2022 CFL Season - Back 2 Back Champs News
bearpants replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
nothing in the history or future of the Bombers will ever be as bad as those camo jerseys... I don't love the new ones but they are nowhere near as bad as the camo -
I'll take #19 (plays the same position) from the back-to-back champs any day over that dirtbag.

didn't see the play... I just heard Fajardo took a dirty shot... why am I not the slightly bit surprised he took the hit from Lawrence??

2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News
bearpants replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
ooohhhhh... the game is against Hamilton... that actually does make way more sense... I thought it was odd and kinda random to have a whiteout game... it all adds up now -
I'm pretty sure Brodie Lawson was an employee of the CFL... not TSN... she was laid off during the pandemic season... in theory, TSN could hire her (for the first time)
-
In fairness, when he says "one of the best of all time" that doesn't necessarily mean "the best" or top two... I would argue top ten all-time would be considered "one of the best ever".... I don't know enough about O-linemen to know who exactly would be considered top 10 of all time but maybe Van Zyl is in that conversation?
-
Just watched the highlights from the Elks/Lions games…. I have a suggestion for Chris Jones… maybe try starting defensive players that know how to tackle?
-
Don’t hold your breathe on BA… isn’t he supposed to be out at least the first half of the season?
-
I’m pretty sure they changed that rule a few years ago… a qb can give himself up any way, not just a feet first slide… that said, I don’t think that play was an intentional target and I agreed with the non-call… he slid late and the defenders were already engaged in making a tackle… I also am happy the injury spotter pulled him for safety (easier to say that after Brown came in and finished off the job 😄)
-
So I guess Dru Brown is "officially" the back up
-
all six of those victories came against Hamilton...

Here Dunk, let me do your job for you... here are some of the reason the Bombers could drop off this season: - top players getting older and unlikely to replicate career years from last year: e.g. Bighill, Jefferson, Jeffcoat, Collaros - question marks in the kicking game (Walters did alright figuring that out last year) - three new players in defensive backfield coverage: Glass, Thompson, Ruteledge (though that wasn't a problem last year) - top guard (Desjarlais) gone to the NFL with his best replacement (Eli) not returning - top receiver now in Edmonton - important veterans/leaders now with other teams (Harris, Adams) Now, I don't think all (or any) of these things are gong to be major problems for the Bombers... but if you're going to go on record saying the Bombers will regress... at least get your facts right
-
In this case, they would be starting Walker instead of Thomas (beside Sayles) with Thomas and Lawson subbing in... and Thompson starting at S... correct?
-
I have no problem with Dunk putting the Stamps ahead of the Bombers... I'm good with anything that keeps our boys motivated But his comment about Harris is so amateurish, it's borderline embarrassing... Yes Andrew Harris is/was a very important player on this team... but how you can you say that the Bombers will not be as good because they lost a player who missed half of last season is now gone??
-
In @Tracker’s defence… “Shane” is the correct Mennonite pronunciation… so if he wants to be a honorary Manitoban he should consider the change…
-
Only if Buck hasn’t already accepted an HC gig before that… if things continue to go well, Osh could be coaching here another ten years.

Pre-Season Game 2 - Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan - Tuesday May 31

Haha… I was just thinking the same thing… how does every conversation inevitably end up with an argument over Nichols and LaPo?? 😆 -
Pre-Season Game 2 - Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan - Tuesday May 31
bearpants replied to Rich's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The other problem is money... if you want a backup with experience that can actually play, you're looking at probably 200k.... Mtl got a nice discount on Harris at 175k... So @SpeedFlex27, if this experienced qb were available, which area of the team would you be comfortable downgrading to accommodate the back QBs salary? -
I think I lot of people forget or overestimate how big Streveler is/was... he is mighty powerful but he's only 6'1, 215 lbs... People talk about him like he was 6'5, 230... if he was, he would've never come up north...

Not surprised the Bombers are leaving most starters at home... about 80-85% played the first quarter just three nights ago... don't want to over do it in pre-season -

Already picked my up at the bomber store Friday night… haven’t had a chance to go through it yet
