OT: Winnipeg Blue Bombers 2024 Season Thread (7-6) - No notes needed. - Next at EDM Sept 21 600pm

[Blitzkrug]

Now that's the Zach Collaros I'm used to seeing.

Beautiful throw to the back shoulder

 

[jetsforever]

Nice TD for Demski

 

[Blitzkrug]

Rourke looks pretty solid too. His WRs, not so much.

 

[SUX2BU]

Shut up suitor

Atta boy willie

 

[Holden Caulfield]

That'll be reversed. Returner was down.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not sure that's a fumble.

Don't ask the command center though. They rely on a spinning wheel to determine calls at this point.

 

[None]

Looks like the fumble was as a result of being down.

 

[DerekDevils30]

This secondary is something else

 

[Blitzkrug]

Rourke looking rusty as expected. Dave Naylor reportedly in shambles until someone reminded him his BFF Chad Kelly is back to slobber on.

I'm as big a Rourke fanboy as you'll find west of BC. But playing him on 3 days practice, where his top targets only had 1 practice with him...just not smart. Not setting him up for success. But they probably needed to agree to him playing right away because Rourke made it a condition of signing (my opinion only here)

Not only that, but with Adams out i'm not sure the third string option would be better than Rourke with all the above in mind anyway.

 

[SUX2BU]

21 minutes in and Rork is being anointed
as a all star

 

[None]

What a horrible spot. Lawler was half a yard past the first down mark.

 

[Shaundogg]

Whitehead is not a great returner.

 

[rkp]

dumb offside play!

 

[Blitzkrug]

Both of these teams have looked like the drizzling shits after each of their first drives.

Bombers o-line get beat by a stiff breeze and Nathan Rourke is unsurprisingly rusty after being kinda thrown into the deep end

 

[Holden Caulfield]

They released Dolegala immediately, probably needed to save every penny (and they'll almost assuredly be over the cap already). On the roster this week is only Rourke, Chase Brice (whos not thrown a CFL pass I believe) and the injured Vernon Adams who's not even dressed.

Dolegala also sucks, to be fair.

That's also a hell of a throw by Collaros. That ball is picked off if it's put anywhere but where he put it.

 

[None]

Huge pick

 

[jetsforever]

We're crushing it on interceptions today

 

[Blitzkrug]

Rourke is trying to throw passes with touch that he obviously doesn't have yet.

Lots of balls he's trying to float and he either misses high or throws it too far inside.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Tyrell Ford is a beast. Hope the Bombers pay that guy, an elite CB that has a Canadian passport. I'd rather look for another Schoen or Ontaria Wilson in the WR corps rather than lose Ford.

 

[DerekDevils30]

The secondary is on receivers like glue. Impressive to watch

 

[Larabee]

Why didn’t O’Shea call a time out ? We could have gotten an extra play.

100% agreed.

elite import WR might be the easiest thing to find in this league and appear to grow on trees. Makes sense given how many guys play the position and the sheer amount of them that never get a look from the NFL.

Ford is a unicorn type player. Elite at a hard to find position plus being a Canadian.
