Ryan Lucas Retires
Is Mike Renaud retiring too? Greaves @GreavesChris 5m5 minutes ago @MRenaud9 I saw you today and I didn't even say best of luck on the retirement. What does that make me? A jerk. #AwesomeTeammate #Congrats

Hall most likely to be new DC (Now Official)
As what? Cuz special teams ain't available here. DL coach? Lb coach? Db? Doubt it. Why not... our ST is nothing to write home about I would think Richie Hall is a very humble guy and probably will take the demotion in the Riders camp quite well. But it's obvious Chamblin doesnt like him. So unless there are any HC opening in CIS who will consider Hall, might as well move next door (Bombers who has job openings) even for a defensive coach position (assuming Benevides gets the Bombers DC job) instead of working with a guy who doesn't like him.

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
In fairness though, the Riders OL are notorious in holding and the zebras missed calling a lot of it. I think there's a stretch of games last year that the Riders OL wasn't called for even a single holding penalty.

Hall most likely to be new DC (Now Official)
Would Richie Hall move to other team even if it's not for DC position?

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
Walters strikes me as a guy who knows what he is doing. He surely looks like he has a good handle of the clubs SMS. He already expressed that they are going to be extremely aggressive when it comes to NI OLs. I think it's just right to prioritize upgrading that area since that's our weakest link for how many seasons now. Next weakest is the LB corps but imports are generally cheaper than NI especially if they are new faces from down south.

Does the managements pays for the Gatorade now? instead of the players?

Bombers sign Long Snapper Tim Cronk
Do you not remember how bad our long snapping was when Ian Wild was injured? I'm not defending Fitzgerald here. I agree that he has bad performance when he took over the LS when Wild was hurt. There are people here who are supporters of Fitzgerald and the question is more directed to them. I'm not sure the Bombers will carry 3 FB on gameday. So my guess he will be cut.

What does this say to Fitzgerald future with the Bombers?

Unofficial Free Agent List
Plus Philip Hunt or Alex Hall will come in cheaper than Odell Willis at this point.

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
If Walters is willing to outbid anyone just to get Heenan, Heenan + Picard will amount close to $500k per season. Well I guess, if they are willing to spend big money, investing it on the OL is the top choice. Can't win games if the QB is always on the turf.

Jeff Tedford Hired as BC Lions Head Coach
Probably receivers. McMann will be the RB coach and ST coach.

If you were the GM...
Free Agency... Heenan and/or Holmes, Don Oramasionwu and Taylor Reed CFL Draft... Nick Demski

Hall most likely to be new DC (Now Official)
I'm hoping the next DC will bring in this guy as DL coach... Carl 'Big Daddy' Hairston... a father figure just like beloved coach Richard Harris was.

6-game IR ... but then what's the point? You don't hide veterans. You hide talent you want to develop. Certainly, not the way Austin used his 6-game IR last year.

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
Bombers can hide one of Morley & Neufeld on the IR. So their salary wont count to the cap.

Penton: Bombers re-sign Washington
I think he played some Safety and some LB in Hall's D, before he signed with Winnipeg.

Ian Wild has NFL contract in hand
Good for Ian.

Penton: Bombers re-sign Washington
Kirk Penton @PentonKirk Demond Washington signed a one-year contract. #Bombers

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
The less holes we have comes TC, the better. Right now, our immediate holes are LT, RT, MLB, WIL, SAM and a WR. If Walters can fill it up on FA that would be great.

Wylie is a big fan though and he is regarded as a top notch OL coach in the CFL.
-
Penton: Bombers re-sign Washington
Newman went down early .. as did Suber .. But I think the projected secondary was Randle, Washington, Leggett, Suber, Bucknor ... then Suber eventually loss his sarting position to Johnson.

Wylie is a big fan of Picard.

Unofficial Free Agent List
CFL Official Feed @CFL 13m13 minutes ago OFFICIAL: @SSKRoughriders release Dominic Picard and Tristan Black. Details to come. #CFL played special teams for O'shea (in TOR)... played backup MLB for Hall (in SSK) an NI MLB, I wouldnt be surprised if Walters will pick him up too.

Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
Morley had a good year. Picard brings intangibles with him though that are off the charts. He has been the glue guy on every OL he has centred and they have all been successful OLs. Morley may have been better than Picard last year. But Morley can't bring the nastiness that Picard can bring which our soft OL needs.
-
Riders release; Bombers sign Dominic Picard
Just saw that too. That's interesting. Does Goosen stay as 6th OL or do they think he can start at guard? I guess another follow up question is, "what the hell do I know about OL play?" I thought Morley was every bit as good as he was... Morley makes sense as the #6 OL since he has experience and played C, G and T. I'm guessing, Bob Wylie might have something to do with Picard coming here.
