sweep the leg

I read that he's practicing with the 1st unit D. I also read that's a damning indictment of how bad their DL is.

Not sure if you listened to the press conference or not, but Miller said they're going to do a full GM search in the offseason.

That was my impression too. Pretty crazy how much Walters looks like Jim from the office.

The "I feel betrayed" comment was a little melodramatic.

I like that he's letting his offensive coaches pick the qb. My problem with what's happened is that he's basically come right out and said he disagrees with them. You need to give the impression that all coaches are on the same page. I wonder how Hall feels about knowing his HC doesn't want him to play?

Burke liking Pierce compared to what we had at qb is very different from liking him over Kevin Glenn.

So you're suggesting Lawless is outright lying? I don't like the guy either, but he's been pretty accurate with his info lately. He said it was a fact, not just a rumour he heard.

Except when he said Pierce probably wouldn't be on the team if he wasn't such a nice guy.

Assuming this story is true it appears that, no, he really didn't love Buck as much as some believe. On your other point, I agree it was a mistake to not make the deal.

Interesting little nugget from Lawless just now. Burke didn't want to keep Pierce this offseason, he wanted Glenn. There was an offer on the table from the Stamps that was Glenn for our 2nd rounder. Burke wanted Mack to do it, but he wouldn't b/c he thought Pierce was the better qb.

I get where he's coming from. As I said in another thread, he's made it very clear he's not in charge of the offense so he'll the let the guys that are decide who runs it.

Crowton's clearly in charge of the offense, so it makes sense to me that he would pick the guy who has to run it.

Good call. Of all the things to worry about, this has to be at the bottom.

I think Miller is promoting this insanity as a ruse to make the Ticats overconfident.

Not terribly surprising, but Goltz is upset. Russ Hobson ‏@russ_sportsguy 5m Justin Goltz says he feels betrayed and team has mismanaged QB position. #Bombers

Miller seemed to me to say that on-field decisions aren't his job (his comment about not watching film for example). My guess is that Burke is letting Crowton play the qb he wants. He's said he's not involved with the offense, so he's going to let the guy who is pick his qb.

I've heard that before too. It may have been on here, I can't remember. On the pregame show for our last game Dunnigan said that Hall was the guy the Bomber coaches thought was the future and he expected to see him before the season was over.

You're a very intense person...

The cost of a qb trade & an OL or two in FA would have made us a much better team. That's all I think we needed to be a competitive team.

It would to a degree. As it stands right now though I agree with Iso's post. He didn't do enough to make the team competitive while we waited for these young guys to emerge.

To answer the OP, my attitude has changed a couple of times over the past 5 years. In 2009 I had some doubts as to whether or not I wanted to keep my season tickets, as I was having zero fun at the games. 2010 & 2011 made me love it again, but the last two years have again chipped away at my willingness to pay for watch something that only makes me angry. I'm coming periously close to no renewing, as my tipping point might be my chance to get in on Jets season tickets for this coming season. It sucks when you actually feel like it's a hassle to be bothered going to games.

I'll bite. What did a Bomber player say to his roofing company after the LDC?

Our NI receiving depth now compared to the end of 2009 is night & day. We have 4 guys now who would have been the best NI receiver on that 2009 team. Elsewhere the improvement is marginal. We have two prospects on the OL that I have high hopes for, but they need to show something before I can consider them much of an upgrade. I'm also slightly concerned that Swiston hasn't been able to take the RG job from Morley yet.
