- The 19 total kick return TDs are the most since 2010 (19) and are on pace for 30 which would break the record of 22 in 2004.

- The average punt return at 11.1 yards in 2019 is 2nd-highest in CFL history - the record is 11.3 yards set in 2016.

Did you know..

The Alouettes are last in pass attempts outside the left hash (88). And have thrown more of their passes outside the right hash (123)? - Nic Kowalski

And would the Bombers try this?

“Could the #Bombers line up Winston Rose and Marcus Sayles on the right and Marcus Rios and Chandler Fenner on the left rather than boundary and field sides? Unlikely, but something to ponder.” - Nic Kowalski

It really isn't a big enough of a difference to start changing the chemistry of the secondary.

-Last week two more clubs (CGY, SSK) trailed in the 4th Quarter and built drives that brought the winning points. That makes 17 times in 53 games (32%) that has occurred in 2019 compared to just 21 all last year. Cody Fajardo leads all QBs having directed 3 of them and 5 other QBs with 2 each.

-The two teams with the most explosive plays in 2019 are #1 in their Division - #1. HAM 40, #2. WPG 34.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that really before,” Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea was saying this week.

What he’s never seen before is two members of the same special teams unit tied for the CFL lead in tackles.

It’s happening right now, with Bombers teammates Mike Miller and Kerfalla Exume tied atop the list with 18 special teams takedowns apiece.

Miller recently passed O’Shea on the all-time list and now sits third with 178 special teams tackles, six back of Bombers president and CEO Wade Miller (no relation). He needs 12 more tackles to tie the all-time record, held by former B.C. Lion Jason Aragki.  Ted Wyman, Wpg. Sun

Last week, Winnipeg became the first team in our 'Possession/Drive Chart Data Era' to score a TD on their first 4 drives (2005-2019).

*The total margin of Winnipeg's 4 losses is just 12 points with defeats by 8, 1, 2 & 1 points in 2019.

 

Those 3 really close loses burn. 

We are 3-3 against the east. When was the last time the first seed in the west was .500 against the east.

Yes, they burn.

Just be grateful neither of those losses to Toronto or Montreal were the Grey Cup game. If it's going to happen it's way better to happen now.

#Bombers DC Richie Hall isn't at practice today. The team says he's away to deal with a personal matter. #wfp

Apparently, there was nothing to prevent him from leaving..

(We all hope, it’s nothing serious)

He may have been attending a necktie party.

The Bombers have signed LB/DB Sam Williams to the active roster but future??

2019-10-02    WPG    WILLIAMS, Sam    LB    A    East Texas Baptist University    Add To    Active Roster (Future)

Hmmm...the only Sam Williams (linebacker) was born in 1980 and retired several years ago. This guy must be a clone.
