Yeah the Wish Bone. That was it.
Also if you had a package for Glotz to run out of it that would be sweet. Could make for some very tricky option football.
-
Buck actually joked about the 3 running back formation in an interview during mini-camp. I can't remember what he called it.
Wish bone? If you could get 3 RB that were also capable receivers multi running back formations would give defense fits.

I was thinking they would/could squeegee or broom it to the drains (I have to assume there plumbed in, just not in the best of spots.)
Maybe each row gets its own shop vac.

A Lanister always pays his debts.

How is all this water getting under the roof?

Man that offense can me really dangerous with Garrett and Simpson in the back fields. Going have the LB stick around the line of scrimmage a little longer hopefully open up some passing lanes.

The first rows on the lower bowl is a easy fix, just drill some drainage holes on the field area. The upper deck might be a little more difficult.

I sent a email to the Bomber office I will see what they say.

Just wondering my sister went to pick up our season tickets yesterday and reported there was over a inch of water on the ground in our row. Anyone else have this problem? Wonder if they are going to do anything to fix this. It will be only a concern if its raining on game day or a few day in front of the game.

I can think of about 6 or 7 people I'd pick before Doug Brown, honestly.
Milt, Ploen, Walby, Poplawski, Cal Murphy, Tyrone Jones, Richard Harris, Cameron ...
ok, 8.
Not saying there aren't guys I'd put there before Brown, but Brown is definitely worthy of it.
Not to single you out on the subject but I think a man who won 4 Grey Cups in 10 years as Bomber head coach should be on one of the gates instead of Brown
-
Paul Friesen knows where he should go. If I was running a team these leaches would have to buy there own ticket into the game. Enjoying it or cover another sport Paul!

everyone likes to pile on Etienne, but to me Poblah is #1 on the gotta prove something this year list. Came in with so much hype it's about times he becomes a factor in the passing game.
I think we need to keep in mind though that Poblah has only started for one year, because he was hurt in his first year.
I think, as the Bombers did with Etienne, we need to have a little bit of patience with him.
I think putting him in the slot is the best way to use his skills and I hope to see him take another step in development this year.
Poblah has been out of position since he has got here. Has to be inside with Watson and Edwards. Too much talent there he did play division I football. Watson has to prove he can stay a full year healthy or else I think a import could move inside and a non import could move to wide out to fill the spot.

Leo Lewis, Willard Reaves, Bud Grant, James Murphy
Was Bud Grant one of the choices in the poll?
Hopefully they will honour all Bomber greats in some way at the stadium.
They said that other lesser gates will have a Bomber legends names attached to them.

I would of taken out Brown and put in Bud Grant

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2013 Season Preview
Starters on Offence (based on incumbent starters)
QB: Buck Pierce
OL: Glen January, Chris Greaves, Justin Sorenson, Steve Morely. RT will be up for grabs.
RB: Chad Simpson
FB: Michel-Pierre Pontbriand
WR: Chris Matthews, Terence Edwards, Cory Watson, Kito Plobah and Clarence Denmark
Starters on Defence (based on incumbent starters)
DE: Alex Hall, second spot up for grabs
DT: Bryant Turner, second spot will be up grabs
LB: Henoc Mumba, both WILL and SAM spots up for grabs
Safety: Cauchy Mumba
DB: Alex Suber, Brandon Stewart, Jonathon Hefney, and Jovon Johnson
Key Special Teamers
The return games has two guys in Jovon Johnson and Demond Washington who can take back the ball to the house every time they touch the ball. In the cover game Henoc Muamba and his MLB partner Pierre-Luc Labbe lead the way. While the team of kicker Justin Palardy and long snapper Chris Cvetkovic have been one of the more accurate duos in the league.
New Additions: QBs: Max Hall and Chase Clement, C Mark Dewit and S Cauchy Muamba
Draft: #2 DL Andy Mulumba (Green Bay Packers) #11 DB Kris Robertson (out ACL injury) #20 TE/FB Carl Fitzgerald (signed) #29 WR Michael DiCroce (signed) #46 WR Stephen Alli (taking a year off from football with a nagging injury) #54 P Billy Pavlopoulos (signed)
Players on the Bubble: The biggest player on the bubble at the moment is Mike Renaud. With three punters being brought in to compete he will be in tough. Clarence Denmark seems to be the receiver that will be under the biggest threat to lose his starting job. With 9 rookie DB's being brought in to camp there could be changes in the defensive back field. Another area where changes might be made is on the right side of the line with Steve Morely under heavy pressure to win his old job.
Last season summary: 6-12, 3rd in the East, missed the playoffs. Coming off a Grey Cup appearance things were looking up for the Bombers. However with a season opening 4 game road stretch and myriad of injuries to key players such and positions the Bombers got off to a rough start, which cost head coach Paul LaPolice his job. Included in those injuries was Buck Pierce who miss a majority of the season with multiple injuries. Under new head coach Tim Burke thing did not immediately get better. Yet as the season went on a offence that really had struggled in the first part became much improved under OC Gary Crowton. Defensively the team took a step back from the previous year where they were the number one unit in the league. Although flashes of the previous season were seen there were too many broken coverage's and assignments leading to a huge number of long plays against the them.
2013 outlook and prediction: It will be interesting to see if the Blue can build on the late season emergence of their offence with Gary Crowton totally in charge of the offense dozen from start to finish. This will all depend on the O-lines ability to keep Buck on his feet. The lack of experience behind Buck means win may be hard to find if he goes down during the season. While a much improved run game led by a healthy Chad Simpson, which was seen during the latter part of the season, may help keep Buck healthy. On the other side of the ball a large influx of new players from the states was brought in to challenge some of the underperforming vets. It will be seen if any of these players can plug the holes at WILL/SAM/DE/DT and elevate the Bomber D back to the top of leader board. Predicting the Bomber record comes down to one fact Buck Pierces health, if healthy there is no reason this team cannot go 10-8 or 9-9 with a playoff berth. Without Buck it looks like it could be another 6-12 season with no playoffs.

If you need someone I would take on a team.
-
Probably a good idea. Cut down on some of the training camp injuries.
-
Looks really good guys. Really enjoy any place to talk Blue so should be fun.
-
DB should be a interesting battle too the vets will be pushed. I think Burke said yesterday they have brought in 9 new DBs.

thanks mike

Has anyone noticed much of Freddie Harris by looking at him looks like he could be very versatile. Play some end and lb.
