Every bomber fan knows that the offence of any team in the CFL takes longer to develop than the defence. The linemen and the blockers behind them need to know what's happening immediately beside them, how to adapt to their fellow teammates. The running backs need to know where the holes are going to emerge. The blocking schemes on passing plays have similar challenges. You can't learn this in practices...

The Bomber Brain Trust decided player evaluation for the few positions that were open was far more important than getting the veterans in harmony with each other. So we have major rust to deal with, more so than usual this season.

There has been such a major talent improvement on our defence that just maybe we can shut down what was a very hot offence in Montréal at the end of last season.

On offence Brady Olivera is going to need a lot of determination as he tries to guess where the holes will be as his O line feel each other out. He's pretty good at seeing what is developing. If he gets 50 yards of rushing that would be pretty good. I'm not sure how open he will be on checkoff plays and other swing passes.

Collaros is going to get sacked a lot on many missed assignments. But he can scramble and is very good at it. He loves the long bomb and we can only guess how many touchdowns he will throw. That's how the offence is going to score, I suspect.

What I think will make or break the game tomorrow is how many touchdowns the defence can supply on turnovers. Maybe one pick six and one or two forced fumbles. There is a real chance pressures on the quarterback will be up significantly this year.

How else can we win this game?

Strevy Time

Ugly pass again that was a suicide toss damn

ok I dont want every single post I make to be about Zach, but, jesus christ

God Almighty this offense is extremely Rusty...

Zach not making the easy throws even 

Missed him again damn 

Sure was good to not see a snap in pre season

Rust is real, pre season matters. 

Wide open. Terrible throw. 

You know how sometimes you can leave lettuce in the fridge too long and then the next day its all rusty and brown? We kept the wrong QB

ZC needs some reps and with no preseason it will be trial by fire tonight

good lord...

 

So fn close

Lawler gets that 9/10 times I feel.

That’s not rust. That’s just a bad throw.

He threw the pass to schoen to the wrong spot too. Not even close. He towards the side line it’s an easy score. 

These the plays cumulatively as game winds down that lose you games

When every single throw is bad, its rust. 

Well... that was a squandered opportunity

It was. Correct decision to hold it. He throws that to the read and it's an int.

Goes hand in hand with not playing at game speed where guys are trying to bury u

That’s not from not playing 1 Quarter vs cuts either. Just bad throws. 

Jake Thomas still in, no dt subs in yet.
