chad can sling it - huge test for the defence.  Coxie and Mital are beasts

this will be a test and the Bombers seem to have trouble with the argos...at least there is no saturday afternoon game in toronto  that the Bombers have the most trouble with.

Judge looked really banged up last game.  Not surprised he's out.  It's a real pickle for TOR as he's their ratio buster.  I wonder what their solution will be?

A Younger D actually matches up very well against a sling-first/sling-often QB.  Our kryptonite is the dink & dunk.  Kelly has no time for the dink & dunk.

What may be troublesome is the size of their RECs.  Mital is a monster.  Polk/Coxie are no shrimpkins.  Ungerer is manageable.  Kahmann is the wildcard, but was held to basically no stat last game.

Not scared of Hicks (RB).  Though sometimes we make never-were RBs look like all-stars.

Plan around Kelly being uber-loose with the ball, and in all instances go for the INT.  Just don't let them get behind you, as he loves to chuck 60Yers like they're nothing.

If there's any team we have a hope of beating, it's this one.
Never go full Johnston!

2 Biggest issues besides Kelly
1 is Argos dline, can we block
2. 6ft 3 receivers Coxie and Polk we've had issues with our smaller secondary guys losing one on ones. Especially Moxie , those 50/50 balls have been more like 80/20

Suffice it to say, this upcoming game is huge for the Bombers.

- Bombers are 3rd in the west after all 9 teams in the league have played 4 games.

- Bombers have scored the fewest points for in the west but lead the west in fewest points against.

- Hamilton could be in deep trouble without Bo out for a good while.

- Ottawa is seemingly going nowhere making the crossover a viable route to the playoffs for the west's 4th place team.

- The big question - Will Zach be available for the TO game?  If not, will Dru be ready assuming he is the best alternative at the QB position?

All of the above - good news, bad news but the playoffs, while a long ways away - remain within reach.  All is not lost.

West is super tight, EDM is a poser, and so far no one is running away with it.  Gives us time to get our act together and catch up to the better early-prepared teams.

And SSK fans & org must be pooping their pants right about now, because their QB room is empty.  If T.Harris gets his ankle broken (or whatever), their season is more over than HAM.

Strangely enough, we have one of the best QB rooms at the moment.
Never go full Johnston!

It's sounds like 30 on Friday. Glad we sit on the west side were we get the shade. Players are going to have to hydrate for this one.

We need someone to explain that while these statistics appear to support the idea that defence is good,

they actually show that the defence is bad, and Younger is a bad coach.





The Zipp

Bombers injury report lists Zach Collaros as Did Not Practice today. It was the Bombers only day of practice ahead of Friday vs. the Argos.

Will it be Taylor Elgersma or Dru Brown Friday? We'll find out when they release the depth chart tomorrow morning.

I would like to TE start. Dru can't come in at any point in the game if TE isn't playing well.
