Real nice to see the big play by Schrott.  About the only highlight for me really.

What do I see from the QB position? Streveler is still only #2. But what a running weapon.

Not a good sign that Kilgore is looking better than our guys early.

ST coverage has been very good.

Receivers- have to make more catches..

Oh, oh..Jones (M)

Nice game Thiadrics!

We have a return game..it looks so different.

Jeffcoat 2 knock downs. Impressive.

McGuire. A bit of a surprise there.

Fenner. Guy can play.

Petermann, you da mann!

Bennett looking like a QB!

I see why they like McAlister.

Nice defensive knockdown Boynton!

Richardson! Sack!

Adios. Need I say more?

Eli banging!

What a massive amount of lineup changes..

Bennett to Dylan Schrot. Wow. Beauty! What a moment for Schrot.

Highlight of the night!

Can we have Irving do all the TV games? Let that sync in before you answer.

23 penalties in total. Preseason. 8 Wpg.

Decent showing by Bennett and McGuire.

Streveler HAS to be more accurate if he is going to have a career in the league. According to a link posted in this forum recently, accuracy is not really all that teachable- either you have it or you don't.

Who said that? Accuracy can be taught. 

Archetypal pre-season game.  Loved seeing flashes of the potential our fellow MBB members described in camp.  Still stoked on Richardson and McAlister, less so on Whitehead.

Hot damn I almost forgot what it was like to start the weekend with drinks AND a Bombers victory!!

Put Steveler in with a better oline and he has more time... Fact is.. Nichols if he played tonight... Out 8 weeks. 

Thought the oline was better in the 4th quarter than 1st 2nd or 3rd. The QBs had time.. Maybe 4 seconds compared to 2 for Streveler. 

None of the receivers stood out to me.. The returners did.. A few dbs did... Fenner M Jones Boynton Estes Sayles.. A few didnt like Coleman. 

D Jones looked better than Hecht.. 

Simonise on the 3rd team O.. Must be attitude issues there.. Guy has potential to be cut. 

Richardson looks legit...

I agree with you here.  Accuracy can be at the very least be fine-tuned and improved over time. Arm strength is the one that you pretty much got what you got.

You sure love hyperbole.

Hes 3rd team and has been all camp according to Bob. Did u watch the stream? Doug Brown half went off on Simonise. Not sure why... Said he needs to step up or step out pretty much. Maybe Brown is just being an arrogant Prick but still.. Whys he with the 3rd team. 

Hyperbole? Not my fault how ppl read things... Altho hyperbole can pretty much describe 90 percent of the posts on here. 

Hyperbole 90 percent. Arrogance the other 10.

There is that, but I get the distinct impression that Doug Brown doesn't really pay that much attention to preseason goings on either.

Sounds like Doug Brown only pays attention to Doug Brown. Man, talk about a guy who is arrogant and so full of himself. Yeesh. 

Meanwhile.....

As a player he didn't have to worry about it. Old habits die hard. 

How soon does somebody throw dice and make Streveler their starter ?

Yeah, I can't stand that guy.  I talked to him once and I hope I'm never in a position to do so again. He was a great player for the bombers but certainly doesn't deserve a statue.

Dont think anytime soon. Maybe WPG next season.

He was brought in for veteran leadership not flashy stats.

Well it was preseason, it was ugly, but god damn a Bomber win is always a good thing

 

Boring AF 😂😂

You gotta wonder.. Ryan was this huge legged punter.. Big time punts.. His distance got him to the NFL.. Wonder if hes lost that leg stregth a wee bit.

Leadership from the punting position... Interesting. 

The net punting is identical. Looks like Ryan was placing it for coverage.

What I've seen from Whitehead tonight hasn't matched the hype that he supposedly comes with. Nelson still the guy, IMO... once again, experience beats the shiny new toy. 

Whitehead hasn't been here long enough to learn that trying to beat coverage to the corner with speed alone will work once, not every time.

Nelson was here last year, he's got the advantage of knowing that already. 

If Whitehead sticks around long enough, he'll hopefully learn to find seams and then use his speed rather than thinking speed creates seams.

Kid from the Rifles makes the highlight reel twice in limited action. Good for him.

In days of yore when the Bombers had zilch for NI talent, a performance like that would get him a PR gig and a chance at being an injury call-up ala Brett Carter.
