Too many slotback's?
Yup. Wouldn't be surprised to see receivers being traded around.

Bombers re-sign Ford
Oooh..the very thought makes my nipples hard. Ultimate hard nipple thought albeit hockey... Jonathan Toews playing for the Jets. Come on now, Fantasies have to be theoretically possible.

Free Agency - 2014...
Wanna bet? No chance we only have those 3 QBs on the roster when the season begins. Literally zero chance. They will at the very least bring in a young QB from the States, probably two of them. What I meant was that there seems to be little chance of another experienced quarterback coming on board. Oh. Kels said "QB prospect" so I was rolling with that. We may see Kevin Glenn here yet, but you're probably right that we don't bring in another experienced arm. I'm betting Kevin Glenn winds up in La Belle Province- Vancouver maybe.

RB Dennis Johnson
Love the guy's aggressiveness and attitude.

Free Agency - 2014...
O'Shea is familiar with McCune, and if he's not signing him, there's probably a good reason. I don't know if he doesn't want to come here, is asking more than he's worth (no one else has signed him either) , or they're just in the process of working out some minor contract details, but on this one, I'm giving bombers the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, maybe he's saving the cap space for Ted Laurent or Glenn. Think positively! I'm not being facetious, but do you think Glenn would be a good fit here with all the bad history? I would think that as soon as he had one bad game or even a few bad plays the fans would be calling for his head and saying unkind things about him and Walters?

A Look at the Blue Bombers Offensive Line
A good read, but wasn't this posted a couple of days ago or is this deja vu all over again?

Eskimos release Alexander (Now Signed with the Bombers)
No really, I thought there was only 2 CFL Teams........................... I don't want Glenn here, I actually think it's unlikely for him to sign here, but why waste assets on him when we could either pick him up if he's released or if he doesn't want to come here waste picks and players for nothing. At the same time, what other team would want Glenn ? maybe Montreal and/or Edmonton, but I don't see BC going after him, nor Calgary, Saskatchewan, Toronto, Hamilton. Why wouldn't bc go for him? He's more reliable then Buck. I wouldn't be surprised to see Glenn end up in either Montreal (my first bet) or Vancouver. Glenn would be a good fit into Montreal's quick-read offense with a decent O-line and a good chance for another shot at the Grey Cup. Vancouver's biggest asset is the lack of cold weather. Either way, the two GMs involved will try to wait out Ottawa to get the best deal for Glenn- they may get him for nothing or next to nothing.

Free Agency - 2014...
If Walters' performance to date is any indication, darned few players are going to go into camp with the assumption that they are a lock. As many here have pointed out, good RBs are plentiful and relatively cheap. I would love it if Florida Dan could scare up another Charles Roberts- that would sure take a lot of pressure off both our QB and the O-line, not to mention the receivers.

Bombers add RB Travon Jones
I wouldn't expect to find any accurate or relevant scouting reports, this guy is 27 years old and hasn't played meaningful football in almost 7 years. I'm not even 100% convinced that he's signed a contract. So where has he been playing? I'm a little concerned about a 27 yr old who hasn't played meaningful football in 7 years. He does look to be a long shot to make the team, but all we can do is hope that the scouting saw something in him worth a longer look. John Madden said that every year when he was in the NFL his team would bring in an interesting long shot.

Eskimos release Alexander (Now Signed with the Bombers)
I don't see why he wouldn't have multiple years left. He's only 28 you know. Hmmm... he's been around so long, I assumed he was at or past 30. Typically, most athletes physically peak at ages 26-29, so if his head is still in the game, he ought to fit in well here. Don't remember him as a solid tackler, though.

Bombers add RB Travon Jones
From the info on the internet, he sounds like he has his head screwed on properly, and has the physical talents to succeed in the CFL. He listed his greatest asset as peripheral vision and not getting hit by surprise. Seems to have decent hands as well. Sounds like a real challenger.

Eskimos release Alexander (Now Signed with the Bombers)
Good signing for training camp if nothing else. I just hope Alexander still has a year or two in him.

Bombers name Gene Dahlquist as new QB coach
Well at 71 I wouldn't want a coach to run the team, but for monitoring 3 guys I don't think the age is an issue. As long as he's not afraid to buy green bananas.....

Tom Higgins is the new Montreal HC
Sounds like Popp has been dropping hints that he wants new horizons, so he may be pushed before he jumps.

Argos May be sold soon
I don't care how muddy it was, if it didn't have a manhole in the middle of the field it can't be the absolute worst. Come now- we are in a new millennium. It's called a "personhole".
-
Tom Higgins is the new Montreal HC
Popp may have lucked out in having Calvillo as his QB for so many years, but under his command, the Alouettes were competitive almost every year. For the most part, he was very good at finding talent and hiring good coaches. There ought to be several GM/Assistant GM NFL positions coming up,and the CFL can't compete with NFL salaries.

Some food for thought from Farhan Lalji
You're right- my bad. Damn that senility.
-
Tom Higgins is the new Montreal HC
it's reported at that time he is only interested on GM position. maybe he sees something goin' on the Als org. I wont be surprised if Poop bolts out to NFL this season o next yr. Maybe head coach for the present with an option to be head coach/GM if Popp bails out and then moving up to GM next year in that scenario.
-
Some food for thought from Farhan Lalji
Mike Kelly was a dreadful head coach and worse as a GM, so his judgement is highly questionable. I don't want to give him more air time, but he came into the job(s) with enormous goodwill in the bank and proceeded to burn it off at a rate unprecedented in recent Bomber history. The fans and players turned on him when it became painfully obvious just how bad he was.

Henoc Muamba expected to get NFL contract
Would love to see Henoc return, but given the nature of the business and the short length of careers in pro sports, he owes it to himself to maximize his income, either in the NFL or CFL. He was one of the few bright spots last season, and earned his salary, so good luck to him.
