  1. Tons of ex-CFLers in the draft and on the neg list, or maybe zero. Pretty hard to have a discussion if you can't follow the thread.
  2. Glen Suitor better watch out! You're coming for his chair.
  3. Guess you'll just have to wait and see how many guys they add to the PR when it expands.
  4. No, my brain just works normally. Pull in a guy who's conditioned to play American football, give him 3 days to learn the playbook, good luck. You think Mo Legget is our defensive MVP because of his experience witrh the CFL game? Guys a straight up baller no matter what league it is. Talent trumps experience and we lack talent. Mo Leggett had a full training camp. Apples to oranges. Anyone they bring in at this point they are looking at for next season and will only play in desperate circumstances.
  5. You're talking about one player so let's close the door on the rest of them too.... Do you have a source on who the rest of these players are? Cause there's Matthews (not coming north), Hall (most likely not coming north, seems to be limited interest from both CFL teams and Hall), Hunt (injured) and Damaso Munoz.

  7. Which is complete and utter horseshit for the half way point of the season in the heat of a playoff race. It's this kind of attitude that gets you eat'in alive by the press. I'd bet my life that O'Shea hasn't spent one second thinking about how the press will react to anything since the season started. Why? Because it is completely inconsequential to his job of winning football games. Dropping 5 NFL cuts onto the field next week has a high probability of affecting that outcome negatively.
  8. If you want trades and player movement, watch hockey or baseball. Football is a stand pat sport during the season. Mike is absolutely right, and to add on to that, the team with the player currently on their PR can just make a simple paper transaction to move the player onto their 46 man roster and block the claiming team. You need the player and their current team to agree for the player to change teams, and you have to activate that player yourself.
  9. I would have rather played Lulay. Lulay will never be the same. He'll be lucky if he retains sensation in his arm after so many shoulder surgeries.
  10. The competition at defensive line and receiver was abysmal, arguably two of the easier spots to find players along with running back. I'm fine with giving a pass on finding Canadians, that takes time, but literally no one was found at receiver and one guy was found at DL, a guy who has been pretty marginal. Mack found Jeffers-Harris, Carr, Denmark and Matthews in his first 3 seasons, Hopkins, Turner, Vega, Hall, hell even a guy like Kenny Mainor. I've seen nobody close to any of those guys. Hopefully we start seeing some guys at those two spots that give us some hope for being useful players when we'll be a great team, cause Bryant and Kelly sure won't be those guys, and Greg Peach probably won't be either.
  11. At best he's a complimentary guy IMO. Plug him into a Will Ford in Regina type role, and he'd be a good player. Having him as the only tailback on the roster is a handicap.
  12. Honestly reading Lawless' last two columns of last week, one on the Jets, one on the Bombers, I couldn't believe someone gets paid to write like that. It's like he has a template and just plugs different names in, terribly lazy garbage. He really needs a reporting gig, cause the columnist one just isn't his forte.
  13. We're short about 5 good players on offence (2 import receivers, a tailback and a couple OL) and a couple on D. Hard to expect consistency given the roster. Guys like Kelly and Bryant are just average CFLers, and that's being generous, and yes Kelly is spectacular for the one game in each half of the season he makes an appearance in. Grigsby gets worse the more carries he gets, which is the opposite kind of RB you need to win, I'll take a guy with 15 carries for 5 yards a piece over a guy who gains 2 yards 7 times and busts one for 35 yards.
  14. No kidding. Just imagine what would happen if Jake Thomas went down.
  15. You are completely wrong. Look at where the Riders points came from in both games in Winnipeg. Offence didn't put up enough points in the first game and gave up 2 direct TDs, special teams did the same yesterday. If the O and ST don't hand the Riders points, both games in Winnipeg are easy Bomber wins even with 200 rushing yards against.
  16. 100 yard games by individual backs. They've been alternating 2 and 3 backs in almost every game this season.
  17. Running or passing, doesn't really matter, if a team is consistently making first downs the clock runs at the same rate outside of the last 3 minutes of each half.
  18. Kuale makes almost zero positive plays in his position, and continually costs the team with undisciplined play, not just penalties either. He's pretty much as bad as it gets even before he hands the other team 60 free yards.
  19. 2 home games vs the Riders, Bomber defense gave up 17 TOTAL points that weren't off turnovers. The rest, 36 points, came from special teams and turnovers. Defense did more than enough for the Bombers to win both games in Winnipeg against Saskatchewan. The games in Winnipeg were handed to the Riders.
  20. JuranBoldenRules replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    I'd go one size bigger unless you want it to be skin tight. The newer jerseys are fitted, the older ones were oversized.
  21. Only if Hall and the police are exaggerating. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865610067/EX-BYU-quarterback-Max-Hall-arrested-in-shoplifting-drug-case.html
  22. Coehoorn and Chambers...Etienne and Pencer. Thanks Joe!
  23. Celebrating a sack when down 2 TD's where the QB basically laid on the turf by himself anyways.....yep, pretty confident Edmonton will be well under .500 in this half of the season.
  24. MOP- Willy MODP- Leggett MOC- Hajrullahu MOOL- Greaves MOR- Hajrullahu MOSTP- Hajrullahu
  25. It's a sad thought, but Romby Bryant isn't even the worst import receiver on our roster. Hard to believe that a 6'5 guy can go missing on a football field. I expect receiver to be one of the main areas we see guys added when the PR expands, even with a few extra imports already around. We don't really have that big target type, and Kelly sure as hell doesn't play like one even if he should be one.
