Gappers @ Bombers: The GDT

[Stickem]

The way Zack was being hammered and not pulled was just supremo bull$hit...IF our intention was to go further into the post season we sure as hell didn't show it...We could be an easy out and the other clubs can smell it.... Can we pull a jeckyl and hide routine????IF the plan was to go into that game last night and not give anything away ...welllll we sure was successful....In fact we disguised that effort against the riders so well we were working it into missing the playoffs...

It's just ... Where the **** did the Hamilton game of a few weeks ago come from? How can we re-create that for like 2 or 3 games??

Lol...yeah any stats he gets are rather irrelevant anyway...

Controlling for our existing talent that fills our starting positions (i.e., not talking about any player), what position on O, on D and and on ST's can have the least minimal impact to its lack of consistent productivity?

In other words, what positions can we hide our worst players on all three phases of the game? The answers probably are influenced by the Head Coach, OC, DC and ST Coach approaches right?

Oh I have a few assumptions but I actually don't know the answer cuz that's past my pay grade when it comes to the X's and O's of football.

Well technically DT stats or lack of can be misleading in a good front...dependant on job/role and how it impacts what you doing.

Ideally you don't wanna be hiding anyone but on defence you can have your i guess worst starter at safety especially in a traditional role...so technically know your players and scheme accordingly...as opposed to other way around...we fail Badly here at that

Offence an undersized or less than optimal center can be easily adjusted for with again the right scheme...protections...like slide protections...shifting launch...multiple run looks...but you also need to have an athletic center too...we fail in system(coaching) here at that as well..but Eli tho not undersized is Uber athletic and as center but used like an undersized guy would be lights out

But we have a brain dead HC who can t grasp that...or change

So Cobb has 4 for 44 last night. Corcoran is at 10 for 88 in 17 games. Why had Cobb only had two reps on offense all year prior to last night but Joey is on the roster each week?

Luckily Hamilton signed all our useless DL.  Not much pass rush to worry about.

OL is struggling bad.  Also just played 2 rain games in a row which isn't great for passing.  Really need to save Collaros from himself on forcing the ball vertical.

Not too stick up for Zach but I saw a reply of the interception. There’s only two receivers running routes, like yeah Zach needs to eat it but he’s not getting any favours by the play design or the offensive coordinator.

That was the outlier, the one game that doesn't belong, the one game that isn't the same as the others.

We have 8 games this year where the offense has scored 20 or less. That is just sad and pathetic. 

[ShyGuy]

Does that list include the win against the Argos where they got 1 offensive TD and 3 DST tds?

Funny...guys deemed "not good enough" and expendable here are good enough to make a winning squad and look formidable...and our "better" replacements and guys who cost less are on a team you can arguably say is one of the bottom 2 in league...us and Ott...Edm plays with emotion and fire...youthful energy and all out for their coach...over here...not sure what we witnessing...a lot of i don't give a F out of some guys...cause they know they safe...some of the coaches too

"Gritty" (adjective) def: willing to stand mutely and run onto field when told.

As I've been saying from day 1, qb ain't the real problem here.

I’m not sure about that. Streveler certainly can’t pass a ball. And Zach, well it ain’t hogan under throwing guys by 15 yards or throwing into triple coverage. Thats on Zach. Streveler is finished tho. Zach if he’s willing to manage the game can be effective still. Stev is finished tho. What’s this game plan to make Streveler effective when he can’t pass  sign him as a FB if he’s just gonna run
