BigBlue Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Did you see Garrett run in the game against Edmonton …. their offensive star of the game in my books The naysayers who said the achilles injury finished him …. well I hope they run away and hide knowing they have been schooled Not getting Garrett back on the field is another example of Burke's inability to recognize and assess talent … or perhaps his prejudiced attitude does his thinking for him … Garrett could have given the Bombers a bit of a chance this year at a time when it might have mattered … well maybe Now what is this I hear about Burke's negatives on Sims-Walker?

Mr. Perfect Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I know I'm in the minority but I'll take Chris Garrett over Chad Simpson any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 In fairness Garrett had wide open holes to run into and he was coming off a pretty serious injury so I had no issues with him being cut. It wasn't like we expected Simpson to get hurt and that our o line would be so dreadful. Next season I say bring in Andrew Harris, if not him then bring in a new back that is a bit more durable and who can block and catch out of the backfield.

James Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I'm still a pretty big fan of Chad Simpson. I hope he comes back next season, IMO he could be a top back in this league behind a solid O-line and with a good Offensive scheme. Although I have a good feeling about this Fannin. I'm excited to see what he can do next season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 RBs are VERY easy to find, and finding a healthy one shouldn't be too tough. Find the right GM, and we'll start fresh at the most important positions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 A running back coming off a torn achilles is pretty serious stuff. I can understand why he was released. Good for him he's been able to resume playing even if it is with... the... the.... ugh... (dry heave) Riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree Garrett was running hard...but look at the defence he was running against...they are very very poor I almost went strikeless to the win betting against their ability to stop a running back from getting into the end zone... I wouldn't read too much into a RB doing well against edm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Matthews were both put on the 9 game at the beginning of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
