Posted August 25, 20177 yr comment_286243 Just a fun look at our stat projections for the season, predicting award nominees from the team etc. Bombers on track to go 14-4. The top 3 in the west are 20-4, with bc and calgary having a game each to play before the half way mark. Crazy domination from the top 3. Nichols on track for 5.282 yards (which would be 4th or lower some how) 34 tds and 10 picks Harris on track for 1,140 rushing (career high) 8 tds (career high) and 980 yards receiving (durp) on 108 catches (4th highest in the league) Darvin adams on track for 1,294 yards on 98 catches with 10 tds. Thorpe (with games played factored in) is on track for 900+ yards. Randle on track for 60 tackles, 6 picks and 2 sacks. Heath on track for 62-8. And about 100 dropped picks Westerman 12 sacks, Nevis 30 tackles 2 sacks. Mo on track for 64 tackles 6 sacks 2 picks 6 forced fumbles 2 recoveries. Awards. ROTY, i believe the following are all eligible but im not sure. Jeffcoat, Poop, and Thorpe. Id give it to poop. Hes soo good hes forced us to change the ratio and start him over jake. We tried starting jake and still sorely missed the big guy. MODP, Mo. Nuff said. MOSTP, medlock. Only 32/39 this year. With a long of 57. 43.6 yard punting average, 65.4 yard kick off average. MOOL. Bond. MR.Bond. MOP, Another year mo deserves mention. Quietly one of the best defensive players in the league. Medlock, despite a more human year then last year. But in this, the (half) year of the QBs where we could see 6 qbs pass 5k passing yards, on a team truly lead by nichols im gonna go with nichols.
August 25, 20177 yr comment_286282 I had a selfish moment last night watching the game seeing Nichols throw the Hail Mary on the last play before half and getting an INT. Another 3 TD's and some GREAT decision making from Nichols. We have a confident offense where Nichols will not force the ball. He gives his receivers the chance to make plays.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286286 Jeffcoat played NFL games so not eligible for rookie. MOP- Harris MOC- Harris MODP- Randle Lineman- Bryant ST- Medlock Rookie- Nobody running with it yet

Randle is long over due for some consideration for modp as well.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286372 Matty Ice is playing smart, safe, clutch football. His TD:pick and win:loss ratios are both BLMish. He's been great to watch. But no way Harris is not our MOP. He's been special. Teams know we're going to feature him, team key on him, and he still makes his plays, game in game out. Countless times we have been second-and-short and the entire stadium knows he's getting the ball and we make the first down anyway. Been ages since we've had a player able to impose his will like that. And I love the way he forces the D to respect play action and other fakes.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286443 Just regarding MOP and the like, there is (as always) some great info here from Ed Tait in "Upon Further Review", in regards to how well Nichols is playing right now... https://www.bluebombers.com/2017/08/26/upon-review-wpg-34-mtl-31/

August 26, 20177 yr comment_286470 DT is almost never going to get consideration for an award like that. It's Thorpe right now, no question...

August 28, 20177 yr comment_286705 MOP - Nichols ... only competitor is Harris but luckily he had his own category... MOC - Harris ... is there really anyone who thinks it should be someone else?... MODP - Randle ... Leggett definitely in the running... ST - Medlock... see note on Harris above... OL - Bryant.... Bond is great, Chungh is great... actually they're all pretty damn good... but IMO Bryant is the anchor of the line... MOR - Thorpe... leaning towards Poop... but @Noeller convinced me that a DT isn't sexy enough for the award....

August 28, 20177 yr comment_286752 MOR - Walker ST - Medlock (but giving Fogg some consideration) MODP - Leggett (Randle is another option) MOL - Bryant (some consideration to Bond) MOC - Harris MOP - Nichols

August 28, 20177 yr comment_286776 Rookie: Poop (honorable mention Thorpe) ST: Medlock (honorable mention to Mike Miller on cover team) Defensive: Mo (HM: Randle) OL: Bond (HM: Goose) MOC: Harris (HM: no one really even close to Harris IMO) MOP: Nichols (toss up between him and Harris to me)

We are 3rd, but with games in hand it could be true. The difference between 3rd most and 3rd fewest is slim. Also nichols doesnt take risks throwing the ball away. He is not afraid to take a sack. But our OL sans wiley hasnt been as good as last year. Its had spurts of that same production, but also spurts where they struggle to pick up the blitz. Especially seems to be an issue in the red zone. Other teams seem to send pressure when we get to the red zone and leave us kicking a FG.

Walker is still out so good chance Roc will be rotating. If you read between the lines of O'Shea's canny riddles, we can also expect to be "Poopless" in Regina.
