O2L Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Apologies if this is buried in another thread somewhere, but I thought everyone should check this out. I enjoyed watching this so much. It really felt like I was on the sideline with the team during the game (once you get past the intro/travel). I hope that the Bombers plan on doing this every week, one of the best pieces of football content I've seen in forever! https://www.bluebombers.com/2017/07/05/micd-up-weston-dressler/ Also, so happy we have Dressler!!

yogi Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Loved it. Bombers media dept is doing pretty awesome work the last while. And I'll never get tired of seeing Jermarcus Hendrick pick up and parade around every touchdown scorer. And also Medlock after his game winner haha. Sard, Logan007, Noeller and 1 other 4
Noeller Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 I think my favourite part was Dressler coaching up young players on the sideline and just how vocal he was I general. Love that type of personality in the heat of battle. SPuDS, Nickthesizz and Logan007 3
Super Duper Negatron Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Dressler is good at football. I mean, even when he wore Rider green we somehow all still respected him. He must be doing something right. SPuDS, Nickthesizz and Logan007 3

Mr Dee Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 ?? What I'm only beginning to realize, after watching him now for a year and a bit, is how good and complete a player Weston Dressler really is.. For the 'W' SPuDS, Nickthesizz and Logan007 3

For the 'W' yea I was very excited when we signed him in the off-season last year. Hes just so talented and usually very durable for his size. Watching him light us (and other teams) up for all those years in Saskabush shoulda soured me on him but hes just too good a player to not root for and now seeing the other side of the equation (how good a teammate he is, how well he works on the teams and whatnot) just solidifies how good of a pickup he has been..

Logan007 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 That was a great video. They did a great job with that. Dressler is the man. You can tell someone is a good man when even after they move teams, the other team and even fans go up and hug and high five him. Sard, Mr Dee, Jimmy Pop and 2 others 5
O2L Posted July 6, 2017 Author Report Posted July 6, 2017 I loved how he told Washington that a big play was coming his way and just to be ready when it does, then boom, touchdown. His support of and belief in his teammates was great, and not just with the O. Seeing Loffler giving him props, or Dressler cheering Legget on after the BS no-fumble call, or even Medlock thanking him for reigning in the snap on a field goal. Just such a solid teammate. Also, two TDs in 25 seconds, and then he's running back to be the holder for both! Talk about a blue collar kind of guy! Sard, Nickthesizz, Jimmy Pop and 1 other 4

He is married to a Regina girl and there's bound to be inlaw's and/or cousins and interconnected family.

Fan Boy Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 I enjoyed the talk between the receivers and QB. Just gives you an idea about how much success comes from the friendships. Sard 1

Fatty Liver Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Just curious on those FG kicks Dressler doesn't call for the snap and I don't hear anything from Medlock either. How does the C. know when to snap the ball?

I thought maybe the signal to snap was when Dressler puts up his hand to receive the ball. Edited July 6, 2017 by Throw Long Bannatyne Jimmy Pop 1
Mike Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Anyone notice one of the guys he goes up to at the end in the stands is Chris Getzlaf? Awesome piece. I truly want nothing more than to see Dressler's time with the Riders be the early stages of his career and for him to go in the CFHOF as a Bomber. Would love to see him resigned after this season. Fun fact: that TD vs SSK was the longest play of his career. Sard, Nickthesizz, Jimmy Pop and 3 others 6
Mark F Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 They are all very intense. These players seem very down to earth. I really like their demeanour.

The Conversations between he and Nichols were great, just seems like the most likable guy and I really hope he stays a part of this organization for a long time. SPuDS, Sard and Tracker 3

Tracker Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 Bombers won't win every game this year, but they sure look to be a tight bunch. And Dressler is class all the way. Good to have him on board with us. Mark F and SPuDS 2
do or die Posted July 6, 2017 Report Posted July 6, 2017 We specifically targeted Dressler as a FA....and considering his savvy, production, leadership etc.......he is worth every single cent. SPuDS, Nickthesizz and wbbfan 3

QFT. Weve hit and miss with some FAs, but man did we ever hit with dressler. I wish he had come over sooner.
