Yeah. A few weeks ago against the Riders they did nothing offensively all game but Reilly connected on a couple of deep balls and that was enough to win the game. No team has been able to stop their deep ball passing game. Even the Stamps are probably going to give up big play TD's against them in the Labor day back to back games. The key is to limit the damage like the Ti-Cats did last night and to do that you have to get in Reilly's face and don't give him time in the pocket to wait for the long plays to develop.
In regards to their guys finding ways to get open, the Eskimos receivers have mastered the art of the subtle push off. It seems officials never call it against them as they do it all the time.
