BomberBall.

Isn't part of coaching trying to figure out how to use rules to your benefit?

Gross.

Gross.

We've lost one game. We are jumping the gun on anyone getting fired.
We got torched defensively and that had zero to do with roster construction. JY and Richie need to do a better job.

To be fair that was pi there, refs just change the rules from play to play cuz if that’s not pi how is Williams on lawler.
Where is this eye in the sky for late hits on star QBs. They call down cuz bombers are 2 feet short but low hit on QB, nah. It’s just a guessing game. Rule changes are fine. Inconsistent dumb refs tho? That’s this leagues biggest problem and has been for years. Play to play you really aren’t sure what is and what isn’t gonna be called.

J.Smith should start at one of the linebacker spots when healthy and Shay should get reps. If Shay is a bigger liability than Kelly who gets reps then we ****** up on that pick.

I believe you are right, in that it was closer to the sidelines. He didn't have good leverage, though. And it is harder to have great leverage in the CFL, but it's also so much more important. We have 10x more throws that can be made on every play, so the DBs really need to be using leverage to take something away on every play.
Yeah its very short and precise. Great content from fans to players and coaches.
If you give most teams in the CFL what we gave the cats, they will beat you much of the time. BLM, will beat you every single time and walk away doing it.

That’s a great video. The Moxey play was a bit different in that it was closer to the sideline, from my recollection, so less of a fade window and he would’ve been told when the ball was coming, presumably.
I like how he breaks stuff down and really explains the importance of early footwork. I’m going to check out more of his stuff.

Yeah, Moxey had a bad night, but you’re right a few times he was in good position to make a play, but never looked for the ball. Even down our sideline, where you know guys are shouting, “ball, ball, ball!”…. He didn’t get his damn head around. Crazy lack of awareness.

I won’t rehash what everyone else has said but just some random thoughts:
We have way too many guys on this team who are good at many things but not great at any one thing.
There are too many “quiet leaders” on defense; there’s no presence or attitude on that side of the ball. I’m not talking performative nonsense but something that says when we’re on d .. you better be strapped up and ready to go because we’re going to make you earn everything. They certainly don’t have an identity or know what they’re trying to be .. though I guess hot mess could be that identity.
We lack a man in the middle of the defensive line who can eat blocks, take up space, push the middle of the pocket and allow the linebackers to flow.
Is wanting a linebacker who doesn’t over pursue and can step into a ******* hole and bury a guy too much to ask for?
New season. Growing pains and all that. Last night was a brutal exhibition of defense in our home opener.

They overturn that and a corner disrupting Wilson's route that leads to a INT in the endzone isn't PI.
WTF

Anyone is tradeable but the Oilers are going to be bent over to facilitate a trade

I remember an early 90's beat down. 1993, 61-10 against Hamilton. My first Bomber game.

Hamilton doesn't have much of a run game and seems to rely on BLM to Lawler and K.Smith, so a beefed up pass rush seems wise.

yeah....I'd put Vaval in before anyone we have on roster right now really...he is the best option. And if injury concern is a issue then having Singer as well as Cobb on the roster would be the wise move....that be for the overall betterment of roster at expense of Elsbury...so hopefully that happens when ELI is back to full practice
Really looking forward to what JY does with his legit group upfront.
damn!!...well if Kolo beat out the other center....he prob gonna struggle with our front...but woulda loved to see kolo ole'in guys left right and center

I think we are likely going with Texada over Kelly as well. Be interesting now that Smith is healthy if it translates into him and Shay taking on the Woodby role. I like the use of LBers thus far, although maybe a little too much rotation, but guys are seeing the field. With the heavy rotations we saw in game 1, it seems to me that Younger is looking for someone to step up and grab the job at a few positions. I like that. Ride the hot hand if one emerges.

Woodbey listed as having a Calf injury on the report. Wonder if that means he didn't damage his Achilles and it might not be as serious.

One more positive- I don’t ever have to see Kolo on the ground playing nightcrawlers in a Bomber uniform ever again.

I don't think Singer would make a difference, but the depth is ridiculous.
Just shows how poor our recent drafts have been and US scouting too.
We literally have two guys on the O side of that depth chart that can play special teams. Our backups for all the skill positions are Chris-Ike, Corcoran and Daniels.
So like if Tim White blows his achilles in the 1st quarter, those guys are playing the whole game.
We use 2 DI's on LB's when we never have more than 4 of them on the field. Like I get that it's nice, but it's a major luxury when you look across at the O and one injury could leave us basically useless for the rest of a game.

I feel like this is what it has to be ... variety and a multitude of different offensive sets is what I'd expect. Realistically, I think they're going to be giving the opposition a lot of different looks this season, which I don't mind at all. I don't really know if we can trust Zach to beat good teams with his arm, but I do have some level of belief we can beat good teams with Condell being able to create a lot of confusion on what we are doing on offense.

Lord help us no.....Lord help ZC if that the case
