[Best Gameplan to beat BC]

I've gotta bad feeling that were gonna get our asses handed to us in this game. They've got to somehow limit Harris' touches and Make Glenn beat us with his arm. Which hopefully means he throws up a lot of picks. I think that's our only chance IMO.

[Best Gameplan to beat BC]

Quick slants and dump/screen passes to the running backs. Double tight end sets and bring in the fullback for extra protection cause the 5-6 receiver sets are gonna get Willy killed. Are o line just isn't good enough and Willy need to get rid of the ball quicker. He's got to have the internal clock in his head and after 4 steamboats get rid of the ball.

[Just watched the replay of the Als game]

On the game winning drive, Montreal blitzed on every play and were in Willy's grill every time. On the winning catch by JFG no blitz and Montreal drops back into coverage and JFG is wide open. Bit of a head scratcher. Cox was way out of position.

[Great News for TV viewers: Dunigan doing color Thursday]

Dunigan just announced on TSN Big Show that he's flying into Wpg and will be doing color during the Edmonton vs. WInnipeg game Thursday nite at IGF.

 

I assume this means Gord Miller (who has great chemistry with Mattster) will be doing play by play.

 

I don't know if the tall foreheads at TSN actually went thru the slog of doing an analysis of Rod Black's work last weekend but if they did they would have seen a guy who basically knows next to nothing about the game and is very willing to expound on it every friggin' play. The alternative hypothesis is TSN executives are dumber than Black (which is hard to believe but entirely within the realm of possibility)

 

Black was goofing up on virtually every series. Something fierce. His best line "Its a first down or maybe its not?" The guy operates in such an area of uncertainy hip-hopping with arrogance. 

 

But Matt & G Miller doing the game is a nice reward for loyal viewers. And the 29,000 to 30,500 in the stands? You guys can always PVR the game and watch it later.

Miller and Matt are TSN's best football duo. IMHO. Black's incompetence is only trumped by his screaming and yelling for a 4 yard gain. I'm a fan of the minamalists, Pat Summerall, Jack Buck, Ray Scott. Let the play tell the story and stop faking excitement.

[Bombers have made a trade ...]

With all the injuries in the east this year - I suspect Walters has someone boxed into a corner. Either Kent Austin or Jim Popp.

 

Not many of our PR or IR guys have that much value 1 on 1 for a starting (Top 6) OL, particularly a national.

 

However, I strongly suspect a package deal this time

 

Involving 2 bomber players going elsewhere plus some neg. rights in exchange for a quality OL (national or international). Deal is deeper for Walters if its a national OL.

 

My best guess - Watson & Suber plus neg rights to Andy Mulumba for a starting OL (who isn't currently injured). If Mulumba gets himself cut and ends up in the CFL Walters should also make the trade conditional so we get a 2nd rd pick from whoever got Mulumba.

 

Addendum: I take everything back. Totally underwhelming!!! I guess there's major concern about Brohm or Marve handling the reins should Willy go down!

As much as Watson is the Bombers answer to Humpty Dumpty, I can't see the Bombers trading a starting Canadian receiver (when healthy). Their canadian depth at all positions isn't exactly stellar.
