2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
The creditors I would assume. Only reason I can see is that they are in such dire circumstances financially they need someone to bail them out.

2023/2024 Blue Bombers Off-Season Thread (BRADY’S BACK! DALTON’S BACK!)
Yeah and his 2 receiving touch downs were at a time when a DL came in as TE type situation in goal line packages. Plenty of DEs catching endzone passes. More recently they've just used a fullback for those types of situations. The cool thing about oosterhuis was that he was the pick we gave up for Doug Brown and wound up with him anyway.

Oosterhuis was a defensive lineman though?

I'm thinking more.along the lines of both guys getting reps. I mean we did see as mentioned above the sweet td bomb to Harris in 2019 grey cup. Prukop ****** up his chances to throw, they won't have that issue with streveler.

Worked like a charm I'm the 2019 playoffs so I expect that to continue

The best thing for collaros this year will be having streveler taking snaps and the coaches not being afraid to throw him in as a change up.

Former Coach Dave Ritchie Passes away
Ritchie was just such a breath of fresh air after the reinbold years. That group definitely should have won a cup.

This is certainly wrong... Brown wanted an opportunity to start, he was leaving. You don't think if he was willing to stay behind collaros the Bombers would have said "nah"? Careers are short, brown wanted to be the man he left for that chance and the Bombers had a backup plan.

Tackles and +/-... worst in all sports because they need a hell of a lot of context to tell you anything.

Dru Brown
To my eye some of the hits he took were his own doing hesitating.

Dru Brown
Is that realistic? Every qb gets hit.

This is the correct statement. I know kids, I'm scared too. Noeller hit the nail on the head...

Dru Brown
Which is true, but says far more about the quality of qbs currently in the cfl than anything else. Honestly Brady Oliveira saved collaros' ass last season. If Brady didn't get rolling collaros didn't have the same ability to carry the offense he did a few years ago.

Dru Brown
Zachs processing may or may notnbe slower but he was slower getting the ball away and took some hits he didn't have to. Guy was looking a bit gun shy with the OL taking step back last season.

I'd have rolled the dice with streveler and brown personally but might not have been an option. Feel better letting brown go assuming we keep streveler anyway. Collaros has a year or two left IMO before he needs to be replaced.

Not seeing a person play has never stopped anyone from judging them before.

That's not entirely true, he went from being totally invisible to once in a while being seen

Yeah that comment reaks of living in the past, like say 5 years ago. And even then it was more the depth than pure top end talent.

2019 and 2021 that just won the trenches so hard teams couldn't compete. 8 guys rotating along the defensive line who could contribute. We lost that the past couple years and you see the difference. No grey cups.

They picked him specifically because they felt he was the most pro ready. The roster usage was garbage last season.

It's not even a judgement on picking Bennett.. but the guy was not a useful piece at all and he was only there because they wanted NIs in that role. Maybe he develops more and is useful in the future, but last year he was not. So that coupled with a useless DI in Jackson and the defensive line was not a strength of this team because the rotational pieces were utter trash. Using the Nationalized American rule could have helped that.

What it does mean is that we wouldn't need useless uniform fillers like Bennett taking ineffective DL snaps during a game. Could use an American for that and have your Canadian depth be a useful piece somewhere else.
