From Kirk Penton's sources: And

Goossen and Chungh are established CFLers.

You’ve got the value backwards. The linemen are worth way more.

It would take a lot more than that. Those guys don’t come along all that often. Sooner deal picks.

And that path has been travelled a couple times this decade. Gray could probably command high six figures total compensation including incentives from the Bombers.

It's inconsistent. That's what I mean by "rarely committed." There are long stretches in games where the run is non existent, which are often the periods in the game where it's a 2 and out parade. And I'm talking about Lapo from 2002 to today, not just the 3 seasons he's had Harris. The only excuse for Harris not having 20 touches every week is if he gets hurt or they have such a ridiculous lead that it doesn't make sense, like maybe the game in Montreal this season.

Plus if the logic is a guy who plays tight end can play tackle, why wouldn't we just use Couture?

I fully expect Sask's D to score 2 TD's on us in Regina. Unless something mystical happens in Nichols sleep where he figures out how to handle a blitz he's going to have a hell of a time, I mean look what they did to BLM. I'm not sure our offense will even match Sask's D in TD's.

Ya that helps. Also helps if they have to at least respect the fact that the QB might take off when they vacate an entire half of the field when our receivers run verticals. The opposition LB's only have to defend Nichols eyes, not his legs.

Ya he's on the outside, but you're widening the gap on teams that line their ends up on outside shade of the last guy on the line or putting a guy on his outside shoulder for teams that leave their ends outside shade on the tackle. Either way you're basically double teaming that end and having 3-4 blockers (depending on the centre call) on a side of a formation where a defense isn't going to rush more than 3. The whole point of that offense was having usually 7 blockers on 4-5 rushers.

TE is basically never isolated in pass protection against a rush end. Tackles are almost every down. Huge difference.

Redblacks pick up Evan Gill, who was headed for Winnipeg Police last I heard. Also release Menard-Briere.

Well we know he has a knee injury. I think it's also worth noting how teams have been defending the Bombers and blanketing Harris. Nichols stats have always been helped by basically a historic level of play by Harris as a receiver. A 2 yard throw becomes a 12 yard pass on Nichols stat line. His numbers downfield have always been dreadful. They are just a touch more dreadful this year. Contain Harris, beat the Bombers. Has been the way since 2016. If Lapolice can't figure out how to make teams defend the whole field or at least more of it (I don't think the deep ball will be a consistent threat with this group of players) this offense is sunk.

Rice isn’t a tackle. He could maybe fill in at guard.

I don’t believe Loffler of 2018 can tackle well enough to play there. I felt he was more suited to the WIL spot early in his career because he’s prettt awful in coverage and slower, but he can’t finish a play to save his life this season. They’ve been throwing him near the line and blitzing him a lot in the last 3 games and he’s still struggling like crazy. Personally I’m going all import on D and starting another NI receiver. Trying to deal Loffler and/or a pick for a reasonable NI DL that we can rotate in to have a NI spot back on D.

I think our D is having that problem going against a QB that can't read blitz. Every other QB in the league can and just tear it apart.

Answer to me is get Leggett in at safety, Fenner at SAM. There's a bunch of ways to balance the ratio so Loffler does not have to play much on D.

That ball wasn't in a position where Adams had any reasonable chance to catch it. You're confusing contested catches where the ball is put into a spot where a receiver can gain body position and win the ball. I've never seen a receiver catch a ball like that one, stop dead and fight through two defenders moving toward the ball. Adams has made a ton of brutal drops this season. That wasn't one of them.

And if he's down two scores it's usually like he doesn't even have a RB dressed. How crazy is that? Look at all the Bomber losses the last three seasons and the correlation to Harris having single digit carries, and entire 2nd and/or 3rd quarters without touching the ball. Get behind, go one dimensional, ignore your most potent weapon, lose 90% of the time.

That one carry made a huge difference.

Lapo has rarely committed to the run in his career as a play caller. That’s one of his faults IMO. He makes his offences one dimensional and he’s rarely had the talent to get away with it, and it’s rare to have that talent. Like even BLM and Reilly stall out without some run complement.

Doesn’t have much credibility when he’s missing routine throws and can’t get the ball out quick ever. Also serves no purpose other than making pissy pants Matty Nichols feel better about how sucky he played.

How about Burnham giving up the first down. Gotta have the body control to get upfield and move the chains.

2 plays over 20 yards. One involved Nichols. Completed 3 passes that traveled 10 yards or more downfield before garbage time. No run game aside from Streveler. Max Hall would have been disappointed with that performance.
