If not and it was a block and on the dirty side, well tbh ill take some nasty edge out side of the OL. You have limited ability to be physical and make an impact. If its a full on cheap shot, thats not cool. If its similar to what weve seen out of our OL getting down field and smashing guys trying to get in on the back of the play im all for it. I didn't see the play either, just saw a few tweets about it. I love the edge but would rather not have our own guys getting hurt. Save that for the guys in green tonight!

"Gotta keep your head on a swivel when you find yourself in the middle of a vicious cock fight.... " Every championship team has a couple guys that other teams players hate to play against. That physical, nasty guy who goes out of his way to mash defenders. 1 or 2 skill players who do that leads to the whole group of offensive skill players doing it a lot more. A lot of times the difference between a big play and nearly a big play is a skill player making an un expected block. A a lot of positions are dog fights for roster spots. We have a great amount of talent, but the grit behind the talent is whats going to push the team to the next level.

June 7, 20196 yr comment_395422 Ed Tait was really talking up Nichols despite the overthrows. How much do we still trust Tait?
June 7, 20196 yr Author comment_395427 Ed Tait has covered the Bombers thoroughly and probably is the best writer (potentait) covering any team in the league. When you cover a team as much, you’re bound to show some bias, but that doesn’t mean he turns a blind eye. He has had some doubts on players and I’ve heard him express them. On Nichols, I’m sure he sees some flaws but it was very important for Nichols to have worked in that game yesterday and Tait recognizes that. Enigma, that’s our boy Nichols.
June 7, 20196 yr comment_395431 I'm not down on Nichols based on a couple of overthrows with an incredible wind. His reads were fast and correct and eventually he got into a pretty decent groove.
June 7, 20196 yr comment_395435 Nichols will be fine...has regained mobility so isn't a stationary duck and that wind last night was tough to gauge....once settled in with his o-line..his regular skill guys, and the whole playbook...I'm not too concerned

Early in a preseason game I tend to put a lot of blame on the receivers and route running. If it's late in he game and the QB is still missing a reciever I tend to blame the QB. All in all another nice win and cant wait to get this season going!

He was with Irving who has turned a blind eye on poor play for the last while. That's why it used to be funny when Zalnasky would outright call him out and say how much a player stunk it up. I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on the play of Nichols. We all know that he has a weak arm so it doesn't surprise me that the wind caused some issues with him.
June 7, 20196 yr comment_395443 Going into wind was fine but with the wind the first couple were over thrown. But that had a a lot to do with wind and being little amped up.

June 7, 20196 yr comment_395450 Overthrows with a strong wind in his first game action of the year.... holy over reactions Batman!
June 7, 20196 yr comment_395451 EXACTLY...Plus people over look the fact the right read was made and the ball went to the right "open" guy...no wind those are both caught
