He was trucking people and piles. The most physical running since guys like josh ranek and mike sellers played in the cfl. and yeah Carey is the best back right now. When healthy stanback is the best runner but Carey is more well rounded. Can’t miss picking between those two. I liked how philpot looked too. Fast and smooth. But the tsn haters were too busy sharpening their spears and pinning to write an obituary for the bombers to notice any thing else.

BLM is a HOFer but I don’t like him. On the field anyway. I think he is good on the panel. Yup the Nichols turn around of 2016. The Bombers rolled into McMahon on a 7 game heater and everything went wrong until late in the 3rd quarter. Bo Levi started off his infamous quote almost sympathetically as he shrugged, “They’re a team that’s trying to find out who they are..” before smirking into the camera, “We’re going to continue showing them that”. Kalil Bass fumble recovery sparked a furious comeback. Took the lead but the 2016 soft-as-butter defense allowed a walk-off Paredes field goal to preserve Calgary’s superiority. That game definitely cemented my dislike of Bo and D Dickenson. AB BomberFan, Geebrr, Blue and Gold87 and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Smooth and fast" is a good description for Philpott- he seems to read blocking well. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what people don’t get about him is that he isn’t like lucky whitehead running top gear every where. He conserves energy and uses the burst when he needs it. You see it a lot in his route running and when the ball is in the air. He just turns it on and pulls away from guys. They never see it coming. He’s as fast on the last snap as the first snap. The kid has polish like he’s got 20 nfl starts under his belt. Never seen a rookie soo smooth smart and well rounded. Love the conversation with zach on the side line too. You can tell despite his success he’s still focused and humble. Can’t say enough good things about that kid. 3 minutes ago, Tracker said: "Smooth and fast" is a good description for Philpott- he seems to read blocking well.

Lawler may not have been recruited by the Bombers but they did give him 2 years to develop and grow, I think that qualifies in the "it doesn't really matter" category.

kelownabomberfan Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Let's not forget one of the best named Bomber receivers in their storied history - Craphonso Thorpe... Quote Craphonso's first name is derived from his father's two given names, Craig and Alphonso, and is pronounced roughly "Crah-fonzo". Good thing that he wasn't named after his uncle, whose first two names were "Fuller Jack". Edited August 1, 2022 by kelownabomberfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 And, to the point of my original question, Arland Bruce, Geroy Simon and even Albert Johnson were INCREDIBLE talents....NFL-calibre talents.....which we've had a very difficult time finding over the last 20 years. I don't know yet if Schoen is comparable to those guys, but he sure seems well on his way. Matthews might be at the same level as those others I mentioned, but Denmark and Romby Bryant aren't, IMO.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
