Hand injuries are fairly common among strong arm qb's, especially ones that aren't great and don't know how to use touch and take some thing off the ball. Jamarcus russell broke more fingers with passes then picks and tds combined. (maybe the hardest tosser in history) Agree, and that explosive leg drive, hip torque is the difference imo. Same as looking at the hardest pitchers in baseball from the 70s-80s vs now.

This rider slurping over soo little is making me sick

I don't see them keeping this up

Look at our qb roster then Davis and mbt in Toronto and ssk with benette. And I wouldn't take any of them over our 3. Actually isn't Austin Apodaca still in BC too?

If you go back and watch any highlights of brocks you like, and compare with any random highlights of bishop you can handily see brock has less velocity. Brock was infinitely a better qb, but no doubt bishop had a better arm.

The strongest arm in bomber history imo. Insane. The 10 yard ish pass early one he was virtually on his knees. The real amazing thing in that highlight is the als being first in the league.

the league has put on a tactical master class in how to deal with a situation like this. I wish the PA had gone about this differently, but I get it from their perspective. Money, always taking the side of the suspended party, they are consistent at least. This puts the onus on the players and PA reps on each team to go back to the PA and push for change. Especially all those players tweeting about how cheap/dirty the shot was and how punishment / better in game over sight was needed.

🤣 Maybe... I mean the life style he lived to perform at such a high athletic level is astounding. If he would have taken his strength and conditioning as serious as Pro milt from a young age I cant even imagine the heights he would have reached.

Good thing Milt has the great TSN gig. Itd gut me to see him coaching another team. If he goes after doug brown then im a be mad too. (dont think doug gives up his current gigs though) Ok ok ok, first guy in the hole you juke then cut it up the gut. Then you explode through the second wave and stiff arm the Lber. He grabs your jersey from behind and drags you down after you gain 20 yards. As a football guy, I think blink would make a tremendous coach. Considering we had soo few position coaches back then (how many years did we go with out a qb coach?) if you watched them in camp and practice they did some pretty smart drill work that translated well to the game. As a person, yeah him in montreal would be a laugh riot. A deep sleeper pick if khari sticks to HCing is Brad Yamaoka. He coached the Kamloops broncos for a considerable while. I can personally say he was an excellent coach of players, and had to manage some awfully low talent teams. He left last year and his kids are close to done HS. Perhaps lamar mcgriggs who still has his toes in strength and condition and coaching. Marvin coleman has been coaching kids in the states, Doug hocking has done well in the BC JC coaching ranks. Matt sheridan could be the teams dietitian too!

Id say its grown. Seen a lot of development and improvement. But the core of winnipeg is still the same. It hasnt lost any thing in the past decade, only gotten better.

100%, Plus osborne village, I love the parks especially assiniboine and kildonan park, the zoo also makes the grade, I love the architecture of the exchange district, etc. Rae n jerrys is great. Im crazy about simons steaks at the forks too though. The city and province has soo many hidden gems and under appreciated areas.

This is what happens when we have a buy early in the season.

We always keep a spot on the PR open, But if Mathews is healthy for our next game and comes off the IR, some one already has to go from the IR to the pr/in active. And then some one has to go from the PR. And with Nuefeld probably(?) close to coming back we will already have to hide an OL. As it is we have 9 rostered WRs. (between active in active and injured) and 3 Canadian tail backs (1 pr). Our roster is going to get tighter, with guys getting healthy and the possibility of NFL cuts. The skill position canadians are deep and entrenched on this team. And they dont have injury concerns. As much as Id like to have him as well, I just dont see the fit. And right now in his career he needs to go some place where he will see an active roster, stay healthy and produce. Not sit on the bench or PR or IR.

Got em. 😆 I think the one thing we can all agree on is we are all glad we are not the dumpster fire that is the reed run als.

How many legitimate cfl starting quality QBs do we have right now? 5? Id say 2 are elite, one of which didnt look it in week 1. The league really needs some one (or more) to step up from that Project starter tier.

If im the riders (gross) after watching how the D played last year, and knowing collaros history I would spend elite money on harris if thats what it takes. Failing that, id bring back collaros, look to bring in some one like jennings and trade for some one like MBT or better. 21 games from week 1 to the grey cup. If you cant expect your qb to play atleast 16 to 17 you need a new qb. You just cant spot 4-5 games to another team at minimum and expect to contend. The most collaros has played is 14. Over the past 6 seasons, hes averaged 12 games a year. 12/21 even 12/18 is tough to make the play offs with in the west. Little on contend.

No doubt. A lot of guys are like that, and its odd for QBs. Some need to get hit before they get their head into it 100% (damon allen), all kinds of issues and ways to flip that switch.

Yup. Reasonable to assume/hope that the early misses where from rust. Probably should have gotten more reps in pre season.

🤣 Nailed it soo hard.

Was it 2 or 3? I want to say he blew out one knee twice and the other knee once. Either way, forget armchair qb that guy was a wheel chair qb when he arrived. The rider fans have been seething and calling for blood and it has gotten to the point that its kind of softening the blow of how dirty he is as a player. Hes been cruising for a bruising for a long time. If this ended up being his last season in the cfl, i wouldnt be disappointing or surprised. The refs are going to be watching him close and calling things a lot tighter with him now. When you operate on the edge, you can go belly up in a hurry.

A new year means a new crop of talent as well. Some thing will certainly give with the OL in the next year. While im sure we will end up cutting some one who has a solid career else where, having that pressure cooker solidify our OL is a good thing.

I think week 3 will be a good guide for that. The moes offense has weapons a plenty. But I dont think that D can contain our O. Especially with Mathews likely back. The week following the bye has been pretty rough on us. If we can limit the damage of the moes offense and come out of a bye week well its a great sign.

Only time will tell. On one hand the interior is young, athletic and has great up side. On the other, they played a bad dl. But it does give you hope.

and bond for starters. I only wish we ran it more. Harris and the OL dominated.

😆 You can argue underrated, and that he contributes to a unit that is more then the sum of its parts etc etc but one of the best guards? Like what top 20? Its more likely hes never been the best guard on the team then one of the better guards in the league....
