Captain Blue

I thought they all handled themselves well. I think they all just realize that the media in this town are lazy, uneducated (as in how it relates to the team) ****-disturbers. I loved when O'Shea jumped ahead of Willy and said he'd be the starting QB. He took control of the situation and just had a big smirk one his face, almost laughing at how he intended to get ahead of them. Of course Wiecek had to get his panties all in a bunch about it today, because these are the buffoons that are paid money to do a terrible job of covering the team.

I am rooting for another team to go to the East, I don't particularly care which market (Quebec vs Halifax) but I hate 9 teams in the league. Either 8 or 10, gotta be balanced.

I think the lack of excitement stems from clearly pursuing and then failing to land the first two guys we went after. I'm pretty excited for Willy, but I really wanted Collaros.

To add onto this now, Penton says we're not considering trading for Glenn. (though I am assuming that isn't a finite decision)

I'd actually avoid trading for Glenn now. We have Willy and I think we do everything we can to surround him with talent. Free agency, the draft, we want to give Willy the best chance to succeed. I don't want to give up an asset for Glenn then plunk Willy on the bench. I'd consider Glenn a target for our backup spot, if Ottawa wants us to toss them a late rounder or something inconsequential.

I think they are banking on Kohlert.

Ladies and gents, we have a quarterback.

I love Nichols and would be happy to have him here, just not for a high pick.

I am less concerned about losing Burris (though that really does suck - he is still a good QB) than I am about players thinking this organization is radioactive. Changed the CEO, GM and HC and players still clearly have no interest in playing here. That is a huge problem.

He's got nowhere else to go. If for some crazy reason he opts to go to Montreal, I will quite literally laugh out loud - they will continually talk of replacing him with Smith AND if I were Montreal I'd rather spend time developing Smith some more.

I preferred Collaros, but I'll be at least content with Willy.

Me too and for Austin to struggle too. Stay classy. Breaking: Fans of one team hopes rival team does poorly; please alert masses.

Penton is giving the impression that the Bombers have wanted Burris more all along (which goes along with his article). Burris + Willy fits the vet + young guy model they want.

Yikes this really sucks. Really thought we would land him. Wonder if Toronto regrets not dealing his rights for a late pick now that he's right next door. We really need to get Willy in free agency.

Lawn chair right beside Mike O'Shea.

If true, this a horrid move. I could live with MB sticking as OC. This one just makes me sick.

Rod Black will use the expression "And there's a TD at TD place!" about 1.5 million times this year. May be an underestimation.

I'd take either of the Hammy guys over Marshall and Etcheverry. Prefer Steinhauer just since O'Shea and him could work extremely well together.

Hopefully this means other DC choices than Marshall and Etcheverry

I don't know what to think. Don't know enough about him. Seems like a good candidate, but lots of people have nice bios that aren't great coaches. Also we are really, really Canadian as an organization.

Dickenson is the best ST coord in the league in my opinion, but O'Shea was a really great one too. That helps the loss of him.

Thank you for bringing this thread back. Well...I mean I have plenty of the flu stuff too if people want to hear it...

Is it possible we are just waiting for Miles' contract year to end with Sask?

This shouldn't even be a close race...The wildcard that is Barron Miles is the better option in my opinion over the continually overrated Greg Marshall.

Man I LOVE Jason Vega. I am so stoked about this signing.
