It might have been Ed Tait’s work originally, but I recall reading that teams are now planning to defend against Glenn’s quick release by dropping 8 or 9 back to defend against the pass. This would cause Glenn to force the ball into a receiver, says Tait. Only if he, Glenn, is stupid, say I.
What about other offensive options in this case? Your own rollout and run. Or a pitch to Charlie Roberts, the halfback trailing you or to your side. It does point to the advantage of having a running QB. Is it my recollection only or do the Blue always do better when KG will take off and run from time to time, keeping everyone honest. Coach Berry, maybe we just need to work with Kevin on perfecting the slide.
I hear that Doug Brown writes all his own stuff. Plus a weekly radio show Mondays at 8:00 pm locally on CJOB Am. The longevity of it all is what I admire. Other’s come and go. Doug’s always in print or on the air. Doug’s columns at the WFP
Another Bomber becomes a print star.

This was a comment I made in my mock interview with Brendan and Coach Berry below. I salute the Bombers for showing me they mean it. I’m doing some work now with a non-profit organization in Winnipeg that provides gainful employment activities for those recovering from mental illness. Just yesterday I contacted the Bombers about possible tickets for an upcoming game for our workers and volunteers, plus I mentioned that we are looking for possible spokespeople for our organization to help in fundraising. “Doug Brown, Milt, Kevin, are you listening”. However, back to tickets. Within 30 minutes the call came back from Carolyn at the Bomber office that we had a whole raft of tickets available for the July 11th game against B.C. And you should have seen the faces light up at our place, including mine. Thank you Blue!

Getting picked to go to the Grey Cup puts the big mark on your back for other teams to target you. It will test the maturity level of this team in living with the “favoured by the pundits” label when/if things go badly for a while. As any coach will tell you, a little swagger is a good thing, too much and you make the other teams want to hurt you even more. Are we starting another dominating few years for the Bombers in the league (late 50’s,early 60’s, early 90’s or are those days gone forever in a league where teams can rebuild almost overnight? (ed. comment)
It’s not often a team that a team can lose a top offensive threat and still not skip a beat. But such is the case with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers face the prospect of starting the regular season minus stellar slotback Milt Stegall. The …
