Addison Richards Retires
I wonder if they still pee test the injured list. When a guy goes from a little soft, but athletic to looking like a powerlifter in the space of about 3 years you wonder. Wonder more when he keeps injuring weight bearing joints and tendons.

Injury Report
Best part is where Ray says his shoulder is sore but pain free. Guessing he wasn't an English major.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
The big plays are nice. If we get first downs and score points I could care less about how they happen or how many plays it takes. Most teams are dropping 3-4 DB's into deep zones every play. Those deep shots are pretty risky and ending up in 2nd and long is a bad outcome. I don't believe Nichols is shy to take the shot when his reads take him there.

Play Calling & Offensive Schemes
The key is first down production, good first down play calls and execution. I like that we are running frequently enough to make other teams respect it, I like that the screen game is being featured, this is important because Nichols is not a quick release guy, most of the screens allowing our OL to tee off and our YAC guys to get loose, I like that we are running much less empty backfield than the first few weeks of the season and also split backs which holds the opposing SAM and WIL eyes to the backfield leaving more space for our receivers to work in the mid range game. Seems to me that avoiding the big turnovers against is key. Our two losses featured major turnovers that directly led to points. As long as they avoid those and produce steadily they have a great chance to win any game.

3 stars +HH tigernaughts edition.
He's pretty good at blitzing, but he's not a defensive end so we need him to be able to cover and tackle in the open field.

It doesn't matter. That's reality. The only guy who plays every down in the front seven is Leggett.

Dave Mudge? He was brutal from 2005 on, as a Bomber and Alouette.

Bruce Johnson Released
I'm not sure Johnson had a job to lose. Sounds like he was beat out and the injury gave him a chance to stick around.

Matt Nichols, Elite quarterback?
Elite possession protector with no fear, which is a huge step from where he was when the Bombers acquired him. He doesn't have the skill of Mitchell, Reilly, Jennings. He can beat them by playing smart. When he tries to go toe to toe with those guys it ends badly, see the Calgary game. Needs to be a hell of a lot more consistent before this conversation can even happen. The stretches of games where they can't even get first downs let alone score just can't happen. Looked better last week.

But he went to Oklahoma. He's gotta be better than some CIS dud.

Winnipeg @ Ottawa GDT
Should start calling players for Obj conduct who can't keep their helmets on. Tighten up your chinstrap.
