  • Please release Brohm immediately and this will be the best QBing news in a while.

  • Good lord, I can't believe I'm actually taking a 6 hour bus ride to watch Brian Brohm throw a football around.

  • Considering we're signing him to be a backup, this is a very wise move. Should coincide with the release of Brohm too, one would think.

Hey, we can win with Brohm if we get a return td, a pick six, 8 sacks, a few forced fumbles, a few long field goals.

Nichols for a 7th rounder. WOW.

We basically got  him for free.

 

Nicholls is Dinwiddie 2.0

Still better than Brohm and Marve. 

 

Two trained monkeys playing accordions & eating bananas would be.

quickly goes to pick ems to change this week's pick to Winnipeg, then remembers history of LDC and decides even with Aaron Rodgers we are going to lose that game...

 

Well yeah, Brohm is better than Rodgers though, dontchaknow!?

 

GO PACKERS!

I'm OK with this move. 7th round in 2017 is very cheap and pretty sure most will forget at 2017 CFL draft why we dont have 7th rnd pick.

I guess the expected changes will be:

IN:

Nicholls,

Simmons,

Walker,

Lemon

Adams

OUT:

Brohm (will be released later this week? ;) )

Littlejohn

T.Thomas

Peach (will be released too)

Gordon

Oooh. My nipples are hard....

Did I miss the Lemon signing?

I was going to say the same thing. I don't remember us signing Lemon yet. Don't jump the gun guys.
Also Brohm on and starting, with Marve being injured...

I really like this move because once Willy comes back we have a legitimate starter and a reasonable backup.  Can't say we've had that for a long long time now.  One dark cloud on the horizon is, of course our Offensive Coordinator and his patented "have the qb drop back 3 steps and get hit by three d linemen, a linebacker and maybe the safety all at once" play.  

 

I like how the Bombers are trying to improve by addition.  Now it's time to get better by subtraction.

I don't think that's a guarantee at this moment, really wouldn't be surprised if Davis starts.

 

Honestly, i know it's day 1 but.... at the same time, if Brohm was definitely going to play, wouldn't Oshea say he would be instead of saying it's down to Brohm and Davis really?

Report from today's practice have Brohm and Davis taking reps. with completions in the range of 25%.

Nichols is well known to throw untimely interceptions in the 20-30 yd. range.  Luckily Marcel doesn't have any receivers running routes that far down field.

So, is this the move that will make Walters, O'Shea & Bellefeuille "solidifed" with the Bombers for years  to come?

I think the next 9 games will have more to do with determining that.

Marcel needs to be gone in the off-season.

No, need to whisper, SHOUT!!!

Brohm says he's excited for the new scheme that will have the receivers crawl off the line of scrimmage as fast as they can so he can hit them in full stride ;) Funny that his response to the question about Matt Nichols being acquired was, "Im not concerned about it". I would think it should be, "that's good more experience to help the team in the long run when I falter." :)

You can tell he's nervous about Nichols.  Look at how much he's sweating while answer questions.

all to the defence

Wow, they basically traded nothing to get him. Pretty good steal.

It's interesting because I would assume (I haven't checked) that a lot of Esks fans are happy to get something for somebody they were likely going to lose for nothing, though they might not have wanted to lose him until the off-season.

 

It seems to be a win-win trade.

Game ready, then.

Nichols is awful, but at least he'll be an improvement on Marve & Brohm until our schemes and O-line get him injured.

RE: Shawn Lemon

Optimism rules today:


Arash Madani ?@ArashMadani 8h8 hours ago

Shawn Lemon, a #CFL free agent, likely signs (between BC, Ottawa, WPG) in the next 24-48 hours. WPG putting on full-court press to land him.


gary lawless ?@garylawless 4h4 hours ago

told to expect a decision on DL Shawn Lemon's landing spot in #cfl within the next three hours. offers from BC, Ott, Wpg. situation "fluid."

Marve can write a short story about his pro football career. Title it "How to lose a job in 2 weeks."

We're waiting Gary.... ;)

A serviceable QB for free essentially. Can't complain.
