So, ask yourselves, would he really have been better here, with the lineup we were putting out in the past? Those funky, semi-sidearm throwing mechanics of ZC, do not translate as well, from deep in the pocket..... as they do, when he throws it while on the move.... Edited June 26, 2017 by do or die
bigg jay Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Some big injuries going around early in the season.

bearpants Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 that's really unfortunate... hate to see stars go down... only one week in and Sherritt and Toliver already out for the year... JCon 1

johnzo Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Sure love the SJ Green comeback, though. Dude was vintage in his first game back. Great to see. Hope he stays healthy and vacuums up a lot of those soft Ray throws. CodyT, Al Bundy, bluto and 1 other 4
peggars Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) reported that Bear Woods signed for $110,000 in toronto. He was an absolute beast last weekend, man i wish the bombers would have made a play on him. Thats less than Kenny Stafford money we gave him before cutting him. Edit: box score had him at 3 DTs? That didnt seem right the dude was everywhere that game. Edited June 27, 2017 by peggars Tracker 1

peggars Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Lets hope poop is a RoY candidate on the line and makes Hurl's presence on D more tolerable.

Geroy Simon who became one of the all time leaders isn't the same guy that was young just returning from the NFL and Bobby Gordon was Khari's safety blanket at receiver, you don't just drop a guy like that. The real choice was Bruce or Simon and in that case it's hard to argue one way or the other because they were both damned good. SPuDS and bearpants 2
Noeller Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Geroy Simon, while a very good receiver, is massively overrated.... SPuDS 1
johnzo Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Yeah, Bobby G. was a great receiver ... I watched him for a year in Ottawa and he got his thousand yards even with a bunch of terrible QBs. Hard to cut him in favor of a promising sophomore. SPuDS 1

rebusrankin Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Actually they could have cut Mills or Blount when Geroy came back because we had three running backs on the roster at the time. Might not have needed Simon in 01 but would have been a great future investment and we didn't need three running backs by then because Roberts had emerged. TBURGESS 1

Ian and Sam are a great combo. I think everyone already knows this... it's the lack of natural athleticism and speed that holds him back... and like @Atomic mentioned, that also accurately describes Greg Peach...

Hardly a guy anyone was ready to completely hitch their wagon too. I think there were injuries amongst those running backs as well, plus there's the fact that there's only one football and they played some Canadians at receiver too. They set up the roster in such a way that it was unlikely to just pile on more American receivers. Yeah hind sight says one thing, but having to share the ball with Milt and Gordon and Bruce likely winds up with Geroy Simon not being an all time receiver. SPuDS 1

Gordon was a ridiculously talented receiver for finding the open spots on the field and for possession. Id have kept him over Simon at that point too..

There was also a money issue (as in BC offered more)... I met Milt some time around 05/06 at a charity event (it was a relatively small dinner so I actually had a chance to have some real conversation with him)... I asked him about Geroy and he said it he wanted to come back but he, understandably, followed the money...
