I would like to post a fresh thread to talk about the Bomber's recievers, first i would like to point out a fact and that is many people are saying we should have kept Armstrong, why? Any player who is a distraction should not play, plain and simple, he was given a job to do and he refused to do it, just a poor sport, whiner and distraction. He needed to be cut or his negative attitude and refusal to play would have rubbed off on the rest of the team, he is a good reciever, but there is a reason no one has signed him yet and that's because no team want a distraction on there team. Bruce was a distraction in T.O and The Cats picked him up and his attitude is just fine there and he is going to have an awesome year in steel town, BB'S should have went for Bruce, oh well.
ALL Bomber reciever's have to crank it up a notch or two, Bishop has a cannon and will throw farther than most expect, i noticed last game, most of the passes were not over thrown, the reciever's didn't run hard enough to catch the pig skin. With Bishop at QB, the reciever's need to adjust to his throwing ability and Bishop should not have to adjust his throws, reciever's have 2 games under there belt with Bishop at QB and they did not run fast enough, the effort was not there, i counted at least 2 throws that were a couple of yards longer and if the reciever's made more of an effort to catch up to the ball, they might of been game breaking TD'S.
Edwards - is doing OK, is injured (again) and i hope he gets healthy soon, we need him and he needs to be the Edwards of 2008, he is under achieving this year, he needs to step it up.
Bryant - I believe he is having a poor year so far, could it be the sophmore jinx or was he lucky last year, either way we know he can catch the ball and is another guy who needs to step it up a notch.
Bowman - I believe Bowman is a pretty good reciever, he made the catches and got open alot, he can be a better reciever if the two mentioned above step it up because i don't know how many times i seen him open and Bishop went the other way. Bad drop in the endzone against CGY, he needs to catch that ball.
Ralph - Not bad, but not great ... he needs to work harder on the field and in practice to stay on the starting roster when Franklin returns, i believe we are missing Franklin big time.
We need to bring in another reciever to replace Bowman if Bowman starts crapping the bed. NFL cuts are already under way, we need to find a SOLID pass catcher, also i feel the reciever's need more confidence, looks like they are lacking without Milt and they need to put it behind them. I liked the way Kelly used Reid and Bernard in the swing pass and play action, he needs to keep that play.
