4 pointshttps://3downnation.com/2022/07/06/winnipeg-blue-bombers-to-induct-former-players-fred-reid-gavin-walls-into-hall-of-fame/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Love it. At the time didn't realize how lucky we were to go from Roberts to Reid. That 260 game was something else. Walls was fun to watch and made a lot of plays. Didn't know he stayed in Winnipeg after football.4 points -

4 pointsReid has the highest single game rushing in club history while Walls was CFL ROTY and both guy can be found on club top 10 lists with other very prominent names - I have no problem with either guy in the Bombers HOF. It's not like we're talking about the Ring of Honour or the CFL HOF - neither guy is at that level (IMO).4 points -

4 pointsNot sure what the criteria to make the Bomber HOF are but here's where they rank anyway: (Reid) ranks seventh on Winnipeg’s all-time rushing yardage list with 4,505 yards, behind Roberts (9,987), Leo Lewis (8,861), Willard Reaves (5,923), Jim Washington (5,736), Gerry James (5,541), and Andrew Harris (5,402). (Walls) made 47 sacks in 82 regular season games with the club, which puts him in a tie for fourth all-time in team history alongside Elfrid Payton and behind only Tyrone Jones (98), Tony Norman (59), and Doug Brown (52).4 points -

3 pointsFred Reid was a bright spot on a rebuilding team in 2009, and 2010, averaging almost 7 yards a carry and 1400 yards rushing is actually pretty insane. I remember once he got through that initial 5-7 yards he could really flip the switch and get going. He was good for a couple of big runs each and every game.3 points -

yeah...he's not a locker room issue....and isnt dirty...played hard and fast, and has adapted to the new way of pummeling ball carriers....he would be an excellent pickup if Wilson is down for year....if there is a talented player available to improve our team...you grab them regardless of who/what u already have...thats how good teams stay good3 points

2 pointsTBH I thought the Oline was doing a pretty good job of pass blocking last night - It certainly didn't feel like Collaros was constantly running for his life. Biggest issue IMO was the screens and horizontal passes Collaros had 25 completions - out of those 11 were thrown to receivers who were between 0 and 2 yards from the LOS - our NET YARDS on those 11 passes was 13 YARDS. 7 of 11 of those LOS passes gained less than 2 yards (4 LOST yards) and we immediately had to surrender possession 4 times after those plays. Something wasn't working with their scheme on those quick passing horizontal plays - to my eye one issue looked like receivers not making their blocks.2 points- Week 5 - Back to Back Champs at Lions - Week of thread

2 pointsWe're dumping on a kid who was born and raised in Canada, who spent his last high school season in the US and then played college in the US for not being Canadian enough? There are a lot of talented Canadian kids who play college ball in the US or who even play part of high school in the US. Dallas Sims is a Winnipeg kid who is playing in the US now for high school and has multiple D1 offers. Is he not Canadian enough?2 points- Canadian Politics

2 pointsYou know where else Brad Wall's strategic advice has been sought? - Brad Wall Hydro Report Brings Privatization Failures to Manitoba (policyfix.ca) I sure hope LeBreton is right and Canadians are still more reasonable than the loudest, most obnoxious ones try to convince otherwise. If our elections weren't basically Conservatives vs. all the other parties, they would have no chance. They are despised by many and only have a chance because they can unite the regressive members of society. They're having a hard time keeping it all under one tent and still having a chance to be the official opposition. Probably the best thing for the long term health of the party would be to come out strong against the ridiculous alt-right misinformation fueled elements and hope to stamp that out, but instead we get Maga Bergen and PP to steer the party forward (backward?).2 points- 2022 CFL Season - Non Back 2 Back Champs News

yeah....no need to panic at all....we gave ourselves a nice 4-0 cushion to start season, know what we need to work on now after 4 games, and have the faith and belief that the powers that be see/know it too, and discussions are being had....the Oline brought back 4 all-stars...they didnt lose their ability and fall off a cliff from December when they last played...the game where Couture got hurt they were coming into form, and now will need a lil gel time...defense is fine tho the Wilson injury hurts, but then again a lot of time it allows a new guy to emerge, so in the end we could be even stronger if/when Wilson comes back. The issue we need to fix up is to bring in...or roster....and use properly a different style of receiver who is a downfield guy...fast and long and a threat from anywhere on the field....that and designate Johnny as the true RB1 for next game, and give full reps of 15 touches or more to get in game flow to see what he can/can't do as a actual full-time starter....and if it more of the same then time to rethink the ratio and bring in a RB in the mold of Carey or Standback and go that route....ratio wise we don't need that spot to be a Canadian player, and we can still use one of the young guys in rotation and in certain sets....we do that and we will be just fine. it's also where you are in oct/nov...not in june/july and as it stands now....we have wiggle room to figure it out as worst case scenario even if we only win say 3 more games here on out it's pretty much a lock to cross over with 7 wins...maybe 8...and this is probably the team that would be the one to cross over, and get to the Grey Cup, and win it...and wouldn't it be just icing on the cake to do that and thrash the Riders at IGWest...mind you i don't see them getting there regardless1 point- US Politics
