continues to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 So...it looks like Harris is available. If he is a bit nicked up, he may start but be platooned with Augustine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Curious to see what the Kongbo/Jefferson/Mcallister combo will do. Also seeing as we have 2 nationals designated as starters on Defense, thinking if Woli is knicked we could see him subbed out at times for Grant on offence...which would really lead in well to a Streveler lead offence with misdirection and varying versions of sweeps and option runs...

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 They can’t be too concerned about Wolitarsky or Harris because we don’t have an extra NI rostered. If either have to sit we’ll be playing short. One of the HB’s is the likely scratch. BBlink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
