Quote from: dd on Today at 05:42:12 PMI d like to see us roll Dru out on play action to buy a little more time and make some plays off the edge. Brown is alot younger, faster and more athletic than Collaros, use those attributes, don't just have him drop back and get killed.

If memory serves, Dru has been seriously injured executing those rollouts near the sidelines, getting run over upon release of the ball.  That's also a play that Zach regularly gets planted on, not sure it should be in his playbook anymore.

Quote from: Jesse on Today at 05:03:45 PMWhat is risky about putting Elgersma on the RR? He's a raw rookie out of USports. That's exactly where he should be this year.
That would be my preference. But if he's on our PR, he's available to be picked up...
He probably wouldn't be picked up, but there's a chance. He's our best shot at a future star QB we've had in a while. I want them to take it slow and develop him properly. Maybe he thinks he can find a better spot as a back up on another roster.

We might look to protect him more especially with Zach out.  Good counter point.  A wee bit of roll out might be ok.  Sling from the pocket will work if OL holds.

He shouldn't be getting run over if he's released the ball, that s RTP all day, not that it prevents an injury. I get what you're saying, what I m saying is we have a guy who has some escapability, lets use it and not call for him to be a sitting duck every play.

Was it Kramdi who hit Brown in the head two seasons ago?

Is this the bad place?

Well, you're in luck, because the reserve roster (RR) is not the practice roster (pr) and he can't be picked up by another team.
My wife is amazing!

Dru Brown wore #18 in 2021, #6 in 2022-2023 & he'll wear #4 tonight. That will make him the 4th Blue Bombers QB to wear 3 different numbers as a Blue Bomber (in the CFL era).

Who are the other 3 QBs?

Hint 1: the other 3 all have a number in common

Hint 2: Two are reitred but are still active in the CFL. The 3rd QB is deceased.

Thank you! That was a pretty greasy move by Kramdi.

Bombers have to watch out for Kevin Mital, among the secondary he's a bruiser that's hard to bring down, wish the Bombers would give MCI a chance to do the same.  I've been super impressed with a few returns the last few games, he's big and he's fast.
