  1. Well, if Willy does play, he better stay in the freaking pocket and hook slide. I like what Suits said about Reilly today - if he runs and doesn't hook slide - FINE HIM - Bombers should do the same to Willy. Still really pissed at that guy (Willy) - 30 seconds left in the half and he's not only running for a first down he's trying for extra yardage.

    I really thought he was smarter than that. For crissakes - every single defense in the league (including ours) just salivates when a QB is in running in the open field. EVERYONE is looking to take his head off. EVERYONE! Get the farg down!!!!

    If he doesn't - goodbye Willy - I'll send cards to you at the Health Science center.

    yeah I just hate when players show that battle level, much rather have a team full of *******.

    :rolleyes:

    Please provide an example of QB with a high "battle level" were the story ended well.

    Kerry Joseph did win a Grey Cup and then kind of faded away but it wasn't due to injuries. He wasn't a great quarterback but he had an outstanding "battle level."

  2. Bombers won't win with Willy anyway - like I said in the other thread (Walters) ONE and FIVE in the last six, and that ONE was at home against Alex Brink. Bombers have come back down to earth. They're still miles ahead of last year, but we were lapped a few times so that's not saying a lot. Hamilton is playing well, Collaros (who I picked in TSN fantasy this week) is playing much better now that he understands Austin's offense - yeah, Willy should sit this one out as even a healthy Willy loses this game. Sorry folks, facts are facts and my pessimism is back on. 

    On another note - Eskies should trounce the Riders on Friday :)

    I agree with you for the most part, but I pray that the Eskies do beat the Riders, otherwise the ex-pat Rider fans on this forum will be insufferable. Somehow, I think they just might.

    Commonwealth has traditionally been a death zone for the Riders. Even with Durant I felt the Commonwealth game would be a loss. Hopefully I am wrong.

  3. Not sure they need Boudreaux and don't like moving down in the draft two years in a row.

    Boudreaux is already good and only 25. He's much younger then the other International defensive ends on the roster. David Lee and Ainsworth are support players/special team guys right now and maybe always.

  4.  

     

    Crompton starting to look less like a guy who had no training camp and more like a real starter here.

    Signing him to be our backup would've been nice.

     

    Crompton had the misfortune to be in Edmonton when the circus was at Commonwealth, much like Elliott was here in Winnipeg last year, so in both cases, their real value was unknown.

     

    Crompton has the physical tools to be a CFL quarterback.  We'll see if he has what it takes between his ears.

  5. Well, I want a new RB who will finish the year, with all the carries, and with a 7.8 yd avg.

    A new receiver, 6'6" and very quick - he doesn't have to be handsome.

    One of them there Amer. RTackles that will blow away a Bassie or Marcus Howard and be a teamer.

    A brand spanking new D-Lineman to come in and disrupt the entire league and force O-Lines to fear him and for Rod Black to coo him.

    Linebackers (not Lionbackers) I want three, sort of a set, quick, agile, and mean, and I mean mean.

     

    The displaced players will have to find room on STs or long-snapping, or in the secondary.

     

    Oh, and if possible, within the week, cause, they're out there, waiting…I've been told so.

    I want a new running back that can pass catch and averages 8.5 yards a carry.

    I want two new international receivers, one a clone of Jerry Rice and the other a clone of Randy Moss.

    I want a new national tackle that is a clone of Walby.

    I want a clone of Doug Brown for DT.

    I want TSN to pull Rod Black from CFL telecasts.

    This is a wish list I can get behind 100%.

  6. Ploen is the qb voted on by fans. As far as OL goes, I picked Frank Rigney over Chris Walby. I assume Walby will get a lot of votes just because younger fans will know him better than the others. Rigney was a great player. He & Cornell Piper on that line leading a sweep just like Jerry Kraemer & Fuzzy Thurston in Green Bay. Rigney was dominant & a big reason why Leo Lewis had such huge games for the Bombers running the ball & Ploen passing. He's my pick. Surprised Bill Frank wasn't on that list.

    I certainly don't remember Rigney but Walby was as big, nasty, and good as any I can remember.
  7. Our blocking at point of attack and edge is atrocious, though.......

     Agreed.  The inability to find better import talent for the OL is vexing to say the least.
    Willy holds onto the ball too long though, he's always looking for the home run, throws too many picks as he's still learn'in.

    Willy already has improved over his few starts with the Riders. The offence will gradually be geared even more to Drew's skill set then things will really start to click.

  8. Bowman has to be the most frustrating player in the entire league. I don't care how good he is, I couldn't handle having a player that inconsistent on my team.

    This is his curse. Tough to have a guy that could let you down at the most crucial part of the game. Super gifted player however.

    Tino is a future hall of famer

    The Hamilton Tiger Cats say NO

    If Riders continue to scheme to get receivers wide open, offer good protection and sloppy tackling from opposition Sunseri will be just fine.

    C'mon man! Give the kid some credit for getting it done.

    When he plays a real defense we will. But Ottawa??? They absolutely stink.
    Actually Ott has a good defence. They held Edm to 10pts & BC to 7 pts.

  11. It was one of those games that actually makes me embarrassed to be a CFL fan, because it looked SO amateurish. Terrible football game from two truly awful teams...

    Yes because 9-3 and defending Grey Cup Champs = "awful." How about 3-0 versus the Bombers with 2 wins at IGF? What does that make the Bombers?

    Why are you bringing up the Bombers?

    It was a poor football game on both sides, especially at QB. Accept it or go back to Riderfags in your Tito Sunshine jersey. .
