It helps too that the Bombers aren't paying out the contracts on several past coaches and GM's anymore - everyone now should be done right? Lapo, Mack, Crowton, Burke etc. That was all done before the 2014 season

Cutler is a coach killer. Even when he plays well he just gives off negative vibes all the time. All the tools to be a great one. But that's his problem, he has all the tools but he's also one himself. Always either pissed off or indifferent. Not a leader by any stretch of the word. How can you win with a player like that? He'll get the next HC in Chicago fired as well. Yup. His history does not lie. If Trestman's mentoring, coaching, tutoring had no effect on Cutler, I say good luck Chicago. Cutler is hands down one of the worst team 'leaders' of all time. I remember a MNF game three years ago. A rookie OT missed his block & Cutler was sacked. He pulled a Drew Tate & screamed at him on the field on national television. Even some of his teammates called him out on that one saying how wrong he was. That's not leadership. That's being an ass. It's only called leadership when someone with Back to back 400+ yard passing games; most 6 TD games: 3; most passing TD's in a season: 50; most consecutive 2+ TD pass games: 13; most consecutive 3+ TD pass games: 10; back to back 5+ TD pass games; most TD passes in a quarter: 5; most TD passes in a perfect game: 6; most consecutive single-season passes with 0 INT's: 358; most consecutive 2+ TD 0 INT games: 9; most career 4+ TD 0 INT games: 12; 2 career 6+ TD 0 INT games; most career 50+ attempt 0 INT games: 3; best single season TD/INT ratio: 36/4; most career postseason wins: 16; most consecutive postseason wins: 10; most consecutive home wins: 35; perfect regular season record (16-0); most consecutive postseason home wins: 8; highest postseason game completion percentage: 92.9%; quarterback of the 2000's New England Patriots Dynasty; highest career TD/INT ratio: 2.608/1; lowest career INT rate: 2.2%; 7 time Pro Bowl selection; 2 time All Pro; 3 time Super Bowl Champion; 2 time Super Bowl MVP; 2009 Comeback Player of the Year; Patriots all time passing leader, 2 time Offensive Player of the Year; only unanimous NFL MVP; NFL 2000's All Decade Team; 2 time NFL MVP- does it (which is pretty much every game)... at least that's what the media will have you believe... as opposed to Jay Cutler... An ******* is still an *******...

Seeing Khari in Saskie green made me wanna puke... ("haha puke, now that's a funny word" - Kenny Banya)... I wanted him here too, but at least he's not going back to Sask...

Rex Ryan to Atlanta with Trestman as the OC would be a nice fit... IMO

If his options are DC job in Wpg vs STC job in Sask... I find it hard to believe he would prefer the STC position...

As per Jay Glazer... I suspect he finds a job as an OC or QBC in the NFL... but he may find his way back to the CFL if the price is right...

Had to make a little adjustment for you there

As much as I love seeing Toronto lose... the last thing I wanna see is them fall so far they cease to exist... that sale needs to happen ASAP... get that team some stability...

Sounds like a hell of a coaching staff...

Rapsheet, as in Ian Rappaport?... Or is this another source I've never heard of

Is that 46% TDs or just scoring in general?... I hope the former

Your right, Goalie, stats don't tell the whole story. For example, due to scores off fumbles and picks, Winnipeg's defence contributed to our 397 total points scored. The most telling stat IMHO is TD percentage, and that stat is calculated by dividing the number of touchdowns by the number of times the team was in the red zone. By that measurement Bombers were dead last in the league at 2.6% - a very inefficient offence that repeatedly failed to capitalize on the many chances it was given. You're right... the bombers were to only team to get scoring from defense and special teams this year... Also, I haven't looked up this stat... but 2.6% seems far too low... Where are you getting the redzone and TD numbers from? OK, looking more closely Ottawa was last in terms of TD percentage and we were next to the bottom. Link: http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/football/cfl/stats/teams/?sort=Yrd Except that stat isn't TDs per redzone attempt... it's probably TDs per possession... you're trying to tell me Calgary only scored a TD one in every 20 redzone trips... and us, one or two in every 50??? c'mon man

Apparently they just experimented in college but nothing serious developed. Does. Not. Compute... Can you imagine... me soaking his cork.... and him, soaking mine?

I think the real question here is... who in their right mind is up at 4:16 am?!?!

What... nobody voted for Greg Marshall??? My vote is Benevides... simply cuz BC has had a very good D for a long time... I also like Richie Hall

I'm pretty sure he had 2 "Boyd Autobody crunch of the game" hits last year!

Interesting blog... granted the source has an obvious bias... but still nice to read about some of the inner workings of the team

Just to clarify... this is what I got from Kim's posts... 1. Royal Blue is 100% back next year 2. Bombers have already signed Ben Heenan and Tyler Holmes to multi-year deals 3. Through a series of trades, Bombers now have 3 first round picks 4. George Cortez and Mark Washington are confirmed as our new coordinators. 5. Girls like football Did I miss anything?

This seems like a breach of Barber/customer confidentiality... that's a thing, right?

yep, that's exactly right...

This.... and this.... make the most sense

Two things I thought were funny when I first read this yesterday... him citing his great practice stats... and he thinks it's his choice that he's out of football... that's about it...

exactly what I was thinking... great signing...
