Like the "rose" red they used, but the gradient is so-so.

Will you buy the new Bomber Jersey?
I go shirtless everywhere I go, so I won't buy one.

- Muamba, Inman, Dressler, Sheets
They have already replaced him with _____.- Muamba, Inman, Dressler, Sheets
Apparently he has the cap space to make a good run at re-signing him. Although I can see MD writing a blank-cheque as well.- Muamba, Inman, Dressler, Sheets
The thunder scares me.- Muamba, Inman, Dressler, Sheets
Speaking as someone who hasn't followed too much NFL preseason, I had to take note of Lawless' comments prior to the BC/TOR game tonight. Surprising no one, Muamba is likely to stick with the Colts. Also Dontrelle Inman looks to be in good shape with the Chargers. Dressler and Sheets however may be in a bit tough. Could see both back in the CFL this season. Dressler would be an FA and Desjardins is already saying he is interested, but so is Taman. Anyway, all food for thought.- Friesen Looking for Kyle Walters Questions
I think the signing of Bryant really shows the management's confidence in the rookie receivers who are still around.- Jets Radio PBP switch-up on 1290
Find this a bit of a surprise. Wonder where the big push for Edmonds is coming from this year? It doesn't seem like Munz would have volunteered to go down to colour, after being the radio voice of Winnipeg hockey for so long.- The BEER thread
- The Great Grigsby
Grigsby certainly has some things he needs to work on, but I would say "The Bad" you came up with is pretty debatable. His speed is not an issue if you ask me. He can beat defenders if he has space to do so. I would also say that he is fine target for Willy, and his size is not an issue. I would trust Grigsby on almost any route pattern if they decided to use him that way. You eluded to mention his obvious struggle with breaking first contact, which will ultimately be his downfall at some point.- Riders unveil their "Signature Look" jersey
Wondering why the blue pants...this is the part that confuses me the most about these outfits.- Week 6 Depth Chart
What plays has Romby "screwed up" exactly, and why would you think that slotback is more important than the boundary receiver position? I must be missing something...- Don Matthews joins Als coaching staff
I am honestly a little surprised that Matthews accepted the position. At 75, I would have thought he'd want to be done with football once and for all. Not exactly an optimal situation he will be walking into in Montreal either.- Bombers release RB Will Ford

Logic says routing teams two weeks in a row is not in BC's favour. They had last week. This game will be closer than you think.- Best Gameplan to beat BC
Has Suber been injured at all this season? Or has he simply been sitting? He started on the one-game I believe but has been healthy for a couple of weeks at least.- Best Gameplan to beat BC
- Best Gameplan to beat BC
Which of our receivers do you see as the speed demons who will get the BC defenders into their backpedal immediately? I see our receivers more as possession receivers rather than fly pattern types. JFG has gotten wide open a few times but not because of his speed. Never said "speed demons", but they can run their routes clean and find space. It's never a flat-out foot race.- Best Gameplan to beat BC
Play the run to establish the pass. I really hope we can use a more consistent mix of play-action preferably in spread offensive formations. I like our speed vs their DBs in man coverage so we may able to exploit that if there is a constant threat of running the ball. It's once we feel the need to become one-dimensional that we may have a problem.- GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg
Not only that, but the way he focuses so hard on escaping a tackle/pressure the ball is usually vulnerable and often exposed. He'll be the root of a few turnovers if he doesn't protect the ball better.- Bonus Do or Die Detailed Half Time Report
No I don't think the OL was the biggest problem. Yeah they had some bad moments but the biggest problem by far were the receivers. There were times Willy had plenty of time to get the ball out and kept looking and looking and looking but no targets. Everything save for a couple passes were to check down options. And when he did get the ball away the receivers were as likely to drop it as they were to catch it. Grigsby served up 7 points failing to catch a pretty straight forward pass but instead he volleyed it up right to Willis who of course has an easy run into the endzone. When you have five receivers and the defence is dropping eight or nine guys into coverage on second and long because your first down play resulted in a loss or no gain, the math isn't that hard to figure out. Of course no one is going to be open. Even then, it seemed the d-line got pressure on Willy with relative ease.- Bonus Do or Die Detailed Half Time Report
O-line played poorly, but blocking in general was bad. Lining up double tights wasn't effective at all. There were at least a few plays that there was space between receivers and DBs but Willy was busy trying to escape the pressure. I found there was a general lack of adjustments to the offensive scheme. Lots of opportunities to run some screen plays. They could have also tried with any type of misdirection to get Willy moving. Really surprising they didn't even try to mix it up. - Muamba, Inman, Dressler, Sheets
