There wasn't much speed shown by the receivers in last night's game.There seemed to be a lot of lumbering pass routes.No one seemed to possess the "lightning in a bottle"speed.No separation from DB"S.
I agree not much speed. Ponder made a nice catch for a first down as did Woodcock. Mitchell looked good in the 4th and Woods could be a nice possession WR. Lets hope they open it up a bit next week.
From what I gather, there wasn't much motion or other pre-snap trickery happening in the Cats offense last night. How much play action was going on? I think that any problems in getting separation may have been compounded by a more sedate approach in those two facets.
One thing I can pretty much guarantee is that a suited-up Miles, Lumsden, and Jackson will stretch the Argos quite a bit more next game if (as I expect) Marcel and Charlie expand the packages for a more regular-seasonlike test. Miles in particular won't be going 5 in a 30 zone. LMAO
Steve Milton pointed out that they didnt come back for the ball when Printers was outside the pocket and they havent been doing it in practice either !!!!
Okay, that would contradict what Taaffe said in his postgame interview on CHML…LOL He was fairly adamant that they were holding a lot of stuff back, in keeping with his discussion with Berry re keeping things vanilla to aid in their mutual evaluations of their rosters.
Maybe in terms of trickery, but there was lots of motion including some crossing receivers right at scrimmage at the snap.
That's a good sign that Taafe says they're holding stuff back, because just from what I saw last night the formations and pre snap motion was a huge improvement from last year's "American" look. It looked much more like a CFL offence.
I have always kind of been a fan of Brock Ralph but he certainly does get the dropsies from time to time. Then there are other times that he makes freakishly amazing circus catches.
