I assume he was referencing Roberts .... 8 hours ago, Mr Dee said: Bombers are underdogs heading into this game according to the casinos. Good.

Geebrr Posted November 21, 2019 Report Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) As a team leader, Milt should have done what he needed to do to get his team focused. He can't just distance himself from it. Comments over the years from guys I considered leaders on previous teams have been very telling/disappointing as to their contribution to the drought. The leaders on this team...no concerns Edited November 21, 2019 by Geebrr Mark H., Noeller, Rubanski and 3 others 3 2 1
Floyd Posted November 21, 2019 Report Posted November 21, 2019 Some pretty cool storylines shaping up... Osh v. Steinhauer - they two 'next great coaches' Collaros v. Lawrence - you know Simoni is going to try to take him out of the game Davis v. WillieJ - who's the best DE Richie Hall against the best REC core in the league... Banks v. Harris in the big game

I thought it was crazy that they would be out of 3000 signs so quickly. Hopefully they’re good to go tomorrow and I can add this one to my other lawn sign. Just picked up a Grey Cup sign at the IG Bomber store. Pretty busy but there was still a pile of signs left. Picked up some merch and Christmas gifts while there. Was a costly trip though as my vehicle got rear ended on the way home. Ah well. I’m just happy to have my sign! Geebrr 1

You realize at one point he was behind only Mike Reilly in deep plays right? I dont understand this narrative. Do people forget how games went earlier this year? Nichols when he needs to/is able to can and will throw the ball deep. I'll give Collaros the edge in escaping pressure and getting the ball out, but people acting like Nichols didnt throw it deep is just weird. The anti Nichols bias in some it way to strong. They don't see the facts or stats, they just don't like the way he plays. Agree on the deep ball. Agree on escapeability. Bigblue204 1

Booch Posted November 21, 2019 Report Posted November 21, 2019 Another interesting off topic thing is Holly Jefferson (Willie's wife) commenting on Instagram " you changed your life when you changed your environment..this season has been a complete blessing" Goes to solidify and confirm the power of a solid lockeroom and core of guys..and individuals who battle for each other..like in Winnipeg...as opposed to where he was...which shows in the amount of individualism and douchbaggery seen out to our west..be shocked if he didnt re-up here bigg jay, Geebrr, M.O.A.B. and 9 others 7 1 3 1

You have no idea what those teams were like (neither do I). Roberts for example, smoked and didn't work out. BTW he was STILL one the best RB of all time.

rebusrankin Posted November 21, 2019 Report Posted November 21, 2019 Why are people dumping on Milt instead of condeming Charles Roberts for by all accounts partying all week in Montreal leading up to the 07 Grey Cup and then underperforming in that game? blue_gold_84, Bubba Zanetti, Jesse and 2 others 5

I dislike Milt the more I hear him talk What should he have done exactly? He led on the field and in all likelihood led in the locker room. Stegall has been praised by basically every teammate he's ever had. The man is a consummate professional. What else should he have done to get another player in line? Roberts did what he wanted off the field because what he typically did on it was so insanely positive; he led by example on the field consistently. I'm not sure what any teammate of his could've said or done to rein in his off field behaviour. I think the issue is this: Roberts took for granted his natural talent as he aged, failing to realize late nights and partying take a toll. He has nobody to blame but himself for that attitude. That being said, it boggles my mind to think what he might have been capable of had he committed to taking better care of himself (not smoking, less partying, etc.). Yourface 1
