    Better athleticism .. better range .. if nothing else it allows him some latitude to react to mental lapses .. he *IS* an upgrade over Logan in that he has a much higher ceiling

    Have you seen Cauchy throw a hit yet? It almost looks like he is scared. Doug Brown mentioned the other day that Wally NEVER lets NI talentwalk away for nothing.......I think we are seeing why he did.

    They were all on Simpson, Goltz pulls it and he's in the 2nd level (first down) with the possibility of more if he can beat a HB. He needs to read that end on his right, they are attacking his inside or outside gap depending on what he shows, he went inside (B or 4) the ball and Goltz needed to go outside (C or 6). Goltz's TD was almost exactly the same, except he made the right choice on that one.

    I see what you are saying but I didn't see the same penetration on the TD run, that I did on the failed handoff. To me it looked like both choices were made before the play was ran, with one choice being the correct call for the play and one not being a good choice. Almost like they wanted to show read option but knew what they were doing priopr to the snap.

    So what was wrong with play call? It was a read play, instead of pulling it and busting contain when both ends crashed in, Goltz gave it to Simpson with three Lions already there. Bad read, nothing wrong with the call. That is Goltz's bread and butter, he sucks on sneaks from under centre, IMO that is exactly what every OC in the league would call in that spot with Goltz.

    And I guess thats why every DC in the league would know it was coming and stop it as easily as they did. Assuming Goltz could have broke contain there is being optimistic....you already pointed out how soon the Lions players were "right there".

    JJ had a great game. really stood out IMO. Makes me think a little more about the theroy that was floating around out there that the guys in our secondary were screwing up because they were trying to cover for Cauchy every game. Cauchy looked freaking lost out there today and when BC scored on him the player wouldn't stop blabbing about how he beat Cauchy fo the score. If Cauchy was supposed to be an upgrade over Logan I haven't seen it so far.

    I am glad everyone who has made it to the site is enjoying it here.   For those of you who have newly found there way, if you have any suggestions on how to get the word out, ie. how you found us or where you looked, let me know.

    Man trust me, the word is getting out. I have spoke to a bunch of OB members in the last few weeks and all of them cannot stand that guy anymore and I have sent PMs to tell them about this site. They are all passing it on to their friends on OB as well. I just logged in there again to see If Colin had responded to my messages but of course he did not, but I looked around and the whole site is just a few posters bitching . Shankman must have taken the weekend off but I suspect upon his return that half the active threads will either be deleted, locked or pp slapped for not staying on topic.

    I would "Buck Pierce" Mr Mack......he has proven he can kind find talent here and there but he has also proven he cannot build a winning team. Bombers should work out a deal to get Mack to take a pay cut and re define his role. Making him a Scout or player personnel type guy or somtehting creatively similar and assitant to the GM, Who should be Neil McEvoy. His 18 years of experience in the CFL all the while learning and waching Wally would be the exact type of guy we need around here.

    Well I had sent Shankman a message letting him know that he was driving long time posters away and he just wanted to blame the people that were leaving for " not following the rules"   He also said that he get a lot of positive feedback, more so than negative. I call BS on that. I knew there were a bunch of people who were un happy with his antics but it is his arrogance and bullying that really drove me away. Of Course Colin never responded to my PM's either. That place was already like a ghost town and its only going to get worse with Shankman running things. Oh well, goodriddance.

    When did Bender ever show any knowledge. Last year none of the Sun's writer knew an Aussie was a NI.

     

    To the QB development topic, its clear you need a QB coach and to develop an OL etc.

    Some of the backups weve seen the last few weeks have looked pretty solid. Do you put most that on raw talent or coaching? Mitchell , Collaros ,....how much developing has Tornoto done with him? I see the beneifit of having a solid QB coach but sometimes the QB just has to have some natural skill too.

    And here I thought I was going to come here and post my frustrations with being singled out by Shankman.......low an behold he has been screwing with everyone. As others have done, I sent Colin a few PM's to try an let him know that his mod was ruining the OB expereince beyond anything the posters ever did. No response. I don't know what happened to Grumpy Old Man over there but when he was the main MOD things were a lot better. Hopefully Grumpy is around here now? Anyway, I havent been around here much but Shankman has inspired me to move on from OB. Kind of ironic when a mod who is supposed to maintain the quality of the site is actually the one destroying it.

    One of the reasons Buchko should be front and center is for this reason. His job is to make sure the club does well financially. I remember last year when a whole lot of guys would say:"If you don't keep your ticket, there will be all kind of others wanting it". Here we are in a brand new stadium and after three games there are already about 5,000 who did not return from the first game. There is nothing to say the trend will not continue after the bad game last Friday. Putting butts in the seats should be his concern and right now he has to convince the fans who walk up to the ticket office it's worth their while to keep coming to the stadium.

     

    The fans right now are not happy and they want to know what's up. The senior management needs to step up and rally the troops because that is part of their job. They remain silent and the fans will punish them while punishing the whole operation.

    I get what you're saying but lets put this in perspective. The OG quote from the Sun that started this was just saying that an interview or comment from Mack and Garth was denied.....On a Sunday, and only specifically to the Winnipeg Sun. Just because one media outlet calls the Bombers on a Sunday doesn't mean Mack is going to drop whatever he is doing and hold a press conference.

    I care what Mack has to say because this is his team. He hired the HC. he brings in the players. How can you ask if anyone cares what Mack has to say??? Everytime there's a problem the guy turtles & runs. That seems to be his answer.

    Ok let me fill you in....

    Media: Joe , Your team stinks , what is the problem?

    Mack: We aren't winning football games. We need to get better. We will fix it.

    Media: But Joe , Burke said that we could judge this team after 4 weeks and it's week 5.....and the teamisn't looking any better?

    Mack: We need to get better in all areas. The product on the field  isn't good enough. We need to improve. We will find new players if we have to. We will get better.

    Media: What message do you want to send to the Bomber fans that are upset with how the season is going?

    Mack: We appreciate your support, the fans deserver better from us and I promise we will work harder to put a better product on the field. We will get better.

     

     

    There ya go, feel better now? I hope you realise that what Joe Mack says , means nothing. If we were 5-0 would you care what Joe Mack has to say? What he says wont change anything...nothing at all. It's what he DOES that matters.

    Does anyone really care what Garth, Bell or Mack have to say? All were gonna get from them is a bunch of canned cliches ......I prefer to see actions, rather than hear words.If talent is the issue , then bring in new guys. If coaching is the issue, then bring in new coaches.If the GM is the problem,then find a new one. A few quotes in a newspaper means nothing to me.
