We seem to be in last year's funk where we just want the offense to not be a direct liability...except our defense isn't nearly as dominant as it was either. Good thing we all bleed green because it's never easy.Bryce Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12750288546189885216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457862363782171899.post-67612878456607827142019-07-19T14:33:32.558-06:002019-07-19T14:33:32.558-06:00Chungh apparently out for the game Saturday.

The OL was going to be a problem from the get go despite having Chungh & Figueroa, a very good LT. But Husband, an underrated G & Olafioye @ RT retired - big losses. Until Lankford this week they had ZERO import backup behind the big 2 except the Mexican in the Global spot. So when Burnham sat out a game they had 4 Cdns strarting in their 5 receiver set & they aren't that deep there. I looked at their defence & Lemon was gone, Elimimian, Awe & West All-Star Foster were gone along with both of their CB's from last year - 2018 All Cdn Orange to Edm, Rose to Wpg. You're exactly right - $1MM to Reilly & Chungh is crazy especially since word out of Wpg was Chungh is great @ the run game, mediocre @ pass protection. You also called it correctly on Reilly & the deep passes. He was getting killed in Edm behind the same OL who've allowed 1 sack in 160 dropbacks this year. Harris gets rid of the ball quickly & the offence is designed to take advantage of his strengths. Reilly's terrific in the deep game & that's how he racked up the yards in Edmonton. But you need to hold the blocks awhile & this OL in BC can't hold it even for 3 step drops & they continue to try to throw deep. As for Duron - # 2 in targets in the CFL going into this week, not even top 20 in yards. Time to put the "best receiver" nonsense to rest. There is talk BC is looking at dropping him (again) though why when I don't see anyone better around & they are so thin @ import. Won't happen but they need to get him going. Should be motivated for the Riders. I would not be surprised to see a sweep either way. I think the Riders are further ahead at this point talent wise but the most important position is QB & in my book it comes down to Reilly & Fajardo. I do expect BC to try & take pressure off by using the run & dump passes. But who knows. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
