I agree. The play calling can’t be predictable. Their red zone play calling has to improve. In an ironic way, I think not having Harris is actually helping them on first downs. I think they’re getting more yards keeping the defense on their toes not knowing for sure it’s going to be a Harris run up the middle.

It isn't that Olivera is getting better, it's the fact his Oline is finally opening up holes.

I’d agree that the Oline is doing better for the run game, but it is plain to see that Oliveira is running with more purpose & power.

Ka'Deem Carey jumps past Oliveira into first place. Hickson jumps from 6th to 4th.
Watch out for Calgary and Saskatchewan once the weather starts getting cold. If Collaros were ever to suffer an injury, they're run game will have to step up.

I dont even think Olveria is the best RB on his team. Any suggestions that he is the best in the league is laughable.
Why Oshea has a hate on for Augustine is beyond me. Maybe he is one demensional and cant catch..
1 Like
It also changes their entire offencenive scheme.
Oliveria catches and blocks better. Augustine is the better rusher. I’m guessing that O’Shea wants to maximize Zack’s protection and safety valve options.

Thanks for the clarification. I assumed about pass catching, didnt consider the blocking for Colaros. They honestly should start sitting him regularly now that tbe division is wrapped up. Drew Brown could atleast be good trade bait for next season if he gets reps. Maybe he is tge next Maier and Zach can be sent packing. Maybe Colaros is Wilkenson and Brown is Moon, and tbe Bombers can go for 5 in a row. We will never know unless Brown plays

I’m with you. Brown needs some playing time. O’Shea will give him the first meaningless game (probably BC) and we’ll discover that he’s friggin’ amazing. Then we’ll lose him to free agency in the off-season. A year later he’ll come back to haunt us in the playoffs as Edmonton’s best quarterback since Ricky Ray. It’s obvious.
I’ve had too much beer.
So 5 in a row is out of the question?

I agree that we will see a lot more of Brown this year. He still owns the best backup performance of the year when he was forced into the first game against Ottawa after Zach got clocked and was money when there was no margin for error.

Yes sir, Kevin Brown is a good one. Huge part of the win in Regina. Edmonton put up 202 yards rushing and 237 yards passing.
Gotta go back a long way to find that balanced an attack by an Edmonton offence. And just in time for the part of the season the running game means much more.....
