I expect Hamilton will send their whole wrecking crew into our backfield, like they did last year when they crushed us 52-26. and why wouldn't you?

Old Bomber Fan Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I agree with the comment people will try to beat the traffic. Only problem is if they took the shuttle they are stuck to witness what?????? Poor them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) we can win the special teams. 3down nation. re BC beats Hamilton. "The one area Hamilton routinely dominates was one of their biggest downfalls against the Lions. Their cover units were atrocious, as BC gained big yards on punts and kickoffs all night. They averaged over 20 yards per punt return, 27.5 yards per kickoff return and had a 56-yard missed goal return. The less said about the kicking game the better, but Brett Maher was as bad in this game as any kicker I have ever seen. He was 2015 Lirim Hajrullahu bad." our special teams are good. Duffie going to break one soon. Medlock. good tackling. Edited July 5, 2016 by Mark F etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the kicking game, the wind was blowing at 88 mph in Hamltn so no kicker is going to look good fighting against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young center though thats kinda to be expected. 6 hours ago, O2L said: Pretty scared to see what Simoni Lawrence does against our oline and slow release QB. He doesnt have a slow release. plop even mentioned that in the most recent interview, his release is solid and has improved. He gets happy feet once hes been pressured a bit though, doesnt look off wrs, and doesnt pick up blitz shifts well. (show and drop, delay blitz.) The more he gets hit the worse he plays. And I expect him to get hit like a red headed step child against hammer. It could get ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueballz Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I will go into this game with mild optimism (like always). My fear is that it will dimish by half time...(as it has far too often lately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I don't understand the love the ticats have been getting. Without Collaros for some reason they are still a number one team in the east??? I don't see it at all. Funny how the questions fly about how is Durant going to be after not playing for so long, but yet Collaros is going to miss a year with a major injury and the he'll be fine and the cats are a cup contender??? Ottawa is very good and Toronto is too with Ray healthy. I don't see the Cats as a contender. Its a winnable game for you guys. Bombers have to get ahead so they can run the ball. If you get behind and have to pass pass pass, I'm afraid its gonna get ugly in a hurry. As a Rider fan obviously it would be better if you lost as far as standings go, but as a football fan, outside of Owens, nothing to be scared of with the Cats. Make sure Randall is on Owens as he has been the only bright spot in your secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Bombers transactions. Sherman, Johnson and Gauthier - to 6-game IR. Hurl and possibly Corney - to 1-game IR. Flanders and Mayo - to PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty standard stuff for this group - and a very convenient excuse to boot. I'm concerned about special teams, particularly on returns. Always appears our blockers are a step behind their intended block and the only thing available is a block from behind (penalty) or getting lost in space. This is one area that should be strong - particularly because O'Shea was labelled a special teams guru during his time in Toronto. Either our players are too timid to make contact or the set-up is wrong. O'Shea won't tell us because he enjoys keeping secrets. Any other theories on why our ST is average - or worse?

We are 3rd in average punt yards given up and 2nd in average kickoff return yards given up. Top 3 in both categories.

He clearly knows how to get his special teamers ready to play, the rest of the team has other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Well, O'Shea's job as HC is to have the entire team ready to play. Since MOS got here....the constant narrative has been..... that players "want to come and play for him" Great. They can start anytime, now...

Stickem Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 The players want to come here alright (maybe it's the country club atmosphere) BUT the readiness to play for Mikey, seems fleeting at times...They don't seem to get going till the second half...you know after we're down a couple of tds' and the horse has left the barn..(literally in Cal.) O'Shea says they're prepared but we have to kinda...sorta ..........wait for it..Much like the promises that this team will get better in the long run....It's been one helluva long run so far.
