Besides his pass-mostly style, he developed this crazy "max-pro" scheme and he used it a whackton in both seasons. By max-pro, I mean extra hoggies ("jumbo"), RBs, TEs and even RECs being in the box on pass plays to buy the QB max time to hit some crazy deep/long route.I remember Tim White having big games under Condell's offense, I am hoping he regains that form here, as Condell knows White and I expect him to be a key piece in our offensive game plan
Condell would often leave 6, 7, 8, 9 and even once 10 guys in the box. The remaining guys (or guy!) who actually went out had to get open on double/triple/quadruple move routes. A favorite was the entire-field crosser corner, where a WR would be on a go route on one side, then cross the entire field to the other.
It really worked well with speed guys like Speedy B and Tim White.
Aside: As I've said before, Condell used it in-season and it was impenetrable (look at our in-season HAM games). But in the GC's he went straight 5, or 5+1. I think that's part of the reason why HAM lost both.
So my question is: will Condell scheme up similar max-pro ideas here? We're no stranger to it. Buck used a lot of jumbo with 6 & 7 OL, to pretty good success. Hogan wasn't much of a jumbo fan and that may have hurt us in '25. Will we see some box 8, send 3? Or has the max-pro ship sailed, with the CFL not seeing much of it anymore, beyond 6 or 7 in the box?
I'm trying to remember what he did in OTT, and i don't recall much max pro there. However, they were so bad, maybe Condell couldn't do everything he wanted.

Quote from: Blue In BC on March 15, 2026, 03:49:10 PMI think that's should be part of the plan for round 3. We can't add 6 new draft choices to the AR this year. If there is a player that is returning to college for another season, then maybe we draft that type of player.
However I'm all for a flyer to be take in round 3.
Quote from: theaardvark on March 15, 2026, 03:02:08 PMBest. Player. Available.
Yes, OL pipe needs filling.
But we have depth just about everywhere else.
So we go after the guy that will make the most difference in camp.
After round 3, flyers... scoop up anyone with NFL aspirations.
Quote from: theaardvark on March 15, 2026, 03:10:44 PMWe have a UFLP MVP in the wings, we have a number of potentials on our neg list. Every year, a new wunderkind shows up on some team. Hopefully this year it is us.
Sidebar, having Perkins here will give us a very good yardstick to compare the leagues.
Quote from: Blue In BC on March 12, 2026, 03:19:51 PMWell it's a good theory. We've been trying to do that since Brown left. Most of us never thought that Streveler was the heir apparent.
So what do we have today in the wings? That's the giant question we can't answer at the moment. There is a certain level of optimism about the newbies.
There aren't really any CFL free agent QB's that fit the role beyond emergency band-aid solutions.
Time for the recruitment team to have success with those brought in. History has not been good at finding QB's for the Bombers.
The reality is that we won't know what we have until Collaros misses games due to injury. Our back ups don't get much playing time.
