He's earned a starting job. But you're easily impressed if you think averaging 50 yds/gm is outstanding. Same with Lawler, he deserves to be starting, but he's averaging 25 yds/gm in the three weeks since his big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with have a guy wet his toes in limited action in a game with no standings implications. Four weeks of scout team reps. Streveler had a full training camp, plus a week of 1st team reps before his first game. We'd be putting a guy in a position where he's almost certainly going to fail. DR.

I just refuse to give up no matter what... I haven't given up as the ball bounces in strange way but to beat teams on the road in the playoffs takes a lot. Everyone at every position has to play lights out to do it. We have little or nothing at qb as I see it which means it's a monumental task. The 88 team meets your description. Sean Salisbury played his best football in the playoffs & Grey Cup. Piggy 1 and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 All you need is a 3 game hit streak, and this team can accomplish that. Neither Saskatchewan or Calgary are juggernaut teams this season. Noeller and wbbfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Knight seems to be well suited for the CFL and definitely has the fire in the belly. Runs like a deer, but I could not find any definitive statements about his arm strength. Maybe next year we will get a chance to see him in action.

rebusrankin Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Is it possible we're doing the rope a dope?Lose the final 2 to Calgary and finish third. Stamps finish 1st. We go to Regina for the WSF and beat the Stamps. Then go to Calgary and stun the overconfident Stamps. This is the Canadian Mafia's plan, right?

Streveler started at qb, im talking about running some option and the short package. Im not saying have him drop back to pass 20 times🙄 32 minutes ago, Tracker said: Knight seems to be well suited for the CFL and definitely has the fire in the belly.

His arm is a long term project to get him with a consistent appropriate base, getting his arm slot and release point where it needs to be etc. He over compensates soo much for his bad mechanics you cant really say how good his velocity will be when he/if he gets it all corrected. Hes one of the wildest passers ive ever seen. But his athletic ability is soo special (especially for a qb to have that kind of quickness/cod speed) that he could be a 3rd stringer in the cfl. He could be the goal line qb / holder and run some wildcat/option stuff. 7 minutes ago, rebusrankin said: Is it possible we're doing the rope a dope?Lose the final 2 to Calgary and finish third.

Nothing wrong with have a guy wet his toes in limited action in a game with no standings implications. Not to mention we also lost our short yardage qb, our holder etc and of the three he has a running qb skill set. Its him or mcguire in those situations, who also has not done it in the cfl. Not like you can ask collaros to do it. here's the thing though... everyone realizes (including the Bomber coaching staff) that getting second place is extremely unlikely.... but it is still possible... so you want our coaching staff to just treat this game like it doesn't matter... even though second place is still a possibility.... that would be quite the loser mentality... tonight should be about 1) winning and 2) prepping for the playoffs... in that order...
