BC @ Winnipeg Aug.3.

[Tiger]

I believe I am not a cheerleader here but it does amaze me that some people are questioning, for example, why we did not sign Lemon, why we not dealing with a perceived aging process on the Oline, why we are not searching for the next Joe O. Lineman, why we are not upgrading the practice roster, etc. etc.

Prior to training camp virtually everyone was applauding the fact we retained the team core, coaching and scouting staff.  Some people were panicking whether nor not we would be able to extend Walters for 3 more years.

It stretches the imagination to think this organization would suddenly drop the ball or become complacent in their search to improve the team where needed.  Clearly Lemon was not a fit - either financially, culturally or talent-wise.

IF the team believes they should bring in more talent to be assessed, they will.  No doubt the search is always on for improved and/or potentially future talent.  They have pretty much shown that over the past recent years.

I a big fan of the Canadian Magia and but that does not mean they are perfect or one cannot ask questions.

I think the retention was judge. 

I also have been a big fan of Bryant for a long time.   He was been exceptional and perhaps the best o linemen ever.  That said he has been beat this year.  In the past he had maybe been beat once or twice a year.  Has he lost a step? Sure but he is still better than 80-90 % of the p linemen in the league including the rest on our team. 

We really miss Couture.  The top or second best centre in the league.  kolankowski played well when Couture was injured but not so well this year.  Greg is not planning out and Dobson is in in more and more. 

The oline is a unit and subeject to it?s sealed link.


This all plays a part.

Medically cleared too so I should be on the field real soon.

Good to hear. I was expecting to see him back this next game. How the secondary and SAM get re-shuffled I'm not sure.

[Jesse]

Excited for Rose.

Our depth in the secondary is fantastic.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Great news hopefully it is the old Rose who was dynamic!

Deepest in the league...?

Looking forward to seeing Rose back out there.

I wonder who comes out. I wonder if the Bombers would consider putting Alexander in Darby's spot and trying Rose at safety.Alexander is probably our most versatile player and I believe he would do a good job where ever you put him.

[pjrocksmb]

Sure hope he is 100% ready if he is will take a few games to get up to speed and then he will be very good.  He will play in his regular spot.

I wouldn't think that would be a choice considered. That said, I'll be waiting to see who does line up at SAM.

[The Zipp]

Well we better be ready, offense, defence and ST had better come to play 60 minutes.  Can't be taking a quarter off against BC next week. 

BC has a very, very good defence

Big big test.  Not convinced the Bombers are in the Argos tier group anymore, their D-line is ferocious.

[TecnoGenius]

I think we pick them apart.  Play the edge runs and mid pass game, which just so happens to be a Zach specialty.  BC players were getting dinged up vs EDM, so pick on the ones who were dinged the most.  And I think we put an end to Evans looking like an all-star.  Let's remind him of the '19 GC...

[NewBlue]

Oh Boy, I'm pumped for this game.  Has a playoff type feel, and biggest test this year so far.  Should be pretty close to a sell out!

[Lincoln Locomotive]

this game will tell us a lot about who the Bombers really are.....BC has pitched two shutouts so far this season....their front 7 is a force and they have one of the best secondaries in the league if not THE best.    Home field advantage for the WF is hanging in the balance

[Blue In BC]

This game will go a long ways in determining whether we're in the hunt for 1st place. Losing and it will be more uphill in that battle. Win and we're tied for 1st. It's that simple.

[3rdand1.5]

I hope for the best, but IMO BC looks to be the better the team. I would imagine we fair much better than Sask. but BC's front 7 is just too good, they simply take over and control the line and ultimately the game.
