bustamente Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Most news worthy thing he did wasn't on the field, can't say I'm surprised, the contract he got deserved more production doesn't matter the offence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Thought Matthews was improving, big guy like that needs to have the ball thrown to him more often. Mark F and deepsixemtoboyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Zanetti Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just now, Colin Unger said: He wasn’t making the kind of catches he was being paid to make. Darvin was practicing last week. Agreed. He didn't look like the same guy from years past. One play in particular from last game stands out. It was a 25+ yard pass over the middle, good throw, and he had inside position on the DB but failed to highpoint the ball and it allowed the DB to make a play for an incompletion. A 6'5 "star" receiver making what he does needs to make that play all day. Noeller and Blue-urns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. After that drop in Edm, something just wasnt right. The HB didnt make that play, Matthews flat out dropped it. The same way he dropped the pass on the sidelines at home. He caught some, but dropped the important ones. Not completely surprised by the move, but the timing isnt great....especially because he can just go sign anywhere now.......... Also what's the chances this is a cap move? Zylstra still in the good books in MN? deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincanuck12 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I don't like this at all. The bombers passing game even with Nichols has been friggen pathetic. We had two awesome receivers in Adams and Matthews. Maybe design an offence that targets both of these receivers effectively and hey maybe the passing numbers might get better. I remember in training camp Nichols was raving about Matthews and Adams. I agree with Doug Brown, this will come back to bite us.

Geebrr Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Definitely a cap move.Vet deadline is upon us. Not holding my breath for Zylstra hechas picked it up in camp is a PR guy down south at minimum. Neg listers seem far more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKAChip Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 We also can’t deny that Winnipeg is where receivers go to die. Bowman was his own fault but Gurley and Matthews were major busts and only Adams has ever put up good numbers in this offence. bearpants, Mike, TBURGESS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I mentioned it in the thread about the bar fight and everyone laughed and shot me down. The release has a lot to do with the fight and there was a lot more that happend that night that was ever revealed. We may find out now what happend but probably not. This along with the injuries and poor play was his demise. Unfortunate. Brandon and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think the former Bomber at my gym ranting about the Bomber receivers not being able to get open may have been referring primarily to Matthews. 6 minutes ago, Booch said: I bet he ends up in Montreal or Ottawa..and lights it up Agree on Montreal or Ottawa. Disagree on lighting it up. His 12 reception, 180 yard season can't entirely be blamed on LaPo or Nichols. If he were consistently beating his man, and not dropping passes his production would have been higher. And, let's say he does better elsewhere. Okay. Realistically he averaged 2 receptions per game for us. That can be easily replaced. Blue-urns, Geebrr and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunate. after that run by Big Chris to the Edmonton 3 yard line Matthews came running over and offered Strevs a high five and a hand up, and Big Chris just shrugged him off and kind of ghosted him. I thought "That was odd" at the time and re-watched it several times. Big Chris is usually the first to give a team-mate a high five/congrats, so it was out of character for him to shun Matthews like that, especially after a big run. Something wasn't right.
