September 7, 20186 yr comment_353665 Hardrick & Flanders draw in tomorrow.... I like it! This is however a sign that there is going to be more short passes in hopes of YACs piling up! Clearly a move to get Nichols more comfortable. Hopefully it works out and they can sustain some drives... but I can't see how this changes the Riders game plan at all. Take away the short stuff and let them try and beat you deep.
September 7, 20186 yr comment_353668 Ed Tait @EdTaitWFC 17m17 minutes ago The #Bombers 46-man roster features 5 changes to the 46-man roster. On are CB Robert Priester, OL Jermarcus Hardrick, Cody Speller and Qadr Spooner and RB Timothy Flanders. Off are Dressler, Morgan,Leggett, Rush and Foketi. Leggett and Foketi moved to 6-game inured list.

Not necessary...this is also a good way to pull more of the linebackers and the D-lineman they drop off closer to the line...into the box and freeing up space more in the mid to intermediate zones eliminating the congested zone coverages the Riders like to run. Probably if anything give us some more 1 on 1 match-ups with Adams..Thompkins and Woli to be honest..
September 7, 20186 yr comment_353676 Tougher to key on Harris, when you have both Demski and Flanders, in some of those hybrid formations, we have seen before.

I think there will be lots of short passes b/c Nichols probably won't have enough time for longer developing routes. I don't think it's carved in stone yet that Hardrick is starting.
September 7, 20186 yr comment_353681 So we took Dressler off the six game early yet he might end up missing six games? Did he have a setback or something? I’m estatic to finally see Flanders play,

September 7, 20186 yr comment_353685 looking at depth chart we have 3 extra oline man ...and ony 21 canadians listed...so to me looks like they all dress with just Wild sitting...Or Hardrick is actually not gonna play and is a smokescreen, and we dress 2 extra olineman with Wild drawing in....either way..I thin k we are going to be doing some run heavy and creative run plays to wear down and spread out the Rider defense

Sitting Leggett out is a sign that his time here is done. Too bad.

O'Shea keeps saying that Nichols continues to grade well, and describes all the things he did last year...getting rid of the ball fast, making good decisions etc. What a joke! If that is the result of their grading system they need a new one. If they keep grading Fogg well enough to stay on the field despite his poor play lately, can't tackle worth shi*T...again they are in need of a new system!

I'm going to call in next week and ask him how Sam Hurl graded last season! He never saw an issue with him either!

MOS recently addressed Hurl. He didn't praise his skill, he praised his work ethic. Said that he worked non-stop, harder than anyone else on the field. They obviously didn't grade him that high or he would have been back.
September 7, 20186 yr comment_353700 sounds like someone else lately who says they work really hard, and are at the stadium for 5am every morning! Interesting stat from the Bomber website: 46%: The Bombers second down conversion rate over the last three games has dipped to 46 percent, after being at 53 percent through the first eight games of the year. In their last three games and 70 second-down situations, only eight have been for second-and-three or less. That means a whopping 90 percent of their second-down situations have been second-and-four or more. Further proving that Nichols more often than not, defaults to the 2 yard dump pass.... so when O'Shea says "he's putting the ball where he needs to" what exactly is he watching??

I feel like someone should do a stakeout at IGF and test this theory. Wouldn't be surprised if this isn't actually happening.

September 7, 20186 yr comment_353706 Fans have been asking for Flanders for a while, now we'll see how much he means to the offence. Main difference on offence (imports wise) this year to last, Denmark gone, Flanders out. well, also Bond gone. I would like to see Harris get some plays off. Should not be up to him. Think maybe Denmark was always undervalued. One thing he didn't do much, was drop passes. probably useful, for a receiver. Anyway, since according to the team, all is well with the QB, hope Flanders does the trick. Edited September 7, 20186 yr by Mark F
