Yeah regardless of the QBs not playing well and the interior OL sucking, Ibtjink we can all agree our scheme on O varies between being basic and absolute piss

Uh, did we not all see him get smoked in the head?

Who made that diagnosis? The Easter Bunny? No f’n way it’s anything but a concussion, we all saw that play.

I hope it’s this, I’d hate to think his pass rushing skill and/or effort fell off that fast. Like look how he played in the 19 and 24 GC’s. Either he doesn’t want to do that all the time or it’s what you said and it’s schemed that way. The 19 GC is one of my all time favourite sequences in a Bomber game. Where for some reason Ticats have Brandon Banks of all people try to chip him. WJ knocks Banks spinning into next week, kills Evans, takes a RTP, then next play kills Evans again for a strip sack. The game was ours from then on Also yes RIP Craig Roh. From what I heard just an all around great person. Tragic.

I’m not sure we can win any more games this year the way it’s looked lately. Maybe Ottawa, maybe Montreal here. I don’t see them beating Saskatchewan, Edmonton or Hamilton regardless of where the game is.

Do any of our DL have the ability to bend and get under a tackle besides Person? Willie just backpedals or shifts over and goes for the knockdown most of the time, Vaughters doesn’t get much pressure at all and everyone else pretty much bull rushes with not much success.

Ugh, we’re gonna get bumped out of 3rd and the crossover eventually aren’t we?

This is key. Agree he could play that role if he’s fully healthy. All year he still clearly hasn’t been. Wilson has looked way more capable in the short set this season

Wild to think that this will most likely be the first west final since 2017 without the Bombers in it

I remember Darby falling off the cliff that year and everyone wanted him off the roster. I think Rutledge hit a wall or something and he was a surprise mid-season cut as well. I can’t remember which one Kramdi replaced either. I don’t mind Kramdi at all honestly, he’s serviceable, but to me more of a complimentary piece. I think the biggest problem on D is lacking any major impact player. It’s a bunch of lunchpail guys and 2-3 liabilities. That’s where I think we need to test out Connor Shay for one, he should at least be able to show flashes at this point. Jonathan Jones also isn’t an unknown, we know the guy can play MLB as well or better than what we have, we saw it when he was an Argo.

Kramdi, right. He came in for Alden Darby or maybe Rutledge Jr? I wish historical depth charts were easier to find.

Of course out of camp. We were specifically talking about replacing established vets in season

Closest thing to that happening was Jeff Hecht getting replaced by BA, but even then BA was in his 3rd year and had been playing a different position and Hecht wasn’t cut, just benched. I can’t think of another time in season.

From his spot on the ground, rolls all the way to the end zone

For real though, we’re going to get **** pumped

Strev 26/33 408 yards 5 TD Thomas 4 sacks Lawson Jr 2 pick 6’s

Don’t forget fat Dillon Mitchell

It’s a pretty long article but it basically says he felt disrespected by Bomber management. “For the star receiver, it boiled down to one main thing: disrespect. “Y’all signed Dillon Mitchell before me. Who wouldn’t (feel disrespected)?” Lawler shared with the Free Press on Thursday in a one-on-one chat inside Hamilton Stadium.” … Now a member of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Lawler said he didn’t receive a contract offer from the Bombers until a day before free agency opened at the start of February. His agent only had two brief conversations with Winnipeg, where the club was more focused on gauging the market value for a receiver of his calibre. For Lawler, there was a more personal issue that needed to be addressed. The two-time division all-star from Pomona, Calif. — who moved his family up to Winnipeg — had been doing some work on the side helping the city’s grassroots football scene before running into a roadblock. “It’s not that (the Bombers) didn’t want me to do it — they wanted me to do it under them. They closed my work permit,” Lawler explained. “I have my own business where I go and run camps and I was starting to do that and was getting momentum and when I had to get my work permit closed it was like, ‘hmm, why is this happening?’ You know what I want to do, I live here in Winnipeg, the full year, and if I am going to be taking a pay cut, which I was doing when I was in Winnipeg the whole time, I’m going to need something else to be able to supplement that. It’s not that I need it, it’s that I want to be able to start it so when I’m done with football I can still live where I’m at and transition right into something else and someone wasn’t seeing that.” When asked who, specifically, wasn’t on board, Lawler responded with: “I think that’s a question you might have to ask them. And it probably wouldn’t be to anyone that you could probably get an (interview from).”

What a crappy offseason we had. Just think about all the WRs on the market and we ended up with a damaged Schoen, Mitchell, Sterns and Reggie White Jr who didn’t even make it out of camp.

He was as very good as you can get without being great. 07 was by far his best year, it’s a such a shame how it turned out. The knee injury he had in 2006 gets forgotten too, he was a pretty good threat with his legs before that.

Echols for Mitchell would have been good. I’d have left Woodby, taken Ayers off for Woods and Ball or Hallett off for Bailey

Davin Bush lol. I’d almost forgotten about his stint here as the practice monster

Sure, of course. A kick in the ass is better than a kick in the junk undoubtedly. Thing to me is that we likely would have won 5 cups in a row instead of just getting to them if some of these red flag issues had been dealt with over the last 2-3 years.

2000 as well the offence was coming into form with Khari, Milt, Simon, Gordon. IIRC there was 2 co-co-ordinators that year
