Booch got a reaction from johnzo in Game day thread: Winnipeg at snowy Calgary
On defense you just have to be more sure of self and not get caught biting on any moves...play off a bit more...The offensive guy knows where he is headed, so on defense you need to stay in control and you won't see many big hits...this is in extreme crap conditions by the way. In the trenches a lot of times you don't even notice it in the snow...u just are more wet.
Ice fields tho..basically it's just do what you can, and hope for the best.
Played with a lot of guys who had never seen snow...let alone played in it, and most enjoyed it...the only giys who really struggled or complained were the back-ups and specialty guys who were just standing around for the most part...when you are playing you dont really notice it until it's a windy sub -15-20 degree game...then it hurts like a mofo

Yeah I have...tho thankfully this isn't astro turf as that stuff froze basically up as a sheet of hard pack, or ice...so cleats were basically useless. This field turf now is like real grass...probably better because it wont freeze rock hard like grass, so your usual cleat should be just fine.
Back in the astro turf days broomball shoes...especially for line man was a preferred choice..or those old style astro turf rubber bottom cleats which had the whole bottom covered in small black nub like cleats...if you can recal those

doesn't matter...total cups are total cups regardless...10 as opposed to 4 seems more successful as a franchise to me

Booch got a reaction from SPuDS in Lions @ Bombers Depth Charts
Looking like it...I hope that was a smokescreen and they still aren't somewhat nicked...and it compounds tomorrow and they are lost for the play-offs

Booch got a reaction from shadybob in Lions @ Bombers Depth Charts
it's been ugly lately with him in actually...more so related to Lapo's odd game plans lately I think...and basically ignoring 3/4's of the offensive weapons and playbook

Booch got a reaction from SPuDS in Fire Richie Hall !!!! DISGRACE COACH
yeah at minimum it will be 22 wins the past two seasons...can't say we fluked that out or were lucky over the course of 2 seasons...football doesn't work that way and usually everything evens out over a course of a year.
I'd allow the team to switch philosophies somewhat and some key personnel and see if they can turn this into a dominant defense with the coordinator returning...that being said it should be a 5 game leash and if more of the same continues you cut ties and have ample time to reload with a new philosophy during the season...for most part the teams are all running the same basic packages and looks...it's more the coordinators mentality and the players following suit which makes a defense dominate...or be passive

Booch got a reaction from SPuDS in Bombers Add 3 To PR
NAH...I would say wide side WR then Defensive end and or defensive Tackle be the easiest to step right in at. Running back not so much..especially with the extra guy coming on a rush to deal with and benchmarks on the field to orientate yourself....if you've never played both games you would be shocked how a player uses has-marks...sidelines etc to do things and effect how they react and a lot of times it's done without thinking, just body/mind conditioning.
Puttting a really green RB in there is a good way to get your QB killed

Booch got a reaction from Mark F in Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Lost in all this is that it pretty sad that at this point in the season Jones and the Riders have no better option than putting him in the defensive backfield.
Quite the slap in the face to guys there already all year getting bypassed and sure must ads to the lack of chemistry and cohesion there.
Sure he's a decent receiver.. But he's no legit 2 athlete guy like Bo Jackson..Deion Sanders..Brian Jordan..hell even Gerry James.
I don't wish ill will on anybody but I actually hope he gets hurt out there on defence..leaving them without him or Roosevelt on offence for final push...and if they field Roosevelt again that organization is pathetic..he should be down for season and playoffs now

Booch got a reaction from bearpants in Adams gone for rest of regular season
Well we have 3 games now to integrate and go with the unknown's in Given's, White and Brown...no need to hamstring the offence with the Coates'.. and Lankfords who scare nobody and open up nothing for others on offence.
Veteran NFL guys with significant reps can surely be coached up to be useful in our offence by now and have a lot more to offer than what others have...both are Givens and White are lightning quick and can bust things open in an instant...not too sure about Brown and could catch teams off guard with no film on them and what they can be successful at moving forward.
If we have a Healthy Dressler , Denmark and JFG in their usual spots, we gotta at least try a game or two with Givens and either White or Brown filling in for Adams and Flanders and have Coates and Washington as the subs...at the very least it would eliminate teams focusing on Harris and taking him out of the gameplan
