  2. Bombers @ Argos - GDT

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Ya, but if someone took Andy Fantuz 2nd overall, you can't take him 3rd overall, similar to what happened with Westerman.  You have an exponentially better chance of getting the player you want the higher you are in the draft order.

    Agreed but no sense having a 2nd pick if the guy picking doesn't do it right. We need a GM who will make good decisions.

     

     

    What does that really have to do with anything though?

     

    Or was this just another opportunity for you to preach about how you don't think Walters is the full time guy?

    Maybe I'll tune in but with the Jets on at the same time ... gonna be a tough sell.

     

    Not really sure what to root for at this point. I guess I'd like to see Max Hall show as well as possible, but other than that ... maybe a good outing from one of the new guys (McAdoo? Fannin?)

  9. Who do the Bombers protect?

    Poblah & Watson have more talent than shown .... the lack of results/success: some of that is coaching, some is lack of experience,  some is opportunity and some is confidence

     

    Its hard to be the 5th receiver on the field

     

    Watson in particular will get better as he learns the team, the playbook and the QB .... the balls he's dropped has a lot to do with the pressure of being a newbie and wanting to show well

     

    ... Watson?

  11. 2014 Season Ticket Prices

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    I've said it before, but they need to adjust the plan for the 200 level prices so that there isn't a double price jump from the lower rows in one section to the next. (Eg. 205-206).

     

    As someone who is on the cheaper end of that pricing, I say no thanks!

     

    Then again, my season tickets wouldn't be in the same area next year so I guess it doesn't matter. I can't really stand the people in my section, so I'd be looking at moving if I buy.

    I respect Penton’s opinion on protecting Poblah, although his reasoning is weak.  IMO he’s weakness has been the types of routes he’s running and under-utilizing his strengths.  Make him run a fade from an inside position or send him on a drag, but he needs to get his hands out in front of him in some open space.  I think he needs to be a more consistent part of the blocking schemes on screen plays too.  

     

    I can see him working well in a few offensive systems.

    That's all well and good, but he can't catch

     

     

    Every scouting report out there talked about his good hands coming out of Central Michigan

     

    What the hell happened

    Pencer and Neufeld are redundant.  Neither one can play guard at a level to start in the CFL.  The only way we try to start 4 NI OL is if Burke is retained.  Anyone with half a brain will make better use of the collection of NI's at receiver/TE/RB.

     

    I want to see Neufeld's broken leg healed to the point he can at least practice before I'd consider protecting him.

     

    Let's be serious though, there's no way they're not protecting Neufeld.

    Maybe the BB know what they have in Etienne and want to evaluate Foster at game speed so they can make an Etienne vs. Foster expansion draft decision?

    Why evaluate FAs for the expansion draft? We won't be protecting them and for good reason

    You keep saying that but it's not necessarily true.

  17. Head Coach and GM Candidates?

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    my wish list  :)

     

    GM: Kyle Walters

     

    HC: Rich Campbell 

    Asst HC/Receivers: Bob Dyce

    OC: Khari Jones

    QB: Buck Pierce

    OL: Bob Wylie

    DC/DB: Kavis Reed

    LB: Casey Creehan

    DL: Mark Nelson

    ST: Craig Dickenson

    Asst ST: Markus Howell

     

    seems like a hodgepodge of nice guys, bomber alumni and question marks.

     

    so of course, this will be the final staff.

    I don't know I think he is being properly used.  You look at his success in BC and he was always catching the ball over his shoulder on the run.  He's more of a deep threat guy, and we're getting him to run 5-10 yard hitch patterns.

     

    Plus it's a new offence for him.  I don't think he is a bust, just yet.

    yeah the new offence excuse doesn't fly when you have trouble hanging onto the ball. If you can't catch then you're not much of a receiver. 

     

     

    That's what they said about Adarius Bowman.

    I just don't understand why we'd play him in the slot either.

     

    Foster should be at the wideout spot opposite MSW/Kelly, instead they do exactly what we did to Bowman a couple years ago and play him in a spot that accentuates his inabilities. He's not more than average as a wideout either, but he's doing far below average in the slot.
