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.

He wasn’t on the nose

Yes he was, unless someone else too his #95 jersey.  #97 was playing the three technique.

Love that we showed up. 

Oh zach 

What the honest hell is going on.

Good thing you’re playing against Fartardo, he‘s dying to throw a pick six.

Don’t have a 97 lol

Thankfully I had baseball so I missed most of this stinkfest!

 

just waiting for the als to block a punt on us next.

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

He wasn't Ford's responsibility, he had the flat.

Familiarity breeds contempt. We are too used to winning. And not putting in the work needed to win. 

What happened to Lawler?? I didn't see him get hurt.

Kramdi just too far behind.

Fore arm could be broke 

No pressure on Fajardo...

Looked like he wanted to pull the ball back, but Brady squeezed it.

Looks like he broke his hand

Watching Faj go through his progressions is hilarious.

The big set with 3 dts in the 40 is slowing down a bit. Could use an end to rotate or more 30,

When more than a few starters miss the preseason completely this is what you get, you need reps

How do reps in a game that means nothing matter to this game. That’s a bullshit excuse. Zach is a veteran but looks like a rookie . Happened last year also a bunch. Prob why ppl wanted brown instead. Collaros is 35 36. wtf 1 quarter a week ago gonna do. 

Edited by Goalie

Still think Ford will be a very good corner eventually, he is going to learn on the fly this year.

He had it  in the gut too long to take back. You can’t hold it then pull it.

the 3 dts are slowing down too much to play the 3 dt 40. Need to run more Willy in the 30 with 2.
