I will never forget that hit Ian Wild made on the Calgary receiver, Price, on a snowy night in Calgary.

Go Bombers!

Quote from: The Zipp on August 06, 2024, 03:30:44 PMso true..Ford, Bonds, Holm and Nichols - quality 4 young guys.  Alexander is the weak spot and he is serviceable and has some great experience but father time is tapping him on the shoulder.
I like Alexander but I wouldn't mind seeing what Cole could do back there. Cole has decent speed and hits a ton.

Cole is on the 6 game IR at the moment. He may be back at some point but when is a TBD.

From early on this season I get the impression Cole has lost ground to others and may never be granted a starting position. He certainly isn't going to replace Kramdi anytime soon.

I don't know if Cole is fast enough...who knows what will happen with injuries etc in the secondary but I really like the guys we have. Speed and athleticism are excellent right now with that bunch.

After 9 games, the Bombers have now given up the least points on defence. They've moved past the Als with the fewest points after the game last night.

It also appears we'll have scored the least amount of points after 9 games. Need to improve on that by a bunch.

Defence might win championships, but not if you can't score.

Definitely still need to work on converting a few of these FGs into TDs.
