Clip from a Jamaal Westerman interview on CFL.ca KC: If you could be stranded on a deserted island with any teammate you’ve ever played with in the CFL, who would it be and why? JW: I would say my brother (Jabar Westerman) but he’s a vegan so we’re not going to be eating any food! It’s going to be all, ‘here’s some berries.’ So maybe not my brother. I also would want my mom to be like, ‘two of my sons are gone.’ So maybe it would be Jake Thomas. We played together in Winnipeg. He’s a really good friend of mine. He would be fun to be on a deserted island with. He’s not that fast so if anything is chasing us, I’ll probably get away. https://www.cfl.ca/2018/07/26/tmi-jamaal-westerman-creature-habit/

Game Day Notes - Blue Bombers with 3 straight 100's: Andrew Harris has a streak of 3 straight 100-yard rushing games coming into this game. Willard Reaves' feat of 8 straight in 1984 is the club record. Reaves is the only Bomber to rush for 100 yards in 4 or more straight games. -Mike Pringle holds the CFL record of 13 straight 100 yd rushing games.. - Andrew Harris: Leads the CFL in rushing with 610 yards and is trying to become the first Blue Bomber to lead the league two years in a row since Charles Roberts in 2005-6. Harris had a career-high 161-yard rushing total last week and has 409 yards on 52 carries over his last 3 games. - Weston Dressler 118 straight: Dressler's current consecutive game reception streak is up to 118 in a row (last game w/o a catch: Aug 12/10). Dressler's 118-game streak is the 8th longest in CFL history (next ahead at #7 is Craig Ellis at 120 in a row). He needs 68 yards to pass Tony Gabriel (9,832) for #18 all-time and is 235 yards away from becoming the CFL's 17th 10,000 yard receiver. Weston is 7 short of becoming the CFL's 13th player to reach 700 career receptions. - James Wilder Jr. focus: Opponents have emphasized stopping him since his rookie season excellence - over the last 2 games he has 15 runs for just 24 yards with a long of only 5. As a receiver however, he has 12 catches for 104 yards in those two games. Will he play tonight? - Jackson Jeffcoat: Was blanked in the first three games this year but has 4 QB Sacks in his last 3 games. - James Franklin: The Argos have gone 1-2 with Franklin as their starter at QB after their tough 38-20 loss to Winnipeg last week. - Bomber runs: With 160 rushes so far they are on pace for 480 in 2018, the most by any club since Saskatchewan in 2002 (493). - O-Line Continuity: Winnipeg has started the same 5-man offensive line in every game this year and that streak extends back 8 games to the end of 2017. Consecutive start streaks ... Stanley Bryant 71 games, Matthias Goossen 46, Jermarcus Hardrick 33, Sukh Chungh 24 and Patrick Neufeld 8. - Toronto at 1-4 / 1-5?: The last time that the Argos were 1-4 out of the gate was in 2014 but they won Game #6 that year. The last time they fell to a 1-5 start was in 2011 when they started out 1-6. - No offensive TDs: The Bombers held Toronto without an offensive TD last week - the last time that the Bombers 'D' accomplished that was in the final game of 2017 vs CGY (23-5). Toronto was last held w/o an Off. TD was on Aug 26/17 vs Calgary. - Field position starts: The Bombers are tied with Calgary for #1 in this key aspect. They have started on average at their own 39- yard line, well above the 35-yard line CFL-wide spot. That translates into an advantage of 320+ yards of additional field position.0

My 3 keys: 😁

if ricky ray played for the bombers and got sacked what would it be called? sack ray bleu. 😫

In all honesty, I'll probably have beer tonight

We get it, you don't like Hall. Not sure what you're going to do if his defense keeps improving, but feel free to not slag him in every other post you make. That would be grand.

We get it, you live in Saskatchewan.

Thomkins maybe "a dude" but he's not "The Dude"....

Columnists like Brodbeck care less about accurate facts and more about manufacturing outrage.

I'd assume $150 000 which isn't bad IMO. Bowman came cheap and we would of had to pay someone else anyways for his spot on the roster so he wasn't that much of a waste. It's not like other teams haven't burned money on guys who did nothing. Look at the Riders starting QB and how much he contributed....

anniversary : https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/07/26/matt-nichols-game-changer/ really good article about Nichols. also revealed:, an O'Shea joke. check it out folks, that could be it for an O'Shea jest this season. Ed Tait is must read.

He wanted him because hes a big target who used to be reliable and able to get open. This year and last, not so much. so we moved on. not quite sure why people are so up in arms about it. it didnt work out. oh well.. next man up. its not like we were losing games because of him or our offense. Bomber fans gonna bomber fan I suppose

I listened to James Franklin being interviewed this afternoon on 1290. He came across as intelligent, not egotistical, knowledgeable and with a sense of humour. Overall, he seems to be an asset to his team and league- I hope does well (but not tonight) and is around for a long time.

That is awesome.

Just like there being a Trump tweet for everything, there is a Guiliani video for everything:

I do lack the visionary abilities of Chris Jones.

Sir, you are missing what and exceptional DB/HB he would be.

Maybe they will instead interview the musical half time show guests who don't watch football but even then still have enough awareness to pause when a team scores a TD as they assumed the PBP guys would of mentioned the play....

Best part of that trailer... Gary Oldman now has "Academy Award Winner" next to his name, about freaking time

Nik Lewis‏Verified account @nikel18 14h14 hours ago More U as fans see Vernon not playing well. I see preparation. He is not prepared to play better. He hasn't seen blitzes very well and that is all preparation.

My 3 keys: 1. Stop turning over the damn football - way too many, the last 2 games.... 2. Keep Franklin in the pocket - make him get it done from there 3. Keep Harris on his roll

Tom Brady would look like Tee Martin behind that o-line, honestly was not watching that close but i wonder why the Als don't run max protect like the Ticats do.

The only reason he’s a difference maker is because he’s Canadian, but he’s not in the discussion for best LB’s in the league. Ackie might be more of a difference maker for the Als.

Feel sorry for Adams, he played ok, his team mates other than sutton did not, his coachs were bad. J Manziel can't be looking forward to his turn.

The Als tackling has been terrible all game long.

Why? He only likely knows 10 plays and would be killed out there. Adams isn't the issue.. Oline coaching and the kicker is. But sure Put Manziel in so he can be murdered.

Thats how he likes to be known

Well, cancel the qb controversy

No doubt, here's a split screen so you can't see the replay or the play that's happening.

How hard is it to upgrade, from nothing?

Then he’ll die.

One of the best coach's and nicest guys in the history of the club.

it would be a 3 point game if bede didnt suck

jesus bede

Man the Montreal receivers suck.

They also quit using the QB rollout, Adams's bread and

Gable is such a lucky ****.

Do Aaron Grymes friends call him Grimey?

He's gone next season. But no worries for the Esks. They'll have Zylstra back by then & Walker. They won't miss a beat.

******* Reilly. He just chucks it downfield & those receivers catch everything. He doesn't even read the field.

I hate the split screen replay. Just start the replay earlier.

Which is why he and the Sun, are a good fit

Bauming - Nichols says receiver Kenbrell Thompkins is “a dude” and possesses the tools and skill set to be the next big time receiver in the CFL. You don’t often hear things like that — says a lot about what might’ve gone into the decision to move on from Bowman. #Bombers A dude and a blue chipper.... Not bad.

Ah. Le petite mort.

Black is going to wait until the pass is over 10 yards?

Wonder what happens to Tillman if and this is a big if, Johnny Football brings back Mtl to beat out Hammy this year? Or if Masoli gets hurt and Hammy misses the playoffs? This sure made the East a lot more interesting.
