Most teams would waive Nyquist and Pearson and prob Schenn to the minors. Toews possibly also. I think I’d tank this season. It’s a good draft. We need young talent. Yager has potential. Chibrikov also. Salo I like lots. Dom the goalie looks good. But outside of that not much currently on the moose. Couple interesting prospects in the ohl and ncaa. Top 4 D for sure in Sasha and possibly top 6 center in Walton. Top 9 let’s say. He looks good also but He won’t be ready for a few seasons. We lack tho a top 3 forward prospect tho currently. Yager definitely top 6 potential but he’s not that big either so. You need a top 5 pick. Ideally win the draft and get a franchise player.

55 has this look like and I thought JT was gonna be good for us look to him. He’s so wide eyed out there currently. It’s all him kfc and Vilardi. Barron kicking in now but Arniel refusing to play Barron at 2 center is just a crime now. Perfetti Barron (moose player) As line 2 would be solid as heck and young with potential to grow. it’s time for Chevy to waive Nyquist Pearson and maybe even Toews to the moose or trade them and play the younger guys. Schenn and miller also. Maybe Demelo even and give Salo a shot with Morrissey. Heinola is not the answer as I was at a moose game and he’s slow AF. I liked Yager tho.

This past year was our first time not in the cup final in 6 seasons. so I’m not sure many other teams are really doing better off than us in any way.

Plus guys don’t just decide to become coaches immediately after retiring. This was obviously something that has been there for a while. It’s more about the talent and scheme with the DL tho so improve that and DL should get better. Need a couple solid ends and defensive tackles. Be interesting to see if Willie and Vaughters are brought back. In thinking one only. The kids looked good at the end there so maybe they are starting for us also. But find a couple more. KMB looked like a player also so maybe you bring back Willie and play him way less. Let Vaughters go tho.

Not to mention the coaching he received while playing 15 or so years on the DL. To think he couldn’t pass that knowledge on is laughable.

John Madden

Are you argueing that BC has done better on not overpaying than us? I'd say the Rourke, Betts, Hatcher etc deals, being 300k over the cap in 2024 and how cheap they have gone at many spots on D says otherwise. I agree we've done poorly in this area but I don't think BC has done better.

Yes. Exactly. One, Two, Three, Four! Everybody's talking about Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism This-ism, that-ism, ism ism ism All we are saying is give Jake a chance

Winnipeg is more affordable for a cfl player than Vancouver tho. The money goes farther here. Honestly I’d avoid bc Toronto and Montreal if I was a player coming up to play in Canada or even grew up here. Not every player tho wants to play in his hometown. Dude is off in Detroit which is closer to Winnipeg than Vancouver right now.

Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Rick Carlisle, Steve Kerr are all guys who are or were great NBA coaches who were also journeyman pros. All we are saying is give Jake a chance.

Of course, I'm not saying that. BC got rid of Adams as soon as they could & dropped Awe to afford Sankey. They gave Rourke a bunch O marketing money to make his contract work, which was absolutely brilliant. Teams can 'overspend' on single players maybe even 2, but when they 'overspend' on more than that, especially at the QB spot, the highest paid player, then they run into SMS issues.

Every coach in hockey pretty much. Most offensive coordinators were bad QBs. I mean the list is quite long in reality. Kellen Moore has the saints rolling. Dude who couldn’t make it in the cfl is the commanders OC. Kliff kingsbury. I mean. There’s a bunch man. In every sport on the planet. there’s more examples of great players failing as coaches. Wayne Gretzky immediately comes to mind. Deion sanders also cuz Colorado sucks. All the basketball coaches are former average players and despite the bias, Jake played pro football for 13 years longer than you did. And here’s a big thing, he’s respected around the league by his peers and teammates. That says something. Fans can **** on players but those guys who played with him and beside him and against him, they don’t and that means more than people online who will always find something to complain about. Dude bled blue n gold for 13 years. At what point do you show him any form of respect for destroying his body for our entertainment. im fine with Jake as DL coach. im not sure why they brought hogan back tho. I mean does Brady need a coach. Not really. So could have saved some $$$ there. Awkward.

Good news about the coaching ranks.

I'm just really hoping the BB's find a few diamonds in the rough this coming season especially when it comes to our D and O lines and TC is heavily competitive earn your spot at all positions approach.

not all wins are created equal though. When you lose the ship, it’s like being graded on a bell curve and getting a good grade greatly reduced. History has seen plenty of people with winning records get canned. The worst job security in football is being on the wrong side of a great era. When a great team slides down a bit, the seats get real hot real fast. The raptors had multiple great cases like that. Firing the president who brought a ship, the coach who won it, right after firing the coach of the year. Football is more cut throat than most sports for teams who build high expectations. The much shorter season makes each L a bigger deal.

it is for americans. Not really for Canadians but yeah. any one who gets that from the nfl generally takes it. christo bilukidi, boy we had some drafts back then eh lol

Where this team has been more often than not.

Dinwiddie...check mate

I'm just spit-balling here, but maybe the Bombers had limited options to fill the coaching roles due to the operations cap. Not alot of money left for top level position coaches when Walters and O'Shea prolly got raises with their extentions.

almost every qb turned successful hc failed as a player. That’s the single strongest pipeline of coaches/offensive minds. For hogan being back, 🤢. Not super surprised but disappointed. Very happy jake is retiring. For him becoming the dl coach, I see more positives than negatives. On one hand, He isn’t the type of guy i’d go to normally for a dl coach. Interior lunch bucket type guy. But, he has played beside a ton of great dl. And he’s played roles that was supposed to enable them to do their job better. If he’s soaked up the tech from guys like roh, patterson, etc then he will be in a great position. There is an incredible amount of resources to coach the nuances of pass rushing and run stopping. We’ve come a very long way from the days of reading the chapter on dl play from buddy ryan’s book. If jake doesn’t have a lock on that side he can easily get it if he wants to succeed. As a player I never really saw it from him, but he did have a ton of motor (when he could actually move lol. Our dl coaching hasn’t shined in a very long time. The addition by subtraction of jake leaving the field is huge. A change at coaching the position will likely yield at least a bit of an improvement in that area.

salary cap increases of a significant amount is extremely rare. I would not be banking on another increase before the next cba/tv deal. I don’t think other teams have had as high a rate of over paying guys when they resign. We also gamble on guys like kramdi and lawson when it comes to extensions. We do so hoping that we pay a bit more the first year then save money after that and have an easier time on the following contract. Bc is certainly the team who has over paid other teams free agents the most in the doman era. Them and edmonton who are constantly trying to fix bad teams in free agency. Right now, every one seems to be using the increased cap space to front load deals and over pay guys who resign. At this point, I don’t think guys who go to free agency will do early as well as the guys who lock in before the end of this year.

Is this a joke?

Their parents?

On the plus side, we don't have to argue/***** about Jake starting. I'm more upset Hogan stays unless its a money thing.
