I've got a shiny nickel for each of you who finally decides to shut the **** up about last years cup.

Report: Maple Leafs hiring Berube as head coach Arniel moves up from 10th to 9th

K-Law just bananas

The last time I would have seen it was in the 1980’s when you had to roster 11 starting Canadians including special teams IIRC. The standard make-up was 5 Canadians on the o-line, starting fullback, two slot backs, and on defence the safety and the nose tackle, for 10 there, plus the kicker/punter (one doing dual work, or both being Canadian). And the Bombers once had an extra Canadian start with House/Poplawski at slot, the 5 OL (Walby, Bonk, Bastaja, Moors, Nemeth, and later Bauer, Black, Molle and Rodehuskers), Kehoe, Huklack or Hudson at fullback, Bennett, Flagel, or Allen at safety and Mikawod at nose tackle. Add Cameron/Kennerd and we had 12. The extra starter was Darryl Sampson at halfback, as his mom was Jamaican I believe so he actually qualified as a Canadian starter, so we could roster 13 Canadian starters.

yeah...Kramdi started last yr...but shouldnt have,,,,and shouldnt this yr either....we should be starting Woli...NO....Demski....3 olineman and Lawson as defacto designated starters on each side of ball....really anything after that should not happen unless a NI blows any import at his spot right out of the water...and Can't see that happening...That being said I would like to see an 8th on defence...Hopefu;;y it's Ford as he is our next best Canadian there and would not hburt us in the slightest at boundary corner or SAM and has most upside of any NI we currently have here....That way we can freely rotate in an extra DI which would greatly improve our front.....more than 8 is a waste and making us a weaker starting 24

Good time for CAR mini-rebuild. I'll take Jarvis and a coach please.

If O'Shea passes Grant in playoff wins then undoubtedly he would be the top coach in Bomber history. Bud has 15 playoff wins and Mike sits at 8. You'd think a few Grey Cups would be included in those additional wins.

He started because ford wasn’t here. Kramdi isnt going any where, and he’s the ideal guy to have as the back up db and package guy.

All the talk of kick return changes amount to nothing. Bit surprising, think they should’ve tested some option in pre season.

The O going 2 and out constantly didn’t help either. People like to blame the D but our O was ****. Collaros sucked. If we gonna revisit the cup game I think you need to point more fingers at collaros and the O who pretty much did nothing for 50 minutes. lol people still pretending kramdi won’t be starting after starting last year and signing a new 3 year deal. Seriously?

He did good I mean lawler is that kind of guy. Must be insane to be a db in this camp lol. the tug on the jersey could do with out though. the 3 ol, demski, woli, brady, Lawson that’s a strong 7. Plus ford. Lawson is a beast and played great last year. He should be the starter and see the most dt snaps. But we will Jake that all up I’m sure.

VAN has the best riots.

And I agree there. We can count up a half dozen plays in that game, and any one of them flips the other way, and we very well see a much happier outcome. So many games can come down to those half dozen plays and a strong factor in switching the outcome. The agony and ecstasy of sport.

The sdsu connections up here are real strong.

I’ll be honest. I’m not convinced we have 7 legit starting Canadians. So to start 9 10. That would be handicapping ourselves pretty big time.

I can agree with that belief too, although maybe it would have made no difference even if we got more push. Maybe it would have made all the difference in the world (and a compelling argument can be made). Whether the lack of push was coaching schemes, bad rotation implementation due to bad roster decisions leaving no usable back-ups, or just plain we got outplayed by the opposition that day, who can say with certainty? Maybe a different roster deployment would have made the difference, maybe not. It’s opinion, not fact. And maybe all the what ifs on plays I suggested would have made no difference (i.e.Brady doesn’t fumble in the red zone but we still get nothing because something else like a gassed field goal happens, no one knows for sure). I just see what actually happened in plays and can say “that tangibly cost us something” as opposed to “not dressing that guy was clearly the wrong decision” as the more accurate explanation for why we lost that day. Again, just my opinion.

He didn't win this battle. I'm not sure who could have really covered this better. Ford looks ready for a big season.

Of course. However I see no way that can be done with 10 or 9 starting nis. Look at any imp on our roster. Look at their college experience and athletic numbers. Then ask your self, where would they be drafted as an ni? Or try to find one imp who wouldn’t go in the first round.

Edmonton outplaying Vancouver in my opinion but that tending situation in Edmonton is costing them. I got a call from Edmonton. It was Kenny Holand calling all available former goalies.

Osh 4 wins away from 100. Pretty impressive. Only grant has more and believe it’s 102 wins. Quietly O’Shea is becoming the goat of bomber coaches.

Cool interview with Kody. He talks about being a college teammate with Strevy.

FYP - not sorry!

I don’t think we will go 10. I think we will stay imp at lber, It’s also possible that if neuf misses a game we could go 3 imp ol. Personally I’d start ford with Kramdi backing up pending tc performances, Lawson, woli, Demski, the 3 no ok unless neuf can’t go. If Brady can’t go I’d flip to an imp rb. Which would likely balance out to 8 Canadian starters pending injury availability. That would likely see Cole at S if ba can’t go wil other wise. Kyrie goes to mac, if ba can’t go then the best imp lber goes at wil. It’ll be tough any way you cut it with either a big drop off starting soo many nis or having soo many guys in new positions. We will likely need to spend more time in camp and pre season developing and trying to make the best of several imps rather than weeding out who stays and who goes. We are going to need imp rookie starter production immediately in the regular season. Which means those rookies need lots of reps in the first half of the pre season games and with the starters in camp. The cuts likely won’t be the hard work this tc.

TBF, the Leafs still suck. Sorry can't help myself.
