Holden Caulfield
He's guilty
Thanks. Let's hope on Collaros. Not much more to be done on our end, just sit and hope there. It all sounds fine right now. On the other perspective, sometimes the cold and hard turf can make things feel worse than they are. We all saw hope Rourke looked like 80-90% healthy in West Semi, but he could barely make it on and off the field in the cold in Winnipeg a week later. So maybe it was just a stinger. His post-game did make it sound like if the Bombers had any intention to throw the ball, Collaros would have been back out there.
Darby's been nice but Im still not sold that it was a massive difference from Rutledge? Lawrence has been a nice reclamation so far a few games in, just getting Holm out of the starting lineup however they could is the biggest difference. Lawrence likely moves to a backup role if Demerio Houston is healthy by next week, he almost made it in this week. I'm actually more worried about Clements right now than Collaros (not in terms of impact but more seriously like he might not play). That cheap shot from Chung at the end of the game was nasty, he may be out. Losing him to go back to Gauthier would likely be a field day for Argo's RB's.
Grant's problem is always getting the ball in his hands haha. Once it's there, you are often in for a show. Getting the ball to his hands...that is sometimes quite entertaining/heartbreaking. I remember the punt your talking about, my fiancee said the same thing. In a vacuum, I agree with you on that one. But there were several factors why I was ok with it there. Once you've committed to catching the ball, stopping yourself can be tricky. Alot of times when returners try that it hits them and bounces to an opponant. Where the game was at, that was the one thing they couldn't afford. Ideally yes he probably should have let it go, but it's hard to predict exactly where it comes down and I think he was worried about it bouncing just in bounds and either hit him or roll a bunch further downfield. So he just committed to preserving the field position. With his fumble trouble, I was OK with the decision.
Yeah I don't know about Liegghio. His distance seems short all the time, but he's shown he can hit 50+ yarders as well. IDK, but really it's too late for anything else. Like it or lump it, he'll be the leg we'll be using this week. Hope for the best.
Oliviera did win this game. So pumped for our shot at a 3 peat.
Thanks Holden, if I ever meet you in person I will buy you a beer in payment for your investigative reporting.(If beer is your drink).
Much appreciated. Nothing investigative lol I just love talking Bombers, especially the finer details which I get here. Talking in person with people is cool, but then I remember 95% of people don't follow close enough to even know our entire starting roster, so it's nice to come here with a bunch of people like me that obsess over small details haha. Honestly if I was younger I'd probably be one of those guys with podcasts, but here I am all old fashioned and I like the written word.
