Blue In BC

#45
It was one game but both Allen and Vaval played well on defence. I'm not sure what changes if and when Parker is healthy. That could be as early as this week.

The defence did look gassed in the 4th Q. Many of us have wondered whether another DL would help. Obviously Woods is a ratio change, but Lawson could also help. I don't know which Canadian we'd take out to get him back on the AR.

Football is a 60 minute game and the team has struggled with the last 2 - 3 minutes in the last two games.  They have to figure that out.

Road game against the Als is never an easy thing but they have some significant injuries and will be starting their # 3 QB.  4 top players of theirs are on the 1 game IR.  The game will be easier if they all miss this game but they all could just as easily be back.

One game at a time.

I've noticed him a TON on ST.  When I did my Hallett deep dive, Holm was in every time Hallett was out, and in sometimes otherwise too!  It sucks because #21 and #31 look the same when the jerseys start scrunching, and they are both the same look & body type.

Did you see the Pickett interview last night?  They said they can't keep him off of ST.  Some guys are eager to do it all.  You want to stifle that?

Maybe what we can start doing is reducing his ST load.

Yes, if Holm gets injured on ST (or D) we're royally screwed.  The great thing with him on D is no one tests him so he gets like only 2-4 instances of "work" a game!  Can't get contact injuries if you're mostly just running around on your own covering guys that don't get attempts.
Never go full Rider!

...Or we could just say, "Evan, you're our best half back by far margin and if you break your leg covering a kick it's really going to hurt our chances. We're going to have one of our 400 linebackers dressed tonight run down there instead."
