Bombers vs Als - Canada day weekend edition

I stand corrected. Thanks man. Really appreciate your takes on here. -

There’s something weird about Agudosi. I’d say lackadaisical, but that’s not really it. Just doesn’t strike me as a very aggressive player. The body catching kind of goes with that too. -

As long as they don’t have him throw a deep pass in the Grey Cup, I’m fine with it. Too bad about Piggy, hope he signs somewhere else (or PR here ideally) -

Agreed, with DT also being a weak spot. I’m sure we’ll be fine on the edge when Hansen comes back. Really just need one more rotational guy there. -

Both these teams look average at best. Calgary has some fat QB’s. -

Only saw it the once but thought he may have hesitated as to not draw OPI, it looked like he may have been trying not to run back through the DB. -
Game Day Thread - Lions @ Bombers. Week 3
JohnnyAbonny replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
For sure, just a matter of preference. My all time favourite for TV was Don Wittman and Lancaster, with Cuthbert or Mark Lee with Walby as a close second. Really, I much preferred the presentation when it was on CBC. It just felt more important. TSN was always more gimmicky, it’s become worse over the last decade. Leave the party to the stadium, the football broadcast should be a football broadcast. Nothing more. -

I love Dunnigan too. It’s really just Smith and to a lesser extent Neilson that I can’t stand. Too folksy, both of them. The PBP guy should give a dignified, somewhat serious air. Like Don Wittman, Cuthbert, Mark Lee. I was never a fan of the goofier PBP guys like Neilson and John Wells. Gotta have that contrast with the personality of the colour guy. -

I’m realizing now that since Cuthbert left, the TSN commentary is actively ruining my enjoyment of the games. We’ve heard a lot of awful PBP guys over the years but I can’t name one worse than Rod Smith. Even the 21 GC is hard to re-watch because of the terrible commentary. -

Is it possible Coture knows all the OL and D calls? Could have shared a lot in the film room? -
We’re so screwed without Burtenshaw

Another HH. At least we beat the Riders.

It wouldn’t even be so bad if any of those guys made ST plays for that matter. When was the last time anyone forced a fumble on a return, or anyone not named Mike Miller made a big hit on ST? Grant scores in spite of little to no blocking most of the time so it’s not like they’re doing much on that side either. It just kills me how much they leave on the table with their roster choices. -
1. Any of us who sat through that. 2. The Punter 3. Jake Kelly was the least garbage of all the secondary tonight. HH Ricky Walker for the greatest sack of all time in a super key moment and a cool celebration.

Not if they don’t get a few guys back from injury. Hansen for one would be huge. I know Wilson and Jeffcoat will only play 3 games each but they’ll be the best in the league for them. Rose, Houston will help. Not dressing 17 jobber linebackers and an American fullback would be cool in the meantime but I doubt that changes. -

You may be right, it’s specifically the grab on the outside of the shoulder when he tries the swim. Hand always right around the back of the shoulder, handful of W logo. They played like trash. It happens. Both lines were awful. Couple bad, and a couple legit calls went against the Bombers early. They were done by halftime. Too many starters out. Too many old guys. No defensive tackles. BC DL really good. -

It’s l not as bad as some (me) make it out to be while watching the games. With that, Jefferson is mugged constantly, and I haven’t seen it called in forever. 2014 when they had that hot start, then lost like 30-3 to Edmonton here. -

Full credit to BC. That DL is very good. They’ll be a tough out now, I’m sure this game will give them all the confidence in the world. -

Not saying permanently. It wouldn’t hurt a guy in their mid-late 30’s to sit for a week in July. -

Is it maybe time to try Drew Richmond for a game? He’s been on the practice roster longer than Foketi was.
