Obscure moments and players in Bombers history
wbbfan replied to Arnold_Palmer's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Prime milt, with this collaros would be terrifying. Often over looked is during milts tenure not only did we have a lot of poor qbing, but our OLs were as bad or worse for the most part. Id take lucky over banks. I think banks is heavily a product of a system. They scheme getting the ball in his hands with easy touches, in space with blockers etc a lot. -
It would truly be baffling to me if a guy who has earned what he has between the NFL and the CFL isnt on a modern ped, but then I probably shouldnt be surprised. I mean if he was smart he'd be off it during the season, and if he really needed it to recover mid season he'd take oral then micro dose to avoid crashing off it. The fact he isnt off it, or on some thing that cant be tracked should say it all. But I always expect cheaters to be smarter than they are. Yeah, unless its some thing he cant stay off. You never know what happens after a year off. More players than most would expect fall into heavy cycles of substance abuse in the offseason, then try to clean up for the season. Im a bit surprised we havent seen more issues with this. From recreational stuff, to pills, to hard drugs.

Yes, but youll only get a positive test for about 14 days after taking steroids. So unless he does them while he's suspended he almost certainly isnt going to pop again. That said, who knows maybe its some thing else he's on. Maybe its the player wellness and not PEDs that wouldve had him suspended if he peed.

"Week Of" Thread - Bombers @ Elks (Week 7)
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Here, we would rather hear a hard reality but the majority of our press is in the bombers pockets. Even then if the bombers lay an egg bob irving calls a spade a spade. In riderville if they arent good, they dont want to hear any thing but lies. They bite hard on any pandering to them. Because they have nothing else, and the fewest GCs of any city in the league. Despite the most losing they cant handle losing. So their media panders to them and they eat it up. Then national cfl media does the same and they bite even harder. The national media and cfl site are soo low quality they think making the rider fans extremely happy means they are doing well and helping the league. But it just perpetuates the same over hype followed by crashing lows in sask. I remember back in the day, maybe 2004, the bombers were 11-7 in a 3 or 4 way tie. Jock clime called us the worst 11 win team in recent memory. That we hadn't added any pieces since the 01 team, just tried to keep that team together. It pissed a lot of people off, but he wasnt entirely wrong. That team rested on its laurels for way too long and didnt improve. After handily losing to the riders at home in the west semi, most people agreed. If that happened in regina, clime would've been torn to pieces. Clime was a dbag and I couldnt stand him when he played or on the tsn panel. And he attacked the bombers while at TSN like it was his job. You could never see that with the riders. And really, thats a team and a fan base that needs to swallow some hard truths. -
Cant trust the booth to make the right call though. Like that punch to the head of a helmetless harris. No flag, no call from the booth, no move by the league.
-
You cant. Guys helmets are held on by little more than hopes and prayers these days. Aka nothing. Atleast 1 pops off on virtually every single play. Half the face masks in the league could be turned into ejections if the person being grabbed is smart about it. IF any thing, we should see a crack down on shoving after the play. Thats an epidemic in todays game, and thats what leads to the worse stuff. No more skip the first and call the retaliation. 1 shove 1 instant 15 yard penalty. That crap will end fast. And soo will the majority of the post play shenanigan's.

"Week Of" Thread - Bombers @ Elks (Week 7)
wbbfan replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
If not this week he's gonna be in a great spot after the bye week. Im hoping hes in this week though. Elk on a rook qb and stove in to stuff the run game. Good game. -
Be hilarious if the first day he's back they came to piss test him again. Just sit there and wait with a table full of bottled water.
-
Waiting for the high and mighty moralistic fan base of the riders to demand he's cut. They shouldve fined the punches at harris' head, the riders OL who went after willy after the sack that ko'd fajardo, and the shot taken at brady in the last plays.

Right lmao. If collaros goes down, the bombers are still the best team in the league. -

Similar, this guy can throw more than 20 yards by the looks of it. Rotating coverage, and keeping the guy off kilter shoulder be pretty easy. -

He may have been taking first team reps. If thats the case nothing will happen. If not then they should be fined. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/09/14/bombers-elks-injury-reports-harris-not-participate-tuesdays-practice/ Yep the tuesday practice has nothing about him on the mend. Normally I would be worried about a back up. But we've seen QB changes against our D this year. These guys should not fall for a trap, especially a rookie qb. -

2019 was the year of the return man, 2021 is the year of the back up qb. -

he only played a handful of games after transferring to oregon. He was a bust with the ducks. -

Interesting. Prukop has bounced around a bit. Backed up for TO for 3 years, cut my cal this year. He really busted out when he went to the ducks. That was my first thought too, but this D is too good to get throw off by a rookie back up qb. -

Prukop I think is their no2. taylor Cornelius no3. Taylor is 6'5 235 and a 1 year starter in college. That one year he threw almost 4k yards, ran for 400 more, 32 passing tds 10 rushing. Hes got a big arm, quick release, and good down field touch. Doesnt seem like a guy who can run the short yardage passing game. Pretty young and raw. -
RBs signed a blue chip qb project. Its interesting because they have another blue chipper on the PR in taryn christion, and another 23 years old athletic dual threat qb caleb evans. 3 qbs on the PR may be a sign of the impending departure of Nichols. Im a bit surprised they havent scooped up a vet. https://3downnation.com/2021/09/16/ottawa-redblacks-sign-former-nfl-quarterback-devlin-hodges/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=ottawa-redblacks-sign-former-nfl-quarterback-devlin-hodges

Obscure moments and players in Bombers history
wbbfan replied to Arnold_Palmer's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Remember reggie jones, the wr we picked up right before the play offs in 04 and who for 2 or 3 games was putting up tons of yards then disappeared? Idr if it was him, or if it happened again with a WR we picked up off of the argos PR. -
Its very unlikely we see any suspensions. Though the guys throwing punches should be imo. I love how the riders started that crap, continued it, and some how its harris' fault.

If you want to feel better at every bomber home game the 5k plus people around the rum hut the whole game are 18 to 35. I see a pretty even split in the stands. Mostly 20 to 30 or 50 plus. -

Two wrs at db and Maas cut us up that doesn't make drover bad. He'd a been a solid back up s. A couple of the teams that lost that week complained that it was too soon to go back for weeks. Was pretty sad. Remember wade Miller going off sides on purpose because out side of the 3m warning they just kept restarting the game clock lol. He killed like half a 3rd quarter into the wind. The next week they adjusted it when he tried it again and stopped the clock til the snap. -

Waiting for an update or to see grant on the limited list. We are trending in the right direction though heading to our bye weeks. Feel like every one else has pretty much had a bye but us. -

Kickers are almost always like that. Especially if they kick and punt. They are a strange breed. You just cant keep a kicker at sub westwood levels of accuracy in modern football. Sure, they might bounce back. And a QB who plays the whole year and complete 40% of his passes with 2-3 picks a game might improve. But you cant keep starting them. Thats how you end up with a westwood kicker. Just because a guy can improve doesnt mean he will and some times, getting cut and a change of scenery is what guys need. We never really saw enough of Brian Bennett to see all he could do. Should we bench zach and bring him back? People around here are quick to say our WRs arent good enough. But this kicker whose doin real bad lets stick that out. If youre an out of the run team it doesnt hurt to keep a struggling young player out there. If youre a contender it does. And legs isnt getting cut. -

You can complete a 5 yard pass at a 70% rate in the cfl. Kicking at 100% for 1 point instead is questionable but understandable. At 75-80% it makes no sense to kick it.
