Dodge and Burn

We won with Nichols didnt we? So between Nichols and Strev it looks like it does matter who plays QB yeah?

Idk bout that. You have been crying all year for Strev to replace Matty... Did your wish result in better results?

Uh huh... There is always another fish in the sea...

What happened to your man crush on Strev??

Yeah he is making strev look bad..

Well...This first half performance is kinda what I'm saying. Hes a bit player at this point.

Yeah Lapo needs to make better reads and pass the ball better. Smh

This team is built for the O to not makes mistakes, (like turnovers) control the clock with the run and complete shorts passes. Our D is really struggling right now, same as our specials. To say Strev throwing picks is the last of the worries.... Id say it makes or breaks us.

Seems like many variables are going against us this game. Almost feels like a tipping point type game. Our D and ST need to win this game for us. If Strev continues to turn the ball over we are sunk.

MBT would be light years ahead of what we have to play with right now.

Strev is now 2-3 Matty 9-2 I want a a qb that wins games...

Until Strev wins like Matty has, I will remain on the fence. Im not blinded by how fast he runs or how many guys he runs over. Or how he looks in his inform. Can he protect the ball? Complete passes throughout the tree? Can he win? The only metric that really matters is wins. Right now hes just the shinny new sports car thats fast, whats under the hood remains to be seen...

Last year in regina. Against us when Buck was our QB. Fyi

Yeah ok? Harris didnt absolutely own the riders last year in the semi.... And hes won a cup... You're wrong.

"Work in progress" is cute... Its brutal, so far we can work around it...

Strev looked like **** in the passing game. Thats the only way to view it...

So far in this game... Its pretty bloody obvious that this team is not built for ANY qb to carry it. What a half by our D. WJ is a monster

I think Edm will run blitz and spy Harris all night until Strev makes them change. OR they rush 5 with thier dominate front and play zone and bait Strev into making reads... Either way we are gonna get a good gauge on where or QB is at.

Good recap and preview? Not sure what you're saying here... Nichols may not have single handedly won any games this year, he sure hasn't done alot to lose games with turnovers on the other hand. The Bombers success in the last half of the season will depend heavily on Strev protecting the ball and making teams not stack the box in attempting to stop Harris. I see teams blitzing the **** out of us until Strev can prove he can beat it.

Weather is gonna be nice for the game, I have my fantasy draft during the game, cant wait for Friday! Im expecting the Esks to load up with people in the box and sending people from the edge. Strev...here's hoping he can beat the blitz. Hope we attack the seem and second level over the middle. I think we do enough on D and specials to win. Bombers 24 Empire 19

Just wait and see for yourself....

Making decisions as a QB is fundamental, making the body do what it has to do to make those decisions a completed pass are different. He cant make every pass in the tree at the pro level. At least to this point. What im saying is, he may make the right reads on given plays, but he does not have the goods to complete passes on a regular basis to be successful. Point being , last game, the roll out left pass to lucky where he looked liked an interpretive dancer.

That only works when the QB can make the throws when called on, and when he can, make the reads and make the throws. Because Strevs mechanics are so bad he cant make the various throws a successful pro QB needs to. Strevs running abilty may offset the pass yards ratio by maybe 30 yards per game. Pretty much nothing. His int last game rolling left was horrid mechanic wise. Did not point his left shoulder, he fliped his hips in the wrong direction, he basically jumped, flipped his upper body left and used his throwing arm to huck it. He has not shown he can complete passes in the tree at a pro level. Sure he has some sucesss in bit moments. But through a 4 quarter battle where you need a QB to adapt and make completions throughout the passing tree, Strev just aint there yet. EDIT: After a Qb is passed 18 years of age its very difficult to change thier base mechanics....

If Nichols passes say around 225-250 ypg in this offense. Im preparing to see that drop by an average of 75-100 ypg with Strev in there. I dont see him being able to consistently complete passes yet.

Willie was an absolute beast last night. Good sign that Bighill was noticable. He must have a lingering injury, he has been invisible to this point. Oline played a good game. That play by Couture in the open field on the Lucky screen was a beauty.
