Hamilton at Winnipeg - pregame discussion

[Pete]

A lot of talk about ticats qbs, I have some concerns with our qbs specifically Streveler, isnt that 3 games in a row hes been stopped on short yardage? Twice it appears yo be footwork issues and maybe timing.
 He should be as consistant as Stevens but something's off. Even when hes in on 2nd and 3 hes not running as effectively as in the past
 Teams have no respect for his arm and unless buck has him establish that threat it will be tough.

Pretty disappointed with what they've got out of Strev. this year, thought he would be busting free at least a couple of times a game for big gains, and we're half way through the season and I don't think he's had a single run over 10 yds. It also seems like he hasn't been given permission to throw the ball, if Buck wasn't going to explore his capability as the next starter, wonder why they moved away from Prukop?

Yup. Not only are we not getting the big trick plays, we're not even getting basic short yardage production.

I'm guessing Strev. isn't too happy with the situation so far, if the Bombers had any cushion at all I'd be happy to see him start 2 or 3 games but that opportunity evaporated with the poor start.

I never had any interest in him starting games. I just thought he'd have a cool 3rd down package and would take advantage of a hurry up offence in specific situations.

I wonder if injuries and the ensuing struggles on offense early in the season factored into things. It seems like Pierce has kept the offense pretty simplistic to this point.

[Blue In BC]

Strev ain't a great QB.  But he is a darn good football player.

I too would love to see him run the RPO, or a form of wishbone, and lastly even as a blocking back or tight end..  just get him in space, and let him bowl people over. I mean if I can develop a package of  plays, I am sure Buck can. Lol!

Letting the road graders, with a couple extra linemen, and a Strev is heavenly.  However, that can be. Brought out in the division semi final, or Cup.

Not something I want to bring out in a play off game. Do it during the regular season so opponents will have to plan for it.

We saw Streveler trip over Bryants legs, and have troubles getting through the line.

I think its time for the "step forward, drop back" play that worked so well before.

We need Lawler of Demski on the wide out, one on one, for the jump ball on 2nd and 1.

[dd]

I like the notion of Lawler at wide out on 2nd and 1, and throw the post pattern and let him go get it.

Its unfortunate that he tripped over the O lineman's feet on the short yardage play. He needs to pick it up and he will.

[J5V]

Strev nearly brought us all the way back in that first Calgary game and he did get us to overtime with his arm when he found Woli in the end zone. Unfortunately he threw a pick in the end zone in overtime when Demski slipped and fell down.  Point is he played very well and will do so again. His arm is underrated.

[dd]

also, the one time he didn't make it on 3rd and short, he/we got robbed due to an atrocious spot by the official.

Strevy will redeem himself, bank on it.

Nothing about Strev is underrated.

Well, if Zach surprised all and announced he was retiring this off-season, I don't believe they would be comfortable that they have his replacement in house. Within 2 years they need to be very confident they have the next QB covered or they'll fall like a rock. The fact they've developed a QB from scratch only once in 50 odd years is unnerving for their future prospects.

But on the other hand, we ve developed 1 talented and upcoming Qb in the last 3 years here, and he's better than anything else any other teams have developed in that time frame. I look to see Dru brown sign with the bombers as a free agent when Collaros retires as he'd like to win a championship and he isn't going to do it in Ottawa.

Hakunavanhu and Powell were transferred to the 6 game list today.
