That was more my point, in a 10 min. scrimmage Nichols is only in there for 5 minutes. How does any QB establish timing with RB's and receivers in that amount of time? Do you think this was the only practice this week? This was the third practice this week.
-
Good point if its just a walk-through then that makes more sense.I've been to walk throughs before and today definitely wasn't a walk through.
-
Today was mostly dedicated to special teams. And it was a short practice, only 70 minutes total.
-
Moore practiced and was wearing his helmet all practice, but then during the 10 minutes of scrimmage, he didn't participate. He looked good earlier so I'd expect him to play this week, but the no scrimmage was a little puzzling. Stoudermire made a couple nice catches as a WR during scrimmage. Seemed like a light practice...lots of joking around. Westerman seems like a real pro. During special teams drills, he was coaching up the DL guys on the sideline for those not involved in ST. Justin Cole was working hard on the side too. Brohm and Nichols split scrimmage reps, they were the only 2 QBs to get reps today, but like I said they only scrimmaged for about 10 minutes. During scrimmage, Brohm completed a beauty deep ball to Chevon Walker. Nichols completed a pass to Kohlert up the middle that should have been picked off, but Kohlert fought for the ball nicely. During QB/WR drills, Boyd looks to throw a really nice spiral with lots of power on it. But I couldn't get much of read on him based on a few short throws.

And more importantly which Winnipeg Resturant is it ? Yeah, come on we all want this info too...Sorry guys I didn't hear the end of their convo.
-
Nick Moore is practicing with helmet on at start of practice. Willy doing some mental reps behind the QBs. He's walking much better than when I saw him walking just last week at the Banjo Bowl. Overheard Matt Nichols and JFG talking about which Winnipeg restaurant has the hottest waitresses. Lots of ST work today.

Nope that was a bad coaching decision Edm moved him inside where the ball would get to him quicker less thinking on his part.He had all the tools we didn't use him right.This is true.

Henoc on his way to Hamilton & Toronto for visit

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. You miss the point, most football players in the US are accepted to college on athletic scholarships and would not qualify otherwise. Once there, few take advantage of the educational opportunity afforded them and piss it away on a meaningless degree or never complete. With the time commitment they have to put into football at that level it is understandable to some extent but most of these athletes do not leave college with any worthy credentials. If you can associate 10 import players on the Bomber roster with meaningful degrees I will be impressed. Define meaningful. Should have said useful, but anything above a general arts degree would be my interpretation of meaningful. I think your broken assumption is that you need a great degree to get a great job. My highest-earning friend has nothing more than a high school education (makes about $135k/year). And you are making an assumption based on one anomalous outcome. If you took say, 1000 university grads and compared their median income to the average high school grad's income, then you would have a meaningful comparison.Yep, on average for every dollar a university graduate earns, the non graduate makes about 75 cents. -

Yes, what we need to do is make our offense more predictable.How does that make it more or less predictable? I'm just suggesting Moore and Denmark switch spots. No you're not. You just said you don't care where they line up, you just want Moore on deep routes and Denmark on short routes. Which is silly and predictable because the defence knows exactly what they're doing on every play. No team in pro football runs an offence that way. What's with the attitude and nit-picking man? Have you ever noticed that Moore is almost always catching passes up the middle this season? Well I'm suggesting Denmark take on that role instead. I'm suggesting they switch roles. I get it. We've seen Denmark try to play that possession role and he's okay at it but not as good as Moore. Likewise Moore isn't as good on the deep stuff. Denmark struggles to get open for some reason, other than on really deep routes. He's also not much of a YAC guy. It may or may not help reduce Moore's injuries to switch their roles but it would also make both receivers and the offence in general less effective. IMO.Exactly my thinking. This is the dilemma. Flip side is you do what I suggested, and maybe it keeps Moore healthy. Maybe not though...

Bombers confirmed they won't be wearing then again this year. The initial plan was to wear them again, but that changed. -
Henoc on his way to Hamilton & Toronto for visit
gbill2004 replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The longer this goes on the more I'm okay with passing on Henoc. Sounds like he only wants to sign a contract for the rest of this season so he can try for the NFL again next year. -

gbill2004 replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yes he did. But I'd also understand why there's no need to now, since he already knows the city, management etc. Or maybe he's leaving Winnipeg for the last visit. -
In his interview today he said he's here to put up some good film so he can get back to the NFL. He's got the right attitude, but it's clear what his goal is.

I took it as the Bombers have as good a chance as any team. And Walters did say that the agent is regularly keeping him updated on everything regarding Muamba's visits, intentions etc.
