Spending nearly four years in the NFL, it;ll be interesting if Streveler embraced the new way qbs throw the ball now. Straight back, different arm slots & strong hip rotation. His throwing style in 2018 & 19 was actually closer to how young qbs throw now & is taking over college & pro ball. . Workers Compensation Board of Saskatchewan. yeah....I certain people will see a noticeable difference....and nore how he looked when he left college and came up to us the first yr

Had he kept playing for Lapo he'd be retired & in a wheelchair by now. Truth. I wonder how strevy would’ve done here in his first go around if he had current buck as his oc the whole time. For that fact, I wonder what Matt nichols and our whole offence then would’ve looked like.

That’s really about throwing guys open, leading them, and them trusting the qb enough go speed turn blind and go for yards. We didn’t do any of that stuff. Dresssler used to get killed on quick passes. We ran a lot of screen and short passes designed to catch and fall over for 5 yards or less.

Who would you say was more at fault? The QB or the coach?

I think it was some thing like 2/3s plop 1/3 Nicholls early to mid and ended up 50/50 post nichols injuries. With buck, pre injury nichols would’ve been real interesting. I think at that point we would need some wr talent but we might’ve developed it too. Edited May 21, 20241 yr by wbbfan

May 21, 20241 yr comment_696910 I missed the game, what was the arm strength like for Wilson? Was he rifling or floating balls and how was his mobility/escapability from the rush. I mostly just want to know if he showed enough or is this a case where we need to call Piggy back.

Solid arm, we didn’t take any deep shots with any qb really. He struggled early but adjusted and bounced back. Impressive poise for a rookie. His mobility was good, better than brown. If he’s our qb3 I’d feel fine with it. Hope to see him finish the next game and start out a bit more composed. All the qbs seemed to be tossing a bit behind and low today. I think the lack of full contact practices hurts qbs ability to get the off season rust off.
May 21, 20241 yr comment_696914 Wilson definitely seemed to have the "just quick enough to make you miss" speed

In the modern game you need line play second only to qbing. Make the ratio work put a line out that keeps your qb upright. Play 6 ol like ham did with June jones if you need to.
May 21, 20241 yr comment_696934 Hard to tell much from this game really. Some solid individual efforts but coaches will be looking at them in context of what the assignments were. That context is important. I loved the physicality of Gemmel out there. Kind of reminded me of Lobendahn. Heavy player you can tell guys playing against him wouldn’t have a fun time. Wilson looks like a CFL QB. Like both his comfort in pocket and on a rollout. Solid arm, mobility when he needs it. Barriere looks like a guy who played at a great school and fit the system.

May 21, 20241 yr comment_696938 I will give more in depth thoughts going forward but it was real nice to see the first D playing a LOT mote physical again. They will get back to grinding teams down. Riders won but that was nothing for them the be proud of. Bombers were looking for certain things and I think they saw them.... someone let barriere know there's an extra guy in the cfl.

May 21, 20241 yr comment_696940 Skimmed through it. Strev can make all the wide throws. Still trucking guys, even looking much leaner than 2019. Barriere needs some work, that was pretty terrible. Terry Wilson seemed like he knew what he was doing, albeit with a lot of jobbers on the field for both teams. All of this granted Bombers didn’t really throw downfield with any QB. On D, #22 McGhee was with the 1’s, was around the ball a lot for better or worse. He had a rough play early where he let KSB pull down a duck in front of him that he should have made a play on. He got in on another breakup to hold the same drive to a FG. Oulette didn’t look like he enjoyed being tackled by #48 Gemmel, he could be a real thumper. Bombers ran a fairly aggressive D for an exhibition game. Rivers, Garbutt, LB Tre Thomas, and actually Schmeckel all stood out to me on plays. ST basically nothing. Ol’ Garcia seemed to be in fine form and the punter had a nice TD saving tackle. Godawfully boring game with atrocious commentary. We’re so, so lucky with our radio guys here.

We are gonna be alright but some. of the bloom is off the rose for several would-be Bombers. It was a very disappointing performance for sure. I am hoping it was just nerves got him and that he will get a 2nd chance in the next game and perform better....but I can totally understand if the Bombers just cut him loose now.
May 21, 20241 yr comment_696944 Overall I was impressed with the new guys in the front 7 playing in the first quarter. They looked good again the Rider starters, played fast and aggressive.

Lot of guys on this forum with very good takes on our 3rd down game. I have learned a lot and have been given a lot to think about from many posters not on your list right now. Some really good knowledge on this forum as a collective, but thank you for the compliment. I think more than anything your list is a pretty good collection of the posters that are the most opinionated....lmao...jk guys. 13 hours ago, Piggy 1 said: Can they provide you with bacon????
