CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Like I said, he's more patient than we as fans are. Which ultimately I think is a good thing, but he's not stupid. Truthfully unthinkable walters had a poor year all around last hear and didn't seem engaged. I suspect he's not going to sit on his hands so much this year. -

Have we got a reason to doubt Kyle walters in that regard? Guy has been very proactive throughout most of his tenure here. He took the are to a bunch of the roster in the offseason. I think he knows -

So I think age is the biggest problem on the team. 100%. Too much money in old guys who can't bring it like they used to... I'm just taking a shot because a couple guys get all horned up by the freak athlete type and have blinders to anyone else who may be a good player despite being less physically gifted. If it were me I'd have cut agustine and had the backup rb as an America position. I'd have made the switch to all American on the DL. With bighill hurt early I would have used at least game 1 as an audition for a young American with potential to steal the job. Same with Alexander I'd be giving younger guys a long look at a chance to work their way into the role. -

So I do believe there are some issues this team has fallen into... however these guys have had a lot of success, I do believe they are capable of turning things around. It isn't as doom and gloom as the folks who just want the track and field all stars everywhere. There's more to what makes a good athlete than just their physical measurable. -

He's a staff reporter for the team, it's quite literally not his job to question the team. He's a hype man. -

This is it, Bombers as a whole are more patient that fans. And given the number of wins and a couple close plays here and there from 4 time champs (regardless of everything being said on here) is a very easy sell for management to give more rope to people. -

Better question, are they actually going to use Augustine this week? Cause based on usage they'd have been better off starting Eli at rb. -

Saying that in public is fine. Take all the heat keep it away from the players. It's not words at this point that matter, it's actions. -
Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
17to85 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It's just maddening to me that they hardly gave any reps to a runningback that was going to play running back and streveler got 1 quarter and the rest of the QB reps in preseason went to guys who were either straight up cut or not likely to ever see any real playing time in the regular season. In what universe does that make any sense at all? And people wonder why the offense looks like garbage out of the gate. -

That being said, proper line depth in that game might have led to a win despite bad qb play -

They should at least use him and see... yet another ******* bonkers preseason idea. Give all the carries to Americans they were always going to cut... why notjgive augustine reps if is your guy when Brady is out? -

I was bored last night so I watched some 2019 playoff highlights. Interesting to see how collaros back then took a lot of heat in the pocket too, but he was able to avoid it and make a play. These days he never seems able to avoid it. -

Well collaros has sucked at the quick game forever so not hopeful if it's not a run game. -

At this point they need to establish a run game. Collaros ain't gonna pass his way out of trouble now. Need a run game to lean on for now. -
No I am expecting him to be part of the passing game when collaros is stinking up the joint. Last time he was here they used some packages where he got to run a real offense. Feels like he's just got the prukop package right now which is stupid. Streveler can play qb. He's shown that in the past. He is a weapon, use him rather than treating him like a running back.
-
Well Nichols was also basically injured to the point of retirement... that's what this team used to do, bring in depth. Not like collaros was a one man show in 2019 either, streveler played half the games in the playoffs despite a busted ankle.
-
So what is it that made people doubt strevelers ability to play quarterback? Is it his NFL time?

Neilson would do well to have suitor taken away from him IMO.

It was zachs bread and butter... but his mobility looks like late stage calvillo thrse days and he can't play the role of pocket passer. Getting old sucks. -

17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
We can go round and round on that and we'll never know until we see something different... but collaros ain't doing himself any favours and that's plain as day regardless of whether the ol misses blocks. They're not missing every block out there. -

17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I believe the real complaints about nichols only started when he physically couldn't do the job anymore.... kind of like Collaros is now. Dude can't escape like he used to and he's being eaten alive because of it. He is making the OL look worse than it is. Did it last year too but Brady just decided to carry the offense on his back. -

17to85 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They have to actually give him the playbook before we start counting. When he's just asked to go in and run the ball on gimmick **** how is he supposed to show anything? Guy came into the league as a real qb and showed he could do it. then Lapo turned him into a gimmick. Do we think he's a worse passer now after multiple years of pro experience than he was as a rookie? We don't win the 2019 grey cup without Streveler. Guy wasn't signed to do Prukop things. Let the guy play because at this point I don't believe Collaros can carry this team either. What about those first two games makes anyone have confidence in him? Brutal ints, can't escape pressure, staring down receivers and forcing passes.... Yeah more of that for the highest paid player in the league.
