sportmentary2012 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I think Andrew Harris is a true team player and one of the most intense players I've seen play the game and I think the Bombers should have given him a chance to hit the 1000 yard mark. I don't think he will sulk over it but it must leave him questioning what is going on when they put Dressler back into the game to hit the 1,000 yard receiving mark. I was going to let this go but I want others to chime in on whether or not O'Shea made a mistake. If he was concerned about players health going into the playoff game. he should have treated Harris and Dressler equally. I think Harris can have a greater impact on the team over the next few years than Dressler. he is a ratio breaker, threat in and out of the backfield and wants to win. I am not saying Dressler is not a good player but he is not a ratio breaker and seems to be injury prone with his best years perhaps behind him. Thoughts??

wbbfan Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Its not a snub, late in the game he had been nicked up and was protected. It was the wise thing to do. He was under used through most of the game though. As was the case for most of the season. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I missed them and it may not matter to you but it was on my mind. I hope Harris feels the same way you do. it didn't look like it on Friday night.

BomberBall Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Not to mention, it's a lot easier to get a receiver 5 yards, than a running back 26 yards. I may be a bit off on the yardage they needed, but the point remains the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 I did find it funny that Harris would be protected from injury, but Dressler would go back in after smacking his head hard on the turf. No matter though... health is more important than stats at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Ask Harris on November 27th, when he's holding the Grey Cup over his head if he cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Bottom line is: Dressler is way more expendable than Harris. I totally agree with O'shea on this. It shows he's maturing as a coach. This game is about winning and staying healthy for the playoffs....not personal glory. And if Harris is a team player he'll agree. kelownabomberfan and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Never mind that Harris is probably our best and most important player. Dressler is great...our best receiver.....but Harris is altogether different. Along with Medlock, by far our most important player...

And if Harris is a team player he'll agree. and if the Bombers owed him a bonus for going over 1,000 yards I hope they just pay it anyway, as even a blind man could see that Harris would have easily earned that bonus if kept in the game.

Adams and denmark have been hotter for portions of the year, while dressler is more consistent. Imop dressler is still our no1 wr this year and next baring a crazy move.
