  • He is already full blown Edmonton. People don't get to oh so proudly jump off the band wagon and then jump back on. Not how this works. You quit on the team in the bad times you don't get to celebrate

  • Please Lord, let the Bombers play a decent game to open the season and not one which looks and smells like 2015, 2014, 2013 etc etc.

I would say so. I can't personally imagine Dressler having a ton of success at wide out. At least compared to his ability When he plays inside.

He'll likely be lining up against a weaker DB out there as well. I don't mind him out there, He has the speed to get open and runs nice enough routes that it'll make him hard to cover basically anywhere.

He'll be inside a few times though.

Is putting Dressler at wide gonna hurt him? He's played slot most of his career and is more suited being that he's only 5'7

It's the CFL, these days the distinction between WR and SB is pretty minimal because teams are always moving guys around trying to find favourable matchups. Dressler will see passes inside don't worry.

Love our starting linebacker core

Why is Randle not at boundary?

Why put Dressler at WR and Adams at SB?

 

Many people have said this already, but remember this is just a depth chart. It doesn't accurately display where guys at WR and CB are going to be lined up. Dressler will play slot, Randle will flip sides (I would think following carter around). 

Lapo is not a guy who's going to lock in receivers to a single spot.

Do you honestly believe the training staff would give him the go ahead if they thought it would cause long term problems?

Has Willy ever been put in a game that he had no business being in?

I think what we are doing is using smith to play under dressler. This can create a lot of miss matches and openings for smith. We used to do this with milt (and other teams like edm and mtl have done this too) Playing 2 strong pass catchers beside each other heavily limits the double cover ability. If they do it, it leaves gaping holes and a lop sided defense. Arland bruce, robert gordon and a few others really made a good living of this.  It also opens up screens to one side, delay hand offs like a counter trap, and end arounds.

Adams was at SB all camp, so it makes sense that he stays there. Obviously they feel good about having him in the slot. 

From what O'Shea said in his presser, our secondary won't officially have boundary HB and CB. They'll have certain guys on certain guys.
