Can't really decide if BC sucked or Sask got away with a freebie from the refs. I love our secondary against Lucky and Burnham,gotta keep Reilly under heavy pressure so he can't go through his reads properly.

BC didn't seem to have their best game vs Sask even when losing. I hope tomorrow night just doesn't wind up being one of those where they get momentum and just fire on all cylinders all night. They've got scary talent on offense but I can't wait to see our defense match up.

The Lions' O-line is barely average at best, and Reilly is older and slower than he used to be, so if the Bomber front seven can get a decent push, we ought to be OK.  Reilly is living on borrowed time, and one good hit and he's sidelined. Can't let him get outside, though.

Can't give the rec time to get down field either. I'm not confident in the match ups with Lucky or Burnham. You gotta double one of them.

That's why pressure on Reilly is critical. He may not be the Reilly of old, but given time, he will pick our secondary apart.

Reilly will take the hit to make the play. He beats the blitz with reads and release, not by running. Blitz him and Whitehouse will have a big game. Send 4 and cover.

I don't think blitzing constantly is the game plan. We can get pressure with 4.

Reilly has been hit so many times his internal clock will tell him to break the pocket and expose him to hits.

Although I don't really consider Reilly to be a guy that is scared to take a hit.

Definitely take away the mid/long range stuff and he will burp the baby.

You also have to worry about Cottoy and Shaq Johnson.  The Lions have a pretty good recieving corps.

Yeah Bombers need to get pressure without constantly blitzing....which is something we're pretty good at. Hopefully the Jeffs get to him fast enough.

Plus we will have stove back. 

Depth chart shows Stove, Grant and Wilson are a go.

 

In Wilson, Grant, Stove!!

 

 

wonder why Mauro was taken off for the Global DB?

maybe missing assignments on special teams?

he seemed to be doing real well....among top 10 in ST tackles as well...

All that lineup is missing is Medlock,what a starting lineup!

This is the team they wanted to field from the start right? Man I can't wait to see the D in their final form.

There's probably no issues with Mauro. O'Shea probably just wants to give Sergio some game experience and reward him with a game cheque after hanging out on the practice roster for a year and a half.

Fwiw...

Missing Johnson on Defence...but yes this is as close as we've been I believe.

Sucks for Sayles, but that's a good thing for the Bombers.

I think Darby is better than Johnson.

Maybe its a personal issue? Idk strange. Perez has been here a long time. Nice to have a back up DB. Maura looked like a beast though.

Tbh I wouldnt take any db out for johnson. He'd be nice as a DI for an extra db but this D is certainly the best we could field other then mercy maston. If he and johnson were healthy right now I think johnson would be cut. 

Hallett would be great to have back for depth and teams too.

100%. 

I think Darby is playing more than fine, but it is sort of hard to evaluate after Johnson plays about 1Q after sitting for 2 years.

Johnson was getting a lot of positive press in TC.

Regardless, being pretty healthy heading into the home stretch is a great feeling. 

I hope we get BC in lots of 2nd and longs because then we'll see fronts with Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Kongbo, Wilson, Rocquemore and Bighill.  Anyone can rush, anyone can drop out and cover.  Good luck.

I wonder if Shiaffinio Perez is coming in simply bc we’ll need extra db help vs lb help (Maruo) due to Lions’ strength at passing attack vs negligible run game?
