sucks to go out not on your own terms, but this may spell the end...earliest he will be back at his age is likely now/labor day next yr. So consider the transition process in effect now, and would be prudent with PR expansion to also get some guys in for a look, and as well give Ayers and Jones now legit looks...and if Biggie does rehab and get back to game ready, I think it would be again a dumb move to re-insert him especially if we have new young blood playing well. He will tho be a valuable guy during this and next season as a set of eyes and a coach for us as he rehabs...with salary not on the books...I can see him being an excellent coach

The best thing we can do for Bighill is win the Grey Cup this year so he can retire on top! Then become an assistant coach.

The early injection of Bryant and Randle early on, started this domino effect of players coming over to this organization and making history. Never did I think we'd ever land a Bighill, the guy has been arguably one of the most important players in team history. Throw him into a coaching capacity, we'd benefit for years to come.

Wilson was rounding back into form just before his latest injury IMO.

Bighill has been a great player for us but he needs to retire. I agree it would be great to have him as a coach.

Always thought the receiving core really started to come together when we signed Darvin Adams... Early on though.. Dressler was big boost, though he got hurt alot here unfortunately

With the restrictive front office cap, and the fact you can 6game/ public appearance pay guys out side of the player cap it would actually be extremely advantageous to have a guy like biggie as a “player” coach.

Neuf too....he was the first pillar actually.....hard to believe he been here 11 yrs now I think...was hurt a bit atfirst and we kept having to trot him out there less than 100 percent because the cupboards were baren....he has put in the time and full dues here as part of the culture with Big Stan...he doesn't get a lot of the credit he's due really....his voice carries a lot of clout inside the walls of the locker room

Absolute beauty of an upload by Waders27 on his YouTube page. The 2003 LDC full game - which if I recall correctly is Milt torching Davin Bush all game.

His contract is up after this year. https://www.bluebombers.com/2022/11/29/blue-bombers-agree-to-terms-on-two-year-contract-extension-with-linebacker-adam-bighill/

Going to be tough for them to settle the roster. Ayers and jones are important teams pieces, but Cole is a beast on teams and versatile as a package guy, kyrie would be a big improvement in run stopping if he’s ready. But we can’t carry all those guys. Really need Adam’s back on, Hubert would be good this week too.

I believe he has another year left that being said I think his time as a Bomber has come to an abrupt end.

Hold my beer...mate...

Hope it's Case. He secures the ball and puts up the same numbers as Lucky.

well...seing as he under contract for next yr...and will be rehabbing a knee injury that will take 10 months...minimum.... can see him doing the Mike Miller on the 6 game all yr, as he is on sideline coaching up the new breed

If Lucky, Woli, and Johnson are off then they'll need to add at least 1 more receiver with Wheatfall. Otherwise there would be no back up. Likely Case coming in at KR then. Would love to get Adams, Cole, and Kyrie back on but will be tough to find 3 other imports to take off. Bridges for sure I would hope.

It’s a big difference between carrying a 7th ni ol and burning a di for the 7th ol too

if only Osh would pull the bee outta his arse about that ruke and actually use it...not using it doesnt help the roster in any way yup...they get washed out with Jake...mov3d right out of the direction of the play

Do we go 6 oline guys with MCI back...Clercius and use Schmeck as the exyta guy in Jumbo? Neuf played welllast game....so does Randolph go off for one of Cole or Wilson....I'd be fine with that especially if Neuf shows back to back he not inadequate. I think we really need to beef up the dline and if we can get another guy like Wilson or Cole on who can range with the best of them and are good tacklers Running some schemes with Jones..Wilson...Griffen and Cole all out there in some capacity would fare very well....and have noticed Ayers has been getting a ot of snaps last 2 games on defence as well...thats a very athletic group

Yeah will be Wheatfall for Johnson With the run threat and probably lots of work on the Dline I would think Adams for Bridges No way in heck Ayers is pulled....Not sure how one of Wilson or Cole gets added...

He said it’s not the end of 4, but he has to be stopped from coming back. He is about to turn 36 and hasn’t been 100% for a year and a half to two years. He never should’ve played hurt down the stretch last year. Hes dropped off soo bad since early last year it’s scary. Dude needs to prioritize health and quality of life now. I’d be stoked to have him coach lbers. Stanley can be shuffled to another spot. We need a reshuffle on some ast coaches bad any way.

