Just getting things started for gameday.

 

Strevy is certainly an all time character. But he hasn’t been even as good this year at running as prukop was for us last year. Five years older and no longer (at least so far) the unstoppable force he was.

I give him credit for throwing for some yards against Calgary but he also one hopped a lot of passes. Tonight would be a great time for him to have a career best game.

Lucky is in town. Maybe he can sit in section 141 again.

 

Really feel like we need the W tonight badly. Also curious when the boo birds come out. They were out last home game a bit. 

I want wade miller coming  if we losing like stone cold in the attitude era kicking peoples asses and chugging miller lites and lastly hits a stunner on O’Shea to send em packing and the crowd home happy

Lucky is a fun guy to watch. Surprised no one has signed him yet, but glad he looks like he might have another shot!

100% ~ Fans love him. I happened to be in the stands in 2018 when Streveler showed up for his first practice. Something special about him, the casual the way he bounced the football off the turf watching and waiting to take reps but you could tell the dude was wired. Hopefully he remembers he doesn't have to do it all himself. 

I watched his firstsession here...actually after the Bombers practiced as he hadnt technically signed yet...Had him throw all the throws to Bison recievers...and to targets.....he was just nailing them all...dropping back and throwing on the run like a QB....If they allow him to do that,....he will do very well

Nice night for football. Not sure which way it will go but happy to get some info on Strev as a starter. 

Lol @ Ed Tait. "It was the weirdest thing..when Streveler came in the young receivers weren't being ignored anymore". Was it weird, Ed? Really?

I asked the same question on here and I believe @wbbfan gave a similar answer as Wally.

Well in Zach’s defense it’s a three down league. Anytime Zach went in their direction it was either a drop or a bad route from the receiver.He had no issues finding Wheatfall in the Ottawa game, you gotta prove you can move the chains.

Prukop was hot garbage running last year.  He fumbled and tossed a pick in the strevy package last year, and strevy has run for similar yards in 4 games than poopkup did in 15. Poopkups sneaks came up short a few times too.

They are basically all must wins now.  If you played .500 the rest of the way you'd finish 7-11.

You can't lose twice to the Red Blacks in the first 5 games and think everything is going to be alright, it's a must win game tonight, no excuses.

It's 1000% harder to pass protect for a scrambling QB in the context of blocking on 5-7 step drops where the scheme is to have the QB deep behind centre and you blocking flows from that idea.

Now, in terms of overall blocking....with a running QB or a QB D's view as a run threat it is way easier to run block.  There's more space.  When Collaros is in the D isn't even counting him as a potential runner.  Going to be a 180 with Streveler.  A ton of stuff both run and pass you can run off this.  And we should because Streveler isn't going to do 5 and 7 step drops and fire accurate lasers all over the place for 4 quarters.

It should be way harder for the D to defend an offense with Streveler out there if we've schemed properly.  They should be in a bind all night.

I think if we win the turnover battle, limit brainfart penaltys, dont allow the explosion plays, and just get after the QB a little more we will win big. Otherwise it will be another close game. I do feel real good about this one though!

I wish that was the only time he did that..

Pass rush is huge.  If Dru gets to set up where he wants and stay on time he'll get in rhythm and probably throw for 350.

Brown is smart and if we give him time, he will pick us apart. Our secondary is shaky to say the least.

I was saying before, I think (if anywhere) our pass rush on the edge is where Ottawa can be had. Their OTs aren’t the greatest

We have been uncharacteristically undisciplined with penalties this year bad with our reduced production that doesn’t help. 

Hopefully we ride the right guys on the defensive line with majority of the reps...the players who offer the most..are the most versatile...and allow us to be creative...

We do that we will see a huge diff in qb pressures

Dru rockin the pornstache!
