It was as vanilla as it gets, and I noticed a lot of the breakdowns were when Butcher and/or Scott were in.

It's baffling that people forget this every preseason. It's not a difficult concept.

[iHeart]

man the ties aren't killing me it's just preseason

[Atomic]

Loved the John Rush hit on special teams.... that kid has to make the team.

Onside - being down 17-3 on your own home field is never good. Coming back to tie the game is great, and what I do want to see.

Offside - 34 penalties in the game? C’mon refs. Nobody wants to see marginal calls.

Onside - the Quarterbacks play. I can't remember when we've shown more than 1 QB having a decent game…never mind 3

Offside - letting the Eskimos back in the game - even with help from the refs.

Onside - 489 yards offence

Offside - allowing 455 yards offence

Onside - 17 rushing attempts…for 134 yards and 3 TDs. A 7.9 average

Offside - allowing 150 yards and 3 TDs. A 5.8 average

Onside - Passing efficiency 130.06% whoa. 80% 28/35 and 355 yards

Onside - we out punted them, we out kick-offed them?

Onside - we seemed to be excellent on Special Teams..

Hopefully we never see Bond at centre those where some really bad snaps.

[do or die]

Davis got going once Bond was relieved of snapping duties....

[Jpan85]

Man am I excited to watch our line man handle people all year. Those are 5 nasty guys going to be the best unit in the league. Depth is also there Foketi and Couture could probably start for a lot of teams in the league.

Plus we have Spooner to develop and Gray in the pipeline.

[SPuDS]

its amazing that we can finally say that about our o-line lol.

[Booch]

yeah our O-line looks good, and for the next little while too...Makes even more sense to try and get some assets for Neufeld...we really don't need him and I would have no issue putting 80% of his salary into Behar if we could land him

I support this concept 110% I think we don't need Neufie anymore for depth and some squad could use him much more so then we could.

Any reports on Inztandztszt?

I thought he did not look out of place.

Well, he's still developing (with another team) while remaining property of the Bombers. So, he's technically in the pipeline.

In any case, it's nice to see the O-line becoming a strength of this team, rather than a massive liability.

Was listening to John Hodge interview on 1290 this afternoon on way home. Hodge opined that the Bomber O-line was probably the best in the league, that Poop Johnson way outplayed Okapalaugo (making Okapalaugo expendable?)  and that Hurl did poorly at MLB with Knox only marginally better if at all. He also had concerns about the Bombers defence in general.

LOL. Just really shows what he knows. 

Johnson and Okpalaugo play different position. One is a DT and the other a DE. 

Unless of course, he means (Jeff) Jackson  Jackson Jeffcoat

Bomber fans are so used to having now-winning pre-season's that its become the new reality that it's acceptable.

Sheesh... Doesn't sound like Hodge knows what he's talking about if he's comparing a DT and a DE.

Sad that 1290 can't do better.  The guy has no more credibility than a random poster on this forum.  No access, no sources, not an expert in any sense.

[AKAChip]

I strongly dislike Hodge and find that he comes up with a narrative and will skew is observations to match it. He also seems like he is trying very hard to appear objective which leads him to be overly negative about trivial things like preseason performance. Like judging the number one offence by their performance through two drives against the Esks backups. 

[Brandon]

I listened to Hodge... he did not say Poop Johnson outplayed Ogopogo.  

 

He said ^Poop had a solid game,  while Okapalaugo was not noticeable.  At no point did he reference position or outplaying.

Sounds to me that Poop outplayed Okapalaugo
