July 11, 20168 yr Author comment_207751 Ignore that last post... The mobile version was being weird and not letting me post properly. Couple things in response to this thread... That Berry-era OL was awesome and made better by Glenn quick release attack. Also, having said all that, I would really love to go back and watch some games from 07. Man that was a special team...

Lets not get carried away... 2008 was a miserable first half - Blink couldn't get past LOS, Glenn was getting beat up pretty good
July 11, 20168 yr Author comment_207802 again, tho, compared to late 90s-2005, and 2009-now.........it was a real good OL.

July 11, 20168 yr comment_207877 The line in 2000 and 2001 was OK but they got old and poor in a hurry and by 02 and 03 they were getting khari killed
July 11, 20168 yr Author comment_207885 ****, the dropoff with Big Mo Elewonibi was brutal.....when he started falling off, it was right off a cliff.
July 12, 20168 yr comment_207923 I like in 2002 we were scoring TD so fast that he would go down after extra points letting the d rest as the trainers attended to him

It was a decent team, but teams were beginning to clue in on their scheme - chickens came home roost in '08
July 12, 20168 yr comment_207977 Taman "developmental" plan came home to roost in 2008......somewhat like the Riders in 2015...

After the Joe Smith trade, that was a team on a roll... If you give Taman and Berry another season, we're not in the mess we are now... his 2008 draft was actually really good.

If they hadn't been so thoroughly picked apart by Ricky Ray in the east semi-final, that team might have survived another year. But they were and they didn't.
July 12, 20168 yr comment_207990 Dumb front loaded contracts to declining vets, various import recruiting fails, and no #1 CDN draft pick for 7 straight years...... we are talking about the same GM, right? People are still pining for this guy? Good grief.

Berry was a marked man but he didn't help his own cause very much. Kelly has to be one of the worst hires as HC in 'Bomber history- right up there with Reinbold and Zaleski.

You can make the same argument that Taman's 2007 Bomber team was similar to his 2013 Sask team... Taman would be a hero around here if that 2007 game went differently... doesn't make his strategy any better, however...

Taman didn't invent this salary dodge and it was probably his best/only option for a cash-poor team- Bauer threw nickels around like manhole (sorry, personhole) covers.

If Milt Stegall was collecting lifetime royalties every time a bomber scored a TD I wouldn't care. The man provided so much entertainment for us fans he can beat me up and steal my wallet and I'll thank him for the honour.
