Harris is a pro, no questions asked he will put in maximum effort all the time and make plays as a result. We're lucky to have him.
-
Yeah but Stubler is another bend but don't break guy, if that's the case might as well stick with Hall. I would love to get a guy like Thorpe or Steinhauer if they become available for sure though.

First post 'expectations in '17'
17to85 replied to DowntownStadium's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I dunno that it was, it's just that the stadium was there for 50 years, people figured out what worked for them and had that same routine every single time. New location though people have to come up with new ****. I know the few times I go to games I usually park somewhere a ways off and walk, it's fine. Now maybe people don't want to walk and that's the problem? -
Trade Barker & Milanovich for O'Shea & Walters?
17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The problem isn't that Ray turned to glass, the problem is that the Argos OL took a down turn and they haven't fixed it. Bomber fans of all people should know that a crappy OL is a recipe for QBs getting hurt. -
Trade Barker & Milanovich for O'Shea & Walters?
17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
the question would be though, good scouting of qbs or good coaching of qbs? Who did Barker bring into the league in his previous stops? -
You know what, I love me some Andrew Harris for a lot of reasons but he's not the same level of threat that Milt or Charlie were. Those two were just something else. Milt moreso than Charlie.
-
He was fast but the way I always remember him saying it was it wasn't just the fact he had speed, it was that he was in such good shape that over the length of the field he could out run anyone cause he had more stamina than they did, and I'd believe that. plus he was smart enough to know where to get himself on the field to have some space to work with.

My hate for Burris is stronger than anything so **** that guy this weekend. Seriously I dislike Burris so much I don't think I could even root for him if he were a Bomber...

Division Final Sunday Esks @ REDBLACKS / Lions @ Stamps

That's cause Burris sucks in poor weather games. -
Did you hear some of the questions? The media deserves disdain. You can tell which guys Walters respects and which he doesn't which is totally fair. Guys like Wiecek and Friesen deserve nothing but scorn for their shameful work. Laziest bunch of hacks ever
-
You can tell that he thought the question was asinine that is all. He said flat out he trusts his coach and supports him making in game decisions. Walters said straight up he wants oshea back so he obviously believes in the man as head coach

yeah and a lot of people would ***** about the location no matter where they built the stadium. It really is irrelevant to the point here. Win and put on a good show for the fans and they'll quit bitching and show up because it's a good time and money and time well spent. -

Lots of people say **** like that all the time, bottom line is that once the Bombers start putting on a show for the fans at home they'll show up again. Fact is though that the Bombers get killed at IGF more often than not so people don't go cause chances of seeing that memorable game are pretty low. -
everyone else always did.

Sounds like Chungh might not be a free agent
17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
because this is what Kyle Walters did in free agency: and when guys started to get hurt they needed to bring in replacements and it probably got them too close to the cap. -
Next .... What changes will bring a Championship?
17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Seems like the classy thing to do is not bring that up. -
Nichols is like the new Kevin Glenn and I mean that in a good way. They are a bit different in terms of their mentality but I think you can win with either of them but there is always a sexier option out there.
-
Are we really concerned about being outbid anyway? Walters has shown he's willing to pay to get the guys he wants.
-
few years ago I'd have taken Durant in a heart beat and the Riders would be fools to not bring him back. As it stands now he's better than Nichols provided he can actually stay healthy enough to play but you don't toss nichols away after the season Winnipeg just had.

17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
certainly the last part of the season. He was on a hell of a tear to start the year but then he got hurt and that's when people started to question him. -

17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
but it's not the Canadians that are really the issue. Westerman might be the best DL we have and it's the other DE spot that has been an issue which has been an American. -

17to85 replied to Mike's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
No ******* kidding, the CFL norm be damned our OL with 3 americans might be one of the best in the league, why in gods name wouldn't we keep that going? The amount of time Nichols had in the pocket in the playoff game was something we haven't seen in these parts in ages, just bottles the mind that people don't recognize how much that move to go 3 americans on the OL helped to turn around the season. -

17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
we have seen that Mike O'Shea trusts his coordinators to do his job. It's not that he has no input, it's that once he hires someone he trusts them to get the results he wants. I just have listened to how O'Shea talks about more aggressive defenses and you can tell he has an admiration for them. -

17to85 replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
a reliable deep threat receiver would be killer. someone who can go up and get the ball consistently and then we do need more pressure up front on D. I do wonder if Ritchie Hall is the man to build the kind of defense we need though. I just don't think a bend but don't break D is the answer in the CFL anymore. I would much rather have the swaggerville type D where the mantra is "we won't bend and we're going to break you"
