June 17, 201312 yr comment_5153 Well, after the latest slow start or series of mental breakdowns.....Lapo always mentioned the need to talk to the players about this and that........but the basic problem was, nobody was listening or seemed to pay any attention. Whether you believe in Burke or not.....at least he is walking the walk..... after talking about getting rid of people who wouldn't get on with (the new) program. I suspect when he now tells people something.....he has a bit more attention. Sadly, Hefney had the perfect opportunity for a fresh slate, this season.... with new contract and bonus......but between refusing to shift position, yet again....and not giving management a heads up on the pot bust .....when he was already breathing thin air......simply deep-sixed himself. btw.....the bright side....both Sears and Washington can ball....more size and speed, out there.....
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5168 MMQB's Steinberg seems to think Hefney is going to Calgary... EDIT, he actually got that from the Calgary Sun: A report from the Calgary Sun had the Stampeders interested in Jonathan Hefney after his release from the Bombers over the weekend.
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5170 MMQB's Steinberg seems to think Hefney is going to Calgary... EDIT, he actually got that from the Calgary Sun: Apparently its down to Edmonton, Calgary and Montreal according to Ed Tait
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5171 he's already got a bonus this year... so money-wise, he's laughing wherever he signs
June 17, 201312 yr comment_5172 I don't see Hef as a SAM LB........he's just not physical enough to stand up to the pounding that the position requires, really don't blame him for telling Burke to stuff it.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5174 I don't see Hef as a SAM LB........he's just not physical enough to stand up to the pounding that the position requires, really don't blame him for telling Burke to stuff it. well if he's a bust for whatever team signs him, then Mack and Burke are justified... but on the other hand, if he plays good football...
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5177 well if he's a bust for whatever team signs him, then Mack and Burke are justified... but on the other hand, if he plays good football... The play of the guys we kept will be more important in determining the soundness of this move than what Hefney does elsewhere.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5178 Alright, time to calm down a bit. You're starting to sound like some of the whiners around here. You don't need that... Agreed. It's a sore point with me, it has me grumbling and muttering like a grumpy old man. I'm working on it.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5185 well if he's a bust for whatever team signs him, then Mack and Burke are justified... but on the other hand, if he plays good football... That's an over-simplification. Another team's defensive system may be a better fit for Hefney.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5186 That's an over-simplification. Another team's defensive system may be a better fit for Hefney. what part of "his play dropped off so we cut him" is an oversimplification?
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5187 what part of "his play dropped off so we cut him" is an oversimplification? Burke also said: "So I think you'll probably see him get picked up by somebody else. If they utilize him in a different role, he could probably be successful."
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5190 I don't see Hef as a SAM LB........he's just not physical enough to stand up to the pounding that the position requires, really don't blame him for telling Burke to stuff it. He's played SAM at times for this team before and been awesome at it though! Hell the best games of the 2011 season for the defense had Hefney at SAM. It's really a great fit for him,he was better than Kent there.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5191 My beef with Heff is the coaches made a decision & he should as a professional do as they want. If it doesn't work out, it's on them. All I know is Keon Raymond from the Stamps isn't a big player & he excels there. The Sam has turned into another db position anyway... Yeah, it's more physical to be sure playing there. But they thought he could handle it.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5213 Re: Hefney not listening to the coaches.......there was a great quote in the FP today from Jovon, talking about how much he's willing to do anything for the coaches. Said that if Dickenson wants him to return kicks, he will, and if he wants a 7-year vet (Jovon) to get downfield on coverage, he's more than happy to do that as well. "Whatever it takes to win..." he said. If Hef had that attitude, he'd still be a Bomber....
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5216 It's like the Odell deal. We'll have to bite our lips as he makes some big plays early on and the Bombers get ripped. But in the end we know we're better off without him. The thing is, and I think this is especially true the way sports are covered, the winners write history. So if the Bombers suck again and the Stamps are good again the Hefney story will be jammed down our throats. If the Bombers improve the coaches having the courage to cut Hef will be talked up way beyond its relevance.

If Hef had that attitude, he'd still be a Bomber.... yeah and we saw that last year too with Johnson volunteering to play SAM even though he was a terrible fit, giving it a try at safety because they needed someone there. Guy is willing to do whatever the team asks him and that's the attitude that every player needs to have.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5253 Signed with the Stamps. Yep. Hefney now a Stampeder. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=425759
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5270 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk 15m Huh. Jonathan Hefney lined up at strong side linebacker with the #Stampeders today. #Bombers SMH
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5271 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk 15m Huh. Jonathan Hefney lined up at strong side linebacker with the #Stampeders today. #Bombers SMH Wouldn't do it here .. but has no problem doing the same for another team .. smells like someone was fishing for his release.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5272 Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman7m According to Sun Media's Ian Busby Jonathan Hefney will play SAM Thursday for #Stampeders. Position he did not want to play for #Bombers Perhaps he knows now that saying he doesn't want to play a position will get him cut?
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5274 Joe Pascucci @Pascucci0151m Hufnagel not prepared to say where they plan on playing Hefney. "We'll see how he does at SAM Linebacker." Guess Hef didn't say no to that.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5275 Now he's playing SAM? Doche. Hope he trys to steal Lewis's Baconators and gets knocked out.
June 18, 201312 yr comment_5277 that, is unreal.. how does he pull **** like this? i just lost a ton of respect for him.. too good to play it here but gladly does it in calgary? sickening.. classless ******..
