February 10, 20169 yr It's been a long time since we had a home grown Winnipeg star to cheer for. For me, AH makes the season. Further, Harris is one of the few players in this league who can put the whole team on his back and carry them. We have just added 4 victories to this season. Won't it be great to have his family in the stands?

February 10, 20169 yr I wonder if Demski is looking over his shoulder homeward....Now wouldn't that be a nice homecoming for all...

I know the Demski's from when I used to coach football and they are a very tight knit family. I am sure that Nic would love to come home to be closer to them and he was a HUUUGE Bomber fan. Wouldn't take much to stoke that fire again. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by gcn11

February 10, 20169 yr ANDREWS HARRIS 2016: 20 touchdowns 1000 yards rushing 1000 yards receiving 1000mg of lithium for BigBlue.

February 11, 20169 yr Day one of training camp - how to scheme for hot routes to counter-act blitzes. Something that MB could never understand. With Lapo I hope we don't get any more of those receiver screens. They never worked. Kito Poblah used to just get killed every time for a loss.

February 11, 20169 yr I would love to see him used as a checkdown guy, something we haven't had since......... Fred Reid???? or maybe ever. Anyways give him space and let him break some tackles. I am excited to see what he can bring and hopefully Lapo brings a CFL capable offence.
February 11, 20169 yr I've always been critical of Harris. In my eyes he's been over rated often. Now of course that he's wearing the right colours. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit excited to see what he can bring. His rec skills and blitz pick up is what has me most excited. Here's hoping he can prove me wrong and he has his best season yet!
February 11, 20169 yr What Harris will help with most of all is finally providing us with someone that the opposing defence has to game plan against. He isn't the best runner in the CFL, he isn't the best receiver, but put them together and he becomes one of the most dangerous players to play against. When defences have to focus on shutting down one guy it keeps them from calling the shots and dictating the game plan. Just his presence on the field eliminates a lot of the blitz. He is what we needed, an outlet for Willy when under pressure and a player that will help our offence dictate on the field versus reacting. I think people are going to see vast improvement in our sacks against numbers and are going to be celebrating how Lapo and Wylie turned the OL around. Just remember that a big part of that was the signing of Harris.
February 11, 20169 yr If the opposition is content on blitzing us every second play, the cure is dumping it off to Harris and let him do his thing...He was quite successful for B.C. at taking pressure off of the qb. and if defenders give him a crack to slip through.....bye bye...A part of our game missing for a long time and executing it properly.
February 11, 20169 yr I would love to see Harris in more of a multi-position role... I don't think he should be lining up behind centre for more that half the snaps... get him out in space, in the slot, anything to get him more productive while reducing some of the beatings he takes an a RB....
It's been a long time since we had a home grown Winnipeg star to cheer for. For me, AH makes the season.

We have just added 4 victories to this season.
