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.

******* Demski.   Another fumble.

The good news is it's only up from here.

 

On this night, we are as bad as it gets.

Yeah this games over. I want to hope it’s just rust. 

Bombers pretty much doing everything possible to not win but still in it. 
 

 

Too many jobbers on the field to win without the QB playing well.

You missed the play where he put a swum move on the centre and took Fletcher down.

How do you give up that kind of f****** explosion play

Earliest I’ve turned a game off in over a decade.

Holm was there. Just mistimed  it.

Problem is, he’d have the same production with 10 reps a game. 

Ford bit hard on that one needs some work, Holm needed to be deeper

Funny. Everything happens in the 4th in the cfl. Teams can score 4 tds in the final minutes. Montreal up by 12.

Holm had deep quarter ford had the under. Holm was a bit slow coming over and went for the knock down instead of following through the play.

Yeah, Holm should have been deeper, there was no safety over top.

Good explanation, cover 3 with the halfbacks and safety covering deep.  Corners had the flats.

Half back deep cover on that set...late getting to his spot
