Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
wbbfan replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It is and as long as a rook imp qb is making way way more it’s not a big factor. The skill positions in general. -
Bye Week Thread: Complacency, Budget & Leadership,
wbbfan replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I really want Demski to hit 1k at home so the crowd can go crazy for him. Brady for 1500 rushing/bomber ni record/ 2k yards from the line, woli could also break his career best mark of 650 this year. -
CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread
wbbfan replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Canadas team… to hate. I also hate that 3rd/alternate unis are worn as often as the regular ones. Once on the road once at home max. Why can’t we just have simple nice unis with a league theme, team colours and some team flavour. -
Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news
wbbfan replied to WinnipegGordo's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I wonder what they would do with Houston, where both leagues have a team. Hub cities crippled attendance and engagement for a bunch of usfl teams. While the xfl was carried by St. Louis. I wonder how they would do rosters too iirc the usfl teams sign their own players where as the xfl signs then disperses them in a draft I feel like they’d have a chance with a few off the market. Too many in Texas for the xfl. If they fielded two Texas teams (Houston and San Antonio) with st louis, Washington, Birmingham, Memphis, Michigan, nj, no, and 1 of Philly, Pitt, vegas, and Seattle they’d have a good spread of 10 teams. Until they fix their pay scale especially for QBs I don’t see them having any larger of an impact on the cfl. -
Plus, 2 Imp lbers 1 global 2 ni, backing up 2 starters. We refuse to use those guys more creatively, and our kick cover is the worst it’s been under mos tenure. Our Roster management is crap.

Imagine the interior ol if they had to deal with Dobson and Lawson both inside? Put one on a centre and one on a guard have em both bull rush then just try and block one of the Jeff’s 1 on 1 on the edge lol. Or twist Dobson over Lawson. That guy with a head full of steam on the centre with a full head of steam would be hilarious. Could double twist and have Jefferson come between the two dts. That would even allow another imp on for walker.

Idk why we have fox and garbutt on the pr especially for this long. If you are gonna dress Schmekel when you do finally roster an extra dt it’s just a waste of space and time. I mean how much thinner at dl do we have to get? Idk how discussion can be more annoying than watching our front 6 get owned and watching our defence crumble in the 4th. 2021 wasn’t long ago. When we didn’t have stove for the first part we struggled with getting gashed by big runs early. It was the main weak link. Stove came in vs bc and manhandled their interior single handedly. in the cfl especially, you need high level dl depth. And you need a nose. Other wise you rely too much on dbs in the run fits, and get guys gassed out. The drives can be crazy long up here. The field is huge and every qb can move around. A cfl dl has to run waaay more than down south. Carrying 2 back up ol has been a big deal this year. Especially the beef that is Dobson and Eli. We go heavy set and other teams just can’t cope. I’d seriously put a 2 way number on one and have them rotate at dt if we can’t manage to fill all the roster needs. We have the ability to manage the roster better and fix most of the problems but we do need more guys at db as well. If we kept 3 imo des on, and then put one of those two in for 1/3 reps or even less and just had them maul ol it’d go a long long way. If I was trying to turn around or build a cfl team I’d look at cast off ol who are explosive and nasty to fill out at dt in general. A lot of guys come through who don’t have the foot work / fluidity/ mobility and the polish to be ol. But are big mean athletes who can push a guy. This is a great great point. how can we be soo far off with Hansen and when he will be healthy all the time. 100%

Also I’d add the tiger cats got away with straight mugging when it comes to holding. I don’t think a single call was made either way all game. When you’re getting mugged as a de, don’t have a rotation to stay fresh and have a rook on the other end going ham for pressure he might just think it’s better if he doesn’t get a good pressure angle on the first move to play the pass lane more and try to remain in a good contain position on his edge. A lot of what makes he and jj soo deadly as a combo is they take Layered rush lanes so who ever gets first pressure likely pushes the qb into another tackler. When things are working well any way. When they aren’t and we have an end out, guys worn out, and or lack pressure up the middle we see mobile qbs walking through those gaps for easy first downs. 19/21 those guys ran into stove, kongbo Nevis etc. the Jeff’s create a ton of pressure and lots of sacks but not always for them self self or each other.

Bailey was amazing on that jet sweep off tackle. I love when he runs that instead of wide out. Wj really suffers when we don’t have a nose or jj. Or a rotation. I don’t blame him as much. We need to atleast have a rotation to enable him to do his best.
-
No not yet. If they don’t deal with what they need to, internally, then it will require some thing big. If mos etc use this to wake tf up then it’ll be a good thing. But as of yet I have little hope that this will shake them out of their complacency. Personally, I’d fire hall promote jy and bring in either a qb coach to have a guy on the side line and in the booth, or some one to be a qc coach to ensure the game plan prep and execution on offence is on par. Agree. I saw too much of biggie not reading the play at all and just running into the plugged a gap/ol and getting washed out on out runs. Just taking him self right out of the play on runs other than up the gut. agree. And, a freakin nose tackle. We brought in soo many in camp and then just don’t use one.
-
It is lol it was added this year as an extra imp. And we’ve neglected to use it at all in many games using an ni instead.
-
Honestly we had soo many drives that did nothing and in the end we needed one more td. We had the ball with a minute in decent starting position and went two and out. Kicking and the decisions or kick or not didnt cost us our offence cost us.
-
Yes and their total snaps have a % limit. I didn’t say it’s an extra guy I said it’s an extra imp.
-
Nope. But we aren’t that team any more. Our culture no longer over comes all. It doesn’t even over come our coaches softness any more. I would revoke all the players time off this week and have them practice and in pads as much as the cba allows. And then running doing SC and film on this game and our other loses this year plus the gc as much as allowed.
-
I agree that he should be rotating. All our des should be.
-
You dress a vet like jj or wj say as it and have them on the bench. They can play half the reps. You start an extra imp in their place. The na can come on for an ni. Bailey biggie bunch of guys eligible. Basically let’s you get an extra imp on the game day roster.
-
1 Zach and buck. Piss poor game plan and play call. Too many face palm throws and calls only 9 runs for Brady. 2 mos and roster management. No real back up dbs or dl leaves guys on the field too long when you also lose the top battle it gets much worse. But atleast we had the marine! 3 the secondary aside from holm/hall Soo many massive Oline gets a dishonourable nod for giving up pressure consistently to 4 man rushes goat horns to tsn for hyping up white none stop while he gets handily out played by Demski lawler and schoen, and none stop interviews plus the terrible high angle low res shot. Also to the ref crew and cc. Another pathetic game by the jobbers hh lawler getting jobbed on a catch call then coming right back with the td catch awe that’s dirty Powell throwing hands at a guy keeping him from falling down block of the game Bailey on George early hit of the game ba on white honourable mention to Augustine on kick cover
