GDT - Banjo Bowl - Riders @ the Champs
SpeedFlex27 replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Desjardins will be fired this off season. I could see a new GM come in & fire LaPo bringing in his own HC. There are some QBs coming available as free agents this off season. Jake Maier, Jeremiah Massoli. Maybe even Vernon Adams. Would the Stamps sign Maier & trade Mitchell? Who & what are you referring to? -

Ottawa is just so bad. They'll be lucky to have 10,000 at their next home game. -
How do shitty qbs like Dom Davis keep playing in the CFL? He's like a 7 year veteran. If he doesn't get it by now, he never will. He should be cut. Well, he ain't wrong about injuries (touch wood) & Davis has been in the CFL since before Trump got elected. How could he not read coverages??? That's coaching. And perhaps a lack of work ethic on Davis.

Harris never threw a punch. -

It's not rare in the CFL. Before specialists, regular players did the punting & kicking. Don Jonas was our FG kicker. Gene Lakusiak kicked for us ||& was a defensive back. Ed Ulmer was a safety & our punter. Imagine the pressure playing a regular position & being winded, dinged up or out of breath & asked to kick or punt? Seems to me, they would be under even more pressure. Bernie Ruoff's very first kick in 1975 (he was a specialist) against the Stamps was a 58 yard FG. He never let pressure get to him. The league has had many kickers who as rookies stepped in & played like veteran kickers. Sean Whyte in Edmonton. Lewis Ward in Ottawa. Rene Paredes in Calgary. Lui Passaglia in BC. Mike Vanderjagt in Toronto. Damon Duvall in Montreal. Even as rookies, they were able to control their emotions & stay even keeled when they kicked. That's the key. To remain calm. Dont be nervous & stay focused. The mental part of the game is maybe more important than the physical part. Hopefully. Liegghio will get a handle on things... fast. -

So, how long do we go before we make a change at kicker? Eventually those misses will cost us. -
1. Lawler. Best receiver in the CFL. 2. Nic Demski. dangerous with the football whenever he touches it. 3. Zach Collaros. I haven't had this much fun watching a Bomber QB since Matt Dunigan & before that, Tom Clements. HH: Our two D Ends. Like Freddie Mercury & David Bowie used to sing, "Under Pressure", Fajardo will be dreaming about our Front Seven in his sleep. Our DL beat the snot out of Fajardo both games & finally took him out of the game. Even though, I don't like seeing Fajardo get hurt, our defense still imposed it's will on the Riders offense. It was great to see. Even bringing Powell into the game as a runner to slow down the rush didn't help.

If this keeps up we'll have given up something like 185 points in 14 games. -

Yeah, I think we all breathed a sigh of relief when the ruling on the field was upheld. Kinda like this... -

There was a little push & I thought the incomplete pass would be overturned. -

We kicked the **** out of Fajardo. That's the main storyline of this series. Besides the Bombers sweeping the series. That receiver for the Riders Kian Schaffer-Baker was outstanding & he's a rook. Forget Jorden, Evans, Daniels, Ellingson, Burnham, Rodgers, Walker.... Kenny Lawler is the best receiver in the CFL. -
Did you know that the Bombers wanted to sign Jim Van Pelt & bring him back for the 1962 season? He was a VIP guest of the Bombers for the 1961 Grey Cup & the team wined & dined him. He left the Bombers after the 1959 season as he was drafted & spent 2 years in the US Air Force. Van Pelt decided that he wanted to remain retired. He lived in Chicago & got involved in private business there.

Moon could run & he was deadly accurate. He played as well in the CFL as he did in the NFL. Immensely talented But in their primes, I'd still take Flutie.

So, I had picked William Stanbeck for this week but I didn't know the Als have the buy so I'd like to change my pick to Andrew Harris.
