I don't think even Chris Jones is stupid enough to replace a 6'5 wr that primarily plays the Z position with a 5'7 rb tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booch Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Chris Jones and stupid enough tho does seem to go well with each other don't you think? They are in dire need of DB's, so he brings in an NFL retread who is 33 and hasnt played in 2 years...does that not exude stupid enough??

Felt he showed some good things in the pre-season including the penalty he took on the block coming back to the line. Yeah it's a penalty, but you know a guy who is willing to do that is not going to slack off when he gets a chance. To be honest... I think this play is the reason they kept him over Ruben Randle... I thought they were fairly even in TC and PS... but Thompkins showed hustle and willingness to do everything... not just catch the ball... I'm sure he learned his lesson and understands that's a penalty now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSkunk Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 In the past I never liked when we would hit a bye week, always wanted to keep watching the Bombers play every week. But this year is different to me somehow, the team looks strong and I think is fairly healthy. I'm hoping a break and some rest this coming weekend helps them even more going forward.

We have always seemed to come out a bit flat after bye weeks under this regime. I dont think that will be the case this time with added leadership and the upstanding defensive personnel. Would love to see fenner come back after the bye week. 53 minutes ago, Floyd said: So what would you do with Fenner once he's back? Honest question I hope we keep MO at sam. Move fenner to half. So fenner, and alexander start at half. Randle n fogg at corner. Then Id DI one of cooper and sayles. For my money cooper is more steady and sayles makes more big playes. Id roll with the hot hand and let them fight each week for that DI spot. Id probably lean towards sayles in the spot right now. Another option would be to adjust the ratio to start a nuck else where (wr/dl), put mo back at S (he had a whole bunch of plays where he was the deepest man against toronto with loffler under him) keep feener at sam and play both sayles and cooper as starters. Wouldnt be easy, especially if corney is still out and with how thompkins played. Then loffler would rotate in at Lber. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that he had a rough two weeks and all, but I really think you gotta show a little more patience with a young guy. Not to mention his OL is in some rough shape without Van Zyl and I really think Toronto just needs to add some more weapons to their arsenal.

DD as much, but I dont think any one else even has that. Its gonna be really interesting to see what our old boy MBT does, but to be honest my expectations are low. I feel like he is the tony ortiz, TC/mini camp / pre season guy who flashes all the brilliance but lacks the experience to be able to do it in real fire situations with any consistency. 12 minutes ago, SpeedFlex27 said: Franklin will be back sooner than later.

I want to say harris will be a FA at the end of this year, and collaros could easily be on the trade block. Perhaps the argos go after either of them. I could see them trying for jonathon jennings as well. I think they guy he would want the most and who fits his system the most out side of MR and BLM, is nichols.

We don't even know if Franklin is done in TO yet. Perhaps Trestman just wanted to see if MBT brought anything to the table like the Als were seeing with Adams this last game. My guess is he'll be starting at least one more game in Toronto because as I said, I really think the Argos problem is their OL right now is just about as bad as MTLs and they lack efficient weapons. I just don't see MBT making much difference really, but who knows. Ottawa's defense just might crap the bed this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
