Elks at Bombers GDT

[Nolby]

We should win this, need to see Zach put up solid #'s, defense needs to contain Ford, dont let it be a trap game. LETS ******* GO!!!!

[no71]

1-0

And some vibes like the Edmonton game in Winnipeg last year would be much appreciated

[rebusrankin]

Let's go Bombers! For the W!

I'm town for a nephew's grad today... Not sure I'll make the game, but we'll at least have it on the TV tonight. So ******* good to be home on a motherf***in game day!!!

[BaconNBigBlue]

Would like to see Zach get on track this game.  His strong suit is no longer the deep ball, so game plan short and intermediate throws and it should be a cake walk.  Mix in some runs to keep the defense honest and we should handle them pretty easily.

I think if we handle and frustrate the Elks D-line and run game early we should take this one with little resistance, but IF that D-line and/or running game get some traction against us, they could make it a game.

I don't want either their D-line which "should be" really good based on personelle or their run game get any momentum. We know If we can handle the Edm. defensive front the backend isn't as strong, and Ford while an amazing sandlot player isn't going to beat anyone playing a passing game in the pocket.

Add in 30,000 plus fans, and perfect weather, we should be set up for a "happy ending"

[ShyGuy]

I hope Hogan and the offense can go 3 for 3 on opening drives. Elks aren't going to have much fun if they are playing from behind all game.

Now we just need the eight other teams to follow suit. Paging Mr. Commissioner.

And dat would FINALLY be a good game!

[Arnold_Palmer]

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of adjustments the offense can make. A+ for Hogan week 1, call it a generous C+ game two. Really want to see Schoen pop off as he’s been good not great so far. Hopefully Cooley continues to get a little bit of a bigger role today, and wondering what kind of plan we’re going to have for a good Elks D-Line. Hopefully quicker, shorter passes to open up the intermediate to deep throws instead of Zach chucking it deep in double coverage.

He's well aware!

CFL has momentum, but ‘not sustainable’ with only 2 teams turning a profit, commissioner says | Globalnews.ca

 

[JohnnyAbonny]

Edmontons D line is the only thing I’d be concerned over. I hope the OL can handle Ceresna, he’s given them fits his whole career. 
I see this as a closer game than the spread. Short week and all that. Think we take over in the 4th but the Elkses keep it tight. 
 

[rebusrankin]

I hope we see more 6 oline sets with Eli and some quick passes tonight.

[M.O.A.B.]

I want to see Eli rush for TD. 😁

Keys to the game 

ol. Pass pro especially, but also opening gaps for the run game. 
 

Zach get sharp, and quick. He had some pretty brutal throws last week. We need him to play up to expectations not down to a bad team. 
 

Wr core step up. Keric has stepped up but as of yet no one else has and we need a lot more to elevate their level of play. 
 

players to watch, the front 6, vaval, Wallace, both RBs, vaval, ayers. 

[Booch]

My keys...O-line needs to continue to work in the fluid blok schemes...move the pocket....keep with the blocking switches they been doin

Off. plan to focus on possession and quick passing game...even some tempo....Mix in Strev...use of both backs

Defense needs to use the more athletic front....mix up coverages and use different responsibilities for back 8 within the same look....Will confuse Ford and cause multiple turnovers 

Foot to throat all game...even if up by 3 scores by half...end game up by 6....
