June 12, 2013: Toronto Argonauts vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers

maybe next time Pierce can just leave his red practice jersey on when he takes the field. Bomber fans grasping as straws here....

Trevor Harris 8 of 11 for 115 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT Made a strong case for the #2 spot. I assume the fact he started the game means that they think of him as the #2 at this point.

I would suggest that since they look like they're gonna go to Collaros in short yardage situations this year, that that gives him the inside track on the #2 spot. He's going to get playing time lining up at QB in every game, while Harris continues to be kick holder.

I would also say as a general principle, given that Harris and Collaros both seem to be pretty equal as passers, that we go with the guy who's the better ball carrier at #2. I remember we thought this was the case last year too, but Jarius never seemed to want to take off with the ball when he often should have.

Burke was told ahead of time by Milanovich that the Argo D would be blitzing...

Then the Bombers really have no excuses and I have no problem with what the Argos did. I do remember Don Matthews when he was with the Als blitzing the old Renegades during the preseason and they weren't happy about it but I am guessing that he didn't give them any warning.

[Do or Die]

Actually I have 0 problem with it, at all...

This is football not cricket. Some of the reaction to this thing, back in the Peg, is just a total joke.

If you don't blitz in the preseason, then you don't have any chance to work any kinks out in the blitz or to check out who is good at blitzing among your new personnel. Waiting until the regular season to find out is not a solution. Winnipeg has nothing to complain about.
