Apologies if this is buried in another thread somewhere, but I thought everyone should check this out. I enjoyed watching this so much. It really felt like I was on the sideline with the team during the game (once you get past the intro/travel). I hope that the Bombers plan on doing this every week, one of the best pieces of football content I've seen in forever!

Also, so happy we have Dressler!!

Loved it. Bombers media dept is doing pretty awesome work the last while.

And I'll never get tired of seeing Jermarcus Hendrick pick up and parade around every touchdown scorer. And also Medlock after his game winner haha.

I think my favourite part was Dressler coaching up young players on the sideline and just how vocal he was I  general. Love that type of personality in the heat of battle. 

Dressler is good at football. I mean, even when he wore Rider green we somehow all still respected him. He must be doing something right.

?‍? What I'm only beginning to realize, after watching him now for a year and a bit, is how good and complete a player Weston Dressler really is..

For the 'W'

yea I was very excited when we signed him in the off-season last year. Hes just so talented and usually very durable for his size.  Watching him light us (and other teams) up for all those years in Saskabush shoulda soured me on him but hes just too good a player to not root for and now seeing the other side of the equation (how good a teammate he is, how well he works on the teams and whatnot)  just solidifies how good of a pickup  he has been..

 

That was a great video.  They did a great job with that.  Dressler is the man.  You can tell someone is a good man when even after they move teams, the other team and even fans go up and hug and high five him.

I loved how he told Washington that a big play was coming his way and just to be ready when it does, then boom, touchdown. 

His support of and belief in his teammates was great, and not just with the O. Seeing Loffler giving him props, or Dressler cheering Legget on after the BS no-fumble call, or even Medlock thanking him for reigning in the snap on a field goal. Just such a solid teammate.

Also, two TDs in 25 seconds, and then he's running back to be the holder for both! Talk about a blue collar kind of guy!

There's a pretty good chance that was family. He is married to a Regina girl and there's bound to be inlaw's and/or cousins and interconnected family.

They are often one and the same...

I enjoyed the talk between the receivers and QB. Just gives you an idea about how much success comes from the friendships.

Now you and my dog are the only ones who get what I am thinking. 

Just curious on those FG kicks Dressler doesn't call for the snap and I don't hear anything from Medlock either.  How does the C. know when to snap the ball?

You don't know how a silent count works? It's practiced religiously and the players count off in their head.

No, I don't know anything about a silent count, never played organized football.  I thought maybe the signal to snap was when Dressler puts up his hand to receive the ball.

Anyone notice one of the guys he goes up to at the end in the stands is Chris Getzlaf?

Awesome piece. I truly want nothing more than to see Dressler's time with the Riders be the early stages of his career and for him to go in the CFHOF as a Bomber. Would love to see him resigned after this season.

Fun fact: that TD vs SSK was the longest play of his career.

They  are all very intense.

These players seem  very down to earth.  I really like their demeanour.

All of that, maybe after another contract if he decides to retire, having Weston as a coach would be amazing. The Conversations between he and Nichols were great, just seems like the most likable guy and I really hope he stays a part of this organization for a long time.

Dressler is too short

Probably won't hack it in the league

Bombers won't win every game this year, but they sure look to be a tight bunch. And Dressler is class all the way. Good to have him on board with us.

We specifically targeted Dressler as a FA....and considering his savvy, production, leadership etc.......he is worth every single cent.

QFT. Weve hit and miss with some FAs, but man did we ever hit with dressler. I wish he had come over sooner.

Yours or mine? Glad you can read intent into my posts asshat. I meant no harm or foul, was just making sure I was understanding what he was asking.
