easily the best move the WFC has made modern Bomber history

fair... I thought Walker being in his third year had enough time... but anyways, I was just using a quick example to mirror what Edm is doing... you are right that Jeffcoat would probably be the ideal candidate,

no, the penalty against Bighill last week may have ben one of the worst of all time... luckily it had zero impact on the game

you might even say they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked?

the lack of DL rotation makes me nervous... not just for in-game replacement... but for wearing out Jeffcoat (and Willie, for that matter) in the early-mid season... I'd rather Jeffcoat take lots of snaps off now and be ready to go 100% in November... As for the NA rule... let me see if I have this correct... from Edmonton's perspective (because they are actually using it)... Ealy will "start" the game (i.e. play one snap) then sub out for Ceresna... then throughout the game, the can run Ceresna and Ealy for 23 snaps, as Ceresna would technically be subbing in for Canadian starter Nelson at that point... seems like something we should be using... Flipping that over to us... we could list Walker as the NA... "start" Fox... then play 23 snaps with both of them as Walker would be subbing for Thomas...

it certainly doesn't help their chances... probably make the Bombers a slight favourite now...

which actually kind of makes it funnier... it's probably a fairly innocent ritual, end each practice with a victory formation because the goal is to end each game that way... but word of it spreads and it starts to sounds like in their minds, they've already secured victory... Bombers start to hear about it... it adds motivation... and next thing you know, a storm's a brewin...

well that's the rumour that was floating around... not sure if it was ever confirmed

Dammit I need to get a lot of work done today... but now I'm tempted to do something else

Been quite the change in Hammy since the 2019 season and taking "victory formation" reps in grey cup practice week... and I'm all for it!

sorry, my bad... got my news mixed up and thought you were talking about Streveller... I realize you were talking about Wade, which I agree with

28 year old QBs usually aren't given a lot of time to grow... if that's the plan, a team will always choose a 21 year old rookie... that's the politics of the NFL

This game confirms what all Bomber fans already know... Sask beat Ottawa... Ottawa beat Winnipeg... therefore Sask = contender and the only smart thing for them to do it sign O'Day and Dickensen to long term extensions... Get it done Sask!

I disagree… reactions ranged from “desperation move for a washed up player” to “we didn’t give up much so it can’t hurt”… I’d have to check the thread but I don’t really recall anyone being too optimistic about it

Collaros is going to retire as one of the all time best bomber QBs… he’s gotta crack at least the top five on this list

Houston has been amazing this year… Nichols is probably still the top dog in our secondary but Houston isn’t far behind. I think we all agree 7 linemen would be ideal but you know it can’t be done without those three you mentioned… best case with our current roster is Jeff-Lawson-Walker-Jeff with Thomas/Bennett, Hansen, and Haba/Fox rotating in

I think this is technically a 10-way tie… Zach + 7 o-linemen + Lawler + Schoen 😁

Miller would be huge but don’t forget about Gauthier… he’s a major player on teams too

I didn't see what Jpan saw... but if true, there's no way it was over something this meaningless... Zach only goes off for something really egregious... maybe some trash talk said to him or cheap shots to him or a teammate... last time I can recall Zach saying something publicly about an opponent is when he called out ****** Williams after the 2021 West final

It's like last year's Grey Cup... there wasn't one specific thing that caused the loss... but a list of things where if you change one of them, we probably win

Another thing... their RT was moving before the snap, never called (maybe once)... multiple times... every time he lined up against Willie he would jump early to try and get the edge... you even see it twice if you watch the game recap on cfl.ca

unfortunately we only served up a 6 pack... so they'll have to share I was just thinking about this too... what is Darby brining to the roster right now?... If Krahmdi is starting, why not dress Parker who brings much more to the return game and positional versatility in the secondary?

I think what broke us in the first match up was the last 3 mins of the first half.... score was 10-3 and Bombers drive the field only to stall out on the 5(ish) yard line and come away with only a FG and a min left on the clock.... BC gets the ball back and easily drives the field for a TD... half time score is 17-6 instead of 10-10...

Was just thinking DL is where the extra DA should reside... we should be ok in the defensive back field in case of injury... Darby can play multiple positions or BA can move around and Hallet can fill in at safety... this D needs a heavy DL rotation to be effective.

I'm not one to complain about the roster decisions as much as others... I trust out coaching staff since they have about 20,000x time more football knowledge then I'll ever have in my life time... but to use a DA spot on a backup fullback instead of an extra DL or DB (especially one who can return punts) is an incredibly baffling decision...
