Toronto@ Winnipeg Pre-game

[theaardvark]

I think the Argos might have this game.

They are coming in hot and Brown is a step down from Collaros.

A step down from a young, healthy Collaros... not sure today's Collaros is much better than Dru.

Either way I give the Argos a 50/50 chance of beating them.

I'm a little concerned next year, if Collaros retires. Maybe Dru plays good enough, and with the savings we can pay for an actual decent offensive line.

Best years for the Bombers since 1992
1992 - Dunigan
1993 - Dunigan
2001 - Jones
2007 - Glenn
2011 - Pierce
2019-2024 - Collaros

Worst years
1997 - Chris Vargas
1998 - Troy Kopp & TJ Rubley
2013 - Max Hall

Notice a difference?

None of our QBs during the "best years" had first names?

Spoke highly of Kramdi again, but no mention of Hansen so not likely a player he requested.  Wonder why Mike Miller gets away without doing interviews?

[ModAdmin]

All players on the injured list participated in a full practice today with the exception of ZC08 who did not practice.

The best years qbs don't need first names.... The brohms and goltzs do, because no one remembers who they are.

C mon man, Collaros is head and shoulders better than Brown, with Zach, I am confident we beat Toronto, with Brown, we won't 

[Waffler]

I don't agree. Collaros doesn't need to practice per se. He's familiar with the playbook and has chemistry with the receivers....
Whether O'Shea is just smoke and mirrors and has already determined that Brown will start against the Argos, IDK. It could well be that Collaros is headed to the IR as I've stated earlier.

Back in July Derek Taylor posted that since he's been here anytime that Zach didn't get the full practice, he also didn't start.  Based on that I am sure as I can can be that he won't start this time either. We will start Brown.

Augh....are we going to see 6 yard curl pattern Brown offense , or regular offense and just deal with the 3 picks he's going to throw?

My comment wasn't based on whether he would or wouldn't start. It was more about having Brown who was not in TC and getting # 2 QB reps as an important issue at the moment.

Collaros was removed from the last game so giving him a bit more time may factor into not practising.

I don't particularly believe O'Shea's spin on players likely to start. So I don't totally disagree that Collaros doesn't end up up on IR and have said that.

I've also said if he does go on IR again, I'm all for leaving him there for the rest of the season.  He only played 2 games and couldn't even finish the 2nd game. Not a good sign he should return.

Justin and Brian. I wish I could forget them. It's like PTSD. Brohm throwing into the dirt 5 yards in front of an open receiver. Goltz with his pathetic
TD celebration, adjusting his tie. Engraved on my memory forever

6 yard curls are not natural to Brown, that's how Condell thinks Brown has to play in order to succeed.  I remember a version that found his man and threw the ball downfield with ease and accuracy.
