Canadian DE Isaiah Bagnah posts pedestrian numbers at Big 12 Pro Day - 3DownNation Less NFL interest is great for CFL teams but probably not so great for the player. Bagnah was ranked 4th in the latest rankings and is the highest rated player scheduled to be participating at the national combine.

No I think it's awesome. Just having some fun plus the Oilers do indeed suck. 🙂

We have the dollars, but the only deals we'd entertain are high-value low-risk ones. The upcoming NFL cuts should be pretty alluring before and after their TCs, plus it's a deep draft and we have guys who could back to us. A lot of what is left in free agency is pretty fringe guys one way or another. Likely we will see them move between the draft and pre-season.

F Carney. Admitted Oilers fan. Practiced with the Oilers today in preparation against us tonight. Where's my bumper sticker?

LOL, I knew when Kyle held his annual FA presser on the very first day of FA it was over and there was no air left in the balloon. Ed Tait is sweating bullets, trying to parcel sparse announcements out over months of vast nothingness.

It was listed on the CFL transactions page a while ago (March 7th) but the club only announced it officially yesterday. Winnipeg Blue Bombers add defensive back - Winnipeg Blue Bombers

I'm also sure as an assistant coach over in Europe, they aren't putting in 12-14 hours of work a day during the season, either. Coaching in USport, Junior & even the CFL seems like a limited career. It's not like coaches here have a pipeline if they want to move up to the NCAA or NFL. If they move up to the CFL from the lower ranks, once an assistant get fired from a CFL team, it seems to be over for most of them. Going back down to the lower levels is the only choice. .

And then Doug Brown said they had to run a "sandlot" defense with nobody calling plays. Barron Simpson essentially ran things from the MACK/MIKE...

March 20 update: Magic/Tragic # West - Magic # Winnipeg - 6 Dallas - 15 Vegas - 18 Colorado - 19 Edmonton - 20 Minnesota - 21 Los Angeles - 23 Vancouver - 29 ——————— Tragic # Calgary - 29 St. Louis - 27 Utah - 25 Anaheim - 20 Seattle - 15 Nashville - 14 Chicago - 3 San Jose - Eliminated East - Magic # Washington - 3 Carolina - 15 Florida - 16 Toronto - 16 Tampa Bay - 18 New Jersey - 21 Ottawa - 24 Montreal - 28 ——————- Tragic # Columbus - 28 NY Islanders- 28 Detroit - 26 NY Rangers - 26 Boston - 23 Buffalo - 20 Pittsburgh - 18 Philadelphia - 18 Clinching/elimination scenarios today - Washington can clinch a playoff spot with a win and a NY Islanders loss of any kind (Capitals hold the tiebreaker over Columbus) OR an OT/SO loss and a loss of any kind by Columbus AND a regulation loss by NY Islanders. Chicago is eliminated with a loss of any kind and a Vancouver win OR a regulation loss and a Vancouver OT/SO loss.

Soo strange that they report on it now. I think news broke like a month ago? Wonder if they just do it to keep up a quota.

I suspect the Europe deal is a much better quality of life than coaching here. Most cos or better at competitive programs from hs in the us on up live pretty rough lives during the season.

You know, you may never use a tampon but you will get old. If you're lucky to live that long. You won't be any different than anyone else.

So to be clear, its don't make comments about people being older but its ok to say that receivers would be catching passes with tampons?

Ahhh the days of Rod Rust. Coached a lights out D for 5 games, then suddenly left.

Then the panic sets in when some of these players don't get drafted by the NFL or are offered a free agent contract. Or are offered & get cut during tryouts or OTA's. Then the CFL starts to look good.

Rod Rust was 77 years old when he coached here in 2005. D i c k LeBeau, one of the greatest defensive coordinators of all time coached full time in the NFL until he was 80 years old. His last position with Tennessee, he was DC & Asst HC with the Titans. Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo is 65, HC Pete Carroll with the Raiders is 74. Romeo Crennel was 73 when he was Interim HC in Houston during the 2020 season. Bill Belichek is 72 years old as HC at North Carolina. Yeah, it's rare but if a coach can still do it & do it well then I think it's great. No need to mock anyone.

Europe is great. Had the chance to go a couple years ago to visit the sister in England and we decided to go to a few other places like Paris Rome greece as well as Denmark and the Baltics (ancestors from there). If I couldn’t live in Canada I’d live in Europe. It’s cool as ****. lol.

It would be considered semi pro over level here as players on a team have vastly different experience levels. Coaching there would have a bit of pressure but not a lot. For some of these older guys it's a holiday. They bring their wives with them, travel around when they're off & they try to live the lifestyle Europe provides them. That's why the former Portand head coach kept coming back.

Rita is 77, 78 in September. Then again wasn't Rod Rust 125 when he was our DC?

Good stuff. Why not keep busy if you can...

Dave Ritchie went to coach in Zurich when he was 72.

Oh no, pitchforks and torches are on call 24 7 365.
