Game Thread Calgary vs. Toronto Sat. August 20

[Rich]

Coxie had a couple of tough in-traffic catch and YACs in the preseason, he seems like a Rogers-type receiver, hope he gets a couple more thrown his way Saturday. I got a feeling Brissett might be more involved in the offence too, he’s been seeing more action lately and it’s time he started to step up more.

Very excited to see Adeboboye get some carries. He’s looked good every single time he’s touched the ball. That special teams tackle was phenomenal, he is an exceptional athlete, those massive thighs bring a lot of power. And rookie RBs need less coaching-up than any other rookies, so he’s ready to go. I think he could be special. We shall see.

"Ben" Adeboboye (as he is apparently known to Frank Zicarelli) has tons of potential for sure. Not sure we will see too many carries this early, but hopefully he starts seeing some reps on offence.

I love seeing his family members in the stands cheering him on. Hopefully, more extended family and friends will show up for this one now that he's more likely to get a few carries.

Chatted with his parents at practice weeks back. Very nice family. You have to pull for someone like that.

Smart offences use all their weapons and feature lots of variety: ball spread around to all receivers (as opposed to loading up on one or two fave targets, who sometimes don't have the best hands); lots of ground game with at least a couple of backs with different styles used; deep passing - "can't go wrong when you go long" as Dunigan says; an H-back (can line up at either fullback or TE) deployed some. Lots of looks/things for the defence to think about and account for.

OTOH, dumb offences ...
