Atomic Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Huge game. Montreal looks like they will be the Bombers' main competition for the final playoff spot. Sergio Castillo is on the roster. I'm guessing the two healthy scratches will be Selvish Capers and D. Johnson, with Castillo coming on as the punter. Nick Moore out. Justin Veltung in. For the first time in awhile we are not dressing a backup American defensive back. Risky.
gbill2004 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Yes very interesting with Castillo on the roster. Stoudermire would be the backup DB if there were an injury. Or Sherman could play SAM with Legget playing a DB spot, or a Canadian DB plays. Lots of options...
Ducky Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Bombers 18-10 with the Bomber D getting some points.
KptKrunch Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Big game for Nichols here in Bomberland. If Nichols falters and the Al's beat us things will get ugly for the poor guy might quick. I just hope the good folks remember that 1 - Montreal has a great defense and 2 - this is only Nichols second start and second full week of practice. A poor showing today is no indicative of who he is. And he is, by far, our best choice as a backup to Willy and he is not a full time #1 guy. blitzmore, Atomic and Fan Boy 3

Nichols played Montreal earlier this season (although didn't play very well) and won so that gives me a level of comfort.
Noeller Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Good Montreal D but should be a winnable game for us with any kind of consistency on O.
Doublezero Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Interesting that Castillo is activated, putting heat on LH. And what's with Moore? He was on video yesterday - saying he will play. This will be a good test between teams that look evenly matched. Can Bombers produce Banjo Bowl levels of enthusiasm and effort - especially from ST and D? Nichols has the leadership to instill a bit of confidence in the O, it seems, but I'd gameplan to run run run the football. Looking forward to watching this game on TV.
BBlink Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 We can put Stoudermire at DB in a pinch.
iso_55 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 If we can shut down the Montreal O which is doable I think then e can win this game. I don't like the Als qbs... Not a Jonathan Crompton fan, Marsh just sucks & I think we have figured out how to defend Cato. Our offense will have to counter everything Noel Thorpe throws at us.
Booch Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 Jones can play DB if someone goes down
SPuDS Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone know what castillo will be doing this game, if anything? Hes gotta be involved if they were using a spot for him id assume?
gbill2004 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone know what castillo will be doing this game, if anything? Hes gotta be involved if they were using a spot for him id assume? Castillo won't be active today. It's just a way to allow him to get paid.

Not a Jonathan Crompton fan, Marsh just sucks & I think we have figured out how to defend Cato. Our offense will have to counter everything Noel Thorpe throws at us. Our revamped O line might struggle a bit against this team. Can Nichols get passes out quickly to somebody? hope so.
Slingin Sammy Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Huge game. Montreal looks like they will be the Bombers' main competition for the final playoff spot. Sergio Castillo is on the roster. I'm guessing the two healthy scratches will be Selvish Capers and D. Johnson, with Castillo coming on as the punter. Nick Moore out. Justin Veltung in. For the first time in awhile we are not dressing a backup American defensive back. Risky. Penton tweeted this out Sergio Castillo won't be dressing for the #Bombers tomorrow. Castillo and Capers look to be the scratches which means we're dressing 7 Dlineman. I think we can expect a healthy dose of Mtl's run game. Not expecting our O to really dominate time of possession so our D might be grinding it out on the field quite a bit. I like this roster for that reason. Both offences are struggling...this will likely be a defensive battle. A bit shocked by Castillo coming on to the 46...but it gets him a game cheque and maybe sends a bit of a message to Lirim after he had arguably his worst game as a BB in the Banjo Bowl. For the first time this year, I'm impressed with what appears to be strategic thinking from MOS and his coaching staff... Mark F 1

Tweeted back his butt was on fire. How relevant is that?
Westy Sucks Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Hope we sneak in a trick on special teams this week. Then I think the d needs to win it for us
KptKrunch Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Game time soon. With the loss by Hamilton and the win by Ottawa - Montreal needs this game as much as us. It could be game of the week (Edm / Ham was a dog of epic proportions - didn't see the B.C./Cal Ott/Sask Game). It should be game of the week. Montreal can afford to lose the game, we can't.
Goalie Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Ottawa Sask was game of the week so far by far.
Fatty Liver Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Interesting comment on the Pre-Game Show, Joe Popp is in play-off mode and Mike O'Shea is not. Again O'Shea defers to the old "the players know the importance of this game and don't have to be told".
Mr Dee Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 In any sport I've played, or for that matter, in any event I've participated in, I've always known the significance of the event I was in. And that was amateur stuff. These guys are professionals. Saying that they are in "playoff mode" does not make it any more so. Game preparation? Yes. Talk preparation? That's radio show stuff.

Goalie Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 It's not lose and your done do it's really not playoff mode at all. It's just a big game
TBURGESS Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 We lose and they're 2 points up on us with a game in hand. We win and we're 2 points up and they have to win the game in hand + an extra win or tie.
Stickem Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Looks like we're not ready for this one, and I wouldn't play down the significance of this game, if you look at our schedule vs. the Als....Hopefully we can find our game soon or it's going to be along afternoon.
Stickem Posted September 20, 2015 Report Posted September 20, 2015 Also good to see that Mike O has taken over special teams and we practiced it a lot this last week....what a joke...Is there any other positions open at Guelph.
