Booch

All and all a good game..and actually a perfect set up for ongoing ones really. Firstly hard to make a true assessment.. 3 drops..wet conditions.. and a tough defense to have first go around with..we wont have to deal with that now again until prob the CGY games. Teams now are gonna really have to prep for the runs..and options..and its gonna be tough for them..especially when we start to add in jet sweeps and other runs..we ran basic draws..off tackles..and the read option.. pretty simple stuff..but I think its a set up for future games..not showing all our cards with Sreveler as starter so to speak...and this alone is gonna end up opening the passing game. If we didnt go away from the ground and pound part way into the third quarter I think we may have actually ran away with it..but went back to it in 4th and pretty much controlled the game after that. We win as a team..defence and ST and if offence doesnt cough it up..will win most..even though EDM had big offensive numbers they only got I think 4 more first downs...T.O.P was pretty much even..yet we orchestrated more offensive TD drives and pretty much held the lead the whole game after edm initial FG...I can live with that..and the beauty of it all..even if we drop next 2 games now..we will still be in first..but I can smell a Rider sweep..Fajardo is gonna be in for a tough task..one I dont think he can manage

Kabongo is getting better and better..was a force all night again too

It's not even that big..195k

pull up some tarps then Schmoes

When I lived in the Oakland/Fran area i saw more Raiders garb on random people out and about than any other pro team from that area

Hows that scarce in a 60 000 seat stadium

Interesting to note that Winnipeg hasn't been dinged for an off-side penalty on offence yet this year..attention to detail and perfection like that will be key moving forward with the Strev

You have to discount the first 2 season's really...since 2016 he is 40-23 as a head coach

regardless of the promoter's total failure...the Bombers pocketed whatever the rental fee was..500K perhaps..more?...who knows...and all the concessions sold..win win in my books Wonder if they keep the turf that they placed to cover up any non-turfed areas as well moving forward

WE played our last home game with the patch already in place...was a non-issue..and bet most people didn't even notice it was there, tho it was brought to teams attention prior to game just so they knew...though the Bombers already did

Not sure why or what the issues are with field other than the goal post patch. The field turf installed at IG is the same brand and spec as about 90 percent of the pro and college stadiums in North America I think all the CFL club field turf types are the same in except for Mtl and and BC..and obviously T.O's natural surface

More than likely they will have a guy spying..if I wast he DC there thats would I would have my defense doing...and that's all the more reason for Lapo to hopefully realize this, or game plan for that's what they intend to do, and to start off his first few series with varied pre-snap motions...best way to combat that, enables Strev to recognize who is vacating and know what coverage responsibilities are.

pretty sure that this will be the game where we might see some ST trickery...also expect to see some brand new formations on offence that will throw Edm off...like has been said in media...I bet we expand on the playbook as opposed to pare it down somewhat

Curious to see what the Kongbo/Jefferson/Mcallister combo will do. Also seeing as we have 2 nationals designated as starters on Defense, thinking if Woli is knicked we could see him subbed out at times for Grant on offence...which would really lead in well to a Streveler lead offence with misdirection and varying versions of sweeps and option runs...

Bombers are getting a flat fee regardless if there is 30 people in the stands or 30 000...so to them they couldn't really car. The stadium and the facilities and the city get prime time exposure, and it also allows the probability of close to 80 players who are not going to stick on the roster or the PR of either the Raiders or Packers to see what a CFL football city has to offer, and the facilities they would play in if they decided to make hat career choice...it's great...free promotion for the Bombers...and believe me a lot of potential players in the south don't give it a second thought as they have a perception things are very antiquated and sub par facility and professional wise..I've heard it first hand...and once they are educated, or actually see it..many are actually shocked Now as well with the Stadiums i BC.SSK..WPG and EDM and to a bot of a lesser extent Ham, each city has stadiums that can rival most in regards to players comfort and amenities

almost hope that Harris is out...or we use his sparingly...allow Augustine to show he can lug the rock just fine, and actually open Lapo's eyes to get him more rotational reps game in and game out...preserve Harris as we go

Grant has ran a lot of plays outta backfield..has also thrown the ball..2 td passes in college He is on roster as it is..swap out Lawler and him for some sets..with him and lucky in motion..along with Harris and Demski.. and Strevs run threat..u see who is covering the guys in motion out wide..exploit the holes with Woli and Matthew's.. and or Strev has huge holes to run through..in open space in full gallop..good luck with that. Also will give Woli and Matthew's lots of big gains...

why tho...Edm has beat Toronto and BC and barely squeeked by Ottawa...They beat Montreal i the beginning of the season, but against good teams..Us..Cgy and the new improved Als, and yup I consider them good, they are winless . So why are they this insurmountable opponent?...they have feasted on the bottom 2 teams...and are under .500 against teams .500 or better

yeah he seems to be a right stud..just imagine him 3-4 games from now when he is really in game form/shape and has a better understanding of the CFL...Scary to think that he is basically learning on the fly and he had no reps at all in camp

good...see how in his first game he can handle the speed and uniqueness of those 3 ends we are gonna trot out there...

Yeah I noticed in last game that they have already entrusted Kongbo to show rush at line pre- snap then drop away into covergae...ala Willie who says that he is an outside linebacker and a DE lol

Re-signed Mcallister...whoop whoop!!..Must be a few games for Roh on IR....Willie..Kongbo...Mcallister gonna raise havoc

Yup..we need to motion and spread the defense..get guys moving pre snap to see who is spying Strev..and where there coverages are. Need to have guys clearing out between the hashes...utilize Harris as the outlet without 7 guys in the box..and if we do a lot of Qb draws and keepers theres more room Also they have to show right out of the gate that we are going deep...I'd prefer a 2 and out with 2 deeper shots right out of the gate..preferably from 2 different launch points than a conservative predictable 4 or 5 play drive and a punt

true...but still not worried haha

trial by fire is the best teacher...push the field..expect mistakes...but play to win...the smart one will learn...and become good...pretty sure Streveler is a smart one and I hope we turn him loose
