Lawless article on officiating and rule changes
no kidding, why do we need rule changes every single off season? I can understand reviewing things that need to be changed if there were large issues with them in the previous year (like PI) but why would they need to change the rules on push blocks or really anything that is coming up this off season? It seems like they are just changing for change sake, and that is how you ruin things.

Kicking
yup, I remember watching him boot a ball 90 yards (bounces included). My dad leaned over and said, he's gone south as soon as his contract is up.

almost funny, good try though. I like the effort.

Bombers FA Signings 2016
no. But taller players usually bring a bigger overall body with them. Which can be very helpful in positioning against defenders for the ball and blocking down field for the run. But you're right, if they can't catch, height, weight etc isn't going to matter.

How This Season Will Be Different
I honestly thought that was going to be another one of Migs persona's. Glad to see it wasn't. The bombers have signed a few more OL, americans but still some prospects. It has nothing to do with my pure and utter hatred for anything riders. But I honestly believe you're in for another rough year. But this time on Offence. I think it may be a changing of the guard at the qb position. Not convinced the Oline will do anything worth while, along with the receivers and running backs. I'd be very surprised if the riders make the playoffs. I see a season below .500 again.

well you see. Not everything has to turn into, "well our (insert department/position etc here) isn't very good either" We can discuss other teams even while not being in a better position than they are. Don't worry, I'm sure none of our comments or criticizing will actually make it back them. They're feelings will be spared.

you can't get rid of the push block!!! Honestly that's just taking some of the physicality out of football. ugh...like others have said, leave it be for a few seasons.

That'd be ideal, but I doubt we get anything worth while in terms of OL for him

Around The League Off Season Discussion
This is where I'm not so certain who is in control. It's not Lulays knee that's the problem. It's his shoulder. He hasn't looked the same since he first hurt it. And he's one hit away from it being damaged again. Do want to go into the season with him as the starter, and no Jennings to back him up even? Lulay didn't look like he could get the team to the playoffs last year. Jennings looked like the future, sure the jury is still out. But that's not the case with Lulay. Jennings and his new agent must see this as well. So does Buono have the power in owning a contract that is cheap, and a proven, yet injury prone Vet already under Contract. Or is Jennings in control by being (as it stands now anyway) the best chance for the team to win. Is Buono on thin ice right now? Can he survive a loosing season, when he has a potential star QB not playing becuase he (bouno) is knowingly being cheap? I don't know. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

meh, that's just Buono saving face. It'd likely be the worst GM move on a qb since the ricky ray trade. (not that bad obvisouly, but still horrendous). Jennings is going to get paid. Want to talk about bad PR for player recruitment....let this flow into the season. Buono isn't that stupid. (please be that stupid buono)

It's also not unheard of for star players to renegotiate to help the rest of the team out.

Around The League Off Season Discussion
yup, but I'm hoping Wally screws up some how
-
Around The League Off Season Discussion
I think this is a unique situation though. It's not often you're going to find players getting paid a less than a 1/4 of what their peers get for playing the same position and being a starter. Jennings deserves more and I hope Wally refuses to give it him. Cause that means Lulay is starting and that is Great for the bombers!

Assuming were done with FA, whats left on the shopping list?
couldn't agree more. I work for a large company and we just had a new long term plan rolled out. Management started their introduction of said plan by completely pumping the tires of every single aspect of the company. Even ones that everyone knows didn't do too well this past year. But what else could we expect? This is what a business does to attract the right people and the right mind set, and to get customers to buy in. The bombers and the CFL are no different in that aspect. They are a business selling a product. You don't sell things by always looking back at past mistakes/bad outcomes. That's a horrible game plan. Be positive, sell your vision.

Um, no he didn't. The CFL said we did and changed the title of his article.

Oh boy, someone else thinks Tebow could make it here
Yeah he's on MTL neg list. But his biggest issue is his arm. So not sure how coming to a throwing league would help out. But it would be interesting.

Yup, I enjoy reading his articles for the most part, cause I'm a homer. But it's pretty clear what his deal is. Getting all upset about it, is silly.
