September 9, 201311 yr comment_20476 This better mean its the end of the road for Boatman as a Bomber.
September 9, 201311 yr Author comment_20481 slowly but surely we are turning under-utilized or completely un-utilized assets into serviceable contributors who can step in and make a difference. I don't think this solves our O-Line woes but it sure helps. Small steps to a longer goal. Keep up the good work Kyle.
September 9, 201311 yr Author comment_20482 Hate this trade. Parenteau is brutal. Yet he was on the O-line that won the Grey Cup last year.....
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20483 Hate this trade. Parenteau is brutal. Honestly, Parenteau used to be terrible and I was quite against bringing him in when he was a FA last time, but he really stepped up his game in TO. Immediate improvement at RG for us.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20485 Parenteau is a decent pickup at this point in the season... could easily step in for Sorenson... Parenteau and a 3rd for Woodson and a 5th... wow. I mean we got something for Woodson... Walters really making a case
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20486 So does Morley stay as a 6th lineman, cut, traded? Walters keeps plugging away!
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20487 Hate this trade. Parenteau is brutal. Honestly, Parenteau used to be terrible and I was quite against bringing him in when he was a FA last time, but he really stepped up his game in TO. Immediate improvement at RG for us. He did? So how come he lost his job and hasn't started a game this year?

September 9, 201311 yr comment_20490 Well, all I know is what I've seen. Our line is bad. I personally don't know if Parenteau is an upgrade over what we have...but I can't see how he couldn't be.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20491 Unfortunate to see Woodson go, but I guess being injured for the better part of your tenure here doesn't help the case for sticking around. Best of luck Mr. Woodson, welcome to Winnipeg Mr. Parenteau

So how come he lost his job and hasn't started a game this year? Because Toronto shuffled their ratio and no longer needed to start 4 NI OL plus they moved Van Zeyl inside and he's been a beast there.
September 9, 201311 yr Author comment_20494 So does Morley stay as a 6th lineman, cut, traded? Walters keeps plugging away! No - I want to see Morley and a 6th round pick go to Edmonton for JC Sherritt and a second rounder. Come on Walters make it happen!!
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20495 Well either way, at least we did something to try and fix the OL. I don't think it will end up panning out as a real improvement, but at least it's a try. Also could mean Swiston's injury is long term.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20497 At this point with the OL any move should be seen as progress. Even if it just pushes other players to get better, we should hopefully improve.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20498 Well either way, at least we did something to try and fix the OL. I don't think it will end up panning out as a real improvement, but at least it's a try. Also could mean Swiston's injury is long term. If nothing else, I look at it this way I would've given a 5th rounder+Woodson for a 3rd rounder. Parenteau coming along with the pick is a bonus with potential to make it a real win for us.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20500 Works for both teams. Woodson has the potential to move into Andre Durie's roll if anything would happen to him.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20502 Seeing Walters make these moves really hits home the burning question: What the heck was Joe Mack doing all this time?
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20503 This should get Pencer onto the 42 man roster too. I'd bet our OL will now be January--Greaves--Sorenson--Parenteau--Swiston Pencer
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20504 And Mike, if thats the case, how do you feel about that starting O line?
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20505 The only reason my initial reaction is negative is because I think Woodson has potential to be a really good Canadian RB, maybe not a full time starter but certainly as a part time guy. Maybe even a Andre Durie type RB-turned-SB. I hate that we never gave him a chance to show what he can do on offence. He comes with big injury concerns which is obviously something this team has seen enough of lately. But we gave up a high-ceiling young Canadian for a veteran ham-and-egger and those are the deals that can come back and bite you if the young guy ends up becoming a big contributor.
September 9, 201311 yr comment_20506 This should get Pencer onto the 42 man roster too. I'd bet our OL will now be January--Greaves--Sorenson--Parenteau--Swiston Pencer Assuming this is true, do you then keep Cauchy at safety, or throw an import there since you now have the flexibility to do so?
