Rod Black reacted to Goalie in 3 random questions
I'd take dru and strev over just Zach cuz no way we can afford Zach plus brown or strev but we probably could make brown and strev work cap wise but I'm a cold hearted prick who only cares about winning and the future and not the past especially In sports.
Eventually u gonna have to transition to a younger core group... as a cold hearted prick, I think this off season might be time. We hosting 2025. Some of our guys don't got 2 seasons in them still.

I have nightmares that he tries to make a "play" this post season.... I really hope he doesn't. Please stick with the sneaks and nothing else.

Wonder what would happen to the Brown market if in January Streveler says he will sign with a CFL team.

Certainly hope your right. That would leave him in the same position as if he remained a bomber behind an uninjured Collaros.
I’m not sure Wally could resolve the Collaros/Brown dilema with 100% confidence.

The Bombers have put up 81 points in back to back meaningless games with a bunch of backups and only allowed 38pts.
Future looks bright for many years.

yeah, it's like leading the league in kickoff return yardage.
It was ridiculous last night showing Awe passing Singleton for the stamps tackle record -- The Stamps had the best D in the league during Singleton's record-setting years, they were Grey Cup finalists both years, Singleton was the team MOP in one of them, and he's now making megabucks in the NFL. Any list that puts Awe above Singleton is dumb...unless it's a fine money list.

Yep. More so in the past some teams would funnel run plays to their mac and let them read the play and get after it. Ray Lewis era stuff biggie and soli. And it worked then especially with guys like that.
In this day and age you very seldom see great ds have one guy with a massive amount of tackles.
When it does happen you see guys with high total defensive plays. The nfl breaking them down into ast solo and tfl with pressures and hits really let’s you see this stuff.
I broke it down in a previous game against the stumps. Awe’s average depth of tackle is well past his positional depth. He isn’t running up and making stops, he’s coming on the back end of long gains and getting in on tackles. I bet his solo tackle numbers and tfl would be really really low. When awe makes a tackle on us it’s almost always after we’ve gained more than our average yards. He’s the prototypical example of bad tackles.

After Buck Pierce left the bombers in 2013 the qb position had been a helluva problem for the team. Things started to turn with Nichols arriving and playoffs became a reality again. Streveler was found and fans got excited. Nichols got hurt and the Collaros comeback story lifted the team to the Cup. Seemed #8 wasn’t as fragile as many believed as the franchise produced on the field and financially. Streveler decided what was best for him was to try the nfl. He gets replaced by Brown that grew into a pretty darn good second stringer, dynamically throwing 9 tds this year and zero interceptions, some kind of record. Highlights include an incredibly poised come from behind victory against the antlers, after Zach was sidelined.
Is Brown a product of a unique system with a remarkable edge in recruiting and development?
Can it be replicated if Brown leaves?
Or have the Bombers been lucky as hell which means we’ll be screwed with having to start over at qb if Collaros can’t continue but Brown has left?

It happens - but it tends to get blown out of proportion
First place teams win the most Grey Cups.

Meanwhile a certain Blake Wheeler is still pointless and -3....good to see 55 actually trying again and being the leader he was born to be.

As far as QB Brown goes, sure he plays with an excellent line up. He performs which does show his potential. He’s not a dolt on a very good squad that would still be a dolt on a shitty team. His performance proves he could be an important piece for some other squad.

those 11 thousand fans that attend Jets games are likely not avid Bomber ones anyway....May be one their smallest crowds of the yr on WF day....casual fan of both...hmmm....Jets game...lousy game day experience...pay thru nose for everything for a lacklustre team......go to Bomber game...crazy event and time pre-game...best professional sports atmosphere in stadium in Canada....and place to be on game day...Let alone a WF....don't really get gouged that bad.....Pretty much a no-brainer where the casual fans of both will choose

Jefferson led the league with 13 knockdowns. Deatrick Nichols was second with 12. Holm was 3rd with 11. Betts not on the leaders list.

Not repeating. Just adding. Jets change star time before West Final.
