Rough Riders at Blue Bombers pre-game Discussion

[GOLDMEMBER]

Well folks we play the Riders for the 4th time this year and it should be a barn burner.
I think we have the advantage in the trenches especially with there depleted OL.
They seem to be more balls hawks though I prefer our secondary with more steady play overall.
Ouelette dosen't scare me as I think our LB core is better than BCs but the DL will need to watch gap control.
Buck cannot forget to use Brady on the regular.
Castillo needs to be consistent for the rest of the year. Whyte cost the Lions big time.
Lastly Zach needs to be on task protecting the ball while his WRs need to get open for him.

Discuss fans and enjoy your week!

Ouelette IF FULLY HEALTHY is my one worry as our DL is not great this season. By the time a LB comes up to face him he is already a raging bull in a China shop. Now supposedly knicked in the WSF, but how badly I do not know.

Anyway the Bombers should go bombs away early and get a 2 td lead mixing in some bully ball. Then Sask has to forget the dink and dunk game and then THEY ARE THE ONES desperate and not playing their usual O game.

What worries me is Trevor Harris getting the ball out quickly and Sask being able to dink and dunk on us. I would also anticipate Sask going after Bonds and if BA is still out then also going after #16 Kelly.

I would have been more worried of VA and his explosive big plays. You can't plan against him being hot or cold. You can however game plan against dink and dunk.

So what's the game plan??

That's for the coaching staff to decide. But I am confident we are going to the grey cup.

Bonds proved he was the big liability.  Is there a chance we start Bridges instead?  Isn't he Nichols' buddy?  Does Bridges play CB?  Him next to Nichols might be a good combo.

Just go back and look how Hall beat SSK in those 2 WDFs we won.  It's the same O, but with even less deep shots!

Maybe dress a surplus of LBers?  Speed will rule the day, not power.  Saturate the lanes and up the smoke & mirrors level.  Get DL dropping back a ton.  Willy's arms can block at least 2 short-pass lanes just by themselves.

Our D will do fine.  The key is for our O to put up points and not turnover the ball.

I m thinking if they want to stop the dink and dunk short game,our secondary has to play aggressive man coverage, to which sask will counter with their run game. It's going to be a good physical close game

[Mick]

All the talk is that we haven't faced Harris and Oulette combo yet this year, the fact that they are having Oulette and Armstead splitting duties leads me to believe that neither one is 100%. I'm excited to see how Brady can preform against this "League Best" defense. I truly believe we are going to see the best performance of the year from our OL on Saturday. Zach is going to light the place up!

[Pigskin]

Looking like some excellent November weather for Saturdays game.
