Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
He hasn’t had an opportunity at C. He’s still a large upgrade at C. They double shift him because Dobson is the only other guy who snaps, and he excels on the heavy set in his spot. -

Looks quicker than fast but still has escapable speed. Better catcher than I expected for his size. Reminds me a bit of dressler. Big question for me is has he been banged up and lost explosiveness? Looks like a good score. -

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/penny-hart/32004841-5269-5794-21c2-9776a5a0a3d4 hart is also a kr. Dandy has great run jump athleticism. Alleged 4.38 40 time, pro day numbers weren’t as good but still very strong. Dandy did five events at the pro day at Northwestern: the 40-yard dash (4.48 seconds), the 3-cone drill (6.87 seconds), the 5-10-5 shuttle (4.19 seconds), the vertical jump (39 inches) and the broad jump (10 feet, 7 inches). -

Grainger has incredible dynamic talent and upside. Needs lots of polishing, but well worth the look. Sucks about woli, thankfully we got Mr automatic in clercius. BRANDON WRIGHT (Defensive End) POSITIVES: Brandon is a 6'1, 250-pound defensive end who runs 4.74 in the 40-yard dash and put up 19 reps with 225 pounds. He was rated as the No.1 RB in Ohio in high school. He played in 42 career games with the Spartans and started six career games at defensive end. He had 44 career tackles, six tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. NEEDS TO IMPROVE: Unfortunately, Wright does not have as much length as an average DE, and he has battled injuries that have limited his ability to get onto the field. -

No, the waste was at having started him soo many times then cutting him. I’m fine with him in tc actually. Having him in over lucky, saving us a di or wheatfall who gives us much needed size is just confounding. -

I could see Johnson being brought back to camp next year. Such a waste. Doesn’t show on the transactions page yet but glad it’s all finally done. Also glad they didn’t cut some one valuable. -

No joke I think edm is gonna slap them. If edm didn’t start the year with jones they’d be first in the west. The riders will continue to find ways to lose and miss the play offs. Oday might finally get canned. -

Thanks for sharing that! honestly, last week would’ve been a perfect time to run some guys through, it’d be much harder to give them the dedicated time with coaches otherwise. Usually the big coaches take a day or two on the week, not a a whole week. Yeah I’d bet on that being it, with Wilson being the short yardage guy still. Depends on how much he likes the dole and Wilson. Think we will get an idea in the final week game. -

I agree, but I don’t think we’d be worse off with lemon/wj than with wj/habba. But what we need is not easily available right now unless we hit on an nfl cut in a big way. teams read him all the time and he never makes the play. Wj needs to be part of a 3 man end rotation with 2 guys who can play. Not replacement level guys. Not only that but our dl, outside of woods are seldom gap sound little on able to make plays in the running game. You gotta be good at atleast one or the other. Jake is sound at getting off blocks atleast, garbutt is solid as well. but solid is far from good. And good is the enemy of great. it’s really a testament to how little the cfl cares about rushing, and slow they are at adapting in general. The secondary is great, and the secondary coaching has been very good. But when teams know they will have time and can’t game plan for the openings that’s sad. our front 6 is really lacking in coaching and game plan. -

The 30, and the (d)evolution of our front scheme.
wbbfan replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
3 teams are with in one 40 point swing, which can easily happen in 1 game on off. On D the als are with in 2 scores, and bc has an extra Game played now. That means if Mtl has one major less game, and we have a high scoring back and forth game it change pretty heavily. The league also had a big scoring lull that seems to finally be breaking, plus the end of the season will likely see some teams eliminated with blow outs ensuing. Not to mention some teams could shut it down for rest. I don’t think we have any decent chance of winning the west and staying in the basement of scoring. And just like how defences break in the 4th quarter with out support through the Game the same happens in the final 1/3 of the season. -

Guarantee it won’t stay that way between now and when the west is clinched. Either our O will come up, or our D will come down. Hopefully we start scoring tds. -

I’d argue Red Sox fans got like that. Yankees fans have always been like riders fans, but for one of the most successful teams in na sports history. Cowboys fans too. “Americas team” the rider fans plagiarized soo much of ctheir modern culture. Philadelphia sports fans in general too. Rider fan culture is on the goat list for toxicity. We’ve had our fair share of dumbass toxic online fans since 19, but a tiny fraction of the invasive bs. It sucks for the actual good fans they have. -

It’s an alchemical mix of both that doesn’t apply universally to other QBs. The nuance required has killed teams desire to try and try it other than with top picks. The time and investment is also a front office killer if you miss. QBs are really self developing after the first 10-15 picks these days. we all fish from the same pool. They get first dibs, but that doesn’t change the fact that less kids are playing football and even less pushing for higher levels. Ol is also a problem for them. -

Qft. yep. Then it’ll get knocked down and the cycle will repeat. I rotate some services. Extra channels on prime when on sale, crave, etc. I used to rotate tsn and sports net but probably won’t again. I actually have cable that isn’t hooked up with a new box. They bundled it with my internet cell and home phone. (Wife insisted) I’m going to change shortly, dropped cell, gonna drop cable and home phone, unless I get a really good cable bundle with sports. Honestly I’m tired of figuring out how I’m gonna watch all kinds of sporting events, or finding mediocre streams. -

For my money that one is more star studded and idk if they could play this scheme. This unit is a much deeper more group oriented D. If we keep these young guys around it’s gonna be insane. Agree -

On the topic of Philpot and League wide injuries, booch suggested in another thread that it might be the reduction in full contact practices. I took a Quick Look at a few teams 6 game lists and it is crazy how many high impact starters and star players are badly hurt. This easily seems like the worst season for injuries since the return to play after the missed season. (A good chunk of that was Edmonton and sask coaching being dumb though) they looked at kick off injuries and ways to reduce them this last off season. And it still hasn’t seemed like the problem they thought it was (mainly based on the nfl move) but some thing is causing issues this year. I for one think boochs point about practice is on point. It may not be the entire cause of the rash of injuries but I do think it’s the biggest single factor. The league might need to adjust the practice rules. Which imo would also make the games better quality and help develop young guys too. -

I would think it’s this. Other wise we wouldn’t have gotten it on tsn plus thingy. 100% would’ve been better. I also was expecting ctv to have it airing on their platform with in all the apps they operate. Which would mean you could watch the games on prime, roku channels etc. which would be huge. -

It was reported as being real strong and certainly seemed to reduce after the half. I’m not sure it was a crazy wind didn’t seem to be effecting passes a lot, so likely dropped off for game time some too. Pas is an odd one for wind, the upper deck really catches all the wind possible, and the field level has decent protection at field level but it can get stronger at deep toss/kick height. -

Bonds is excellent but Nichols is better, bonds benefits from playing next to nichol. The half almost never benefits from the corner. And it’s doubly true in our system. The half is the one making tough switches. The corner just maintains leverage over his area while sandwiching with the side line. It’s also worth noting that bonds hands are shakey even for a db. If he’d caught all the balls that hit him in the hands he’d lead the league in picks. Ford and Nichols are out making catches like wrs. -

Griffin and Nichols have been excellent too. Ford makes the picks and is damn good, but Nichols is shut down and the best tackler on our D. Easily the best at filling a gap and making stops on backs from our lbers and dbs.
