  1. Brightest spot was special teams

    Did they swap numbers before the game? I was so confused as to who was out there.

    Pretty sure they both had the opposite jerseys on last night.

    A curveball thrown to camp observers. Between the breaking ball and beer consumption I couldn't figure it out last night and scratched my head for most of the game.

     

    The announcer also kept calling Maher Lirim and vice versa.  Totally confusing :)

    I hate to nitpick but i am going too..... i'm sure the Bombers have plenty of other things to wory about but are they ever going to do anything with the gold vinyl wrap on the walls?  They pulled it tight and screwed it to the concrete everywhere but the corners.  I thought last year it was just rushed and they would have had time to do it in the off season but it looks terrible.  Get someone on that! ;)

    say what you will about burke the head coach, he was awful terrible a joke,but burke the DC is a very very respected coordinator.

     

    I'm curious if you polled bomber fans and asked, who would you rather have as DC... burke or ETCH.. i think burke might win that poll.

    Right now I'd say Burke over Etch.  But I am willing to give Etch a few weeks to see where this goes...

    another comment I had was when the camera focused on Tim Burke in the press box at the controls of the Argo Defence. He had that same blank stare on his face that he used to have on the sidelines with us. I just felt so happy seeing him there that he wasn't our head coach anymore. Then I saw the White Zombie on the sidelines for Toronto too. Is Toronto collecting all of our bad ex-coaches? Where is Reinebold this year? Toronto could use him too. Add in Mike Kelly and they'll have the power quartet of futility.

     

    Hey now don't forget about Greg Marshall!  He needs some lovin too.

  6. Who gets cut first

    Garvin is the first name I think of. He's hopelessly out of place as a db, & he did very little as a returner. 

     

    I didn't think Fraser looked bad. I'm suprised at the number of people who have singled him out.

    Only two of us did.  And I only said it cause Mike did......lol ok i'm kidding.  I just didn't see much out of him but then again it's tough to really single out anyone on D when they are all running all over the place.

    what about dunn and suber? suber was picked on until he was taken out. plus markett showed well, so did bruce johnson and they are high on unumba.

    I think a few vet DB's may be on the bubble. Suber, Dunn, and Banks looked pretty craptastic out there.

     

    Suber and Banks took a lot of bad penalties as well.  Not what you want from your Vets even in a pre-season game!

    That Jaymar Johnson play where he just stumbled out of bounds after catching the ball two yards from the sidelines screamed "cut" to me.

    I turned to the guy behind me as soon as he steped out of bounds and said "well he's cut" and everyone laughed.  I feel Johnson was the worst on the field yesterday.  Also Tarver, Fraser and Moseley.

    two plays by WIlly stood out to me...

     

    1) I didn't like that deep ball to Moore.... even if the throw was on target Moore was still lined up to be destroyed by the safety.... Willy just needs to recognize that coverage over the top...

    2) loved when he handed off to Cotton (maybe it was Grigsby?) and then took off in front of him to block.... it does make me a little nervous to see the starting QB as a lead blocker but still love the determination in the red zone...

     

    Overall, a pretty solid effort... I can't remember the last time I left the stadium feeling ok about a loss...

     

     

    There are just soooooo many jokes you can make with the last name Willy.  I can see this getting out of hand!

    Haven't had time to read through all the posts.  Not sure if mentioned but I like the ST play most of the night.  I don't think they they allowed TO past the 25 on any kickoff (unless there was a penalty) for the first half and maybe a few times in the second half (3rd/4th) stringers.  Most of the time we had to back up so we didn't draw a no yards penalty!  I know a lot of this was due to the great kickoffs and punts but it seemed the guys were all over the ball or the carrier rather quickly.

     

    Also the park and ride in and out was super quick.  No delays in or out.  The staff seemed extra friendly all over the stadium.  Quick concession lines etc. etc.  Just a props overall to IGF staff.  They seemed to have figured out a lot of the kinks.  

  12. Bud Grant statue unveiling in October

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    To be honest, I don't hope it's the first of many. Less is better, it is more of an honor that way.

    That's my opinion anyway.

     

    I could be wrong but I thought he meant the first of many statues honouring Bomber players, not just Bud Grant. Of course, I could be misunderstanding your comment.

    Yeah I meant I don't want a whole whack of statues honouring a bunch of players. Keeping the elite group small is the way to go in my opinion. It prevents the watering down of a great honour.

    I didn't mean "many" as they should make a hundred of them. I think realistically 4-6 is probably the number. Who else can you think of Ploen, Lewis, Battle, Brock, Stegall??

  17. Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    @ArashMadani: BREAKING: Have learned the three #CFL teams in Ontario will have a strike "re-vote" Saturday, and now will include rookies, in prep to walk.

    @ArashMadani: If strike re-vote passes in Ontario Saturday, non-Alberta #CFL players may walk Sunday, which would cancel Monday’s pre-season game in Wpg.

    @ArashMadani: Have learned last #CFL proposal includes adding another playoff game if league expands to 10 teams (w/ no increase to playoff compensation).

    Why re-vote?

    You would think that with that heavy strike support vote that was leaked, (98%) they could just do it anyway. :unsure:

    Re-vote would include rookies meaning they can strike too.

     

    But there wouldn't be enough rookies to make a difference with that overwhelming majority, unless the legislation in Ontario stipulates otherwise.

    Yeah how many rookies would there really be? 15-20 a team? Would that difference really do anything if they have 98% yes already?

    Met and/or briefly talked with January, Greaves, Saulsberry and Kowalczuk. Kowalczuk said the he loves O'Shea, that as a former player he really understands them. Raved about Bob Wylie, said he's showing them clips of guys he coached in the 80s. Thinks they've got the right people in place in all the right areas.

    Also January said he appreciated the support from the fans. Him and the guy next to me were chatting about the labour stuff I think.

    Guy, next to you... That would be me. The Linemen were pretty appreciative of the fans coming out and supporting them.
    Ha, you know I'm always wondering if I'm sitting right by another MBB member when I come on here during camp.
    Which is why we all need those MBB shirts ;)

    But then you'll know my secret identity.

    I already know who you are. Your're the guy that looks like your avy pic but with a marvel Bomber Shirt on :)

    I said it earlier and I will say it again.  I just hope they aren't killing these guys too early.  I know everyone is fighting for jobs and trying to impress but I hope the coaches aren't pushing them too much.  The one thing I thought Lapo and Burke did well was not push too much in Training Camp and save the bodies for the season.  I cant remember too many injuries the last two training camps other then Watson who was taken out by Dan West.  Maybe I just have a short memory...

     

    what ? we have lot of training camp injuries too... especially during lapo's time.

     

    I'm not saying we never had any.  I just don't remember this many before we even had a preseason game.  Although some of them may not even be injuries they just so that the player is not on the field...

    "But let the record show one of the most-impressive passes thrown through the early days of camp was an absolutely perfect spiral that covered 50 yards after simple a flick of a 48-year-old ex-quarterback's wrist." 

     

    Author? Ed Tait

     

    Who he was talking about?  Danny McMannus

    Well Danny is 48 so I guess so!  Wonder if his body could hold up for a whole season....
