rebusrankin Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 So do we go 4 imports at receiver? If we only go three is it Adams? Gordon? Clemons or Tuenei? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KptKrunch Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 It is encouraging that Daniels appears to be looking good with Dile being hurt. It appears we may have a nice receiving corps this year: Denmark/Moore/Adams/Kolhert/FG with say Bastain/Richards and Tuieni in reserve. The Freep is a joke with the coverage. Wonder if it would be $50 a month if they actually had reporters who reported? Hey - don't worry about the Freep - I get all my info here. Thanks to all for doing what you do I trust what you guys say (most of the time ) over what I'd read in the paper anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 What's Gordon's size like? I don't recall. Was interesting hearing Stegall say how the receivers are going to change in the league due to the new rules. Small/speedier receivers will be the norm, according to him anyway. Maybe Gordon is the beginning? He's listed on the roster as 6'1", 195 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 I'm disappointed at the turn of events for Yantz. I'm also puzzled. Why hang onto him, in TC, and not give him reps? Are they keeping him somewhere? And he'll get his chance? Will the shoe drop for Portis? Can the Bombers afford to release Portis, or have they seen enough? Isn't TC fun?

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 So do we go 4 imports at receiver? They've basically decided that Hurl is MLB, so having 3 NI's on the field on D at all times with a MLB, CB and WIL/DL/DB seems like it could happen. If it does I assume they'll have 4 import receivers on the roster, might only "start" 3 if they want to start more than 7 NI's. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Gordon is the beginning? That was an interesting point. One of the biggest things I'm looking for with the new rule is how they handle the "physical" receivers and some of the picks set downfield to open up space. Rule should go both ways if they are going to be strict. I don't necessarily agree with Milt because in the couple of pre-season games I've watched there hasn't been any huge difference IMO and big targets are always good, even against zone. In fact having guys with more "catch radius" could save a lot of INT's vs zone defense. Bigblue204 and Blue-urns 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbill2004 Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Willy is miles ahead of any of our other QBs. He just looks so polished and confident. His accuracy and completion rate is much better than the other QBs. rebusrankin, northof60, SPuDS and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 But comparing Marve to McManus and Matty D is crazy talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geebrr Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I didn't compare the talent, I compared the tendency for people to think they know better. Id wager money people were excited to see Sunseri play over Durant last year... How'd that go? SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 The 1992 Grey Cup was the worst game I ever saw Dunigan play, 47 passing yards in over 3 quarters. I was glad McManus went in the 4th but it was already too late. McManus was 7 of 18 passing for 155 yards. It was the only time I wanted him in over Dunigan but even then you knew he was the future and it was a crime when he left. We had to use Garza the next year so you can't say he was replaced. To me they were guys from different eras even though Dunigan continued to play after he left here, he was pretty much done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourface Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Who actually believes that Marve is better than Willy though (except that one poster at TEP)? I mean... I would like to see him get reps and I'd get excited at the opportunity to see him play but I don't think anyone expects him to be better than Willy. Marve still has much to prove.

Noeller Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, yknow, thinking about it... Dunigan was severely dinged at that point and everyone knew it. I don't remember McManus's ability from those early days, but I mightve been willing to listen to an argument....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marve has not really stepped up, according to reports, and I thought he would do better as camp rolled along. His saving grace is that the guy behind him is doing worse.

Goalie Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 No he hasn't been better than brohm at all. Do people think a QB who runs every other play is really sustainable? It's not. He's 3rd string for a reason and until he learns to read a d and complete a pass more consistently he will stay 3rd and I like Marve too but he is not better than brohm right now.

QBs who look to run as their first option usually get beat up pretty badly and quickly and thus have a short career. I am still hoping that Marve's self-preservation instinct will kick in and he will see the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
