Dru Brown’s early script is masking a second-half stall

Brown made his fifth start in place of Zach Collaros (six-game injured list) and carved Toronto for two early touchdown throws to Dorian Singer and Tim White, plus a 6-yard rushing score. He accounted for at least 21 of Winnipeg’s 28 points, yet the Bombers lost 30-28. The film shows a heavy reliance on scripted early downfield shots; once Toronto adjusted, the intermediate passing game disappeared and Winnipeg had no consistent run-pass counter.
