I would be more excited about this if Ed was covering the Bombers full time for an independent source... while I look forward to reading his opinion/editorials, you have to imagine his bias will be towards the team...

The top 4 on that list all have a shot at being drafted in the NFL... if not drafted, I think they'll sign as UDFAs.... I wish they would expand the list to top 30 or 40, cuz this is really a top 15 when you take out NFL prospects...

I like the idea of getting the goal posts out of the way... but with a 20 yard end zone, it just won't happen.... basically eliminates the kicking game...

This morning too... I know I woulda bought a coffee!

I was also at the mini camp this morning... IMO There wasn't really anything noteworthy... the new additions, Smith, Harris and Dressler all looked pretty good, as expected... they're playing against no D so hard to get a good read... I did notice Dressler playing at the WR spot and Smith in the slot.... likely just experimentation but it could be that they're trying to reduce Dressler's punishment... FWIW this was today's "starting line up"... OL: Bryant - Lawrence Martin - Goossen - Chungh - Neufeld WR: Dressler - Smith - Ernest Smith - Adams - Kohlert QB: Willy (shocker alert!) RB: Harris (Lochard took some reps with the first team)

Good player but has he ever played 18 games in a season?... Cory Watson-esque maybe....

This sounds like great news... rule differences aside, I can see this being beneficial for both sides...

Don't discount Jones' scouting staff... I wouldn't be surprised if they have at least one quality rookie wr this year...

You basically just described the problem every team in the CFL has... it's called the ratio...

I think we all know that's exactly what it was...

I don't see anything wrong with it... he was the head coach of the defending champs... kinda similar to Brandon Saad (Columbus) and Johnny Oduya (Dallas) joining the Blackhawks at the white house this year...

I'd probably argue the secondary is the strength of this team... and that's not an indictment of how bad the team is overall... IMO our secondary would be a strength on most teams in the league...

I think most people agree with that... this thread went off the rails when one poster suggested the only appropriate answer to a question about Drew Willy's health and what he can do it help should be ripping the o-line...

I'm a couple episodes behind... I think I've seen six or 7... I've definitely seen episode 6

They are apparently "investigating" the situation... I was looking at a gif to hear what he said (apparently it's audible) but the sound wasn't working, needless to say it wasn't hard to read his lips.... most of the words started with F...

If this isn't the Olivia Wilde nude scene, then I'm not interested...

So what you're trying to tell me is the Bombers don't have a Grey Cup winning Head Coach?!?

hmmmm...

keeping in mind that DBs in the CFL are rarely over 6' also... having short receivers is not as major of a disadvantage as some make it out to be...

I had no problem with Calgary, Edm or Hamilton... but there was really nothing to them... they were basically a slight variation to their regular jerseys.... I also really hate football jerseys that throw the logo on the front though... numbers go on the front of the jersey, logo on the shoulders...

It must vary depending on where you are... in my area: Liberal: if it wasn't for one bus bench, I wouldn't even know there was a Lib candidate in my area... PC: one visit a few months ago and a few pamphlets... NDP: I've spoken to the MLA Rep personally, his wife a few times and probably received about 4 or 5 robo calls (which I've never answered), and countless pamphlets...

I hope that's true... maybe it made the CFL/Bombers realize what an abomination those "signature" jerseys were (with BC and IMO Mtl being the exception)...

Wow... you really turned on Florida quickly...

Not really related to anything but just thought I'd share this... I met Mike O'Shea over the weekend at a friend's social... my friend's dad has a friend who lives next door to him so he invited him to come... anyways, this was his first Manitoba social... we mostly chatted about the social prizes and he was impressed at some of the stuff they were able to procure... sorry I wasn't able to ask any hard hitting questions... in hindsight, the whiskey had hit me a little harder than I realized at the time and I don't remember much details of the conversation other than the social prizes and I told him I'm a long time season ticket holder and I was rooting for him to succeed...

Man those are just painful to look at...
