Bomber app notification just said they are going to announce a trade shortly?

 

What have we become here in Bomberland where we have to settle for a washed up QB and a has been RB. Maybe Reaves and Ploen could make a comeback seriously this team has no vision for the future and keeps digging a bigger hole. They had a whole year to find talent and now were being fed table scraps. Have a feeling this forum might explode after the weekend. 

Really tho...Marshall isn't a washed up has been. If he was used properly he would easily be a 1000 yard rusher and money scoring inside the 5

 

Wasn't talking about Marshall, he has potential, my comment was directed at Chevon Walker

TRADE ALERT: The @EdmontonEsks have acquired OL Brian Simmons from the @Ticats

 

Esks used the 2017 7th round pick they acquire from the Bombers to get OL Brian Simmons.

Edmonton is going to own the 7th round in 2017

Newcomers Matt Nichols and Chevon Walker working closely with QB coach Gene Dahlquist and RB coach Buck Pierce today.

Edmonton is going to own the 7th round in 2017 

No, cause they just traded it to Hamilton.

oops read it wrong. They traded the pick they got from us. Was wondering their interest in 7th round.

Can we trade Nichols for Simmons?

 

And then can we finally fire MB when Nichols gets hurt after two games?  After all, he is a pocket passer that will 'fit' the system...

Interview with Matt

New #Bombers QB Matt Nichols: "...only been here for about 6 hrs now and have a pretty good grasp on the O now." #bn

 

Is he a quick study or is the offense that basic?  I think I may already know the answer.

Doesn't inspire confidence in Davis when they said he's only been here for a month but didn't know enough to play yet.

He was awful today in practice. Early on it looked like Davis and Brohm were splitting reps but it shifted in Brohms favour very quickly.

No, cause they just traded it to Hamilton.

 

How do you trade a conditional pick?  Or was the only condition that Nichols report here?

It is a sure 7th rounder, it will upgrade to 6th rounder if Nichols is still with the Bombers in 2017.

I don't imagine that any team's given offence is that radically different than another team's one in terms of what a play looks like. A post pattern is a post pattern, a screen play is a screen play, a crossing route is a crossing route. The terminology may be different in the play-call, but the X's and O's would probably be quite similar. The issue is knowing that "Omaha" is your new team's name for a fly route when you called "Bulldog" on your old team. The other issue is in-game play-calling, which is knowing when to run what play against what defensive scheme is being shown. That's where offences will differ, not in what plays are in their repertoire. That is why offences look more or less successful; what is called and when, and not in what actual plays are in the playbook.

I wonder if Brohms shits the bed if they go out and sign Gale also? Three years in the Argos system he should be "experienced enough"

No, they likely traded their own 7th round pick.

he's got more experience than all of our back-ups (except for Nichols) combined!

Even with only a few days at practice, I don't see how Nichols could be worse than Brohm. 

Marve to the 6 game.

 

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....

 

That is WAYYYY too much information.

Sorry to overstimulate you with the visuals.

Is this the end of Marve as a Bomber?

I would bet on it. Ineffective, slow learner and brittle.
