KptKrunch Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Arguably the best Canadian to never play for the bombers. I love this guy when he's healthy but IMO this will be his last year. His body obviously isn't built for pro football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Too bad for Watson- good hands, good speed, good routes, linebacker mentality but maybe he should take up badminton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoochylde Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'd love to see what he could do if he stayed healthy for a season. He could be a ratio breaker .. But once you stRt suffering these types of soft tissue injuries .. They tend to happen more frequently .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 So... Watson goes to the 1-game IR Feoli-Gudino replaces Watson as starter Carter goes on from 46 to 44 If Alexander is healthy he goes from IR to 44 Jones goes from 44 to 46 O'shea hinted that they will retain the same lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the team has found some sort of rhythm, go with it. If it ain't broke.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 I fear the worst for Watson; he plays with abandon and unless he learns something about self protection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPuDS Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 He's gonna keep.blowing up hamstrings due to reckless abandon? I guess it's reckless not to stretch or stay hydrated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you stRt suffering these types of soft tissue injuries .. They tend to happen more frequently .. Yep, and eventually 80% becomes 100%, Watson's probably already there.

Nasty Nate Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 It appears chronic. Not good. Hard to get into the rhythm of a season from the ice tub. Playing 6 or 7 out of 18 games doesn't help much - causes too many roster flips. I don't think many bomber fans are counting on this guy for the future.

Westy Sucks Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Cory Watson's career is turning out to be a big bust. Plenty of talent, but these injury woes make him a bust. Should have just kept Kito. Gave up on him too quick. He played quite well in BC's first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrg Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Poblah had 2 catches for 11 yards. The only Bomber player who caught a ball with less yards receiving was Volny. Teague Sherman had 11 yards receiving. Watson (72 yards, 1 TD in one half) being injured again does not magically make Poblah a better player. They do not belong in the same conversation.

do or die Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well, Watson has proven, that he can ball (when he is in there). Poblah? Hardly....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Watson is healthy, he gets more touches, more ST time and a fearsome blocker.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Nate Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I wonder if a desperate eastern team (ie. Montreal) might be interested in Watson via trade. Perhaps they have some form of advanced training methods that could rehab Watson's persistent injuries. If so, I'd have no problem shipping Cory and a high draft pick next year (2nd or 3rd round) for Chip Cox. Cox would really complete our defense and is perfect for an Etcheverrian assault. . . . of course, Cox is pretty much the Als best overall player so I don't think a lame national wide receiver and a 2015 pick would even get Popp sniffing. What would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think we're looking at the Cory Watson situation in the wrong way. If we thought of him strictly as a rotational player, then I think the performance he gives us, in limited time, is pretty damn good. Trouble is, rotation is usually in the same game….but, we can work around that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sure trade a starting national and a high pick for an international. Seems perfect for a team trying to build up its Canadian depth. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
