DR. CFL Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 O linemen repeaditly getting beat one on one immediately after the snap of the ball would seem to suggest suspect personnel over scheme issues. MB may have had some issues but bad players are simply that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue204 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Very nice read. Where the **** is this type of stuff in the WFP???? Honestly, for all the posters getting bent out of shape for the back lash at Doug Brown. This is a great article, that's not positive, mostly negative. But a great read. Not convinced on his play design comments, but otherwise very well done with a lot to make you think about. Anyone know if he has other articles out there? - EDIT- Just answered my own question....

Bigblue204 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 It would be interesting to hear his thoughts on MB's time in MTL as well, and why with the same Oline they improved so much under another coach the following year. sweep the leg, Fred C Dobbs and Goalie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 An interesting article that underlines many flaws the Bombers had last year, many of which had already been pointed out, but I get the distinct impression that Bellefeuille is being shielded in this article and many of his flaws were glossed over. It's no coincidence that recognizing our offensive plays did not take wizard to figure out, and it wasn't very hard to 'guess' what play was coming. Even though we may have had inferior players, I'm not sure how good you have to be to overcome that fact.

pigseye Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Even with good players, Marcel has never risen above average in his career. Only great coaches will get you where you need to go otherwise, they will just hold you back. Edited April 9, 2016 by pigseye Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inept and glad he's gone. Edited April 9, 2016 by Stickem missed word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the responses in this thread. Media outlets cater to the lowest common denominator, the gut feels, the pitchforks. No scheme is going to cover Patty Neufeld or Dominic Picard getting their asses handed to them play after play on the interior. We can necro some of the love from the Lapolice thread from when he was hired 4 weeks into the season when the same people have the same complaints and thought the coach would fix it.

The Unknown Poster Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The reason the mainstream media would never print something like that is because the editor would realize that most laymen would get about three paragraphs in and go crosseyed. I really enjoyed it (and I know nothing). If Im a Freep editor Im asking the writer if we can print it. Perhaps including a weekly column that focuses more on information for "deep" fans would be a positive for the newspaper. Because even if you don't really understand a lot of it, it did a good job of explaining things and educating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that simple. Montreal brought in Trestman as HC in 2008. He recognized Calvillo's ability as a quick release pocket passer and developed a max protect system where Calvillo would thrive. Willy does not have the quick release or accuracy that would allow Lapolice to implement a similar system. Unless Chungh continues to improve, Neufeld moves to 6th OL, Goossen steps up and they find an American RT in camp, I wouldn't expect much better results. I don't agree with everything the author wrote, but I do agree that a QB like Willy needs an OL that can dominate in pass protection.

kelownabomberfan Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Give Willy that extra steamboat he never had the past two years and he'll tear every defence in the league a new ass-hole. Fan Boy and johnzo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon37 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 What pleased me in the article is that he recognizes that not all the sacks were on the oline. Willy himself can shoulder some of the blame because he holds the ball far too long. What the author fails to do though is point out that a large part of the reason that the personnel wasn't up to snuff wasn't just the lack of skills but the lack of coaches being able to correct errors and bad behaviours. rebusrankin and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Is it fair to assume that having a back like Harris, who can catch and who is strong in pass protection and two receiving options like Smith and Dressler will take away some of those issues?

It will help, but effective offence starts with protection from the interior. Khari Jones could tell you what can happen when you have weapons at the skill positions but don't have adequate protection from the OL. Heck, Lapolice knows about that too - the more things change...
