Peggers tend to have a long memory when it comes to that stuff. Sometimes I get a little teary thinking of the day we cheered Kent Austin’s season ending concussion... sniff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Yeah good value for sure considering we payed Nick Moore way more than that and he has never produced like Bowman has. I can take the odd drop here and there if he opens up space for Adams and Harris and chips in with 80+ catches and 1100 to 1200 yards or so and 8 to 10 tds...all numbers I think he will eclipse btw in this offense and with his familiarity with Nichols ..plus you can bet he is gonna play possessed to prove doubters wrong and stick it to the Shmoes Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I like this signing, especially for $140K. Bowman's a proven big, deep threat, receiver who is way better than Denmark who he is replacing. He'll drop a couple a game and we need to feed him the ball a lot, especially right after a drop. Adams, Bowman, Dressler, Young Guy, NI are a pretty good receiving corps. If Nichols finds his deep ball accuracy, we should be able to score from anywhere on the field.

If that's the result regarding Riders driving the price , then they failed I believe he was speaking facetiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue85gold Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Love this signing at that price! With Adams and Dressler, he doesn't need to be the guy, but should compliment them nicely. Needed a big receiver that can go up and get it. In that 3rd American receiver spot Bowman > Denmark > Washington/Lankford/Givens/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To feed Bowman a lot of balls LaPo is going to have to readjust his O scheme and Nichols will have to relax his sphincter muscles and start chucking the ball, accepting that more interceptions will follow.

PLAP loves to feed the ball to one guy for entire games. Sometimes it will be Bowman instead of Adams, Dressler or Harris. I'll take a few more Int's if it results in a few more big plays, deep to Bowman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just continue to feed the ball to Harris and Flanders, drawing coverage up to protect against screens, opening up space deep for Adams and Bowman, with no need to turn into huck-em-high Jennings or adding to the interception total. I'll also continue to let Nichols use his own discretion as to the tightness of his sphincter, as I am not in a position to verify it's tightness or looseness. johnzo and blue_gold_84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do or die Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Bowman will see plenty of high percentage passes.....with plenty of opportunity for YAC. He will be a good fit in the Lapo offense. Stickem and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Quote Also a nice consideration; Bowman was named receipient of the 2017 Tom Pate Memorial Award, for his work with children battling autism. After winning the award, Bowman told me he now feels character is more important that TDs or yards. This fits the O'Shea mould. Maybe another reason he choose our team? Bowman is good if he isnt' going deep while double covered. The short underneath stuff he is deadly. Massive improvement over Denmark. Great signing IMO.

Nickthesizz Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Pretty much expected, Bond is probably asking for a pretty hefty raise this season. It sounds like we'll be starting another cdn on the o-line. Edited February 9, 2018 by Gotmilt Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Bond will be back in the CFL and he may command the highest American OL salary in the league. Any team with a bad OL will be willing to pay out the wazoo for him. I believe he will be playing tackle next year as well... just a feeling.
