As an OSU fan I have watched a fair bit of Taylor Cornelius, and even watched him in the XFL because he was OSU alumni. Here is the skinny based on what I have seen.  Strong arm and can really zing it. Accuracy a big time issue on anything outside the tackles. He will look to make hay in the middle and seams. BIG, and strong, and actually really mobile. Not an easy sack at all and a surprisingly effective runner. The Bombers DL need to wrap up on this guy. Interception prone as he telegraphs some passes but gets away with it a lot more than he should because of his arm strength.  When he's in a rhythm he can be very good, when he's bad...he's really bad. Bombers need to force him to make throws outside the hashmarks and not escaping the pocket by breaking tackles. That's my 2 cents based on what I've seen.

Good report. Hopefully the pass rush plays disciplined and doesn’t get too sack-hungry and lose contain. Let him try to beat us with his arm from the pocket and confuse him with looks rather than all-out blitzes, even as tempting as it is with that o-line.

Is Harris really that hurt? 

Timing seems odd. 

Bombers hurt QBs legally 

Harris IS a ***** 

Some former elk talked about if u hit Harris he folds.. I'd say it's true

Seemed to be very turnover prone during his stint in the XFL. Hopefully that carries over into the CFL.

So basically, Bombers need to employ the same strategy they used on Fajardo. Collapse the pocket, stop the run and make him throw.

Similar, this guy can throw more than 20 yards by the looks of it.

Rotating coverage, and keeping the guy off kilter shoulder be pretty easy.

not a lot of long pass

Yes, I think so. He left practice today. 

Apparently, he was cleared to practice. 

 

Tough case of Jeffitis. Clears up in four games, I think. 

He left practice early yesterday. He shud have been on Weds injury report.

TL/DR: NOT the best QB in Tampa last year.

time to swing a deal to bring in Dom Davis....

Its possible Ottawa releases Nichols. They just signed another QB.

They now have 5 QBs under contract.

I'm giggling about how tweaked Riders fans are going to be about this... "THEY ONLY PLAY TEAMS THAT ARE FULL OF INJURIES!!11!!"

Riders media has already started.

Almost makes you want to sit Collaros and continue clown-pounding the league with McGuire.

Make him throw and we'll be fine. He may move the ball at at times but his accuracy is not great.

Yeah, injuries are a part of that football. How many more Grey Cups would the Bombers have if Dunigan and Glenn didn't get injured.

More hard hitting analysis from Canada's backwater.

Thanks, Blair. great work out there. Low level hack

Screw that, just punt on first down to set even more defensive records. Bonus is it gives Leggio extra practice 😂

Yes, I read that and thought next up for Blair's reporting - "if humans don't get enough oxygen, they die", "water is wet" and other truisms.

Soooo, if all the other teams are bum teams and we beat them all, does that not still make us the best?

We didn't even have to hit him before he folded though... how's that for power from our D?

Right lmao. If collaros goes down, the bombers are still the best team in the league.

The Riders starting QB has missed zero games.

Why are they acting like they have capable backups? Because Harker came in and threw 20 5 yard passes in a blow out?

Wasn't bringing those excuses when our starter and backup were out in 2019. Or 2018. 

******* clown

Somebody tell the four stripes they'd be the three stripes if not for a QB injury so they shut up.

Not throwing shade but . . .

This is how everyone’s drunk uncle starts his sentence sometimes for fun replacing shade with racism, discrimination, homophobia etc etc etc.

Seeing rider fans ***** and crying is almost as good as a Bomber win. 

Pretty entertaining how much time we spend in thier heads.
