Oliveira’s “quiet game” was a volume problem, not an efficiency problem

Brady Oliveira carried nine times for 37 yards — 4.1 yards per carry — while Zach Collaros dropped back 33 times, a 78.6 percent pass-to-run split. Media will call it a quiet game, but Condell’s pass-first history from Hamilton is the real culprit: Winnipeg abandoned a back who was still gaining over four yards per carry. If Oliveira gets 18-20 carries at that rate, the Bombers add 36-45 rushing yards and shorten the game.
