I think he'll be used more than we expect. It's an audition chance for him.

Noting that the Riders will expect Wilson and White to see the most targets. We need to move away from over focus to 2 receivers only. Need to mix in Daniels and Clercius as targets a few times. Surprise them the Riders with some big plays from Singer.

I don't want to put pressure on the kid, he's 23. A few targets and learn the game is enough for me. They should have done this a few games ago but it is what it is now.

I was thinking the opposite but after reading this I agree

Except isn't singer the complete opposite body type? Isn't he more a water bug, vs 7 foot agudosi.

A lot will hinge on if he catches his first pass or two. If he drops early, Zach and Condell will shun him, just like they do any cold hand on the night.

With his speed and agility im sure they will try and get the ball in his hands a few different ways.

Should be good for some decent yards.

I have high expectations for Singer making plays, but we are prob going to miss Demski's blocking out there.

It's going to depend on how the offensive passing game works tonight. Labour Day isn't usually an easy place to play and our offense has come to life a bit but could easily get shut down pretty hard.

If Collaros is anywhere close to 300, I like his chances for a good game.

I'd imagine Zach is gonna lean on White, Wilson, and Neild for the bulk of his passing volume.

But let's see if they scheme up a deep shot or two for the kid.

That's probably true. However my point is we need to utilize Singer and the Canadian receivers as well. I'd like to see Daniels get a couple of looks too.

Good game to surprise everyone by using Clercius as the hot route over the middle. Nield could do the same but Zach tends to target him further downfield. Can't be throwing any pick 6's this game so those long lazy throws to the far sideline are verboten.

It's also been storming all day in Regina so the real answer could be 25 carries for Brady.

I think the Riders #1,2 and 3 priorities will be stopping Brady by stacking the box. We may have to use play action and RPO combined with some wide receiver screens to widen the defence, as well as some crossing routes and slants to take advantage of the LBs cheating towards the line of scrimmage. It may be a case of having to establish the short passing game to open up the run game. Some Pokey sweeps might help as well.

Our game plan always is having success with our run game to create a balanced offence. Every team will try to shut Brady down. Bad weather makes the running game more difficult.

Brady has been playing angry for the past few games and I suspect that will be true today as well. Big game coming.

Brady wasn't able to sneak out of the backfield, on almost every play he was protecting his QB.

If he was trying to get out for a screen or dump and ssk is stopping him with more than a chip, that's dpi if Zach throws his way. Precedent on this was set a couple of seasons ago. Doesn't matter if it all occurs behind the los.

I don't think that is correct behind the LOS.

Not unexpectedly the Riders stuffed our run game. It didn't appear that Brady was suffering from the injury issue. The Riders just game planned to take that away.

It is. Check the forum archives. It happened and was called in a game. And I think also mos asked for clarification once.

The rules don't stipulate passed the line of scrimmage.

Now, you can kinda get on in the way, and you can chip, but you can't legit impede, especially when it's clear the dude is the legit target for like a screen.

But it'll often go unflagged because for obvious reasons the box is very busy and refs can't see everything. But you can challenge and win.

There is a line between a chip and impeding. It happens every game and I don't remember it being called recently.

You cannot block downfield on a pass across the LOS, but you can block downfield if the pass is behind the LOS, its in the rulebook and every official knows this, its another thing to catch this infraction in real time, your linesmen have got to be on the ball/sharp.

You misinterpreted my post, Brady was fully engaged in blocking every time I saw him, can't recall him slipping through the line and making himself a target, he was stuck in the muck most of the game.

I doubt Cobb was on the field for more than 10 plays, he is rotating with Clercius and Daniels.  The suggestion that Singer replaces Nield is a better solution if they want to provide him with starter reps, but I don't believe they are ready to sideline Nield yet, with his size he still has the potential to make big plays.

Ummm... that's the point.  Roster space needed for Demski, you don't pull Neild, you pull the invisible Cobb.  And have to decide each down which 5 starting level receivers you play out of the 6 available.

Who do you rotate Daniels with?  You realize you can't field 5 receivers plus a TE or a 6th O-lineman? I don't have an accurate snap count but I believe Daniels is out there for most snaps.  If you rotate him with Nield, you'd be cutting Nield's reps by more than half.

You take out whoever is the 2nd Canadian receiver when you use Daniels as a tight end. Move Nield outside in place of Cobb.

That would be Nield.

Pokey
White
Singer
Demski
Nield-Daniels-Clercius
MCI and Eli likely only come on when an Import receiver comes out.

We're not talking blocking a non target player. We're talking impeding the target. Say Brady is trying to leak out to catch a screen behind LOS. You can chip him, especially since he'll be faking a block, but you cannot hold and impede him. You have to let him go to play the ball.
