Mr Dee Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Reluctantly I must give the game ball to Kevin Glenn. At one point he was 18/20 and finished 20/27 - 261yards He was focused, accurate and followed a good game plan to the letter. We bothered him somewhat, but not enough to through him off his game. And besides….he was closer to 250 yards than that running mouth back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Overall, BC used the short passing game to control game and blunt the blitz (which wasn't very successful) and ran every now and again to keep the Bomber defence off balance. In the last few minutes BC ran the ball to eat up the clock and keep a very impotent Bomber offense off the field. BC executed their game plan to near-perfection and the Bombers did........nothing on offense. No longer a time for a tune-up, but an overhaul. We're about six players away from being competitive.

It's obvious he wakes up in the morning pissed off and angry, compared the jets goalie in the young stars tourney to pavelec 2.0 after one game, what's that tell you really..

Mark H. Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I missed a bit of the second half, but kinda hard to judge a QB when you don't give him time to throw. Or when receivers don't catch the ball thrown directly at them. Pass protection hasn't been that bad in recent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy holds onto the ball too long though, he's always looking for the home run, throws too many picks as he's still learn'in. mfranc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inability to find better import talent for the OL is vexing to say the least. League-wide IMO. There are a couple dominant guys, but even Olafioye looked like crap against us at RT on Friday. Could have been called for tons of holds, hands to the face etc, and he's supposed to be dominant. I thought he was Kirby Fabien at one point because he was having a lot of trouble.

GCn20 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I think that since the CFL became the only league outside the NFL that we are seeing much bigger, stronger, and faster DL talent. Also, the NFL seems to hold onto OL like gold so it has not translated into a bonanza of OL talent in the same way. Also, they are beginning to take a lot of our top NI OL prospects and it is weakening the pool of talent at OL league wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bump... Passing thoughts: I was talking to one of the chain gang officials recently, after that BC game, and he gave me these observations: He observed all 6 QBs throwing the ball in pre-game warmup. All the QBs could make all the throws on the field, to each side etc. but only 2 could throw the ball on a rope…zip-like…QB Drew willy and QB Robert Marve. Paul McCallum can throw a pretty nice pass. Drew Willy is a bigger athlete than he appears, body-size wise. Carl Fitzgerald is an absolute beast, body-wise. Grisby, really fiery guy. Mosley, rah-rah guy on the sidelines, good on the bench. Lirim, funny guy, a bit quirky. Etcheverry, smaller, quiet guy. Mike O'Shea is not always quiet on the sidelines calling out positions, and what to do…very in tune and aware. His manner on the sidelines is real…stoic and even tempered. O'Shea did mention once, on the Coach's show, that he is aware of "Amygdala hijack" and explains why he does not explode on his players when they make mistakes. It's an emotional response in the human brain and when it happens, rather than thinking through a problem and acting on it using reason, the emotions that occur can take over and cause us to act too quickly or irrationally. Interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy already has improved over his few starts with the Riders. The offence will gradually be geared even more to Drew's skill set then things will really start to click.
