Bomber PR

[Blueforlife]

i agree our receivers are good (when healthy) unfortunately either our OC or our QB aren't good enough, because so far no one bit Demski has done too much.

OL is not good, no consistency whatsoever.

Not too sure who the elite prospect is (Elgersma?) but the QBs are not fine. Zach doesn't have the arm anymore, Streveler can't run like he used to and is useless as a pocket passer and obviously they don't like Wilson that much since he has gotten no chances (and looked pretty meh in the preseason).

Management has been fine, but clearly regressing and has been unable to find any legit homegrown starters the past couple years it seems.

Also, stop with the Hall nonsense. Congratulations, you were right about something. Everyone has been right or wrong before, dwelling on the time you were right several years ago just discredits any argument you make.

Zach still has an arm
Strev can still run
They like Wilson, he will wait his turn
Management has found some good young players imo
Hall is boss, always has been always will be.  There is a group that seen his brilliance early and I tip my cap to them.  I will celebrate Hall and our support of him for decades.  He is only 2nd to Ritchie in my eyes, who I still talk about.

Not the game day thread, was a discussion about the Bombers in general from an old post from a week ago, the discussion has exactly nothing to do with tonight's match

You talking about the same topic as us lol

I say no.

It's still the argument that Streveler has an arm and / or can run. Whether you said it today or a month ago, you were wrong on both counts.

He's lost his speed and ability to make cuts. He gets some yardage running because it's not harmful to the defence.

This game might also re-address which team has the worst # 2 QB. I gave him some benefit of the doubt in the poll but no longer. He's horrible and has no upside.

Yup.

He has success in week one because BC still accounted for his running ability. No one is doing that anymore and it has 100% revealed his ineffectiveness.

I never said anything about his arm, wasn't an argument about that from me full stop
The convo was about Zach's arm
Strev while not as fast or nimble in the past can still run, pretty well and showed that ability today, yes the throwing has been terrible as of late
Not wrong about Strev's running ability imo,  can't be wrong about something I didn't state (Strev's arm)
Please stop posting things that are untrue about what I said, you have been doing that for a long time and is not welcome or factual
You initially call me out with the assumption I wasn't watching the game / commenting on it which wasn't true and then you continue to try to   state I'm wrong about a topic I didn't even comment on
Zero value in either post imo
I enjoy our interactions and your content on here but I don't enjoy when things go sideways or untrue like this
I want to keep the peace on here and it's hard when you post like you have the last two times
Let's drop it and talk PR please

His knee might get better.  That equals more speed/accel.  In theory it should.  Seems to be taking forever, though.

I agree he has zero upside in the air though.  But if our OC would set him up in better situations I think he could be serviceable, as he was under every other OC we had not named Hogan.

Have you had any kind of joint injury yet? Doesn't seem to ever come back completely after 30.

I haven't had any kind of injury ever!  Comes with the eats/breathes computers territory.

As for 30, I'll take your word for it, but technically Strevy suffered it while he was 29.  He may just be young enough still to pull it off.

Also, if it was a foregone conclusion, wouldn't the geniuses and docs in PAS know this and drop him like a hot potato last offseason?

Well, obviously we know MOS's penchant for letting guys prove it on the field.

I think it's pretty measurable that Strev is not physically what he once was though.

Bombers last regular season game is Oct 25. The expanded PR is 30 days from when you decide to start. So there only about 40 days left all together.

In theory that means we should be adding the extra players very soon. I don't know if that will include some deletions from the current group but it will be interesting to see what kind of players they add.

Obviously we don't expect any to impact the 2025 season but it's jump start at looking at candidates for TC 2026.

As usual we have a lot of potential free agents and we never know how that unfolds.

Regardless I think we've had the most trouble with receivers and DL. I'd start there looking for new bodies.

[bwiser]

lol!

This team needs a lot of players.
They now have two receivers only
They have a A running back
Two of three LBs
And entire d-line
Probably 4 DBs
Entire O line
Entire Quarterback  room

In the Grey cup years they were awesome. Now, they look like the. Ottawa Red / blacks.
O points second half......come on. Management is obviously in over their head

I don't think we need to replace that many players. The Bomber receivers are decent although they could use a Lahler or a healthy Schoen.The linebackers are pretty good. Jones is one of the best middle linebackers in the CFL and Wilson, Kramdi and Griffin when he is in their are more than adequate.Our Db's are vastly improved over the early part of the year.The O line needs at least 3 new players. The D line also needs a big upgrade.I think Colleros could still have another good year left in him but he has to stay upright.There has been way to much pressure on Colleros this season and the poor O line play has effected Olivera from having his usual dominant season. The Bombers need a better Qb to develop.

No, he is clearly not.

In recent seasons we've locked up 1st place early. That allowed the team to activate more PR players to get a look in a regular season game. That might have also included some of the expanded PR players added in October.

That won't be the case in 2025. Our PR players are only going to get into the last game if injuries force the issue.

The expanded PR also becomes more of a problem getting practice reps. Again, we're in a dog fight to land a playoff spot. There won't be much time to use at giving those players more reps.

Obviously we'll add those extra 5 players and it will be interesting to see who they are but I won't expect to see them in a game in 2025.

IMO adding them sooner for the 30 day window looks makes sense now.
