wbbfan

I mean he's probably still injured or some thing. There is probably a good reason why his hands look like lucky whiteheads after he got hurt. Ok ok ill stop, dont need another self loathing bomber fan we have that quota covered. Id love nothing more than to see him return to his peak form, and have a giant wbbfan and the rest of the haters can shove it game / finish to the year. But if not I feel like this could be his last season. Hes our least reliable and valuable starting wr right now. 3 ok games, 3 invisible games, 2 horrible games. Bailey struggled early, but really turned it around. So I hope he manages the same. He used to be such a dangerous deep threat, when we could barely throw a deep ball. Otherwise, I think we are better off with mcknight in, and woli moved to slot.

I get what youre saying, but we've actually used the empty backfield a lot this year too. Far more than id like, especially with hardrick out. But yeah, its going to be a big adjustment once harris retires.

Some no1 wrs? Nah. Bailey is just coming into his own. Lawler and collaros struggled on a couple hook ups and he certainly needs to be out there post suspension. Demski should be used more and more consistently, even more so with woli. Darvin adams should sit, but wont be sat. But with agudosi suspended we are kind of limited in options and we dont really need more slow wrs like rosie. I wouldnt worry about it, he wont catch the shade either. 😉

He's been running up the middle since his first year here, I can count on 1 hand how many out side zone runs he's had in all his years here. You dont bet a DB to the edge from a run up the middle of the field even if you are tyreek hill. Ive seen him especially on screen passes beat Sams and safties and get tackles by out side HBs and corners. But he still out runs dbs. Harris would out run most of our WR core too.

Im of the school of thought that if you are going to roster some one for an entire season, you should make the most out of them. Especially if we may be headed towards the end of harris' career. 1 touch in 10 games isnt great. Especially if harris misses a game, we should make more use of augustine. If that happens id also love to see demski get more carries. His blocking this year has been very good. We are spoiled with just how amazing harris is at it, but brady is one of the better blockers among primary runners too. Im 1000x more worried about Neufeld and right tackle. If we start him again we will see the best pass rushers sliding over to his side and frequent extra rushers. Its way too easy for guys to run around him out side of his reach and get to the qb. Most rbs are not lock down blockers. Tackles are normally 300 ish lbs and specialize in picking up the edge. To expect a RB to pick up 100% of the pressures he sees is un realistic. Most tackles have 70-100 lbs on brady and a life time of blocking experience. Brady, and every rb that follows harris for us is going to surprise a lot of fans in what most good blocking RBs are capable of and how much less it is than what harris has been able to do. The only other RB ive ever seen thats comparable in blocking is mike sellers. And he was pretty much the size of the smaller tackles back then.

He was kind of stuck between going hard as soon as he got the ball and waiting. Now he is waiting and timing his burst to hit gaps and it looks beautiful. He is extremely talented. He's grown a lot as a blocker and pass catcher since he arrived here too. Gotta be great to learn under the great harris and demski too. Eli is masterful at opening holes even when he stays at the first level. The way he turns his man then pushes them out of the way is some fantastic. Not too surprising being as he is a natural center, but man the more he plays the better he looks. At this point if harris was healthy this week, we should probably rotate backs and take some load off harris shoulders. We dont need him carrying the ball 20 or 25 times in a regular season game this year.

I also enjoyed the game film break downs they did in the pre game show. Could it be tsn is actually moving towards what the younger demographic wants??? Id bet this is the case. No need to force a move now, wait till the bye week and make the best move possible. Why trade an asset if we can get one of the 3 former cflers looking for NFL contracts? Why over pay if we dont have to, and worst case if a trade is to be made itll still be available at the dead line. Slow playing the hand only gives us a bit more leverage.

Every time it looks like a team solidifies it self as the no2 team in the west, they collapse. Out side of the bombers finishing first, I wouldnt bet on any thing.

you think if shiltz plays really poorly they will stick with him over harris? I dont buy that at all. I think shiltz gets this week to really impress. If he doesnt, its harris time.

