We can now see the difference between last year's offense under LaPo & having Zach Colaros as our qb instead of Nichols. We push the ball downfield in our passing game. I don't see a lot of 5 yard passes when we need 9 yards kinda thing. To me, it's like watching a different offense under Buck. 

I'm loving how our O is closing out games.  Not seeing many of those fourth quarter 2-and-outs that plagued us during the Lapo years.

They still have a lot of short stuff in but honestly collaros isn't really good at it, but he is real good pushing the ball further down field. Need to play around that more if you ask me. 

At least now we can mix it up & we aren't so predictable on offense with Buck Pierce. And we challenge the secondary of every team we play with the exception of the Argos but we never play well in TO for some reason. I just want to thank Ottawa again for picking LaPo as their Head Coach.

Pierce was a former qb & he calls plays like one. I don't think LaPo was. Just like Jacques Chapdeleine who was a slot & never played qb. He struggled as an OC as well. 

Buck calls a similar game to Lapo but Collaros does not check down - he will scramble to keep a play alive rather than dump off to his last easiest option

The way collaros is finding windows downfield is impressive. He is putting some balls into tight slots and giving receivers chances. Need a few more big plays out ofnthe receivers though. Few too many drops from everyone.

Lapo was a receiver at a Division 3 college. The big difference between him and say O'Shea is players respect Mike because he played at a high level. As a result there is more buy-in from the players.

wonder how quickly they'll roll out Roosevelt ... will be interesting to see if NR breaks the bomber veteran receiver free agent curse.

I think players respect LaPo but again not being a qb sometimes makes it hard as the offense is geared more towrads receivers making reads than being qb friendly.

Bailey maybe Nelson.

Nelson is invisible as a receiver.

  If we use a db to return Nelson works. Or if demski returns kicks. Other wise he should go in for Bailey and Nelson sits for another kr like the rb on the pr

I didn't get that feeling when he was Bombers Head Coach. Maybe @Boochhas some insight.

I listened to the last bit of the Bomber game on CJOB. Bob loved the post hit. Emphatically stating "How's that for a little DAY-JA-VUUU" with a good chuckle after.

 

Twitter is saying something about a Bomber fan that had her underwear ripped off and assaulted in a bathroom at Mosaic? 

WTF?!

From Derek Taylor before the game:

Fajardo has the highest % of attempts under 10 yards downfield. Bombers are the top passing D under 10 yards downfield.

Which is saying something in a league that still has Matt Nichols and Trevor Harris in it.

This was a huge win,we currently own the tie breaker now with Sask and we have em again in our barn next week,Cody will be drinking Tylenol after that beating and were in first place. I checked as well and didn't realise that Saskatchewan hasn't even played a road game yet,this could make it tough for them and may drop them down even more from their cloud 9.

I suspect he gets in sooner than later. I don't think Adams is totally healthy yet.

Life is about to get very hard for the Riders.

I hope not. Either he isnt healthy or the wheels have fallen off. Either way, I hope cam meredith gets healthy.

Adams looked okay to me.

His hands have been abysmal in his few games this year. Under 50% completion % to him. Other then that its just deeking him self out of a touchdown on the one play today and the brutal fumble. Either he isnt healthy or he healthy and he has significant rust from the year off and missing a bunch of camp. Which is reasonable. I hope he gets it turned around soon. 

Jackson jeffcoat 5 games, 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles. And more pressures / hits on the qb than you can shake a stick at. I wouldnt be surprised to see him break the record for forced fumbles in a year this year. Right now hes the front runner for MODP. And 2nd in the chase for MODP is BA.

What more can you say about Harris....He's giving it a 110 percent and looking like he's 24....When he went high and over a db's shoulder I thought he might come up a little nic'd BUT no way....What a trooper and the heart of this club
