If Dressler can hold, he should do it. I disagree, there's gotta someone else who can do it and not be a waste of a roster spot. Most QB's can do it. or another sure handed wr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say, if Jeffcoat keeps it up, Ogopogo's days are numbered. Which is a shame because that'd be an awesome nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dress a player strictly for holding duties, though? That doesn't seem prudent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddanger Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 No sense using a roster spot strictly for a holder. And what happens if there's a breakdown and a legit blocking attempt on the field goal and we injure Dressler even worse?? He's on the 1 game IR, and we dress Flanders. Nicholls or someone else can hold. #freeflanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Dresslers sits this week and was apparently placed on the 6-game... Flanders is in, so that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 O'Shea was saying it's day to day and he doesn't need to practice to start, so saying it's just a precaution to put him on the 6 game instead of the 1 game should be taken with a grain or two of salt.

I'm pretty sure before game 1, O'Shea said Bruce Johnson might be ready to play. And here we are six weeks later. At this point I don't think we can read anything into any "injury report" coming out of the Bombers. TBURGESS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, put Harris in the Dressler role and Flanders as the RB. That package would be deadly. Fatty Liver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlue Posted August 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I wonder if we had put Dressler on the six earlier whether we would have had the cap room to go after McDuffie .... MOS sang his high praises on 1290 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I didn't see any Bomber get really wacked tonight in Ottawa .... any body notice any of the Blue getting nicked up tonight?