Bighill officially done for the year...

Jay Detain? Still scored more TDs than Kito Poblah in the end!

I think you just triggered speedflex...

That guy has a ton of great clips and compilations. Or the sharpie incident with malveaux? Or the bc 4 td game? Haha that’s guys probably needed ear plugs to survive.

Imagine the conversations Milt was having with him all game? Lol.

Unfortunately, my mistake, this is not where Milt lights him up - but still an utter ass kicking all game.

Based on what Milt did to him that game, appropriate last name (i.e., Bush League). 🙂

I think it would be impossible to roster Hart immediately but I would like to see the guy on KR.

If you go back and watch the 2023 Banjo Bowl...you will see Brown up to his same old tricks....he never got flagged for it but just before the 8 min mark of the second qtr....Lanier got and RFP call from shoving ZC from behind after the ball was thrown for a Lawler catch...watch Brown...was coming off the right edge...and as he went to the ground he intentionally rolled and leg whipped ZC across the knees...totally intent driven, and seems like a common theme with him going over the line to hurt.....I recommend you go watch it if....Guys a piece of dirt...and typical Sask culture....he's the sneaky dirty...Just like Lanier....talking to guys who play...they say he's one the guys who likes to take liberties after the whistle...and in piles

was gonna say..Wilson was looking back to 2019-2021 Wilson...he'd be key to get back in place of Biggies spot yeah Smith is the better addition...wasn't hurt...we just made the odd switch to Case..who really offers us nothing extraordinary...dont even know why him and Mitchell are still taking up PR spots

Wilson has been awful since he got back from achilles injury. I'm sure they'll find a way to get him on the roster but if it's for Jones, Ayers or Griffin it's a bad bad move.

Here's a spreadsheet of every nonstop ('direct') flight from Winnipeg to somewhere with a beach, sorted by the number of hours to fly there

Plus ,hes got a lucrative "side" job........

Definitely....Biggie would bring a wealth of experience for the newbies and would be an invaluable assistant....I say he sticks around for a very long time in some capacity....he luvs it in Bomberland

yup...it's a waste....should have kept that global OL guy we carried for 2 yrs who never got a sniff

as fall is a change in weather.....so shall your roster...we have horses to not have to dress 7...7 is a pure luxury if you can do it and not scrimp elsewhere....we aren't in that situation to be scrimping anywhere...for 4 to 6 snaps a game...Schmeck or one of the Rook's can do the job We need to expand on that and start at times sliding the TE out for a pass...nobody covers our guys cause they know exactly what we are going to do...ELI was home free for a toss and waltz into the endzone on the Lawler TD....which was really a forced throw too and lucky to been completed

If kyrie is ready use him as a naturalized imp would be huge too. This roster could vary wildly

would be ideal, and give us the best overall roster coverage...but we seem to like to short change ourselves in some instances...and roster guys who serve minimal if any purpose....tweaks...just minor tweaks is all it takes

I pretty sure Lucky will play and yeah was pretty expected that Hubert would hit a wall considering where he was drated...Once teams got a look at what he had to offer...he got neutralized pretty quick

I wonder if Wilson is actually close. He’s always been real shaky coming back from injuries. leaves us with out a kr. Case or smith is likely to come back on if lucky can’t go. I don’t think they are comfortable with the guys we have as more than in game subs. I’d like to see hart get a look but idk if he will be ready that fast. He dropped off pretty good, seemed like he hit a rookie wall. But he’s still our most sound end in terms of run stopping and contain. As well as getting off blocks. Which is sad.

You forgot Johnson being released another spot to fill.

Key pieces were added early on, probably overpays that paid off in the long run - Stanley Bryant comes to mind.

Since we have a Ford V Ford battle, TSN needs to give us Duane Ford and not Suitor.

Classic Buff... "Rehab?? Ehhhh that sounds like a lot of work..." Too funny. He's seen often at LOTW Sports HQ on Nairn and is just living his best life fishing almost 365 days a year...

Basically yeah...was no need to do that.. yet he did...it had purpose behind it

Yup...that's the play...no need for Lanier obviously...and Def no need fir Browns maneuver...was totally on purpose...similar to his cheapie on Brown this yr...good find!

Biggie was already out for the banjo bowl, hurt during Labour Day?
