If he throws about 20 passes we have a good chance to win. If he throws more that means we fell behind early and probably got blown out.

They have enough experience with **** QBs to know that throwing 3 yard passes all night without a run threat isn’t going to get them anywhere.

Ya he is. He’s a place holder.

I might have dressed another DB over Lankford. TBH I’d probably dress Bryant over him. A fresh DL vs Reilly could be huge.

TSN needs way less Derek Taylor. Get a coach on the panel/broadcast again.

The DI has to sub in for an American always. If you start more than the minimum of Canadians you have a situation where you have import backups who aren’t DI’s. Those guys can sub in anytime for anyone because for the purpose of the ratio they are essentially American starters.

Konar, linebackers in general.

I think their best chance to win is a strong option type offense with Streveler controlling the clock to give the D a chance to win it. None of these QBs are worth a **** as passers yet.

Ya he’s still developing. Hang time was real inconsistent and he’s sometimes slow to get the ball to his foot. Big leg, needs refining.

Edmonton didn’t develop Reilly and the other guys were playing at a time when the game was completely different. There were actual linebackers. In 20 years Edmonton has developed 1 QB, Ricky Ray. If the Bombers came out Thursday with a bunch of read option kind of stuff more focused on running using Streveler or Bennett they would stun Edmonton. Nobody is ready for that basically playing a 4-2-6 with DB’s for linebackers. Think of what the Bombers did last year to them with Harris and Flanders and multiply it by 100. Stunned.

There's a lot of teams with a bit of a mess at kicker. Saskatchewan and Ottawa for sure, Toronto too.

It's because a quarterback who can't pass from the pocket is the easiest kind of quarterback to defend. A quarterback who can pass from the pocket weaponizes the whole field and all of his teammates. The best scrambling quarterbacks are dangerous because they can pass from the pocket too so they can't simply be defended based on their scrambling, teams have to defend the whole field.

We're going to have DB's on special teams whether Fogg is returning or they are covering kicks.

His pass protection literally changed the course of the Bombers franchise in 2016.

Well if you want any of them to succeed someone is going to have to get more reps in practice and have a gameplan designed for them. Ross is very different from the other two IMO.

Why? He's in exactly the same spot as Streveler. Was playing NCAA last year.

Streveler's running ability has to be part of this offense regardless of who is starting. That's a huge weapon and we have backfield weapons that can make that very hard to defend with an option package. I'd love to see him and Harris and Augustine and Demski and Flanders running over Konar and Sherritt all night.

Wow. On paper that D should be terrible against the run. They have 8 Canadian starters listed so Hurl won't have to play a lot of D unless they want him to. That interior DL is the shits though.

He was with the Bombers in 2016.

Injuries? I’d assume if Montgomery isn’t picked up that he’s still a phone call away if someone goes down and would have made the roster if any DL was injured. I can’t believe how many DBs they kept.

Truesdell that Calgary cut is an interesting player. Tight end body, runs like a wideout. Made some plays in preseason. Colling and Parker high picks cut by Calgary. Colling also a 2017 1st like Ekakitie.

Why? He doesn't have a job. They wouldn't be paying 2012 Chad Owens.

They don't vanish into thin air. There's lots of good football players looking for work all the time.

Bombers should bring in Owens to return kicks, at least he can catch punts and play receiver if we need him. Huge upgrade on Lankford.
