I'm not so sure as is only took the Stamps one drive to adjust. Reilly locks in on Bowman and while Franklin had a rough day he didn't throw any bad passes that would result in turnovers while Reilly serves them up. It's a habit of Dickenson/Huff that they take their foot off the gas on offense when up by 7+ points as that 3rd quarter they were running a conservative offense. If the game is closer I don't believe you see those handoffs to Walter up the middle for 1 yard consistently. Reilly has never beaten the Stamps as a member of the Lions or Eskimos and while he's going to run hard he's not the most efficient passer the game has seen. Not too worried if the Stamps defense shows up like today and Cornish is back in the fold.