Neufeld isnt. Hes flat out too slow to defend the edge. There isnt a worse T in pass protection pro football. Gray 100% is better. Richmond on our PR was the top rated T prospect in all of college at one point. On track for a top 5 nfl draft choice and a massive deal. He had bad luck with playing on big teams that were bad. The vols, and USC. Every one thought USC would bounce back and they just didnt. That guys is as blue chip as an imp tackle prospect gets. Burks is the quintessential small school dominant T. Extremely mobile but was considered too small for the NFL. Keep in mind we got rid of rid of two guys when we got access to these guys. 1 was extremely well seasoned and sent to TO as an immediate starter, the other was an NFL starter. Both these guys had a lot of hype in the NFL and just missed out with the covid college year and influx of talent at the nfl level. Hope its just precautionary. Also hope brady can build on what he showed vs edm.

Youre mostly talking about elite tier players, vs players who could be just below them. Also, we know Mos will stick to his guys despite superior players. The difference between an elite player and replacement level is often razor thin. If you cant be elite, you arent in the pros. Fairly good guys, are walking the street with out an agent. Every time a pop up league happens (like the xfl) We get guys who wouldve been out of football (nichols) with a 2nd chance, who become great. We dont see a well spring of replacement level players. Football also has the deepest FA talent pool of any sport. Every single year you see former great who arent that old replaced with new young players. You would be stunned by how many former football players are walking around the southern states well out of football who could be cfl and nfl HOFers. Issues with the law, grades and addiction having ended their window early. (amongst many problems, starting a family really young does it a lot too.) You dont have that really at all in baseball or hockey.

yep. it was atleast 85 or 90% the awkward landing.

He 100% has the wheels still, its just not as clear when 99% of his running plays are inside tight zone vs 8 man boxes. You can see it when he cuts back and accelerates, when he out runs the edge after bouncing out, and how he's able to get to the secondary before contact with line backers. He out runs a lot of tackling angles and forces trail defenders to take longer routes to prevent him from scoring.

Management won't do any thing once you start the play offs. Coaching yeah they have good coaching. Qbing? Nah. Dominated the regular season through his career. But was on the wrong side of the biggest play off upsets. And now he's heavily diminished. He's a fraction of his former self. Carey is a good back. The wr core sucks. The ol is middle of the pack. The defense is good but not great. Montreal and Toronto are far more dangerous. No other west team is a big threat.

No such thing as relatively good in pro sports. Either you're a strength of the team and an asset or you're awaiting replacement.

His pro day was 4.45. And has comparable speed to lots of backs like Curtis Martin. The NFL also doesn't look for tall rbs. Tall rbs get hit low and tear up knees and hips. The average nfl rb is 5 10.5 and under 215. Harris is 5 10 and 216. This year 20 rbs were drafted in the nfl. Only 4 ran faster than 4.52 at the combine. The 5 year average 40 time for rbs is 4.49. If you remove the outliers you're looking at starting nfl rbs running the exact same type of numbers as Harris on high and low 40 times. people seem to think nfl rbs are all 4.3 machines but really Andrew harris is almost exactly the nfl prototype for rb in every way.

Yes he is. He ran a 4.45 and used to return kicks. He still has break away speed. His testing numbers were great. Tremendous upper body strength too.

Only good ones. It's the Jonathon Jennings exception to the rule. Yep. Since then though he looked great in the pre season. I don't think he's less stabile on their roster then any point prior.

I sure hope we do not see Neufeld at tackle again. That's flirting with disaster.

One play like twice. It's not at all the streveler package and he isn't that type of athlete.

Pretty much. Didn't give up much but taking on a big contract. Any one know how many years he has left on his deal. Honestly I don't see how he fits well with what khari does. Maybe khari will tailor the offense to Harris. He has lots of weapons at his disposal. If they miss the play offs or Harris gets pulled again could be the end of his time in the CFL. Harris would've been a perfect fit for plops offense too.

He may not have a year next year after the hits he's taken in bc. It might be a choice of football some place with a line and weapons or retirement. Not me. The 19 team was much better.

Bill belichick says luck is the residue of hard work.

Or Considering a trade request to Toronto lol.

This is how you ruin talented young qbs. They should be rostering 3 and throwing a guy like Jennings to the wolves as needed go protect the potential starters. No one else will admit it in the cfl but the Bombers break teams. Bc with out lucky is not much of a threat. It's easy to vice cover one wr. You don't have to worry about a run game Reilly is a sitting duck.
