Its hard to believe those mean guys would say such horrible things about Duron..
-
I am not implying in any way that Bighill didn't want to play for MOS or the Bombers getting him wasn't a great move. Its priorities however for the other teams. If you are going to pay a MLB over 200k, something has to give elsewhere. We let Muamba go who was making that much because we wanted Collaros and the money had to come from somewhere. Nichols and Harris are both making big money on offense, maybe the money isn't over flowing to sign receivers as a result. Just a theory
-
I agree with you right up to where you said you are sure they looked into it. They are happy with what they got and are not looking
-
I think he was kicked off every college team he was on too
-
Torn acl players have returned and done well afterwards, although the odds are against them. Collaros, Lulay. Kory Sheets played pretty well for Riders.
-
Lots of teams couldn't afford Bighill. BC included.
-
He just has a short shelf life. He will be well behaved in Toronto for a while. He has to prove he isn't the guy everyone says he is in Sask. Toronto will get some good football out of him. The BS will start in training camp next year
-
Teams that want to win and are willing to take chances to do so win more often than teams that sit on their hands are cry about what everyone else is doing. Trestman knows Carter is dam good, he is worth the risk
-
That's not what I am hearing today
-
I would expect the fans to be sensitive to people taking shots at the team. I did not do that. If you are not capable of discussing football for a week because your team lost, step away from the key board Durant not coming to the Bombers is the best thing that ever happened to you guys. You should be happy. I wish we could just write a cheque for 70k and have a backup qb show up. Schreveler could have easily slid through the cracks
-
I think most people wouldn't have a problem with it was relevant to what was being discussed. However I do see some of our fans lash out at opposition fans in the same manner. I kind of get it, but think it takes away from the discussion
-
Couple things. Was making a comparison, if Durant doesn't suit your fancy then just use Reilly who I also mentioned. Secondly, I am well aware of what board I am on. Sometimes you guys are so closed minded, its hard to have a simple conversation about football.
-
Say what you want about Durant, but he never complained about getting hit. I agree it is not the oline's job to see the qb untouched all game, it just isn't realistic to expect that. Sometimes he has to wait a couple more seconds for the play to develop and take a hit to complete a pass. That's what the great qb's do like Mike Reilly.

Harris has 133 carries already this year, on pace for 266. He had 189 last year. 34 receptions on pace for 68, he had 105 last year. Your offense was run heavy last year but had some balance to it. This year it is more run heavy with Harris on pace to get 77 more carries than he did last year. I haven't seen every second of every Bomber game but I usually don't miss much of any cfl games, but IMHO Harris at times looks tired in fourth quarter. He is getting the bulk of his yards early in the games, first half. Been quite a few where he was close to 100 at the half but doesn't pile up much in second half. The offense doesn't really go away from the run but more so it just isn't as effective in second half. More balance in the first half might lead to better success in the second half with Harris having fresher legs. Teams that depend on the run usually take the game home in the fourth quarter with solid running and clock management. This is where I see you guys getting outscored in the second half of games this year, quite simply Harris is tired. It was harder to shut Harris down last year when he was catching more passes, dual threat. I want us to run the ball more than we do, but I think you guys run the ball too much. Reduced passing numbers for Nichols as a result, plus the 800+ yards that Harris isn't receiving that padded Nichols stats last year. easier to hit 4k passing when the rb is getting 800 on dump passes. my 2 cents
-
I'd like to see him come back home. Regardless, it would be nice to see in the league somewhere. I don't think he is done in the NFL yet however
-
You definitely do. I think our success came from attacking up the middle. It opened everything else up. Mitchell was rarely able to just stand there and throw. Lots of bad passes because he was running around, even when he was untouched. I just don't think he is great at throwing on the run. You let him stand there and he will kill you. He is deadly accurate when he has time.
-
Stamps are going to be a bad mood I am afraid. Guy who doesn't get a lot of credit sometimes. Zack Evans was destroying the middle of the Line. On one play he was pushing the double team backwards, a third guy stepped in to help block.
-
Thanks. No bragging from me. Huge win for us and it felt pretty dam good. The fans were a force. That's the loudest game I've been too in the new stadium. Everyone was on their feet. Loved it. Just one game and it doesn't mean much, but when you knock off a undefeated team its always a good day for the franchise
-
How I feel about Nichols is well documented. Last night, lets just say I wasn't surprised to see how Nichols acted in the face of adversity. Plop was in a tough spot, so not all his fault. Pretty hard to win games when you know you always have to score more than 30 points. The defense was bad and worse yet, quit in the 4th quarter
-
I see what you did there....
-
No he doesn't. I agree. Good luck in the game tonight, should be a good one
-
If we don't get a roll and have a strong finish this year I want him gone. If we do, things will be interesting
-
I'm not here defending Jones, I don't even like him. I just think you are playing the great guy card a little heavy with your management team. Jones was hired to win the Grey Cup, nothing more and nothing less. I expect him to do that or be fired. You know where nice guys finish don't you?
-
You know that Hughes hates playing for Jones?? Jefferson came back from NFL and went straight back to Jones, he is of low character? The players like Jones and many have said it. I guess they must be lying
-
Charleston Hughes says hi. When and where have I ever mentioned that no one wants to play in Winnipeg? I would think for the fan experience Winnipeg and Regina would be top two for sure. If you want to disappear into the masses and not be hounded by fans, BC, Montreal, Toronto would be good.
