😄 Same here, I have very high expectations for JY bringing a new spark. I haven't heard a peep about Hall this TC, other than people talking about JY taking over for him.

Agree. That might be the best case scenario for him this year. I think Biggie is another bomber destined to become an ast coach. Though I'm not entirely sure how we will work him in with stanley being the LB and analytics coach currently. Maybe Hall retires and makes a spot, or maybe bourgoin takes over RBs to go along with Wrs.

I expect we will see our 5th wr / KR do a lot more of it than ever before. We ran down dressler really bad with that role. Then Demski came in and filled it masterfully while blocking his tail off and being a depth wr. Now, demski is a mainstay of our passing attack and getting older, having trouble staying healthy. We banged up schoen at the worst time of year doing that, woli and lawler aren't the guys to run that package at all. I think brady will expand with more screen stuff, but especially the sweep and wide out screens jail break etc will almost certainly go to our kr/5th. I think streveler might find some use in those packages as well.

I wouldn't hate it if Bighill has an extended stay on the IL... provide leadership and mentorship to the new comers... and saves the Bombers on player cap and coaching cap... win-win

Fine, got me on a technicality but the Oilers and Leafs and everyone else suck except us even when we do.

I think you'll be surprised by who we deploy in those screens/sweeps!

That would be good, but doesn’t seem the direction we are going. All our imps for that last spot are very wirey and don’t have that skill or reputation currently. If these guys don’t work out I could see us rolling the extra ni and doing just that.

Yup. Totally. I need to avoid falling into the old man trap of thinking it’s a bad get because it wasn’t what I was expecting. Big name. Tons of hits. Should put on a great show for the TV and live audience.

To be honest, 5th receiver isn't a position I expect a lot of production out of. What I do expect from that spot is someone who blocks well in both the pass and run game and be incredibly efficient with the touches he does get - he needs to buy in and play his role well.

Im excited to see how our new D cooridnator cooks things up. A younger view should be beneficial.

It will. His opportunities will improve, but his play making won't imo. He did a lot of catch and run stuff, the PA roll out screen, the jet sweep etc. He will have more room and get the ball in a better position but I think he will still get taken down by the first guy most of the time. I don't think he has that escapability, shifty, quick twitch style, or the power to break any tackles. He reminds me of a less stocky vinny sutherland. Straight line pretty decent wheels, down with first contact. We will see soon enough.

Scheme/plays/qb play will all improve.

Not my cup of tea but they'll bring eyes to the game.

A bit of a letdown.

Except well, 7 attempts to involve him, 5 touches, 25 yards. Maybe he will do better in real games, but it doesn’t often happen that guys play better vs starters than teams 2/3/4.

Come on Ambrose give me a break!

So they have a better show at the Lions home opener than they do for the GC? 😂

Kinda like Mitchell who did that last game.

Jonas brothers to perform at half time at the grey cup.

Wouldn’t mind if we’d grab one or two guys if they are willing to go to the pr while we sort out the secondary.

Either way, I think we will still be in the market for a wr. Probably see more nfl cuts cycle through. It’s not a high priority spot like RT imo, but finding some one who can bring some thing different would be great. A kr catch and run guy who can run the sweep would be nice.

Sheed was here from start of camp....got knicked....sat on the PR and eventually replaced Lucky....he didnt put in a yr before that seasoning on the PR

yea....seems odd, but I guess they like the others more....and nice to see a team go with new blood and not lean on the "vet" reasoning to roster who may be inferior.....

I am seeing some odd contradictory stats on various sites with 4,5 and 9 starts. I think what happened was he was here in tc, got hurt came back to the pr then the bouncing before locking in a spot around ld. At most he spent about a half season bouncing between the ir and pr, with about as much time on the ir. And yeah he was one of those odd guys who came to the cfl didn’t really play and got to the nfl then came back. Made good money down south too I think a couple mil. I would bet on him breaking it for sure

Will this be the year O’Shea ties/breaks Grants win record? O’Shea is at 96, Grant was 105. 9-9 season ties the record. Pretty incredible start to his coaching career.
