JuranBoldenRules Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Starting the Canadian QB as one of their O starters completely screwed over BC when he went down. Another Rick Campbell genius moment. Colin Unger and 17to85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) They may avoid a crossover, but I’m having a hard time seeing them with more than 10 wins Edited August 27, 2022 by Geebrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point I'm making. Not Rourke, O'Connor. He was one of their 7 starters, 4 on O. So when O'Connor couldn't play and they subbed in Pipkin, American, they had to play their Canadian fullback as their tailback to keep 4 Canadians on the field on O. bb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have just adjusted their DL/LB rotation to have one more Canadian on D at all times. Most snaps they play more than they need on D. If you have Rourke and a Canadian backing him up it's not much of an issue, but if you only dress one Canadian QB you can't have that guy as one of your 7. coach17, rebusrankin and bb1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for BC was they declared 4 starters on O but don't have the players to run that without the QB. In the long-term they probably need to start 3 NI OL instead of 3 imports. They play 4 non imports (including globals) on the DL. They often play 2 non import LB's. But they declared 4 on O, only 3 on D. Geebrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC is a horrible team because of Rourke being out. What would be like if Coll..... No I'm stopping right there!!!!! A Domino Effect takes place when a team's best player is taken out like Rourke. Offense stalls. Two & outs take the place of first downs. Scoring is down.... Defense is on the field more. Front 7 gets gassed. Secondary has to actually cover for the first time this season & the skills of each DB is exposed. Playrers started to question themselves & their teammates. Coaches get frustrated as was evident by the actions of Ryan Phillips on the sidelines which probably didn't help the situation at all. Lions swagger was totally gone.... No more being the bully & kicking sand in opposing teams faces. All this from losing Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rourke is not coming back this season. Recovery from that injury is up to a year. BC is living in a desperate world "hoping" as they said for him to return later this season. The flip side to this is that if Rourke can't work out for NFL teams this off season he'll be back with the Lions next season. Might miss training camp, though.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 BC needs to develop a run game. O'Connor can't pass well enough to be viable with his lack of mobility at this level. Shitty arm, yeah can throw far but can't fit the ball in because it has to be a rainbow, so no mid-range accuracy. Pipkin and BC's current 3rd stringer are both RPO type QB's leaning more towards the R. Get another tailback rostered and run to pass. BC's OC is probably the worst run designer in the league over his time. Leaves it all on the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
