hitting the pressure of a poker match

I hear you there about Roberts. But the point is the opp. defense forces Glenn to keep the ball on every option the off. runs. That would mean if Dinwiddie were to fake the option, and do a bootleg, then maybe flip a shovel pass or screen might be more effective. Bootlegs are kind of deadly on passing situations though, so I wouldn't be surprised if the option is called, that dinwiddie SHOULD keep it himself, then look for roberts in an out pattern.

My only guess is, if they throw in Randall, they'll be forced to utilize Roberts, with that in mind the opp. defense will be easier to read/react to creating passing situations on second downs.

It's not impossible but it is doable. That's what the coaches are here for.


When they run that option hand off with Glenn, it isn't fooling anyone. Everybody knows Glenn isn't going to keep it and run, so they all pull down ontop of Roberts.

Dinwiddie on the other hand, does have the ability to take off with it, so they can't cheat towards Roberts on that play, which will give Roberts just enough of a hole.

The running game, should, start to open up now.

Here's the thing pigs_eye:

we can point at taman for our next topic of focus, however, talking solutions not (as in taman) part of the problem.

1.1. we've had the 'we need to play our back-ups' more often due to lack or inexperience in case our #1 goes down. (my reason follows)

1.2. now that we're in the position NECESSARY to give back-ups the snap counts, I see no obstacle in doing just that.

We need to overcome this inability to perform, while not shooting ourselves in the foot over it. It forces the coaches into alternatives that opposing teams don't LOOK out for.

I blame this entire mess squarely on Bauer's shoulders.

Nobody deserves this going into Thur. nobody. All of the sudden we're dinwiddie'd to death, but done taking risks at 0-4. I don't think we'll be showing up aces on Thur. if you ask Berry.


== == == = ==

I know, come Thur. what about after ever '2-and-out' the music heard over the pa_system blares out Kanye West lyrics. . . "18 years, 18 years" representing how long it's been since a GC.

Or each time we get into the red zone, Wayne/Garth dancing to "We won $10,000. . ." appears on the jumbo-tron.

I'd start at the top with Bauer, he's done his thing with the finances, now it's time for somebody who can bring a sense of pride back to the organization. For the last 20 years, many great players have passed over the Bombers as an option to play.

This latest thing with the cheerleaders is just another example of how far things have deteriorated with the organization.

===== = = = =
I see the head cheerleader's need to resign was rather forthcoming of her to do so, but it really wasn't necessary if Winnipeg as an organization stepped up to help detract the undesirable women that started it all. It's a tough situation to be in, but she made a gutsy move in resigning. I know I would.
