Or.... cough cough hack... we bring back Morley as RG and Greaves at RT... just sayin

I would try Greaves but get an American in the interior... pretty tight turnaround though, Corey Lewis' highlight reel seems to be full of plays that should be penalties... Daniels was getting turnstyled in the second half, honestly don't see how Greaves can be worse. Bryant-Goossen/Chungh-Picard-Import-Greaves Just make sure you have extra blocking FB/RBs out there on the right side...

His agent tweeted, and not him? Lmao. That's creative!An agent is expected to be his advocate. Just saying that we don't know the whole story... not that that's ever stopped us before

That was kind of my point about not signing any free agents... would be nice to have a proven depth centre.

Simmons didn't tweet anything, his agent did... of course guys complain behind the scenes about not playing I do see his frustration - he's bounced around and then had a breakout season, now is back as a fringe player in his peak years. Best thing he could do right now is fire his agent though...

Buono did the same thing to Westerman...

Its not the plays that are necessarily vanilla... its the playcalling - the variety of looks and plays in the first half kept Toronto at bay, then the first plays in the 3rd were run up the middle and then three passes to Moore... much more pocket passing, no outside runs I have to say though Marve looked a lot like Elliott when he was trying to force the long ball late in the game... without Moore, its a game-ending interception that we're all talking about and not MB

Interesting that both Morrissey and Ehlers were talking about dropping weight before TC... maybe Petan can just step in

Wonder why Chevy never re-signed Santorelli... seemed okay to me

Can you do a C&P for the rest of us? 1st half good, second half vanilla, MB needs to get his head out of his ass before they ruin Marve.

Nobody talking about how this really illustrates the rampant abuse of the 1-game IR...

Torrey Davis just released, classic nose tackle, would be a nice addition...

I'd just feel a lot better if we were doing this transition and had a couple more exp FAs (2 year deals) on the roster...

Apparently, Doug Brown had the same thoughts... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Vanilla-playcalling-took-the-flavour-out-of-Mavres-multi-faceted-attack-322063472.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

That lineup still relies on three unproven players stepping up... After KHL, Burmi is definitely 'unproven' once again Right now, our talent drops off after the top two lines to a greater degree than it did last year Let's say Perrault and Wheeler get injured in November... what are the options?

Don't over-estimate a full season of Stafford and Myers... No reason to think Ladd won't get hurt again this year, its just the style he plays - its caught up to him. No leadership for Scheif? What real playoff experience does any of this team have...? Not much. Improve the bottom six? Chevy let three free agents walk before we have proven replacements I have high hopes but this feels a lot like the bombers for the last few years... just have too many question marks up and down the lineup - everything after our top line has some element of hoping a player is NHL ready and grabs a spot... could happen but its a big gamble.

Agree with this... his last few plays you could see that nerves got the best of him. After bye week and some real first team practice, hopefully this changes. Still driving me nuts that we have Marshall and Scott and the ratio flexibility to use both of them and still don't... no ones going to tell me that Pontbriand is a better blocker than Scott.

Handing off to Marshall from the shotgun got 2-3 yards for most of that game... Marie just screwed up on that last read, young QB... Not sure why MB didn't field both Scott and Marshall on that last play though

Re-watched the offence... MB calls a great game in the first half, like seriously awesome... then retreats to run up the middle/slants to moore for the 3rd, recovers a bit in the fourth but its too late. In the last two series, Marshall slips open for the dump pass but Marve is looking for the long bomb - OShea needed to call a timeout or something to calm him down. Not sure if Marve was freewheeling by that point, but Osh and MB look kind of irritated. Whole OL had good and bad moments... I'd say that Sukh Chungh has gotten an unfair pass this year - he's not that great. Now I wonder if Picard is helping him out a bit too much during the games...? When MB gets conservative after half time, this allows teams to start sending everyone... and this throws his QB off his game. Happens game after game, year after year...

Stamps beat reporter says Bombers and Riders both connected to Simmons. Lots of calls all season

There is no story here.

Please not Cronk and Pontbriand on the field together... Maybe Marshall and Scott so we at least have a dump pass threat I'm not promoting screen and only screen... its been years now of waiting for Barresi then Lapo and now MB to run the ball outside on a fairly consistent basis - Crowton did it a bit but the talent was just not there I do feel bad for both Bellefuile and Crowton because Grigsby never really 'got' the rub block and used to just let his man speed past him - MB called way more of 'his style' of game then but Grigsby either didn't block or didn't catch With Marve moving the pocket now - whether MB wants him to or not... - there will be a lot more opportunities for successful screens, shovel passes or pitches... MB needs to get aggressive, he can be a good OC when he's not scared.

a. block the inside guys so that the rush has to come form the outside b. roll the pocket left or right c. hit the hot pass routes d. draw play up the middle e. buy the QB a condolence card after apologizing profusely f. get another QB onto the field after carting the previous one off This is what they are missing so often, and that's not scheme, that's basic. Also when guys get plain beat there's nothing scheme can do. They could run more screens, but our OL can't block anything right now. Our RB's lead the league in yards after contact for a reason, and they don't even have a lot of yards. Pretty much all of them are after contact, it's truly pathetic. Walters needs to make a move on this bye to get a couple OL in, probably imports. I agree with most of this but you can't ignore the fact that MB empties the backfield a lot. Add to this fact that other teams realize that bombers don't run screens very often and that's a perfect storm. A new OL probably won't change that... Again, that being said, I'd bring in an import Centre and put Picard on notice. And another import LB for PR. Pick up one of the vet DL that are sitting at home too.

The worst part was how bad TSN wanted to make this video go 'viral'...
