August 5, 20223 yr 1 Brady train 127 yards on 18 touches and a td 2 woli and schoen soo many big catches 3 grant huge td return plus a few solid returns and a couple really good run/screens plus 3 tackles hh the biggie pick honorable mention to legs who had a tremendous game punting and in kick offs houston and walker had great games too.
August 5, 20223 yr Brady (35 touches for 253 yards last two games, over 2000 yard pace over a full season at that level of production) Wolitarsky Jeffcoat Liegghio dominant punting...hopefully can do that when it gets chilly
August 5, 20223 yr 1. Brady O - gutsy, bashing effort 2. Woli - every once in a while... 3. Rose - good game all around, with a chance to feast at the end HH: Jake Thomas had himself a game tonight #granted
August 5, 20223 yr 1.ZC8...hopefully not too banged up. 2. Woli....clutch grabs ,and run blocking. 3. Jeffcoat,came back with a vengeance. HH. Legs ,despite all the naysayers ,a clutch kicker.
August 5, 20223 yr HH to the horn guy for keeping Smith and Ford awake in the booth after the Bombers ran away with it.

I dunno my man, methinks Forde may have been horizontal for about a good 15 minutes in the 4th quarter there. 😂 Either that or he was in line buying a helmet poutine... Jk Duane we love you!
August 5, 20223 yr 1) Linebackers and Defensive Secondary - Rose and Rutledge had themselves a game tonight, and everyone else did just enough to thwart the Alouettes game plan, which was run, run, run (as Harris is just not a good enough passer). Houston and Taylor got beat on a couple of plays yes, but honestly, they were right on their man and in great position, and the receivers just made great plays. Nothing wrong with that, and I'll take it 10 times out of 10. Hallett... um... uh... help? 2) Wolitarsky and Bailey - again some very timely catches that bailed out the offense time and time again. The OL was having a hard time tonight (probably due to the heat), which was messing up our route timing and often giving Zach little to work with what with all of the blitzing. 3) Oliveira - gotta hand it to him, he was great tonight. Still is running up the gut most plays, however he's learning about that slight hesitation that is required for the blocks to set up before making his burst, which is helping. I also saw a couple of plays where the block wasn't there and he went off tackle for more yards - more of that please! Just needs to work in some elusiveness (*cough*spins*cough*) and he could be great! If he can do this again next game I'm willing to say he may have turned the corner! HH - Grant - Amazing punt return, and had some flashes on the offence, however it's clear that he needs a ton of practice if they're going to use him regularly as a back or receiver, as some of those routes were just, yikes. Blocking is also a little bit suspect at the moment. He is a gifted man though and those things are teachable, so I'm not going to hold it against him. I don't know if anyone else caught it but on one of his sweeps Jones tackled him by the hair and ripped out one of his dreads. That must have really f'n hurt. Honorable mentions: Liegghio had another great night - keep it up! Collaros had an off night by his standards, but it was more the OL that was struggling, so I don't blame him - wouldn't have won the game without him willing us to win. Again.

August 5, 20223 yr Grant had a huge impact on the game. They couldn't stop those sweeps at all. Surprised we didn't keep feeding them more and more with it. He can be a weapon.

August 5, 20223 yr Just now, Mark F said: crunch of the game..... Ricky Walker on Harris. ouch. Hansen had a chance to really lay out Philpot on one of his runs but he let up at the last moment - I was so disappointed. Fine, be responsible and wrap up! 😒
August 5, 20223 yr 1. Rose 2. Grant 3. Woli HH To Danny Maciocia for calling a 35 yard fade on 3rd and 2 Edited August 5, 20223 yr by Spud Grant

August 5, 20223 yr 1. Dalton Schoen. Picks up the slack for the absence of Ellingson. They can talk all they want about Gino Lewis but he's the best receiver in the CFL right now. 2. Brady Oliveira. some timely runs when we needed them. He's starting to round into form. In another 5-6 weeks, the weather will start to get cooler & we'll need our run game to be strong. 3. Winston Rose. Best game so far this season. Now he looks like the player we all remember. HH. Janarion Grant & Nick Hallett (tie). Grant is so dangerous on kick returns as the Als found out. Was it 31 yards he picked up on that screen pass where he blew thru the Als defense late in the 4th qtr? Like the Als defenders were standing still. I never heard Nick Hallet's name much tonight which means he was doing something right as a safety. He doessn't look out of place back there. I thought he deserved a mention.

Jk Duane we love you! I spoke to Smith and Forde after the game and they were soaked in their suits. The temp was in the high 20s but the humidity was through the roof. Forde said it was stifling in the booth.
August 5, 20223 yr 1. Olivera The more direct and physical approach has elevated his game. Great production, using his blockers and barging through holes. Gives the O, the needed balance out there 2. Wolitarsky Has come up with some key catches the last number of weeks. 3. Rose Was dumping on him a bit earlier......but positioning wise, looked a lot like the ole Rose. Honk. Rutledge This dude has great range and looks like a vet out there. Good find. Honk Houston Getting tested big time and passing most of them Honk Grant. His punt return TD broke the Als backs. Interesting to see if we can refine him on O
August 5, 20223 yr 1. Oliveira. He is starting to ressemble Andrew Harris more than Bloi-Dei Dorzon. 2. Rose. Arguably his best game in three years. 3. Liegghio. Having a surprisingly amazing year. HH - clutch penalties by the Als I have a lot of crow to eat tonight…
August 5, 20223 yr 1)Woli....best game as a Bomber? Close to it for sure. 2) Brady....keeps improving!! Let's keep giving him the bal!! 3) Legs...unreal punts! Just absolutely perfect! HH - Rose....it was still a solid effort and he made the plays when he had to. He continues to get picked on by qbs but hasn't been a huge liability out there.
August 5, 20223 yr Brady O.........really finding his game...... Woli/Bailey/and Schoen.......what a solid receiving corps we've built Rose and Leggs.........great game especially Winston
August 5, 20223 yr 1. Brady O: Great job pounding the rock and catching too. Would have liked to see more touches for him in the first half when ZC was struggling. 2. Grant: Parting of the sea on his punt return tuddy and a couple nice plays on offence too. 3. Leggs: Aside from Parades, has there been a better kicker (especially given Leggs does all three jobs) than Leggs this year? HH. Brandon Zylst...ahem...Dalton Schoen. Just an absolute gem found by Danny Mac at KC Chiefs training camp last year.
August 5, 20223 yr Woli - His best game of the season by far Schoen - Still on ROY pace Rose - They tried to pick on him and he was more than up for the challenge HH: Grant - The return for the TD sealed the game for us
August 5, 20223 yr For argument: Was it Woogie's best game of the year, or just the game he was targeted the most, and therefore ended up with more noticeable plays/stats? I feel like, game in and game out, he's very consistent, but is used so often as a decoy and a blocker. Tonight his number was called more often and he rewarded Buck/ZC8 for it. Also, I don't like this idea that it's a surprise Leggs is having a great year. He was an inconsistent rookie last year, sure, but he kicked like 93% in college and holds CIS records. I'm not the least bit surprised he's back to normal....
