Grigsby doesn't need another week. He's had 5. Not seeing any improvement. He's great in space, but that space won't be there when everybody knows he can't grind out yards or break a tackle, they'll mind contain and let him run east-west all day.
Our offence seems to have drifted more to double tight ends and RB blocking schemes over the first games... we need a Joe Smith for the game MB is calling now.
Maybe Anthony Allen is the answer... 6'1, 220-230...
Suber for Allen?
Sask. wouldn't be interested in Suber, they're looking for LB types I believe. I think they also have the luxury of having 2 Intl. RB's for each game so they probably don't have any incentive to move Allen.

That was pretty classless by Chamblin to throw a challenge up 37-9 late in the 4th quarter.
That was pretty classless by Chamblin to throw a challenge up 37-9 late in the 4th quarter.
And to run a safety blitz as well up by the same score. That was classless. He's an arrogant & cocky coach when he's winning.
Add in throwing deep to the endzone a few times. Totally unnecessary.
On CFL Horsemen, I made the same comment about the safety blitz being classless. Especially the hit the qb took from the backside. Totally unnecessary by Brackenridge to try to break the guy in half. What was the point of blitzing like that?? Just to rub it in the Argos faces to make them look bad. The Rider fan said this isn't croquet, it's football & if the Argos want to gamble on third down they deserve to get the crap beaten out of them. I hate the Riders & their jerk off fanbase so much. Just waiting for the time when it comes that they have a crappy team & we as well as all the teams in the CFL kick the **** out of them.
I agree, their fans were a much friendlier bunch when they were lovable losers.

Oey vey...those who don't get the game they pretend to understand...
Shouldn't have to explain this but here's we go. It's okay to call Glenn a lousy QB for playing a bad game but not Ray? How about considering that each individual player is just one component of a team and not solely responsible for wins or losses? Even if they are the QB they can only perform well if their teammates provide adequate support and in both of these games that was not the case.
You're bang on except for.....
the fact that Ray is missing his top three receivers, and his most potent weapons this past game were a rookie and a receiver who hasn't played football in a year and a half.
Meanwhile Glenn has Harris, Logan, Arceneaux, Gore, and Taylor.
But hey, lets point the finger at Ray in this one. It's not like the tools Glenn has would be of any use to him.
Okay, I guess I do have to explain it.

O'Shea told me that when Watson is ready to return he'll be eased back into the lineup. First playing ST's and then will take some snaps on offense.
O'Shea talks to you? Who are you his wife?

The Argos cut Ronmey Bryant....what does that say?
-
This does pose an interesting question, whats the Bombers record with Kevin Glenn as our starting QB this year?
The winning TD drive in the Montreal game? Safe to say that would've been a loss.
Hey don't look now but the league's best QB is looking like **** in Sask. Ray's a bum!

Poblah either didn't play at all last night or was invisible.
Same with JFG and Kohlert.

Now I don't know which one to stare at.
Jumping Jeehezus, reminds me of the reason I was put on this earth! Notice the two goofs on the right pointing at the wrong bird of paradise...what's a girl got to do to get a guys attention?

I'll give Grigsby credit as he was effective in the first half as an outlet receiver. I think what he lacks is creativity and that may be a result of having been away from the game for a few years or a skill that he just never had. Good backs make things happen, they see space and they find a way to get to it. Saw Grigsby go off in the wrong direction several times when I thought there was open space in other directions. None of the BB RB's have the power to make holes where none exist so it's dumb to keep trying it.
The fact that he was repeatedly caught in the backfield off the hand-off in the second half is a failure of 3 individuals, himself, Willy and Marcel.

Don't care for "told you so" posts but to each his own.
As for Kevin Glenn, I think he has proven time and again that if given the right situation he can be a very productive QB but it is very dependent upon the level of protection he is provided to operate. Last night the BC O-Line was porous so the results were predictable. Glenn is the "anti-Reilly" he's not going to be able to do much on his own but given good protection and good offencive weapons his ability to operate an offence at full throttle far exceeds Reilly's. Much like Calvillo in Mtl. who was just an average QB and wasn't having a H.O.F. career until Popp and Trestman built a team around him and most importantly an O-Line that protected him.
I think if anything the 2014 season has shown that on any given day any QB out there can be reduced to utter ineffectiveness by a great defence. It's already happened to Durant and Ray on multiple occasions and dear Willy himself was rendered impotent against the EE's defence last week so Glenn is no exception.
Did not realize Glenn was so short, at the end of the game when he was shaking hands with Willy it looked like he was a midget reaching up for a lollipop.

Biggest tragedy was cutting Ford without giving him a chance to show his stuff this year especially since he was the incumbent. I'm all for giving the ball to Cotton now as I believe he is the best of the three but you can't convince me that Grigsby was ever better than Ford. Ford was just as ineffective running inside but he was deadly when he got to the outside and he was also a great kick returner. Oh well.

