  1. Re-watched the game. Bombers D had very little push up the middle but overall D is solid. Special teams better than previous couple years. O looked lost for the most part. O line struggled and did not dominate. Here's hoping J Jackson can be honest with Hogan, Osh etc in his assessment of Collaros, who's clearly on the downswing in terms of arm strength. Let's face it, Strev has better accuracy and velocity. In some ways we were lucky to be facing Masoli or result could've been different.

    And of course add Brady when he's ready.

    Jesus christ lol. It reminds me of that stupid misdirection play Mike Kelly had before the snap. Brock Ralph in a sweep motion, withe the rb and someone else all running behind Bishop before the snap, they'd all bonk their heads together like the 3 stooges.

    Ha ha! Hogan's no slouch. He can figure it out. Multiple runners in the backfield at the same time. Misdirection. Vary the gaps. Rinse & repeat. O-line would love it.

    Cooley actually is a power back with finesse.  A work horse..a bit different feom Peterson and sometimes just the out of nowhere change messes teams up.

    I want to see a formation with Peterson Cooley Demski Chris-Ike and Streveler lined up together all at once. Add Logan when he's healthy and let them just take turns running the eff out of it.

    Could be a lot of stuff...kind of awkward takedown on the long run as Brady is pulling ball in and BC DB pulling back on his shoulder pad while trying to strip him.  Could be pec/bicep.

    He was reaching under his shoulder pad when he got up from the tackle - could be a shoulder or collarbone.

    Funny thing about the complaining about kick returns as some kind of franchise curse is we have the most total return TD's and fewest return TD's scored on us among CFL teams in the past 10 CFL seasons.

    I agree, kick/punt cover and returns are not a curse for us. But for one side of the equation - most TDs scored - I'd venture to say this is because we had Janarion Grant in Blue & Gold from 2019 to 2023. And if you look at total yards gained on kick and punt returns since we let Grant get away, Bombers are just about the worst in the league. This, despite the fact we force opponents to kick to us more often than virtually every other team - credit our defence for forcing those 3rd down punts. Really, that is an opportunity squandered: more punts coming to us, but among fewest yards gained. Bomber fans see this intuitively - we are getting lots of chances to return the ball but often losing the overall field position battle.

  6. I'm interested to see how we line up and run edge plays and misdirection counters on a 65-wide field this year with a new OC who is steeped in the CFL ground game. Thinking we are going to see some new wrinkles on the ground and not just in Q4. I am trying to imagine how you defend against Oliveira, Streveler, Chris-Ike, and Peyton Logan (once healthy) in the backfield all at once.
