August 11, 20159 yr comment_141548 Being hopeful, any chance we can establish a strong run game with Marshall and Scott? Running the ball seems the one area Marcel has had success in.
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141553 The team needs a good crowd now more than ever. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet. Brohm or Marve, I'll be there.
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141554 Running game needs to be strong but I fully expect the game plan to be pass pass pass pass pass pass pass.... you get the point. I'd be shocked if 10 run plays were called because really that's about as many as we have seen called each of the last few games. Using 2 backs yet only giving them a combined 10 to 15 carries. Just stupidity and I don't think it changes
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141557 If we don't lean heavily on the run..have sets with both of those backs in together and use the run and sprint outs and roll outs or option type stuff to help ease Marve into things then MB should be canned the next morning. We have the online to really dominate with a run game if you committed to it and played to it. Marshall is a strong sturdy hard running back who will wear a defense down and if he is working into the teens in carries by third quarter I can see him busting big ones late in game

I'm thinking whoever starts gets injured.
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141593 If Moore is healthy and back this week, I think the Bombers should start Moore, Denmark, Veltung, Gordon and Kohlert. 4-import receivers instead of 3 import and 2 Cdns. JFG is the lone backup Cdn receiver. Roster a 7th OL (Greaves) instead of Bastien (or Cronk). Stoudermire may stay on the roster as backup Imp Rec and return guy, so sit Littlejohn to met the limit of 20 imports. On D, If Turner and Peach is back, sit D.Johnson and Fraser. The rest else stays the same.
August 11, 20159 yr Author comment_141596 Sign Jamel Richardson!That's not a bad idea with Darvin Adams out a while.
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141598 Not to start the whole "better fan" arguement is anyone else kinda sickened by the "if brohm starts i stay home" bullplop? Nope. I was debating it myself, same debate I had when Boltus was with us. To me thats crazy. I go to see all three aspects of my team play, not just the QB. I kinda keep hope alive that brohm or marve will step up, false hope that it is but still want to be in the stands.. *shrug*
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141599 My hope is that Marve can pull off a few Bishop type games, not the most amazing stats but a big run or two and a couple of long bomb connections and we pull it out. Plus he's more exciting to watch. Brohm, no excitement and really offers you jack. Brohm is just one of those guys who needs to make 10 or so good throws in a row to score a touchdown. You can get away with that when you're Ricky Ray or Kevin Glenn, but not when you're Brian Brohm. Well.. That and if we had an oline capable of giving him 3+ each down..
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141603 Sign Jamel Richardson!That's not a bad idea with Darvin Adams out a while. Agree on that. Problem is we dont use 4-import receivers. So it will be Moore, Veltung and Denmark.
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141626 Doesn't matter if it's Marve or Brohm - no Willy = no chance IMO The ghost of Rocky Butler disagrees with you. What the heck does Rocky Butler have to do with Drew Willy or Marve or Brohm? No prob, for those who haven't followed the CFL for very long, I will explain. See back in, I'm going to say 2006 but I don't care enough to verify the season, Saskatchewan was forced to start a backup QB against the Bombers in the LDC. Now most Bomber fans felt pretty good about the team's chances as they thought Butler wasn't much of a QB. Turns out that lowly backup QB was good enough to get a win for the Riders with the help of his team, even though he really wasn't much of a QB. And the point is that there are dozens of examples of backup QBs that inspire little confidence having enough things go right to pull out a win. Including QBs in Bomber jerseys. This got my curiosity up so I had to go digging. 2002 was the year. http://cfl.ca/statistics/statsGame/id/1205
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141641 Trouble is that most of those lowly backups, turn out to be one hit wonders.....
August 11, 20159 yr comment_141656 Trouble is that most of those lowly backups, turn out to be one hit wonders..... Well if Marve gets us a hit, Davis another hit and we keep going this could work.

The problem with your scenario is that we would need nine more quarterbacks to finish the season plus more for the playoffs.
August 12, 20159 yr comment_141692 I'm curious to see Marve play. I definitely think he will bring some excitement to the offense. At the same time I fear he may try to force things a little too much. I've said it before, it's not that I really want Marve to play, I just don't want to see Brohm play.
August 12, 20159 yr comment_141696 Wonder if portis comes back Yes, we are so desperate that this is not inconceivable.

August 12, 20159 yr comment_141703 Wonder if portis comes back Yes, we are so desperate that this is not inconceivable. "Inconceivable" can also apply to a woman who cannot get pregnant...or is that "inscrutable"?
August 12, 20159 yr comment_141704 Wonder if portis comes back Yes, we are so desperate that this is not inconceivable. Portis didn't really demonstrate enough good or bad to make a rational decision on him in the amount of playing time he was alotted during TC. He'd likely still be sitting on the PR if Davis hadn't come loose from Cgy.
August 12, 20159 yr comment_141707 A couple of thoughts on this.........If MOS announces that Brohm is playing, the stadium will be littered with empty seats. Marve is short on experience and playing time, but it's time to see what, if anything, he can do. Also, the crowd will be there if it's announced that he's playing. I also agree with a number of the posts regarding the OC position. We need a new one. We did nothing to counter the repeated blitzes and odd man rushes Hamilton ran against us, and we lost our most valuable player as a consequence. That's all on the OC. Trouble is.....at this point in the season throwing away the play book and starting over is not an option either.
August 12, 20159 yr comment_141709 Everyone's favourite player is the backup QB in football and the backup goalie in hockey. Why is that? Because people can always hope that he will be better. The less they play the better they become.