Another video from the Bomber site showing the announcement with family in attendance.

Do we know if Rod Black is doing commentary? Being that it's Geroy Simon night I fear we may see more shots and hear more useless facts about him then we will of the game.
Or we make a drinking game off it and drink every time Rod says Geroy, Simon, superman, #81, the greatest receiver of all time, or any combination.
Good Lord, I hope Geroy doesn't go near the booth or they'll blather on for a quarter and a half!

Okay on second view, picked up Cameron, Kennard, Asper, Joe Mack (of course) Mitch Zalnasky. Who's the dude in the gold suit?

Here's a video from the Bombers website on the announcement:
http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/99503
Nice article on the TSN site regarding the Bombers honouring Cactus Jack Wells and Jack Matheson. Funny I didn't know they had a "Bob Irving Media Centre".
You haven't been paying attention, have you. Here's the video of the announcement of the naming of the Bob Irving Media Centre in May, 2013:
Reyn Davis was an exceptional hockey writer & I think he also covered curling for the Free Press when curling actually was a big deal in Manitoba. CJOB used to broadcast the Men's Final from the Manitoba Consols as they were called back in the 60's, 70's & early 80's. Back then, the hockey & football writers respected the teams they covered in good & bad times & they got the respect back...
It still is.
Thanks, I've never seen that before. Recognized Doug Brown, Tim Burke, Butchko, Brock Bulbuck...any other big names in that video?
-
I think Reilly's real weakness is that he's trying to win games on his own and often tries to make things happen when there's nothing there, forcing the play. In this way he's none too bright and unlikely to reach the level of Ray or Lulay as a premium CFL QB. This would explain his take no prisoners running style and his erratic throws into double coverage, he either puts immense pressure on himself to win games or he's carrying the entire load of the franchise and the fan-base on his shoulders. I see too much Buck in him to think he will ever lead his team to a Grey Cup victory.

"Walters needs to operate in a vacuum and external considerations be damned."
He's plagiarizing his own articles now. He used the exact same sentence with Cheveldayoff's name last month. Word for freaking word.
So how does his average evening go? Does he back away from his laptop after writing this and think "Goshdarn I am so smart!"? "Watch me enlighten the masses!"
Spending 2000 words stating the obvious doesn't make this any less stupid. It sets a new standard for stupid.
Walters should also try and trade some beads and smallpox blankets for prime real estate if the opportunity presents itself. External considerations be damned.
Yer on to him. He's got a boatload of these articles already written, he was just waiting impatiently for the Bombers to turn the corner into familiar territory, which is his comfort zone.

I think Etch has to ease up on the blitzes a bit and cover the flats better against Harris and Logan. Can't send the house as much as they did against EE cause Glenn will be waiting for that and eat their lunch with quick passes. Show the blitz often but mostly drop off to traditional coverage until they don't expect it than charge! Leave Kuale back as he's too slow getting into the backfield anyway. Assign Wild or Sherman to spy Harris or Logan.
This is a good test for O'Shea and his coaching staff, this game will reveal whether they are duds or diamonds. I'm really hoping Marcel has a workable solution to get the offence rolling, if not the party is over and they'll have to pick up the wins they can against Eastern bumbleheads.
-
Can't see getting much for January and if that's the case might as well keep him and upgrade the position when the opportunity presents itself, naturally.

Calgary must have a great OL coach...
I believe Pat Delmonaco is destined to be..... the next......Bob Wylie!
-
I don't think it's Willy not having faith in his line. The difference is Mitchell has had time to go through his reads and progressions, and Willy did not.
He had time but Mitchell has happy feet like Willy now has. Willy has an excuse as the Bomber OL isn't as good as Calgary but Mitchell? He rarely gets sacked or even touched. Tonight he looked like he was having trouble finding open receivers.
Probably because the Esks have very good downfield coverage and this is the reason Willy had so many 2 and outs last week. If there's nobody open it's kind of stupid to throw the ball and hope something good will happen. I think the best strategy in this situation is to follow the Argos with their dink and dunk timing routes. Very hard to defend against that offence once the QB and receivers get their timing down, it may not be pretty but it moves the ball. Marcel needs to adjust his game plan to be able to compete with the Western teams or his *ss will be in the hot seat next off-season.
-
Jones linebackers make some pretty impressive adjustments on the fly.
The only difference that I see is that Mitchell has faith in his OL and Willy didn't.
Can't blame Willy for that. Willy may be the best passer in the West but he's going to have to start moving the pocket around to buy himself time. Time for Marcel to go back to school and come up with some variations to his game plan.

Both Jones and Craighead injured in this game..

Maybe I don't understand the playoff structure but I had an interesting thought.
Would the BB not have a much better chance of appearing in the Grey Cup game if they stumbled into the playoffs through the cross-over route and won the two playoff games against Eastern teams?
