do or die

Come to think of it.....burns me that the Club used the ole injury excuse.....and failed to give me my shot.........

At this rate.....it will have to be the Cornish Library....

Player convinced he didn't get a shot?. Film at 11.

You're just throwing stuff up against the wall....

So....if I was to boldly venture forth from the depths of my gentleman's cavern, some day....what place in town would provide a suitable venue for watching a Bomber road game? Comfortable environment and edible food would be preferred.....

Age... is in the eye of the beholder.....

Well, this business of "amateurs" deferring to the "professional" coach stuff.....makes plenty of sense, in the abstract main. But over time, plenty of guys with that title have come down the pipe.....and have made what have been proven to be many mistakes in on field/personnel decisions. Our job on MorningBigBlue...is to merely separate the wheat from the chaff.....which requires a certain amount of discussion and....dare I say it....debate. Besides, it's not like any of us are going to get the opportunity to prove otherwise....

Frank Williams.....

Kuale and Bryant were simply taking up space....

Lot of unproven in here.....

A glowing recommendation, alright.....

If true, that would be weak sauce on MB's part. One of the most effective backup situations, is when the #2 can throw defenses, a change up. If Marcel could or would not "change a lot of things" simply because of different styles of QB (which many other teams have handled in the past)........then we need another OC, here.

Well, Brohm must have "real good practices"... because, frankly I haven't seem him accomplish much of anything, yet......

Even better: West-Battle-Jones-Brown

Think the idea was to stop the carny schemes.....and simply improve some positions, in a more stable environment...

Yup, sort of like guys were just looking/waiting around for a big hit, great catch or whatever.......by somebody else..

There are a number of variables....in having short pass plays in front of the marker: How well your scheme clears out the target area - have you already stretched the field, somewhat? Ability of the receiver to get open, find the marker, and break tackles Ability of other receivers to block down the field QB's ability to look off defenders/read the zone The timing of the pass - how fast does it get there/ hits him in stride? Play action/roll out? Bombers have struggled with some of these facets, for some YEARS, now......under a number of coaches btw, sort of fits in with the total bloody ineptitude of this team.... to execute a (@#%#$&* screen pass.

We have brought in some guys, who seem to have "potential".....but in a very limited window/small sample size....we just don't know yet..... which ones can/will become "proven" Despite, what should be some improved areas....this team is definitely a work in progress.....

Some of this retrospective boosting of Lapo.....is a bit thick....

Well, that would be real stupid, on their part....Marve has been the only guy who even appears to be able to accomplish anything, when Willy goes out.......

There wasn't any more.......

You need to be able to run the ball, to make a short passing game work.....

Even better....to be able to do it!

I swear, we are (still) the most inept team in football......at executing a screen pass...

And it turned out nice again.....at least weather wise.... Shades of bad ole days.....Bomber D scored on in 1st series.... Zach Collaros, RB Holly, and the rest of the Hamilton O, looked sharp.... ....as they found enough holes in Bomber D...to fill the Albert Hall..... Blue D played a ton of zone, not particularly well...... Denmark had a nice bomb from Willy..... ...but most of the night it was 5 yard hooks, curls and slants..... Bombers need work on kick returns..... Ditto short yardage situations...... Also avoiding dumb penalties ( Washington, Gibson, Bass) Gibson did make some plays, though..... ...and K. Bass was working it pretty hard.... Bomber O and D schemes looked pretty....uh, ....OK, will avoid the overused word and call it, uh..inelaborate.... Long kick returns directly set up 10 Hamilton points.... Could of been worse..... ...the Cats stalled in red zone, on a couple drives and dropped 3 picks...... Cotton will start at RB....with perhaps Marshall... MOS drags starting O, back on field to start 2nd half... ....another bad flashback....Willy blindsided on blitz.... ....Drew was then nailed firmly to the bench, at that point... Is there another team in football...as bad as Blue on screen passes? Brohm throws a nice ball....but looks like a paint-by-numbers guy... Portis seems to lack some touch on his throws... J. Adams looks like a keeper at DB..... JFG and Bastien look like an OK rotation at SB....... Tigercat O certainly dropped off, when Collaros departed... Hurl has more range, than I thought...at MLB... Robert Marve helped his cause, tonight..... Can't say the same for Brohm and Portis...... Marve does provide a change up and a different tempo..... Willy got pretty pissed with Jhomo Gordon on a busted pattern... M. Goossen has some attitude....... Too bad Yantz didn't get in...... Not happy with tonight's result.... But back in the park, with gin in hand.... .....will do to go on with, for now...
