GDT Can the Bombers D shutdown the Als?

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?

    FAJARDO BACK TO PASS! JAKE THOMAS WITH THE PRESSURE! FAJARDO FUMBLES, OH NO! GAUTHIER PICKS UP THE FOOTBALL, HES GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE! 60-3 BOMBERS LEAD! The crowd goes wild, Booch’s head exp

  • there were a few of us who said it.    Now I think most of tonight was squarely on not playing in preseason for most of the offensive starters, but yeah Collaros has seen some really concern

    No eye rolls here. If it was the Bombers I’d be laughing and saying “well, they could have stopped it instead of crying about it”. I’ve always felt that way about running up the score. Fair game.

Fajardo more pass attempts than Zach has yards. 
 

it’s rust tho lol. 

That happens when you don’t complete passes… the other team gets more top and snaps 

Gauthier with no push. 

If that was any of the imp lbers he doesn’t get it 

Is Collaros going to do something this next drive? Who knows.

I do t think he was in

Wouldn't have mattered would have been first down for Montreal cuz we were offside. 

Bombers need to pull their head out of their f****** ass

I didn’t think so either, ball never crossed until his forward progress was stopped. Offside tho so doesn’t matter anyway

If we lose..due to a flat offense...and asked post game Osh won't admit it was a poor idea to not get in any reps...garuanteed

I bet if ZC played a few quarters...it be diff...they raved how on point and good he looked in practice...rarely translates when u haven't played in 200 days

I bet if buck remembered we have a ******* wrecking ball of a rb it'd be different too. Run the ball!!!

I’m at the game and it seems to  me that Thomas is playing an INSANE amount of snaps.

It's not rust tho...bad throws...

The most of any dl so far. 

Zach looked similar last time we played the als.

Your not wrong...and those the plays we usually give up more real-estate 

Collaros has less passing yards than losses from two sacks.

Peak play off form

He has trouble against NT defense.

I'll give ZC the rest of this half to turn it around, if not Stevy time to start the 3rd

His father? How old is he??

Just look at the Faj scramble and 95 in the back..jogging it out...then watch 94 come outta nowhere from backside and take down the ball carrier..that right there should be enough to dictate who should be getting major reps...

Go hurry up keep strevy in
