The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it

Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner

Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

That pick-six he threw at the 6:30 mark was very Kevin Glenn-like....

He looks like Mike Reilly to me...

to be fair every pick 6 is very kevin glenn like. 

yes that is true.  If being a ******-bag is now going to be called being a "Durant", perhaps the Pick Six should just be called the "Kevin Glenn".

Then what do we call the 105 yard last second touchdown pass?  The Milt??   Poor Glenn never gets the credit he deserves!

we call that pulling a milt. never forget on the previous play edm did the exact same thing, milt was open and kg missed him. how on earth you see that once and call the same defense on the next play I will never know. 

A blink is when the other team plays cover 0, goes full run blitz and you still some how run up the gut and go un touched for a touch down. 

Off sides? thats a willis.

Watching #Bombers QBs Chris Streveler and Alex Ross during Day 1 of rookie camp this afternoon... different skill sets, but both look like capable pros. They’ll battle for No. 2 behind Nichols. I’m lead to believe Winnipeg will not pursue another veteran option. – at Winnipeg Football Club

ohhhh snapple. inb4 durant steals this line. 

He really does personify the bombers post khari era pre mos era. Who is it for the dark ages pre ritchie? kerwin bell or reggie slack?

There are too many options...  I have fonder memories of Reggie Slack than Kerwin Bell.  Kerwin's more identifiable as the Argo's QB who sacked himself in front of Juran Bolden and got a penalty for it

part of my pre season ritual every year is watching that play before the first game and before the first time we play the argos. Kerwin gets in, does a shimmy dance spikes the ball, bounces up and hits him right in the lil bell he gets decked by a bomber and still gets the penalty for taunting. 😝

Oh and I love Dunigans response too, "He just hit himself in the you-know-where". Just priceless!

Kind of grateful if this is the case. A veteran QB at this point would have no upside...a rookie might.

4 qbs in camp is plenty of arms. Its in their hands/arms. If they do well in camp and pre season we dont need to dig up any old guys.

In the video highlights, Steveler looked to have all the skills necessary to fit right into the CFL- quick release, good accuracy, and the smarts to run when he has to. Didn't see too many long bombs, though.

 

downside of Streveler and Ross working out/being good.....we will no longer be able to discuss the Bombers failure to find and or develop quarterbacks.

This would deal a serious blow to the forum!

If Ross did I am sure some would still complain the Bombers still have not found their own guy.

Yeah.. If anyone can come out of college and succeed their first year its Chris Streveler.  The type of offense he was at the helm of looks eerily similar to what most CFL teams run (see video below if you disagree). If he can pick up the nuances (extra player on the field, forward motion)I think he will be fine. He also has nerves of steel and is exceptionally calm and confident in the shotgun. Hopefully, we don't have to find out though because Matt Nichols has been pretty healthy and doesn't take a lot of shots due to the style of offense we run and his ability to get rid of the ball quickly. 

 

We have to sign that #88 receiver - Brandt Van Roekel - He's a big guy - 6.05 200 

The season has begun:

Yipee!!!!

no matter how good they turn out to be, I'm sure TBurg will chime in to tell us that they suck.  So at least we'd still have that....

I don't know anything about either of them, so I won't say they suck unless it turns out that they do.

I'm cheering for Streveler...

But this post is essentially the same 'oh we've finally found our QB of the future haha on everyone else' that we see every single year...

And then they get cut or leave

where does my post say we've finally found our qb of the future?

And nothing is more predictable, than the post you made.
