  • It’s pretty incredible that we have three global players on the game day roster (and none of them are kickers). The Bombers scouting and coaching staff are at a different level when it comes to evalua

Looking forward to this game.  Bye weeks suck as a fan.  Looking forward to the Bombers trouncing the Stamps.

Nice to see as well a crowd that will be in excess of at least 28k too

I hope our boys had the sting of that loss nagging at them through the entire bye week, and come out focused and pissed off.

i see that happening yup

Looking forward to finally seeing Rene on the roster...wondering if he will get any defensive snaps....sucks about Ellingson but may as well heal him up...now lets actually throw the ball at Harrison and see what that big body has out there

Awww....crap! But we ought to get him back in plenty of time for the playoff run.

I'm assuming you mean Dave Mudge. And the fact you'd even bring the two up in a kind of comparison is laughable. There isn't a LT in the league who could replace Bryant this year and by mid point there were plenty of media types giving him the Best OL award (for that half of season). Bryant might not be having his best year, but to suggest his job isn't safe might be the most ridiculous thing I've seen you post.

Next year is another story. No one knows what the future holds. But as far as 2022 goes. Bryant will be the Starting LT of the Bombers until injury strikes or he for some reason says he no longer wants to do that.

Mudge was thought of much the same way as Bryant before his departure. 
 Media has named all stars that couldn’t get a job on the pr the following year. It means less than nothing. 
 

He hasn’t been the best lt in the league at any point this year. From game one the left side has been a disaster top to bottom. 
 

T is the hardest spot to change here but heavy doses of change are needed. I can’t say who would kick inside better though Bryant has done that regularly in the past in goal line formations. This ol is not one change away from being good either. 

Very interested in seeing what Harrison can do....could be another great target for Zack

Ai yi yi.... That's a tough pill to swallow re: Ellingson. If the OL can have a better game, hopefully Brady can grab some yards, open up play action a bit and not put a ton of pressure on Schoen and Demski for constant second and long production....

Maier is starting tomorrow 

Interesting. Think I prefer BLM as a Bombers fan, but we'll see what Maier has and what the rest of his offense does to help him out. Sounds like all their questionable guys are back in, including Carey....

Let’s start with him actually getting an offensive snap.  Don’t want Collaros throwing it to him on the sidelines.

They listed McRae as the starting slotback but hopefully they'll mix in Harrison. McRae doesn't bring anything different to the offence from what Demski already does, and ZC could use a big target over the middle.

I'd much rather have BLM lobbing 50/50 balls... Maier is more elusive and did give us issues last year.    

 

Did he though?

High yards and no TDs? Scored 16 points?

Other interesting piece is that 2 imports leave the roster and only 1 import is added.  They added a global in Machino as the 7th OL.  He can sub for anyone.  We have 3 globals on the roster.  Interested to see if Machino gets some action, otherwise might question why they didn't add an import OL or DL instead.

I think Maier is more of a threat to beat us right now. While BLM is still a smart QB the who usually makes the right reads he wont beat you with his arm anymore. Maier can really throw it. Should be a great matchup up tomorrow!

No Mudge was not ever considered the greatest lineman who has ever played in the CFL. He won MOOL 1 time. and then went on to have 1 more all star season. Hell if you're going to compare Bryant to anyone it should be Walby and even Walby has admitted that Bryant is the better of the two. There hasn't ever been a "Dave Mudge is the best OL this league has ever seen" conversation.

And considering the Media plays a role on who gets the awards at the end of the year, you're wrong again.

Who has been better than Bryant? I'll concede this isn't his best year. But acting like he's even remotely replaceable is, again, ridiculous. And yes on Heavy formations the 6th OL plays basically a TE blocking position....which is what happened all throughout Bryants career...

Calgary D line has looked imposing to me.

need to figure out how to keep Collaros upright, and healthy.
