Very few deep threats are forced to make contested catches consistently. They are fast guys who strive at getting past coverage so the catches don’t need to be contested. Adams isn’t a burner but he’s very good at getting open deep.

Let's use a formation that hasn't been used in the CFL since the 90's to win us a few games. Alrighty then! Edited September 22, 20186 yr by SpeedFlex27

To a point though it's more understandable with Demski given the size difference between the two. Demski also provides positive things through special teams and the running game, so personally it's a bit easier I feel to live with that - though yes of course given its professional football you'd like to see him survive contact a little more. Hopefully as his career progresses that will come around. At this point in his career, Adams is what he is.

September 22, 20186 yr comment_357225 What an uninspiring game by an offense that had something to prove. Bleh. I'll be shocked if we win more than one game the rest of the way.

September 22, 20186 yr comment_357227 Ok, the spin on CJOB about Manziel is just a tad over the top. Man, Bob & Doug used to be more realistic.

Again, two backs means a receiver sits, hasn't been used since Mike Kelly was here. Before that when all other teams last used it over 20 years ago. Flanders will play I'm sure if Harris or Demski can't go. An extra Canadian (likely Couture) goes to guard & Neufeld slides out to tackle.hardrick sits. Hardly a great way to make the ratio works.

September 22, 20186 yr comment_357229 Thompkins is a good receiver but seems under used in this offence. He can probably pretty easily be the teams best receiver. Between he and dressler anyway.
September 22, 20186 yr comment_357230 Medlock is an underrated punter. He’d make more of a difference if the offence could move the ball consistantly. Edited September 22, 20186 yr by Mr Dee

Recall the play to Adams just before the half to set up the touchdown - Nichols put EVERYTHING he had in into the ball, and it was only a 45 yard pass. Minimal arm strength.

That definitely wasn’t a drop. Sometimes the Play is made by the other team
September 22, 20186 yr comment_357240 What I also noticed with Nichols is that it never seems like he can throw a ball to a guy in stride on short to medium passes. It seems even basic screen passes or dump offs that our guys have to dive or reach out for them and then get zero YAC.

Properly thrown, Adams catches that in stride and the DB never gets a chance to touch it or Adams until Adams is in the end zone.

I'll be shocked if we win more than one game the rest of the way. I thought the offence played well once they figured out to do without Harris and Demski. nicholls came up with a game changing drive fir a field goal to give the blue a 10 point lead and capped it off with the big play to Tompkins. i thought he was back to his old form in the 4th and kudos to them for overcoming some big injuries.
September 22, 20186 yr comment_357248 Not the most exciting game but, probably the best coached effort of these guys, bravo.
