Elks at Blue Bombers rematch discussion

[GOLDMEMBER]

This one likely to be a slobber knocker. Troops need to come out firing erasing any hope for the EEs.

More Brady ball is the order to me.

I'd like to see improved tackling on D.

[Blue In BC]

I think with the home crowd, this becomes an easier game for the Bombers. We seem to have found a great formula on defence, expect for the run game defence. That said, teams need to win in their passing game and we're shutting down all comers.

A 2nd week with Wheatfall added to the offence and a few tweaks we should improve our output. He had a pretty good game.

It did look like he may have run a wrong route when he was in the same area on Wilson's TD. I'm not sure whether that was an intended play but it didn't appear that way.

Anybody notice his work in blocking situations?

I think its important to lay a beating on the Elks at home because I think it may be the Elks who the Bombers will meet in the playoffs.

[Pigskin]

We have to do a much better job at stopping the run. D gave up 195 yards rushing, far to much. DL will have to make a few more plays, 5 DTs is just not enough.

[ModAdmin]

For whatever reason, we had trouble tackling in that game.  Something that needs correcting.

[Blueforlife]

We will smoke em

They will play QB switch up game

Limit the run

Brady bully ball in order

[bomb squad]

I believe we will clinch a playoff spot with a win Friday.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Going to be another great game. Edmonton will be playing for their playoffs and the Bombers trying to lock up a home playoff game. Plenty to play for.

[Pete]

Don't forget about Leake , elks turnaround coincided with adding him to the backfield. With Wilson coming out I wonder if Cole is ready?

Nope, it was designed.  I noted it at the time in GDT.  It was a very novel, and successful design.  Watch his demeanor when he sees Pokey get the ball... it's "initiate block mode!", not "what do I do now I'm not supposed to be here!".

It's the craziest play I've seen in forever from any team: 2 Rs basically wide open, close together, and one can lead-block.

Ya, but did you see that Rankin kid?  He's like a tiny wad of greased muscle, and he was in full Armstead mode.  Our guys were sure trying, and much of the time we had the holes covered, but he would squeeze through their arms.  And just bumping him didn't do anything.

I get what you're saying, but easier said than done!  In any event, the rematch will be vs MBT and EDM will use a less run-heavy gameplan.

[M.O.A.B.]

Need to knock any remaining hopes of the Elks.
Then, maybe Walters can pry Simon to leave one of their Canadian OL in town.

Yup, a win will clinch a playoff spot. Edmonton and Calgary wouldn't be able to catch Winnipeg.

The best Hamilton can do is tie the Bombers however they would need to finish with more points to knock the Bombers out with the cross over.

[blue_gold_84]

I think the defense has another monster game on Friday. Crowd noise should help, too.

Wouldn't shock me if Oliveira goes off for another 100+ yards and gets in the chicken box again.

Sad I'm going to miss it but I'll be looking forward to the highlights!

[M.O.A.B.]

I would think we see MBT starting this time and occassional dose of Tre.
