Regular Season Week 5 Winnipeg (0-4, 0-0 at home) vs Edmonton (3-1, 1-1 on the road) Date: Thursday July 26th Time: 7:30 local/6:30 Calgary TV/Radio: TSN / Winnipeg Radio / Edmonton Radio / ESPN3.com (US Coverage) Welcome Back Kotter...oh wait you mean they weren't supposed to be playing here? I hadn't heard... http://youtu.be/5VlGyMG0ksg So the Bombers return to the scene of the crime and walk in with a 4 game losing streak and 14 players injured including 10 starters. Alex Brink is getting the start tonight. Interesting to note that the Bombers are going with 8 non-import starters tonight with the return of Cory Watson. Edmonton is still riding the crazy offensive stylings of Steven Jyles who has been injured more than Buck Pierce. Living off the defense is their bread and butter right now. Burnett had a monster game last week and will grow that moving forward. Look for defense to be the star tonight with a couple of big plays. Looking forward to another week of CFL action with this as a kickoff! http://youtu.be/Sy6CZZGxyZE Enjoy!
Burke Dales has picked up a 15 yard tripping penalty on the first punt and now recovered the second punt. A beauty 24 yard blast that he dove on.
Good start by WPg (so far) Most likely bombers to be injured tonite: Simpson, Watson, Edwards, Browne, Hefney.... For Esks - Ted Laurent (exhaustion)
Decent first quarter for the bombers Only 2 gas-farts 1. The short punt recovery from Dales - can't blame the BB, Dales rarely punts 22 yds. 2. Fumble by Chad - he got hurt, really hurt. Now there's no backup import RB, just Riva the Diva.
Uh oh - early success going to Brink's head - he's starting to toss into passing lanes cluttered with arms, helmets and jumpin' jacks....
Brink played a good enuff first quarter to force Plop to continue using him into the 3rd quarter or later - Brink has started to turn into a 2 & out vermin!!! Brink seems timid to release the ball now that the Esks are catching on to Crowton's schemes.... Plop is too stubborn to insert Joey E. - if the bombers don't have more than 2 points in the half aren't you forced to start the other guy?
Brink needs to stop trying to force things. Otherwise the Bombers offense has done a lot more tonight than the Eskies which is the suspected outcome from all the previews. Bombers get their 6th first down.
Never thought I'd say this - I miss Jamie Barresi I miss Kitchen 'Kit' Cartwright Miss Dougeyman Berry
Brink is coming unglued. Chad Simpson washed off a block of a big monster, allowing Brink to feel heat and toss the obvious pick. Why does Brink throw so many picks?
What a string of events. A bad snap, a loose DE, a tipped pass and turned into a first CFL INT from a Prude. Don't worry Jyles overthrew two receivers and they give it back.
Battle of 2 vermin QBs - V. Jyles & V. Brink.... Leave it to Porky Plop to keep bangin' his Pig-head and play Brink!!!
Notice two things about Chad Simpson (5) 1. He don't like blocking 2. He don't like stayin' healthy Other than that, MOP, lol
