I did learn that Khalil Bass is probably not solely to blame for the big plays and lack of runstopping in Richie Hall's D...  and maybe even that teams can identify and pick up Hall's blitz packages rather easily...

temple and kyle knox each put up 1 tackle and combined to get 1 great qb hurry early. santos-knox had a few really good plays though. 

Only the stuff against Bridge counts...  Bennett sucks and I think that's when Santos-Knox was playing

Edit:  Thats another thing we learned - Danny Mac still has not successfully scouted a QB

bridge played first series in the 4th qt and the bulk of santos knox plays were 2nd and 3rd. Its pre season, and first week of it at that. It all counts you can lose your job in the 4th qt of a pre season game. Its preseason, it is what it is. But its worth more then TC. especially the current state of TC rules.

Highlights:

http://globalnews.ca/video/3518495/highlights-exhibition-blue-bombers-vs-roughriders/

LeFevour always looks so awkward back there, but he makes plays.

Nichols looked pretty blah for the most part. Davis wanted to run around more than pass by looks of it, he was basically just holding onto the ball too long. Rookie confidence thing I figure. Davis is athletic and didn't look too bad, didn't do a lot but never hurt you. Lefevour by far looked the best of the Bomber qb's. He was calm and steady. I've bashed Lefevour a lot, but he played pretty good, definitely looked like the solid number 2 qb on your team.

Flanders looked good. Langford drops the ball right in his hands. I don't know about that guy, he makes plays and then just shuts his brain off at times too. On another rider punt he took it to the house, it was called back on a offside against the bombers.

Hobson put a video up of his "fumble" the riders were like 1-2 yards off him. Fumble was 100% not on him. (credit to throw long bannatyne for the video) Like his talent, if he is hungry and motivated like denmark was last year he could be a keeper. 

How excited are you guys about bridge right now? Sounded like he did every thing you could ask and for a good part of the game too. 

 

Seems like there are way 2 many negative based comments towards the bombers here. Odd coonsidering it wasnt on tv and was game 1. 

How can you have highlights in a pre-season game? Well, any good play is a highlight, I would suppose. Piece by piece, I guess we'll get some good info.

-That Menard-Briere tackle to save a TD was monstrous. Here's a young guy from the CIS, be damned if that Rider was going to score on him, the last man back..?‍?

-The Bombers ran a few candidates through the linebacker spots, including Knox, Temple, Kyrie Wilson and Julian Santos-Knox. Nobody popped off the page, although Santos-Knox did recover a fumble and lead all linebackers with three tackles. -Ed Tait

-the Bombers used a number of imports all night up front and making arguably the biggest impressions were Cory ‘Poop’ Johnson and Padric Scott, both of whom pushed their way into the backfield on occasion -Ed Tait

-I guess it's safe to assume that the QB angst we've experienced over the years has reached an all time low. We'll be solid at that position..?‍?

-Langford? For real? ?‍?

-not-so-Goodman? No highlights of that ejection...We'll see by MOS's actions about his future as a Bomber.?‍?

-Roberson giving Flanders a run for his money?

-Young Yachison having a presence..?‍?

-a lot of players listed as having played defence..I would expect cuts before the mandatory cut-down date of June 17...?‍?

-thanks to all who posted highlights. They were tantalizing, in the sense that we got to see those fantastic unis being used in a live game..

-I suppose you could call it a fitting end to a pre-season game - a tie..

We'll beat them when it counts.

Beats the piss out of TSN's garbage highlights package. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone else getting the vibe that Vince Young being out is just a ruse so the Bombers don't have any film on him for the season opener on Canada Day?

Not at all.  Hamstring injury was pretty predictable...

Why would they play their worst QB?

I'm just saying it's happened before where a new QB looks superhuman against a few teams because there's no film for the D to study. I guess the general consensus is that Bridge was going to start anyways.

Not a ruse but an excuse.

An excuse by the team; so that when they cut his sorry ass, they (and he) can claim his release is injury related and not due to poor play.

Forget the name Vince Young. This would be like the bombers starting Apodaca week 1. 

Another weird one is the Lankford return penalty...  not a great angle but no one jumps... only thing I can think of is someone lined up offside, but it must have just been a hand into the one yard zone

So what you are possibly believing is that the Rider's have a qb (Vince Young), who by all reports has struggled in training camp and has zero CFL game experience, and they are going to pass on an opportunity to evaluate him and have him gain CFL game experience...they will then start another qb (presumably Glenn) in their season opener "so the Bombers don't have any film on him" and then trot him out on Canada Day like he is some sort of secret weapon?

Normally I would say, lol, fan forums!...but Chris Jones is running their show so I find this perfectly logical.

 but....you just don't understand....Jones is operating on a level so much above MOS and the other coaches in the league that they just can not comprehend the brilliance of the man.  He is so smart it's scary.

Except Young has looked mostly terrible all TC before getting injured. No way Jones is dumb enough to think not playing him in a pre-season game is in some way advantageous to the first regular season tilt.

I disagree, its Chris Jones. The man who brought you Jordan Reaves from WR to DE, and Kevin Francis from WR to S -LB. You can't limit how crazy he is.

Going purely off of memory here - my recollection is that Briere had the fastest 40 time at his regional combine and finished in the top 3 of all those measurable tests except the bench.  It was him vs Carter for most of those drills at the Montreal combine.
