Had his best game as a Bomber and is reminding us how important he is to this club

His communication, tenacity, agreesivenss and versitlity on full display.  Did get beat on one run but can't win em all.  His ability to call the D after reading the O was on full display.  He adjusted the guys off the line on one play and it worked brilliantly.

Getting high praise from CJOB and the club.  A key cog that is worth every penny.

What a game, what an impact and more impressive after missing 6 games.  One of my favorites and so proud of him.

I hope he can be a Bomber for life.  That would make me happy.

3 tackles, one FF, one int.  Bbbbeast mode activated.

Some claimed not effective enough, overpaid, etc.  He answered the bell.

EZ game MVP on the Bombers. He made it all happen. Kramdi even I underestimated.

A monumental performance.
Season ticket holder since year 1 of the Reinbold era.

He's totally being kept because he's being groomed for coaching. I could see him going from unit coach to asst DC eventually. Maybe even dc one day.

He's still not the best athlete, but he's certainly good enough, and more than makes up for it having become the biggie brains replacement.
Never go full Johnston!

People making comparisons to Biggie, I more understand why now.

I always chuckle (snortle?) when fans say there is no "QB of the D" or that he's not that important.  And yet for how many years did we see our D go to crap when Biggie was hurt?  Then BA37.  And now how our D goes to crap when Kramdi is hurt.

The "QB of the D" is a real thing.  A lot of the players out there are there for their brawn or athleticism or speed or whatever... and are lacking in the upstairs dept.  And that's fine.  But that's why you need a Biggie or a Kramdi to point out the stuff they are about to get reamed by -- stuff thought up by the best OC high-brains in the league specifically designed to pick on the lower-brained out there.

You don't go to war without your general.

Yup, way under appreciated and often folks forget the importance of mental contributions as well as physical.  Communication in any organization trumps many things.  Couldn't have said this better myself.  I seen something special with Kramdi early on, but never seen him hitting these heights.

Figure Kramdie will play 4-6 more years, Bombers will have to be the first to offer him a coaching job if they want to retain him.  He revealed in the post game show he got married in the off-season, depending where the wife resides and where she's from could determine his future home.

I've been hard on Kramdi at times this year - and there have been some bad whifs & sloppy tackles.
But that was a great game by him, no doubt.

Edit:  I'd also like to add that I thought Nichols looked alot better too!

Kramdi was a primary reason for our victory. He made the defence work and was involved in multiple turnovers. Good to see him back.

Great points.  Kramdi will whif and have tackling issues due to his size at times.

Nichols looked fine.

Nichols looked healthy and was making some plays. It makes you wonder how long he might have been playing at less than 100%.  And / or did adding Texada at CB give me more confidence in his responsibility? Noting that Texada has been a pleasant surprise.

Best game of Kramdi's career!
Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.
