do or die

We talk a lot about our now established OL and how it will key good things on O. Well, the "key" to this D will be how quickly the DL (which appears to have added some nice parts) can mesh and provide more push on the passer and interior beef against the run gaps. Last season, our D collapsed down the stretch and in the playoff game, because of the lack of both.

Even Jones couldn't cheat enough to get the Riders 10 wins.....

A lot of variables go into producing that final statistic

K. Mitchell - V. Young - J. Johnson.... It may be real incremental....but the signings are getting a wee bit better.....

No, his 100 scouts agreed that J. J. could turn that secondary around....

The guys beside him are no hell, either...

You must understand....that The Plan is not merely static.....but flexible and organic. It can change shape and be proclaimed in a multitude of tongues.....

Nothing is that quick....

Too bad about Vince....with copious amounts of grooming, coaching, encouragement and time......Riders could of eventually had a fringe #3 QB, there

Also read on RF, last week... that Bennett had a stronger arm......than.... Dieter....Brock

Ok, I now think we have the answer......

Still remember the X game.... when Burke talked before the game, about pulling Buck Pierce, if the Argos would blitz. So guess what Toronto did? Buck was then pulled out of the game. Such weak sauce......was worried about Burke, right from the get-go.

Poop can sure run downhill....

Forever Young

Not that excited abut Lankford.....but I can always be swayed

Alexander broke up 3 pass attempts and had some tackles....he helped himself, last nite

Penalties set up 21 Esks points.....this cannot continue.

Davis got going once Bond was relieved of snapping duties....

We need to bring back Macho and Joe Adams....

Lankford does not read too well on the returns....

I get... that lineups play calls, systems et al. are not all in place yet. But don't know of any CFL rule that says you can't just beat somebody off the line and get some pressure on the opposing QB.

Yup....and it may be time for him to leave.....

The sun came out just before the game… The Bomber first string D……uh, nope… 3 penalties, then B. Johnson beat in the red zone… Thorpe mishandles KO, while Blue take 4th penalty in 4 min. Andrew Harris is still a stud…..his running and catching… ….sets up a field goal……7-3 Moes T. J. Thorpe shows some YAC potential…then limps off the field.. Couple of run stuffs by Nevis, some passes defended by Alexander… James Franklin looking poised and throwing nice balls… …easier to do, when you have 6 steamboats to throw the thing Randle breaks up TD pass in end zone…FG makes it 10-3 Edm. Smally fumbles the ensuing KO…..Moes driving again. Franklin mishandles snap on Bomber 4 yd line….turnover Scoreboard somehow showing Bombers with 0 penalties so far… Do I feel better somehow? 1 turnover on downs, 1 fumbled KR and 6 penalties…in the 1st quarter Harris still running well, behind good blocking… Franklin still throwing well, without any pass rush, whatsoever… He then bombs a long one to some guy named Mitchell…. ….then Rookie L. Perkins busts right up the gut for long TD run. Bombers down 17-3…..first string D looking pretty loose out there…… Bombers get going with big pass to Denmark…. Drive ends with Nichols hitting Denmark over the middle for the TD… Bomber DE’s not doing much of anything this half…… This is the best Bomber OL in ions… J. Westerman gets his obligatory dumb late penalty… Nichols in the groove now…lovely hitch and go TD pass to Adams… 17-17 at the half… Big Boy Bond at C…..but snapping does not appear to be his thing… Davis now in at QB…requiring great athletic tools to catch said snaps… Esks taking a lot of flags now…. Kyree Wilson gets in a big lick on punt coverage… Brian Walker gets INT on under thrown ball… Couture now at C…giving Davis some relief… Both O’s sputtering so far in 3rd Quarter… Doug Brown calls it a “defensive chess game” Do or Die calls it “Topor” Bob Irving getting some calls wrong……X season, alright… Davis throws nice long one to Flanders… ..then bombs away to Ladanian Washington.....followed by short TD run. Kid does have some tools….Bombers up 24-17 John Rush clobbers somebody on a punt return B. Alexander still making some plays in the D backfield… Long PI call on Lankford gets the Bombers in close… LeFevour goes left…then right for slick TD run….31-17 Blue… Second string defenders laying out harder hits than first unit… Tic tac PI call (the first of many) sets up EDM TD run….31-24 L. Washington makes a couple of plays at DB… Flanders breaks off sexy 45 yd TD run….38-24 New kid misses 2nd field goal…Medlock safe for now… B. Walker continues his good night with big hit… 2 more 50/50 PI calls set up a short TD plunge 38-30 Time running out….Edm goes for short kick…and get it… Incomplete pass on 3rd down ….game over Nope…..Blue called for late hit. Incompletion in endzone game over…nope… ANOTHER PI Eskimoes run it in from the 2. 38-38 and fit to be tied. Bombers unbeaten…..Offense and QB depth looking good Bombers winless …….D playing soft and blowing leads, again Take more gin, in the next 16 days to figure this out.

Some of them, even stick around....
