I'd also add the Brady is as much of a rec threat as he is a running one. I really hope he's utilized more in the passing game this year.

Well, one of the reason's TC is known for underutilizing the running game is because his RBs always have as many passing yards as they do rushing yards.

That said, I'd argue we're already using Brady too much in that regard. He's great as an outlet when you need it, but I'd rather get the ball in the hands of White, Wilson, and Demski if we're putting the ball in the air. Brady should not be anywhere near our #2 receiver by design.

I think it's probably safe to say at this point Eli will never start except in emergencies... He's 30 years old and never been more than a 6th OL.... If he didn't win the job out of camp when it was open then he's never going to.

honestly... if Collaros/Brady play like Nichols/Harris circa 18/19... that wouldn't be the worst thing for this offense... as long as we can still occasionally stretch the field..

I'll be at the game tomorrow somewhere behind the Bombers bench... and after last year fellas.... The **** that I saw from the Bombers at McMahon.... I'll be pleased if we aren't blown out at half time. A win would be a bonus. I swear last year was reminiscent of the 2010s era "Bombers-at-McMahon".

We're just missing Darvin Adams and Lawler

I want the ball in the hands of our best play makers. I don't care how it gets there. Brady makes **** happen whenever he has the ball, especially if it's in space.

Hey I was living in Calgary during the Kerwin Bell years. Some pretty tough games to sit through.

Some of those games were like a football to the groin.

There was only really a Kerwin Bell year...1999. He was toast pretty early in 2000.

It’s not a slight on Brady, but if we want our offense to be successful, our best receivers need to catch the ball more than our RB. White, Wilson, and Demski should be some of our best players.

The last 2 years - when our O has taken a huge step back- Brady has been our #3 and #2 receiver. It looks great during awards season for him but it’s not helping us put up points.

Our O definitely needs what they call big plays. Definitely didn’t have enough of those last year. Also Zach needs to not make dumb throws and decisions. He does that at times tho. Brady ball should be all 4th quarter and ideally by then we already winning by 2 scores plus cuz the O has already scored a few TDs. They ain’t gonna run 30 times and pass 9 times this season tho.
