June 5, 201312 yr comment_2998 I can appreciate it when a player is vocal and speaks up about something that they may not be comfortable with. It's better than being a "yes" man and not asking any questions. Good feedback from your players is a healthy way of establishing trust with them.
June 6, 201312 yr comment_3046 Hopefully todays play of our dbs continues for the rest of TC and the season, with Coach Burke around now I don't see todays effort as an aberration. I'm sure once Sears is healthy the Bombers will be fine with their SAM position. As for a hypothetical trade with the Argos, I'd go for Pavlopoulos, a 1st and an I.O.U designated as a QB for Ricky Ray. That has to be better than what Jyles ended up doing in Edmonton right ?
June 6, 201312 yr comment_3071 I think the only thing that matters here, is the coaches know what's best, not the players. Yeah, agree. The coaches make the decisions. Not the players.
June 6, 201312 yr comment_3079 When Hef and Johnson are on top of they're game, they're pretty much the most shut down tandem in the league. I certainly hope this is the case again this season! I wont be surprised at all if they still replace Suber with Washington.... We need someone who can create turnovers in that spot, as well as shut down recievers in coverage. I think Washinton can be that guy for us.
June 6, 201312 yr comment_3219 suber continues to be the most underrated player in the league. Is it because he's short?
June 6, 201312 yr comment_3224 suber continues to be the most underrated player in the league. Is it because he's short? makes it easy to overlook him.. bah-dum *ching!* I think his lack of picks plus being behind JJ and Hef but not being a egotistical maniac makes it very easy to under-rate him..
June 7, 201312 yr comment_3318 suber continues to be the most underrated player in the league. Is it because he's short? Because he doesn't create turnovers. He can't play the ball that well... Maybe somebody who knows can tell us how many knockdowns he has? Because his 1 interception that was thrown right to him is pretty underwhelming
June 7, 201312 yr comment_3319 Because he doesn't create turnovers. He can't play the ball that well... Maybe somebody who knows can tell us how many knockdowns he has? Because his 1 interception that was thrown right to him is pretty underwhelming Suber had one pass knockdown last year. But he also only gave up 4 catches beyond 20+ yards, which was best on the team. Also worth mentioning, receivers didn't break one tackle on him last year. ALSO worth mentioning, he actually lead the team in tackles for a loss last year with 6.
June 7, 201312 yr comment_3324 as some of us have been saying for a while, Suber = one of the most underrated players in the league...
June 7, 201312 yr comment_3326 If anyone is curious about who led our team (and the league) in pass knockdowns ... it was Johnny Sears. Sears -- 10 Korey Banks -- 10 Eddie Russ -- 9 Byron Parker -- 8 Patrick Watkins -- 8 Dee Webb -- 7 Joe Burnett -- 7 Keon Raymond -- 7 Ryan Phillips -- 7 Next on the Bombers was Hefney with 5. (which was still top 15 in the league, only 4 players had 6)

June 7, 201312 yr comment_3335 as some of us have been saying for a while, Suber = one of the most underrated players in the league... Watching him frustrate Richardson is priceless. Suber give up like 6+ inches but is in his kitchen the whole game.

Because his 1 interception that was thrown right to him is pretty underwhelming yeah but turnovers and knockdowns aren't everything, the guy sticks to people as well as anyone and maybe better. He's not flashy but in terms of stopping the passing game, he's easily one of the most effective players on the team. Stop basing player evaluations on the glory stats.

June 10, 201312 yr comment_3556 The difference is Suber has good speed, good feet and good cover skills. Playing DH is a lot more difficult than Corner. JJ gambles too much when you guess right u get picks, wrong and it's 6 against. Hef relies too much on his ability to close and gets in chase mode too much. Similar to Cox. Cox is no longer playing DH for that vert reason.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3557 He is undersized and as such will always get less credit than he should for being extremely effective. For another example Jets fans can see: Enstrom, Tobias.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3562 Similar to Cox. Cox is no longer playing DH for that vert reason. Chip Cox? When did he play DH? The Als' depth chart has him at SAM last season (just like previous years) but he was dropping back into coverage more than in previous years.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3579 Cox came into the league as a DH. He was moved to SAM over the last 2 seasons largely because A) his aggressive play is better suited to playing in the box 2) his aggressive play was getting him beat at half.
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3801 Wasn't Cox replaced at halfback by Dix? Just saying. and I believe there were more then a few pun related jokes at that point as well..
