Bombers interested in Romby Bryant?
Yes, and where is Chad Simpson now? The guys who quit were called out last year too.

Bomber DI's?
Washington. But I believe Woods will dress. Washington is an unreliable yet occasionally spectacular punt returner, I really don't see him being the guy for that job in O'Shea's eyes unless something changes in-game, like Woods being injured.

Bomber DI's?
If Woods doesn't dress, who returns punts? If Will Ford ended up doing it I put the over/under on 2.5 punts before Mike O'Shea kills him for letting the ball hit the turf or bobbling the catch.

Tim Horton Field Update
Wait to see if they get permits to open in that state. IGF barely got the permits for the pre-season game last year, and they had to do a bunch of work in 3 days to get them, and that was a completed stadium. There's always little issues that crop up with the inspectors, and more chance of that happening with an incomplete structure.

Bombers interested in Romby Bryant?
We aren't lacking veteran receivers, we are lacking younger imports who can improve and maybe become something more than Kelly or Bryant are at this point in their careers. I could understand kicking the tires on a guy like Bryant if say Nick Moore was out for a month or something. Bringing in Romby on his last CFL legs rather than using those snaps on guys who could be that third imp receiver into 2015-2016 is disheartening. Pretty safe to say the scouting at receiver was a failure when none of the guys who attended training camp were even good enough to keep on the practice roster.

Oh those Eskimos
Lawless wouldn't even add the "don't you agree" to make it a question, he'd just make a statement and expect a response. I'm surprised nobody has told him to work on that since he's getting lots of air time on TSN, although the handing a player/coach a statement and expecting them to respond is becoming common.

There's something weird about Hervey though. Like why wouldn't he give a brief comment on a local junior player they signed? He didn't have to hold a press conference, just take 30 seconds out of the day to talk to a reporter on a cellphone. Other stuff media complains about is stupid. Is there going to be some burning question they need Willy to answer this week? Put everything to him the one day he's in front of cameras and move on.

No different from the Riders bringing in Geroy Simon last year... 2014 Bombers are going All in for the Grey Cup!

from all reports i've read, dressler has been impressing the chiefs very much. Haven't heard much but also haven't really looked for much about Matthews. I think generally Matthews is less likely to return and more likely to wait for another NFL shot even if the Seahawks cut him. Dressler has some pretty deep ties in Regina and he can make top CFL dollar.

But if they sign him you'll be okay with it. Enthusiastic even. Cute attempt to paint me with that fanboy brush but I've disliked rotten romby since his attitude Issues with Kelly (and by proxy the team and the other players n coaches) he was solid when he started here.. It's been down hill since he was here.. He's older, slower and less capable then when he was here and frankly, I always thought of him as a better brazzell.. So no.. No I won't be happy if he's the best we can do. I will not change my tune if he becomes a bomber.. For the millionth time, my opinions don't change on a player once they become a bomber.. If Im not a fan before, I'm not a fan after.. IE Kuale.. Always considered him a dirty player and slow for MLB.. I'm not a fan that he's our MLB.. at all.. I hear ya there SPuDs, was very underwhelmed with his signing but who else is there? I'm hoping he's keeping Henoc's place warm and when the Colts cut him in August and no one else is interested (hey, just my hope here) that he comes back to the bombers and makes his debut Labour Day or Banjo Bowl - it will be very easy to say to Kuale - "Hey, phone call, its Max Hall, he's looking for a roommate - interested?" I don't know, we just cut two guys who MOS admits we didn't even take a proper look at despite them looking pretty good in limited reps in Reed and Dell. Jaymar Johnson showed that he could get open quite consistently and make a catch, came back from a couple drops in the first game and was very good. Not to mention hundreds of guys south of the border who would love a call from their agent saying that a CFL team is interested. But instead we'll bring in a guy who hasn't been an above average import receiver since 2010 and has nowhere to go but down.

Pretty sad that we're resorting to Romby Bryant. It's not like we have any injuries at IMP receiver, gotta do better in the off-season.

Improving fan experience & traffic flow after games
I hope so. That free DD pop has been a boon to our experience at Jets games.

Only a matter of time....

Any ticket Sales Update?
Are they holding some seats specifically for walk-up? I ask because we moved our season tickets to a section that is light blue in that map, and our seats were the last two available in that section when we did that.
-
Improving fan experience & traffic flow after games
I hope the fans on the field stuff is really organized. When they had it in the past it was a free for all and quite dangerous for fans (ie people jumping from 10 feet onto concrete), players and everyone else on the field.

He started as a slot, mostly played WR since 09.

What's Danny McManus up to? Why not just keep Jaymar Johnson around? Replacing our current next to useless boundary WR with an older even more useless boundary WR rates pretty low on the excitement and team building meters.

Moe Leggett wins starting safety job
We have Markett in reserve too. Not sure if an IMP DB is going to factor in as the dime given the ratio issues, I'm assuming they'd want Anderson out there for most passing downs. Banks is used to playing on good teams, and even on good teams leaned toward malcontent tendencies. I'm not a huge fan of bringing him in or keeping him around for "leadership." We need to develop good players who are going to be good players when the team is good, if that makes sense.

CFL cuts
If you want to get a glimpse of Bryant's attitude, check his twitter feed and his feuds with former teammates. Guy is quiet as a church mouse, but seems to have another persona bubbling under that exterior.

Maher in Ottawa
Ottawa must be going import at kicker. They aren't going to get any better than Palardy off the NI scrap heap.

Starters in T.O.
I think Suber is a good candidate to be Ike Charlton'd. What are Suber and Banks' injuries? Youngerbetterguyneedsrosterspot-itis?

Ottawa @ Montreal
Angus Reid didn't even play last season, and wouldn't play this season even if he were healthy with Matt Norman emerging. They lose a veteran in Archibald, but he's been a pretty average player the last couple seasons.
-
Ottawa @ Montreal
Which ton of guys did BC lose? Traded Banks away, let Keron Williams walk, lost Demarco to Ottawa, lost Nick Moore in free agency. Added Khalif Mitchell, the most dominant single player in the CFL currently when he wants to be. Added Kevin Glenn, a better QB than anyone they had in 2013, including Lulay, Added Hunter Steward, while subtracting Patrick Kabongo. Added a pretty good looking NI receiver in Stephen Adekolu, along with SJ Haidara looking like an impactful offensive threat in his 2nd season. Don't sleep on BC.
