Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah I hope Jones gets some starting reps, he was a bright spot on an ugly D but either way he should be able to make an impact on ST which I have no issues with. -

Only 8 Linebackers? Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up! -

That’s a pretty high ceiling. Dude was a 1200 yard receiver in his prime. If he’s even 80 percent of that production I would consider that a great pick. -

The reality is the struggling vets get all the rope in the world, and the young guys have to work twice as hard and may or maybe not get another chance no matter how well they play. I think it’s absolutely a big mistake to take smith off the active roster.. -
CFL - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Arnold_Palmer replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
61-70 record as a head coach. Always coached extremely undisciplined teams, not a guy I would want around my team in any capacity. -
It does make sense to an extent. Kramdi always seems to be in the right spot, im just not sure he’s fast and athletic enough to be great.
-
Yeah there’s an arrogance from O’Shea for sure where it’s like “see we can start ten plus Canadians” but it’s really we’re winning despite that. Kramdi is a good rotational piece but again he’s a victim of being asked to do too much. No one would have any issues with him or many of the Canadian players if they were planning on the role that they should be playing in.

So close to a perfect week! I believe I was the only one who took Toronto over Montreal. Shame on me for taking Edmonton over Ottawa, I should have known better.

I saw Hollins drop two touchdowns on Saturday and had another drop, McInnis is the one who looked unstoppable in my opinion.
-
One of those records that I just never see being broken. Absolutely incredible to imagine a performance like that.
-
Well I don’t think these two teams are unbeatable. Infact I think B.C. was a lot better last year despite the big numbers from Adam’s. I like our chances next week against the Riders.

Going from Sam Hurl to Adam Bighill was pretty much a franchise changer for us, love all that Bighill has done for us. First ballot hall of famer but yeah this has to hopefully be the last year. It happens to all the greats there’s no shame in it. Eventually your body starts wearing you down.

1. Wilson, absolutely outstanding, made a lot of really tough catches. I said two weeks ago on the catch and run against Calgary originally he reminded me a little bit of Rasheed Bailey, he was an absolute monster out there last night 2. Zach Collaros, started out a little slow but got better as the game went along, got rid of the ball quick, was even able to buy time by moving around the pocket 3. Brady Oliveria, quietly produced another 100 yard game and rushed for some tough yards to help keep the offence balanced. HM: Castillo was great, I don’t fault him in missing that 54 yard kick he’s been money all season, Nichols would be higher but it was a little bit of an up and down game. He got burnt a few times but also has the pick six and made a great tackle on Logan for the fumble, I thought the offensive line looked the best it’s looked all season, to me it got its first passing grade all season, and the balls on O’Shea to go for two after our last TD there. That was a great decision. I’ve always been under the impression teams should almost always go for two anyways so I like the aggressiveness.

GDT - Calgary Stampeders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers

The thing that sucks about Zach is how much mobility he lost compared to 2019 or even 2021. He used to be able to move around to buy time. I watched some of the Argos and Als game and all three quarterbacks were able to move around the pocket in order to buy time to throw. -
GDT - Calgary Stampeders vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Arnold_Palmer replied to voodoochylde's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It wasn’t putrid. We always had the best running game, and a Nichols had a couple of good seasons like throwing for 4400 yards with 28 TD’s and 8 INT in 2017. If Nichols didn’t hurt his shoulder he would be looked at in a different light. Man I’m just hoping for some vintage Collaros tonight. Calgary’s D is there for the pickings, I’m hoping we can establish some sort of passing game it’s been ugly. -
Could have been the difference maker in three one score loses..

A must win. With a back to back against B.C. in August we can’t afford to dig ourselves any deeper. Got to take care of business at home tonight. -

Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I’m not saying we’re 2011 BC lions but that season they started 0-5 and then beat us in the grey cup. Like anything there’s things to be concerned about, there’s also been some areas of improvement and optimism as well. I’m not going to give up on the season yet even though I’ve been frustrated by the roster management. -

Im not sure it falls under scouting necessarily. A lot of people were excited about some of the prospects we brought in to camps. We brought a lot D-Linemen and receivers into camp the issue is O’Shea cut almost every rookie that looked promising. What’s Walters and the scouting department suppose to do when O’Shea refuses to use or keep young Americans coming in? -
Blue Bombers - 2024 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
Arnold_Palmer replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I remember suggesting in the off season that it wouldn’t be feasible going forward having three of the four highest paid receivers in the league plus the highest paid QB and RB I took some flack for suggesting Lawler would have to take a discount to stay. It’s not that these guys aren’t worth the money on their own it’s just having them all really handicaps our roster manager flexibility and now we’re paying for it. I guess the silver lining is if Schoen returns next year because of his injury I don’t think we’ll see a bump in his salary, maybe a decrease, and we’ll have some tough decisions about how we want to allocate salary.
