  1. Jovon was actually pretty good at safety... Definitely an improvement over Cauchy...
  2. I'd prefer Etcheverry. Already seen the Marshall defence enough, not a fan. At least the Etcheverry defence should be exciting. I'm not that worried about our D, I actually think we've got a pretty good core of players there. An experienced MLB like McCune or Jamall Johnson could go a long way for us.
  3. Glad Stewart won't be back. I don't think anyone ruined his career. He has had many opportunities to succeed, he's shown he is incapable of playing anything but the field corner... failed miserably when given the opportunity at HB and SAM. Not sure he is worth the veteran's salary he would be commanding just to play that field corner spot. Not to mention the fact that he has always shown himself to be a me-first type of guy, rather than a team guy... stupid penalties, refusing to go down after an interception with no time remaining even though it's the safe play, constantly jumping routes and not coming up with the ball... never been a fan.
  4. I don't think Halifax has ever had it... I don't think they have a capable stadium.
  5. I don't think the plan was ever for Willy to be our starter this season. But what the hell. I'm down.
  6. Well hopefully that's not the case and this is just a ploy to lower the asking price for Glenn or any other backup in the league. I'll be a little disappointed if the Bombers go into training camp without another QB that has a little CFL experience Worked fine last year with Edmonton................ well offensively at least. They did have an experienced backup though, just didn't need him
  7. Jyles became Etienne who became Willy. Circle of life.
  8. Kels is trying to hack the website
  9. Big Willy highlights from 2013 http://www.bluebombers.com/video/index/id/94493
  10. I don't mind Matt Carter but I don't think you want him out there every down. He hasn't been incredibly productive but he does seem to have a penchant for making clutch plays when called upon. I think it would be a stretch to call either of Carter or Bradwell "starting quality receivers." Even Anthony Parker... maybe he still has the potential to be a good receiver, but I'm not sure you bank on potential for being one of your starters. Certainly they must be confident that they are getting Kohlert back, because he is the best receiver scheduled to hit the market.
  11. Bombers got the best out of any of the QBs available this off-season, and for the cheapest All hail Kyle Walters IWWT
  12. We have a qb, they call him Big Willy
  13. Seriously? That's bottom of the barrel, man... why not bring back Hargs instead? Hargreaves is even deeper into the bottom of the barrel
  14. It's moot anyways because we don't have a second round pick. I know, people have stated that enough times around here it's burned into my brain. My comment was more of a "if we're going to give something to someone for a QB, I'd rather have Glenn". But we don't have our second rounder anymore

    Some "news" on Emry and Bourke: http://www.torontosun.com/2014/02/05/hard-to-believe-alouettes-functioning-as-normal

    Imagine getting Josh Bourke and having Patrick Neufeld healthy and good enough to start at RT, then all of a sudden we have an all-Canadian OL and things are looking pretty good for us, ratio-wise. Dare to dream...
  17. Atomic replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    Looks that way. I'm thinking 4 NI OL, 2 NI receivers, and an NI somewhere on defence. It would be nice to pick up Laurent, Butler, or Emry so we don't have to start Cauchy or Bucknor at Safety.

    BS you can only subtract from your roster at this time of year... Esks lost Krausnick to Ottawa and then signed Baboulas just a few days ago to shore up their depth at Centre. Plus Dublanko as an ST addition. I'd certainly take Baboulas over Kowalczuk. Nothing wrong with taking a look at where we stand this year as opposed to this time last year... see where we stand with FA coming. What is it that you like about Baboulas?
  19. Based on winning out on one free agent signing? Wow, doesn't take much to impress you does it? Yes, cause that is the only lousy thing that's occurred since he took over. Switch from dial-up, there Jusup. You're missing out on a lot of info . I think you're missing some info on the colossal botch job Desjardins did in Hamilton. 2 years of futility trumps one poor off-season, IMO...

    Remember all the people who said Noel was getting the best out of the players and they were actually OVER achieving with him? LOL
  22. True but if we are saving money on a QB, and Henoc goes to the NFL, I imagine we'll have some cash to throw around. We need Canadian starters. By my count, if things stay the way they are, there are 6 Canadian starters from other teams that will hit free agency... Bourke, Laurent, Butler, Myddelton, Kohlert, and Emry. It would be nice to land one or more of those names.
  23. How about Shea Emry? I know most people don't like him, but he would help us with the ratio if and when Henoc leaves.
  24. I thought Bourke was a guard. If he plays left tackle, what would we do with January? Move him to right tackle... he's played there before anyways. Or relegate him to backup and start 5 NI OL.
  25. Sounds like he wants to make a trade. Mentioned twice that he has already talked to other GMs whose teams might have 2 or 3 good QBs on the roster.
