Not sure if there was an injury but Hawkins didn't seem to be out there too much as the game went on. If I'm not mistaken. I thought Hawkins was terrible...also looked slow.

Root Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I suspect they're looking for more speed and smarts at that position but given our track record finding quality imports they might be stubborning it out with what they got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was only on the roster for 3 days prior to the game so I think he deserves a bit of slack. Floyd and Atomic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggett and the D were outstanding for the most part (I still don't understand why Tasker is allowed to sit on the 1st down marker with nobody around for miles on 2nd and long) and full marks for that win. Macho's kick recovery is incredible and I'm going to give credit to MOS as much as the players. Great call. I really think the offense is going to take a lot of time to figure out what Lapo is doing, so this was a little bit of progress (as noted earlier this week, all I really wanted to see). Jace Davis is going to be a beauty in this league for a long time, if he stays healthy. And cap tip to TBurg for a nice post in this thread...maybe my favourite post of his ever. And I know you don't agree but imagine, just imagine, what the games would be like if the Oline could ever roll into the form of some of the great Olines we've had in the Walby/Blink/Sellers days. Harris + Good Oline = wins, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK none of them played together, but the Olines in those days were better than what we have now. Watch those Sellers/Blink highlights again and watch the job the Olines did. I know you don't agree but those guys were moving people. Walby of course, was a beast when we were last winning cups. I'm just trying to imagine how good we'd be if we could once again move people off the line like we did in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just re-watched the game, say what you will about Austin's Ti-Cats but the one thing they do not do is lie down and take it. They played poorly against the Bombers and made countless mistakes but even with their second string QB and 6 T.O.'s they were still scratching and clawing to the very end.

Bombers OL during Mike Sellers time, specifically, was so bad, it shortened Khari Jones' career by close to a decade. He took a worse beating than just about any QB that I've ever seen. The only respectable OL we had between Walby's era till now (still bad) is the Doug Berry years, with Gauthier, Picard and Khan....that was a good OL....and the only one we've had in about 20 years. johnzo, Tracker, BigBlueFanatic and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodspeed I believe was part of that crew as well, unless I'm getting my years mixed up. I thought he did well for us until his final season with the team.

Dee Urban Hermit Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I know that everyone is ragging on the officials over that 3rd qter offside call, but when I looked at it again you can see why it was called this way. Winnipeg was lined up offside right from the start. The Refs have to wait for the ball to be called into play, but at that point the Hamilton receivers ran offside. The officials had to call the original infraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
