Training Camp is over, the roster has been set, and the biggest Q is who should MOS start at QB.

The Bomber Brass are comparing notes on that and have yet to decide so its not clear cut by any means. The default is Ross by a nose but we could have 3 legit thoroughbreds in our stable all at once.

I personally believe Steveler has the most upside based on pure talent, scrambling pizzazz, and the ability to see the whole field. He is also the most likely to turn the ball over and make gigantically good plays. Ross will protect the ball best and run the short game well.

Ross may have played the most regular season downs but Bennett has the most experience especially in the Bomber system. I can see us saying later in the year "why didn't we start using Bennett earlier?" He is my pick for short yardage QB but I would be happy with Steveler in that role too.  My best guess: Ross starts but Steveler comes in as soon as Ross has two or three bad series in a row.

So, if Dressler is still out, our starting receivers will likely be:

Washington (WR), Adams (SB), Demski(SB), Thompkins(SB), Wolitarsky(WR)

Man, it would be sooooo nice to see Dressler score a TD in front of all those Rider fans on LD.

Yes, six times, at least.

Can Adams take the physicality of the slotback position? That's my concern.

At X

I really think Wolitarsky is being criminally underused .. this guy just screams Jason Clermont to me .. that's a body that could be used in the slot.

I dunno if hes ready for that role yet.  hes still learning the CFL game and his role here.  I think he will continue to develop and will become a very good receiver for us.. but just not quite yet.

It just makes me cringe when a QB throws slightly behind a receiver at this position ....the receiver knows the hit is coming but has to concentrate on catching the ball before protecting themselves...

Nichols has thrown a few murder balls this season.. cant argue that.

Every qb throws those during the season.

Does anybody keep a stat who shows which QB does it the most ?

I've seen a lot of bomber receivers jumping straight up for overthrows getting rocked or turning back to the ball more often then in seasons past.. 

 

Somethings off. Dunno what it is but Nichols isnt his usual self this season.. he rarely hung his guys out last year.

how many times did Cahoon get drilled on a first down conversion on a crossing route from calvillo.   I seem to remember Cahoon catching suicide passes being a big part of that offense

Jeffcoat placed on 6 game.

Maurice Leggett got checked out by doctor today, according to O'Shea. Hope he's okay but that achilles from last season is a hard injury to come back from 100%

Realistically he should just be starting to get back to full activity.  Came back way early.  Injured in October.

Yeah,he would get blown up catching a pass over the middle countless times- that's why they called him Ben "Kaboom" .

Wow, the injury bug is really biting us (better now than October I guess).

Time for the young'ins to step up.
