gbill2004 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Posted August 17, 2014 Maybe the Bombers should sign Lance Moore to keep Nick happy... Bombers should sign every players brother, sister, parent, cousin, aunt and uncle so we never lose a player ever again.
SPuDS Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Do we expect to hear the "official" signing during the interview today? Also, do we recall ever having brothers playing on the opposite sides of the ball (and line) before? I remember the ball bros in the secondary and the boyko bros on the special teams... Glen and Colin Scrivener. Both D. That's right... There was another scrivener.. Good call..
iso_55 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 So then, he's a Colt? He's a Bomber. Colts cut him last week. Good, hope he works out.

Glen and Colin Scrivener. Both D. One of the Scrivs is a bad guy. Involved with drugs & a biker gang. I think he was an enforcer & a collector. If you owed money or did somebody wrong in the underworld you might have to deal with him. He did some serious time behind bars. Might be Colin. The other Scriv is a good guy. Owns his own business & a former coach with the Rifles. I think that's Glen. The tale of 2 brothers.

Tracker Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 It looks like he has the pass blocking down, but it would have been nice to see him blocking on a few sweeps. Speed is hard to assess on the clips.
Jpan85 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 If he has the energy of brother could be a good find.
James Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 I'd like to here jbr's thoughts on the clip... I pretty much consider him the OL guru of the site To me it looks like he's a beast against inferior competition... Impossible to move and strong as a bull
James Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/08/18/brothers-in-blue-andersons-flying-high-after-chad-joins-zach-with-bombers Zach and Chad Anderson are one step closer to living their childhood dream. The Anderson brothers from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. have already played NCAA football together with the Northern Michigan University Wildcats, but now they’re teammates in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Just wait until they step on the field together in an actual game at the professional level. Chad Anderson is an offensive lineman who was recently cut by the Indianapolis Colts of the NFL and was officially added to the Blue Bombers practice roster on Monday, while Zach Anderson is in his second season as a defensive tackle with the Blue Bombers. “I love him to death and because we’ve been together for so long, I feel like we’re twins,” said Chad Anderson, who spent time with the LA Kiss of the Arena Football League before he was signed by the Colts in July. “We can talk to one another without saying anything. Having that kind of bond feels special and to be able to continue it, where most people at this age will drift and do your own things, is an honour. It’s unreal.” Growing up, pushing one another to new heights was the name of the game for the Anderson brothers. “Every sport was competitive,” said Zach Anderson. “We wrestled against each other, did track and field and football, of course. Our parents were gym owners, so we’re always competitive in the weight room. We’ve been training partners since we were little kids.” Zach Anderson was thrilled to hear that his brother was being brought on board by the Blue Bombers. “He’s kind of like a gentle giant off the field, but on the field, he can get nasty,” said Zach. “If I could, I’d wish everybody had a brother they could play football with. It just raises the bar that much more. We’re real close. We shared the same room until I was 16-years-old. I’m glad to have him here. It means a lot. You have someone who knows you personally, on a different level than anyone else would know you. He knows what I went through going in (to the CFL) from when he was still in college. He got cut by the Colts just like I got cut by the (Cleveland) Browns. “He’s a big guy and I think he’ll be good for us. As the older brother, I’m going to show him around so he doesn’t have to go through that awkward phase. I’m going to help get him comfortable with everybody so he can get right to work.” Before he was cut by the Colts, Chad Anderson played the fourth quarter against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 7 in his first taste of NFL action. “That was like walking into the Colosseum,” said Anderson, noting that his strength is his biggest asset. “It was an amazing experience. What stands out the most was seeing all the players you’ve been watching on TV for years in person.” Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea isn’t planning to make any changes to the offensive line this week for Friday’s game against the Montreal Alouettes. When it comes to where Chad Anderson might fit into the equation down the road, O’Shea said it depends on how quickly he adapts to the CFL game and picks up the Blue Bombers’ system. While O’Shea didn’t want to pigeonhole Anderson to a particular position, it’s more likely he’ll fit in at guard rather than tackle. Most of all, O’Shea liked the scouting report on Chad Anderson that was provided to him by the scouting staff. “As they put it, he was a three-hour mauler,” said O’Shea. “He would give maximum effort for hours on end and physically, beat people up. That’s a good thing, a good start.” _____________________________________________________________________________________ I personally love the idea of having a man beast at RG and shifting Neufeld out to Tackle. Neufeld is more of a finesse type of guy anyway and is probably and upgrade on Howard . I think Neufeld struggles to push the big DT's in this league around in the ru game Chad, Chris and Steve in the middle of the line could really get things going for us Mark F 1
gbill2004 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Posted August 20, 2014 Interesting article. I just assumed he'd eventually replace Howard at right tackle, but moving Neufeld to right tackle and Anderson to right guard also makes a lot of sense and should help improve the run game.
bearpants Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 If only the Anderson bros were from just north across the bridge.... I think they should be close enough to be considered nationals.... right???? Anyways, having Greaves at 310 lbs, Morley at 315 lbs and Anderson at 315 lbs would be some nice size on the inside of the line
