Nice to see those "full" stadiums ...
JuranBoldenRules replied to IC Khari's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
McMaster is in Hamilton. Like 10 minutes away from Tim Hortons Field. -
Hefney didn't have an attitude problem as much as an opinion which became a media talking point. He felt that he was more valuable to the team as the weak-side HB than SAM, but he played SAM and played it well when he was put there. That was when Burke was scrambling and moving everyone all over the secondary because the career years everyone had in 2011 didn't happen again in 2012, imagine that. Maybe should have adjusted the scheme.

They also built a ridiculous number of golf courses everytime it was somewhat popular. And really, golf will always be a niche sport. It takes a long time and a lot of practice to even be moderately good at it, and you have to spend 3-4-5 hours at a time to play a round. I kind of fear that indoor soccer will be the golf of this generation, build a bunch of facilities and have no demand for them in 20-30 years. At least those indoor soccer facilities can be repurposed. -
And no pocket presence, combined with the deliberate release. Even with all the terrible QB's we've had over the years, I can't recall anyone getting hit nearly as many times in mid-delivery as Brink. He'd be a very good CFL QB if that improved.

We've only brought in...what...10 RB's since he said he signed here?

Yes. The industry of sports figured out how to monetize television broadcasts, led by the NFL. It's worth more to have the skyrocketing rights fees and eyeballs for advertising than the couple thousand people (which could be less or more depending on the city) who might choose to go to a game if they can't watch it on TV. IMO, several teams are missing an opportunity to get more butts in seats. Bombers are a prime example. Those corner endzone seats that never sell should go for $10-$15. Get people in the building, get them buying concessions and merchandise, maybe even provide a good enough experience that someone comes back in a more expensive seat. Better to sell that seat for $10 than have it sit empty for 9 games. -
It would be a much better program with a lot more ground covered if they took questions via Twitter and e-mail. Just taking the preamble from the questions would probably add several minutes of actual show time.

Love the guy who always asks about forcing OL to wear leg braces in practice. Force has to go somewhere. When you wear a restrictive brace on your knee, you are putting more strain on your hip and ankle, and vice-versa for any joint.

Winnipeg vs. Hamilton discussion thread
JuranBoldenRules replied to kelownabomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'd like to see (assuming these guys are healthy) these changes to our 42: IN Kelly Cotton Greaves Markett Suber OUT Bryant Grigsby Knapp/Howard Unamba Norris/Cornell I'm assuming Greaves might take Alexander's spot on the 44. Bucknor and Sherman would be able to rotate in one NI spot on D, and if they are on the field at the same time we could go all import on the DL. Kelly will definitely be back on his spot if he's healthy and Bryant will be either on the 46 or 1-game IR. Greaves will come in this week barring any setback. Knapp will go to 1-game IR. so -1 Intl. I agree with Cotton for Grigsby. Unamba played well last game so I dont he's coming off. But we can definitely roster one of Suber/Markett to complete the 20 Int'l. No need to take off 1 of Norris/Cornell, Swiston (who took Alexander's spot) can move from 44 to 46. Good point. Unamba isn't as good as Markett or Suber on D. They can all play that gunner spot on cover teams, all have at various stages of their career. I'd much rather have Markett and Suber available for D. who plays WIL/Dollar if Dunn goes down? Probably end up with Kuale and Wild on the field at all times, maybe an extra DB on passing downs. I'm not sure that Unamba would get a lot of reps over Wild and Kuale if Dunn went down in any game to this point. -

Replaced by who? Tanner Marsh? The only difference between Smith and Marsh is the color of their skin. Both of them can't do much but erratically throw the ball deep. I'm a little surprised Neiswander was never picked up actually. lol Not saying that he's great, but better than Alex Brink at least. Brink has a wind-up, but Neiswander has no arm whatsoever.

Did you watch the pre-season or pay attention to the first week of the season? Grigsby made the team because Cotton and Ford were injured. Cotton won the job and got hurt in the 4th quarter of the 2nd pre-season game. The hype isn't coming from nowhere. Grigsby has been awful. You can't block for a guy who runs 10 yards east-west before he makes a cut upfield. -

I'm sure Troy Smith will play better now that he knows that throwing for 45 yards and a 13 QB rating is unacceptable.

Which Coach gets an early paid Vacation?
JuranBoldenRules replied to Bomber_fanaddict's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Edmonton has had over 30,000 for every home game, which is pretty good considering their fanbase has been just as alienated as ours in recent years. At McMaster you aren't allowed to have liquor in the seating area, thus the crush in the endzones and people not in their seats. Calgary is about 2000 below where they are in a good year for attendance, but still well clear of any significant issue. BC's attendance is always all over the map, even within the same season, good luck finding a trend there. Toronto and Montreal are going to be huge problems, Montreal especially IMO. When it comes down to it, a solution will be found for the Argos. I don't think it will be nearly as easy for Montreal if Wetenhall or his family decide to bail. -
CFL Power Rankings after week 4

Grigsby doesn't need another week. He's had 5. Not seeing any improvement. He's great in space, but that space won't be there when everybody knows he can't grind out yards or break a tackle, they'll mind contain and let him run east-west all day.
-
By the end of week 11, the entire East division and Saskatchewan, maybe BC too, will have more PA than the Bombers.

Bombers vs Lions: GDT (For Adults)

Khreem Smith is extremely underrated. -
Blacks vs Cats and Rumpriders vs Boatmen
JuranBoldenRules replied to Bomber_fanaddict's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Grigsby dances way too much to even judge the offensive line in run blocking. Pick a gap, hit a gap, gain positive yards. All he has is that east-west test the contain type of run, so for every 15 yard run he busts he gets stopped for nothing or a loss several times, more now that the entire league has clued in. Always goes down with first contact, probably one of the most frustrating RB's the Bombers have employed in my lifetime. -
Lawless: Trade Glenn January for Canadians
JuranBoldenRules replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Based on his Jets columns, we should expect a "Sign January to an Extension" column from Lawless around Labour Day. -
If Grigsby were a President's Choice product he would be known as "Shades of Dorzon"
-
First contact always brings him down. Only strength of his game is testing the D's contain, but now that everyone knows that he's going to have a hell of a time turning the corner. Not good in the pass game as a receiver or blocker. Next guy up.

Grigsby brings nothing to this team.

Lawless: Trade Glenn January for Canadians
JuranBoldenRules replied to gbill2004's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
What message is he conveying and for whom? A red herring that popped into his head on the john yesterday? If you shoot any moron with a column who has a bad idea, is it "shooting the messenger?" You just deconstructed the entire premise of the column while praising him. January has little trade value. That's why rambling for 900 words on this premise is pretty stupid.
