Agreed. Johnson could go over top, but he’s not gonna be that long armed rangy type that Collaros needs to chuck it up to.

Josh Johnson seems like he’d be a downfield threat. Not at all the Lawler frame though, closer to a Clarence Denmark

Ugh..Out of respect for the mods, I’m not gonna start the political talk. I’ll just say it’s a damned shame how badly that stadium was allowed to deteriorate .

I was last there in 2005 for their LDC game and it was a dump then. I couldn’t imagine it now.

Yeah, go to the games. I’m not giving up any of my pre-bought tickets, **** it. I don’t regret going to any Bomber games, especially ones I’ve travelled for.

Yeah I hate to say it but Edmonton would probably beat us right now too.

I know. I honestly think they can and will get much better than that. I just couldn’t help the dumb pun

Larry Updike, that’s sad. A lot of those 90s CJOB guys were voices that were built into the background of my childhood.

The D as whole looks a little Rusty to me. Rod Rusty…

She’s very clear that they have “Too many old guys”

So my almost 3 year old heard me talking to her Grandpa about the game on the phone this morning. “What is punter dad?” “Something bad that the Blue Bombers have. They’ve got a bad punter. He’s the man that kicks the football the way I showed you. It’s called a punter, and he’s a bad punter” ”Oh, Bluebommers have a bad punter” ”Yes sweetie, that’s right. Your Gramdfather is probably a better one, and he’s 70” ”And Mommy is better punter than bluebombers?” ”Yes, That’s probably right too” “And Jenny (our collie cross) is better punter than Bluebombers?” It went on for about a half hour, with literally every name she knows. I’m building another one of us…

It was the slightest of overthrows. Somewhat on the QB but I mean, football is a game of inches. I don’t blame Demski for that one, granted I only saw the play the once on TV.

Not with this organization I don’t think. That’s just not how they’ve ever operated with any kind of personnel or staff, especially mid season. If anything, if this year continues as such, I could see Hall fully retired and JY somewhere else next season, with a total fresh start here but that’s way too far out yet.

I think the best option would be Griffin in for Holm, Holm moves to S, making it Bonds/Griffin/Holm/Bridges/Ford. Kramdi at dime for now (though I find him to be chasing after as many plays as he makes) Shuffle things around when they get Nichols and Parker back.

Do you think Griffin could be a good bandaid there? I’ll be honest, other than the fact he has CFL experience, I don’t know much about him at all.

“Fatigue makes cowards out of the best of us” Willie’s always had the tendency to lope around and seem disinterested when he’s gassed out, just now at his age it happens much earlier in games. It also appears that his top priority is almost always to get a PKD, a lot of the time at the detriment of making any sort of engagement with the lineman. Lol same, though pre-2017ish I felt this coming from anyone who was a fan through the 80s. It’s come full circle.

What felt like at least 1 pick 6 per game too. Byron Parker was a nightmare for us.

Normally yeah, I just remember those Argos always giving up a ton of yards on the ground. Roberts regularly ran for 100+ against them, and I remember them giving up like 300 yards to the ticats in a game. https://www.cfl.ca/2006/06/17/there_ll_be_a_run_on_argo_defence/ …Holy ****. Check out this article. Maaaaan, so familiar.

Yeah afaik match coverage took over in the mid-late 2000s, around the time the Sam backer turned into the dime DB. Yeah afaik match coverage took over in the mid-late 2000s, around the time the Sam backer turned into the dime DB.

Iirc they’d get pass pressure with 3 or 4 consistently. I also remember them giving up a lot of 150-200 yard rushing games

Between Sask and the Elks, no way we’re going 0-18 though.

Castillo, pretty sure even Costello probably could.

Do you think there’s enough individual pieces to improve? Or is this a 2005 thing where we have a couple bright spots, but give up 400 yards passing every game? Obviously there’s more nuance to it than one guy, but I don’t see it getting any better with BA playing safety. Also, if they’re running the old Rich Stubler defence to a degree, is it not just a matter of time before they start getting gashed by the run? I remember that being the hallmark of those Argo teams.

post of the year.

Agreed. The max protect worked well and the running game even showed some honest to god creativity. That’s about as positive as I can get tonight We played twilight zone
