    I just hope we hear the name Harris a whole lot on Friday night's broadcast.... examples: "Harris is sacked, again!" "Harris takes the hand-off 20 yards for the score!" "Harris is picke

  • I don't see how it proves anything either way.  A win over Ottawa doesn't make the Bombers contenders and a loss doesn't mean they are pretenders.  It's just another game against a decent team, on the

They've lost 4 games by 10 points. Their offense is really good. Harris is a great QB. Their defense leaves a lot to be desired though. I think we should be able to move the ball on them. Can't take them lightly because of their record.. They could still bear anybody. 

I just don't see that. He's able to get the job done for sure. But Great? I don't get it.

I agree with the rest of your statement though. Can't sleep on Ottawa. Don't think they'll make much noise in the 2nd half of the year but I do think they will surprise a few teams from time to time. Play hard nose ball and they'll fold.

I've always been higher on him then most but I think he's borderline elite.

meh, we've put up more points (+5) then ottawa and we've played 1 less game than them which included that 10 point stinker we put up vs Calgary.  If there is one thing the Bombers have shown this season so far is we can go toe to toe with most, if not every team in the league offensively.  Defensive has been our issue giving up too much in return.  

That said, Alexander and Johnson in for Walker and Carmichael in the secondary and Leggett back at SAM should make us a hellova lot better this week defensively. Hopefully Medlock shakes off his last 2 outings and i can see us winning by 10

You have to look only at points scored by the offense - Ottawa has the lead by a whopping +1. Both teams have played 5 games. Btw, the RB's have played Calgary twice.

Didn't you hear though? We have a terrible offense and Nichols is a scrub. Averaging close to 35 points a game just won't cut it in the CFL ;)

These aren't your uncles Bombers! I actually feel confident The Fever, and Davis could hold their own if Nichols got hurt. 

I tend to agree, this is probably the best qb depth weve seen since KG backed up khari. And I dont even know before that. I think fever could pick up pretty well if nichols was hurt. Davis' lack of action would scare me greatly if he went in atm. Though he probably has more up side then fever. 

But the PTSD wont subside soo easily from seeing solid - good starters go down and pure bunk come in after. Not any time soon. :wacko:

The fact that we have stability at the QB position means we can develop Davis properly. I'm glad he hasn't seen much real game time because we've had some good QB prospects in the past that were either rushed into action or had a terrible terrible offensive line behind them. Hopefully in a year or two Davis will be a starting QB in this league.

Getting pressure on him early is going to be crucial, being on the road and all. Another hot start like Thursday night (getting an early turnover, for example) would be huge.

Fingers crossed Leggett and Johnson are back, too. That'll help the secondary immensely.

Very pleased that they've used LeFevour in a few situations this year that make use of his mobility advantage, showing LaPo realizes his value as a dangerous weapon close to the goal line and that they're not caught up on a fixed QB pecking order.  Use all weapons.

I'm sure you meant a terrible OL in front them, but with some of those OLs, behind is a more appropriate description.

The Bombers have cured the Red zone blues haven't they?

Don't know how or why, since La Police is such a terrible play caller.:rolleyes:

Kent Austin is not going anywhere- he still has two years on a very fat contract and he is buddies with the owner. The Çats lost a very good offensive coordinator (Condell) and a very good defensive coordinator in short order and have not replaced them with anywhere as capable people. If there has to be a scapegoat, it will likely be Tillman. Collaros is the highest-paid player in the CFL and is arguably the worst starting QB in the league.
