Good/Bad/Ugly

[Jesse]

Good:

- WIN
- No turn overs
- Brady "f'n" Oliveria. That's the game people wanted
- Zach played a good game, the lack of targets took away his options in the back half, but took what he had.
- Defence went the opposite route, let in some BAD things in the first half but **** them down in the second. Exactly what we needed when we needed it.
- Keric was solid. He still has more there. Could be a good one.

Bad:

- Those explosion plays against from scrubs. Scrubs.
- The third quarter disappearance. Again.

Ugly:

- Injuries: Demski is our unquestioned MOP and watching him go down was painful. Sterns, who I think took some flak early, has become an important piece. Him going down is also a huge loss. Especially at that position group.

[Pigskin]

I am not worried about ND10. 9-10 days before the classic, Nic will be fine. Sterns could be gone for awhile.

Agree with Jesse.
Will add:
Good:
O-line: opened holes for Brady. Often gave Zach time but no one was open.
Kick coverage was solid and has been all year.
Sergio was perfect on the night.
Bad:
Lawson's coverage on many plays.
Ugly:
Wilson's missed tackle on Theis.
Having to play a half with a receiving core of Mitchell, Wheatfall, Corcoran, Clercius, and Strevler.

On one hand, I'm glad that they put Wilson in for Streveler on SY. On the other hand, I can't fathom why Streveler is seen as a better option at WR than Logan would be, who is a receiving back.

Strev is better blocker than Logan
That's why he was in

Logan also got reps

Based on the score, opponent, physical Mtl D etc. He was the better choice at the time

Good decision and he helped us win the ball game

Lucky to have Strev, can do a lot of things as Lapo pointed out

Logan needs time to get to game speed imo, will be a good asset down the stretch

Add Sheahan to the good.
Add Lawson/Thomas/Smeckel to the bad - did nothing

I don't know if Mitchell can morph into a semi-useful receiver but he sure hasn't impressed so far.  Walters boosted the DB quotient last week by bringing in 2, he needs to do the same for receivers this week and bring in a couple of experienced vets that can help out if called upon.  Can't think of any off hand other than Reggie White, but there must be a few TC cuts from around the league that are still in decent playing shape.

Lawson needs to be replaced before we play Sask; it's clear why he was cut after TC...but oddly he seemed to be as ineffective as M Bridges who we tried to develop over the last 2 years.  If Parker isn't ready, then move Vaval or Houston to that spot...I'd think Vaval moving to field corner makes more sense as Houston has been an effective boundary corner at an all star level.

Amazing punting game
The anti Sheahan crowd got really quiet for some reason lol
Lock this guy up long term, got a keeper there
I always loved his directional punting and he appears to be only but improving

Hoping for Pokey at the end of the month.

My guess would be Logan is only familiar with select portions of the receiver playbook which limits the variety of plays you can call. As a QB, Streveler is more familiar with receiver trees which allows the Bombers to run more of the playbook.

Teams have learned to exploit our secondary... getting Houston back will be good but I think we really need to look at the safety position..

Yup, I'll add to that that Strev is generally pretty smart (even with the "aw shucks").  And didn't Strev do some RECing in the past like HS or U?  He's actually built like a stout clutch REC.  Too bad his one reception was taken away (can't remember why, penalty?).

Strev looked great out there blocking and running routes.  The only thing is he looked like he was dying every time he came off... totally not used to that much running!!

Ya, Logan clearly is either slow from injury, rusty, or just not having the game slow down.  He's plodding and not seeing things well.

I'm pretty sure we think he'll shake that off and get back to what we signed him for.  Good players will do this after only 1-2 (maybe 3) games.  He'll have to improve fast, we sure need it now!

[TecnoGenius]

Good:

Important win.  Found a way.  Down our 2 best RECs (and our #2 as a WR!) with a half to play with a close -3 score... we could have easily folded and/or gotten steamrolled.  (If you offered me a bet in that situation I may have taken MTL!) Have to hand it to the entire org on being well prepared for this one.

Very pleased and proud.  Keep up the progress and the sky's the limit.
