I would suggest that the plan for them was simply to come down hill and do that as a first motion in certain looks/play calls/situations though. Not that they are identifying some code that we leave that secretly means runs. Invariably, there's wasn't much downside to doing so was there? Everyone's gonna keep doing it.

The thing is that teams know stopping Oliveria is the key to beating the Bombers. We're still a run heavy team so odds are good in guessing run in certain situations.

The backside of that is our receivers overall are not the best of the best and our OL doesn't allow time to find them.

I think we, and Brady, would do better if we ran more like Montreal, Sask, or Hamilton. They don't go to the run on most first downs. They keep you guessing.

The key is indeed to keep the opposition Defence guessing.
