Yeah no need to flip another spot if they went American at RB. Bringing back JA was a mistake IMO. Along with a few others that have been discussed.

Oh I could see it being significantly more if his current play continues. Especially if CGY is in the mix....

I wonder if pressure just gets to him eventually...like not Dline pressure. But pressure of being the guy. When he came here in 2019, he talked about having fun and just going out there and playing football again. 2 grey cups/2 Mops/ big ass contract/media attention etc etc etc and that looseness seems to be gone a bit. Same thing happened in Hamilton as well.

He's not their biggest problem. But I'm not sure how anyone can watch him play when it matters and suggest he's playing well. Yup he's got a lot of yards and TDs but garbage time is a real thing.

I honestly think MOS just thinks those guys are the best at their spots...but assuming youre right, why would they be developing so many positions to be Canadian? They've started at least 1 more Canadian than needed going on 2 years now? Maybe more? The talent pool dictates that developing that many positions isn't likely to turn up positive results.

A lot of people said that about Allen. People also said that about VA, people said that about Fajardo. Writing a guy off after barely 2 seasons in the league is short sighted. He needs time. I hope it's the Bombers that give it to him. That's not really an apples to apples comparison though. When you have a star Canadian (especially MOP level star) at any position they will command more $$. If Philpot continues his season you don't think he'll be up there with the highest paid wr? What did Fantuz get? What was Henoc making in his prime? If Betts had stuck around he'd be up there. Point being, star Canadians always come at a premium.

There are always exceptions to the rules though. Brady is one of them. This teams success has mostly been dictated by how well they run the ball. Look back at those grey cups as see how well our RBs were utilized compared to the 2 they won.

If you're talking about signing two guys to replace Brady. You're not saving that much. On top of that you'll see production drop unless you find a gem of an American. Which sounds easy, but there are 8 other teams and maybe 1 is at Bradys level right now. Either way, replacing a home town star is not the 1st place I'd look by a long shot. Qb, Wr, DL, LB and secondary all have contracts that aren't paying off.

Bryant will be playing. Bet on it.

I'm not convinced Lucky is that WR. I know what you mean...I just haven't seen that in his game. He will be useful for sure. But I think it'll be more as a burner downfield/sweeps etc.

There were countless times when a Hamilton rec was running wide open underneath, right by BO....and he just looked right past them and threw into coverage or over threw a wr downfield. That guy is toast.

I thought they could start blocking as soon as the ball left the qbs hand? That's what I was thinking last night. Would be nice to see mtl lose....but bombers need cgy to lose more. Watching fletcher and Armstrong made me want a combo of BO and Smith. The Bombers could use a home run hitter back there. BO is great, but with a twitchy guy like fletcher some of those runs BO busted would have been TDs.

Yeah it was preseason Bryant has missed 1 game as a Bomber. And it was end of year game against cgy. And Gray didn't take his place.

That's not true. Gray has played RT before and looked bad. There was a reason why nuef was ahead of him in that regard. Gray never filled in for Bryant....outside of a preseason game.

I feel like a lot of people are forgetting what our wr corps is like right now. Demski is Number 1 and wolly number 2. Neither one of those guys are those things though. Our passing game is going to struggle until Lawler comes back. Doesn't matter who is behind centre.

Gray is not a tackle

No. Brown doesn't have the same speed as Crum. That's what moved their offense...especially in the 4th. Brown playing, the Bombers likely put up more points because ott would have had more 2 and outs.

They're only ripe for so long

If bighill never sees another snap I won't be mad.

I can't believe he's still on the field

Not ejection....benching

Streveler!.... lol jk jk. I'll say philpot(mtl)

there isn't a single Defence in any football league anywhere that can be considered good when they give up 500 yards. I don't care what the O does or doesn't do. 500 yards = shitty defense. EOS

You mean the defense that gave up 500yrd to BC? Or the defense that made Cody Fajardo look like the best qb in the league? Or was it the defense that let Dru Brown look like a vet? Which defense do you mean?

That was 100% spearing. The crown of the helmet can never be the first point of contact. Especially against a player in a vulnerable position such as throwing the ball. The fact the command centre didnt step pissed me off. I'm genuinely confused by how that thing works. Will magically step in to call no end penalties or offside....but ignore a play that takes down someone who is (supposed to be anyways) one of the leagues stars?? It doesn't make sense
