We haven't missed Bond in the least.. sure he was good...but not the main piece that held this group together.
Oline play and being dominant is a lot of times due to familiarity and cohesion between a group of guys who have spent a lot of time together as a group which this group has.
Factor in that chungh..Bryant.. goose and Hardrick are all top shelf talents and well you have basically the best line in the league..they trust each other...know each others tendancies and work off it.
The beauty of it is they will/should all be back again next yr if we want them so things will continue on the same way.
I gotta mention that Hardrick has been dominant this year..takes his blocks to the extreme and just doesn't let his guys go..send them into the next level consistently..he is one of the straws that stirs the oline's drink and his attitude and edge is a big part of the oline's personality..love that guy out on the field

In short, it’s the cumulative effect of several factors, one being the absence of Travis Bond. I also think OL play as a cohesive group can make up for the loss of one dominant starter.
Further, I think the benefits elsewhere on the roster, MLB in particular, tilt the scales in favour of Neufeld starting.
We still have the best OL in the league.
Just my 0.02

Nichols has a deal were he feeds the hogs anytime they keep him clean, it happened at least 2 or 3 times last season.

Happy Honker to Ryan Lankford for getting his sorry ass benched - return game was much better with Cooper back there.

Being the homer that I am i'd disagree. Replay showed to me the BC player had no intention in trying to catch/knock ball out of bounds. His attention from the start was purely on hitting Adams.

Piggy 1 reacted to Brandon in The Day Early Game Day Thread BC @ WPG
I'm surprised this thread is so quiet? A big win by the Blue and I thought the o-line looked fantastic and the d-line as well had their way all night.
The only negative I have from watching the game is the onside kick and cheap shot at the very end. What was the point of Wally calling for the onside kick and the guy who took the cheap shot I would hope gets suspended. That was as intentional as could be.

If we give up only 17 points - that Mars colony could be possible after all.

Both will be in the backfield - Streveler at RB. Two headed monster.

What's becoming abundantly clear is the D. has not improved enough to compete with upper echelon teams like the Ti-Cats, Stamps and Esks.

Trestman did the same thing to revive Calvillo’s career. I think teams will do it until the Bombers show an inclination to adjust.

Any team that can just chuck the ball up, is a threat.....against our pass defense.

I have to be the pessimist here. If they can’t even make adjustments to an obviously inept defensive game plan at halftime, I have no reason to believe they’ll beat B.C.
