Reid won’t be sitting duck
This is the time of the year when the quality of the backup and practice roster players the player personnel staff have assembled, can prove to be critical. Especially so when injuries hit your best players at the same time.
It’s the biggest game of the year so far and we likely will have Fred Reid replacing Charlie Roberts, Doug Brown may be out with a freak eye injury, and Juran Bolden who was going to give the defence some attitude has been out for two games already. Punter Rob Pikula has another so called freak injury in practice this week and he is gone. Next thing you know we’ll see Dinwoodie playing quarterback. The personnel staff can take a bow if the team puts out a top performance on Saturday.
If they don’t however, speaking as a fan, I don’t see that we can blame injuries. Teams are supposed to be built with solid depth (read: more than one quarterback too) and with character people who can dig a little deeper when the money games start.
Go Fred. You’ve got a lot of folks talking about your talent. Protect the ball like it’s a live duck!
By the way, what really is wrong with Bolden that doesn’t allow him to play, and what actually happened to Pikula? When are the traditional media in this town going to start asking some tougher questions about what is going on behind the scenes with this team or are we just too small a town for actual reporting to work. Here’s hoping the dangerous Dominique Dorsey, and a Bomber this spring, doesn’t break one against us on special teams this week.
