August 1, 201410 yr comment_70382 Hard to believe Toronto didn't want him - Would they ever like to have him now, especially considering their injuries.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70384 Best thing about JFG stepping up is when Watson comes back he does not have to play all the snaps.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70394 Hard to believe Toronto didn't want him - Would they ever like to have him now, especially considering their injuries.  Wasn't he a free agent? I believe he is the only player that O'Shea probably recruited himself.

I don't see any reason whatsoever to take JFG out for Watson at this point.  Watson is still a better player than JFG. Moore and Watson will be big upgrades to the receiving core once they are both healthy.  Kohlert is also a steady NI receiver, but if anyone may be relegated to the 3rd NI receiver it would be him IMO.  I know I'm going to take flack because Kohlert is essentially the new Stoddard (actually, more skilled than Stoddard), but all of our receivers catch the ball extremely well.

Regardless, its a pretty good problem to have. Gone are the days of us starting Brock Ralph and Aaron Hargreaves.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70415 One of the things Watson brings is his ability to block. Nobody pushes him around. It's a very under appreciated part of his game.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70417 Lets not kid ourselves, Watson actually in the lineup, makes us a far more dangerous receiving corps, and upgrades blocking down field.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70424 Speaking of honourable mention... how about that catch by JFG on the 3 with seconds left in the game.... to hang on to the ball while getting blasted by the safety was incredible.... huge atonement for the fumble earlier... He got up & the safety didn't for a few seconds... He was seeing stars. That was funny. Guy thought he'd blast JFG & instead he got blasted.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70427 Speaking of not kidding ourselves: if and when Watson comes back we could very well have someone else injured. Â It just gives us one more option with ratio. Â We have the ability to start 3 Americans on the OL, we have Canadians who can play effectively in the secondary, and we have three Canadian receivers who are capable of being every down players.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70445 The point I was trying to make is you have the ability now to limit his snaps and take some stress of his body. Does not have be that #1 Canadian receiver you can rotate in and out Kohlert JFG and Watson. Kohlert has also really improved his blocking makes a lot of down field blocks.

Does not have be that #1 Canadian receiver you can rotate in and out Kohlert JFG and Watson. Kohlert has also really improved his blocking makes a lot of down field blocks. is that worth it though? I don't think Watson gets hurt because of the wear and tear on his body so much as sometimes he just breaks. Limiting his reps likely doesn't do much to keep him healthier and he is flat out better than all our other NI receivers so I think you play him until he's hurt and then at least we know we have another decent options coming in.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70461 even when the offence was sputtering, when we got the ball back in 1:40 there's something about Drew Willy that made me go "OK, we got this". It's a feeling I haven't had as a Bomber fan in a loooooong time. Usually I'd just get the opposite when we were up by 5 or 6 with a couple of minutes to go against a Ricky Ray or Anthony Calvillo. It's nice. Â And JFG. Holy hell. What a grab. There's some surprises on this team that have me really excited.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70467 Been a while I have seen a young QB so comfortable in 3 min situations. I think he has gotten points in 5 of 6 game inside 3 mins in the first half and in BC would have if not for the bad sneak. And the 3 games where he need to get points in the final 3 min has done it. Would be interesting to see his QB rating in those pressure situations.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70535 Mike O'Shea has already said they are going to ease Watson into games when he's able to play.
August 1, 201410 yr comment_70552 Watson has a problem with hamstring issues. For many athletes it is a hard thing to deal with, and usually not enough healing time allowed.
