Augustine really served no purpose on the team. Yeah I guess he learned how to play special teams... but you should be able to find someone who can do that pretty easily.

Yes they absolutely can lol. See Bo Levi. He had tremendous stats last year. But they came too little too late. Which basically sums up Harris' CFL career. If harris has proven anything as a qb in the CFL it's that stats will absolutely lie lol. Remember when the bombers played hamilton and they had the ball on the final drive and had to score? What did they do? Who controlled that drive? Now Remember the banjo bowl when Harris had an almost identical situation. You let me know how that played out. Those two games nicely sum up both careers imo. Collaros isn't perfect, but I'll take a guy who has proven he can get it done multiple times, even if it's ugly over a guy who puts up stats but has never gotten it done.

I believe the new OC told Strev that this season would be different otherwise he wouldn't have re signed. I'm excited to see what the offense looks like this year. Also there was video of Strev throwing yesterday with Chad Davis and it looked like he'd never been injured. That man is a freak of nature.

He also said last year wasn't what he expected - was that an assumption on his part or was he lead to believe he'd be used a certain way and it didn't end up happening? Whatever the case, we know now that he was given enough information as to what his role would be this season to get him to come back. Hopefully it plays out that way.

Maier needs elite talent around him...and superior coaching...I see neither there for him is Sask

I do agree, this is supposed to be a deep cfl draft, though I don't think it's super deep at OL. But if we can get another back up and maybe another lotto ticket that'd be pretty good. We should be looking to add one way or another still though. Dt, lawson is the answer if he stays healthy and we bench jake for him. Lawson and woods as starting DTs is tremendous. We need Pass rushing depth though. Another 3 tech, and maybe 2 guys who can rush off the edge.

Our Oline just keeps getting older, we have less Canadian depth there, we let a young Canadian walk out the door and we didn't upgrade the worst C in the CFL. Our front 4 added a nice vet in Vaughters but nothing at DT which was a weakness. 2019, 2021 we had excellent talent and depth along the lines. Not so much anymore. It hurt us in our last 3 Cup losses. We don't seem to be addressing it. We're hosting the Cup. This is why I'm frustrated and why I think Walters performance has slipped.

They’ll have to use an NI backup elsewhere but Peyton Logan signing pretty much pushed Augustine off the roster on offence and MCI can take over as the ST/RB depth

MCI replaces Augustine. Augustine had the chance to take the starting job in 2021, he didn't.

It can't be worse... I dunno what was going on with Buck last season but man there were issues.

well...he did ask for assurance he would be allowed to prior to re-signing.....so if the re-nag on that assurance...thats pretty pathetic on the Bombers part

That’s a great question. Let’s hope the answer is yes and my thinking is, based on CS’s presser after signing, there was a conversation had prior to him picking up the pen.

Collaros had an absolute disaster class of a beginning of the season because the Bombers big-brained themselves into giving pretty much all the veterans training camp and preseason off. Collaros goes into the season with no time to gel with anyone and an injured Brady. Then he immediately loses Lawler to a broken arm and 2 games later Schoen blows out his knee and then in week 4 he actually gets hurt. If you measure the stats for Collaros and Harris from when Harris came back from his injury (and Zach was working into somewhat of a groove and finally learned his new receivers names) they are almost statistically the same. The issue is that Collaros is dealing with regressing from being a perennial MOP candidate and Harris is pretty much what he always has been. Harris has always been known for moving the ball between the 30s. The Riders managed to take a super impressive turnover ratio and turn it into a really impressive number of punts and field goal attempts.

I believe there is ample evidence that Collaros is past his "best before date" and succession planning should be well underway if it is not. Given O'Shea's predilection for hanging onto fading players, I have doubts that this has happened. There is good reason to believe that a) Collaros is no longer good enough to take the team to the Grey Cup game, and may not even finish the season. and b) If (and that is a big if) Streveler is given the coaching and playbook to let him shine plus Terry Wilson, that ought to give us a competitive team but might not be enough to take us all the way again, but at least the team will be moving in the right direction, not hoping to squeeze another year out of aging players.

Once again, the right move would have been to pick up the phone and make a better offer for Adams than Calgary did. Hell, half of me thinks we should have done that as well. However, Zac gives us a far better chance to win than Harris gives the Riders. At the end of the day you can put the stat sheet up for Harris but he is aged out. Bottom line is that every time you start a 40 year old QB you are taking significant risk in losing your season.

To be fair, MBT was among the league leaders in passing till he was yoinked as well. In 22 he creamed zach in yards, and dane evans was 4th a head of rourke. I think the argument would be that last year isn't a reflection of what zach is or can do. I fully expect zach to outperform his play from last year. But I'm not sure he will physically hold up. I think he will either be a strong MOP candidate, or will be injured and replaced mid season ish.

it's never an over pay for a Canadian Oline man...especially a young one who layed well...and still has upside...DB's..recievers....Lb's...there so many churned out in the NCAA you never have to over pay if your scouting and talent assesment once you get them here is legit...other than the every now and then guy who comes along and is a true difference maker,,,then you get them in your room and adjust elsewhere to make it work...You should be able to do that paying 5..6 guys on your roster premium money if you have built a roster wisely..thats active and PR..and other than a real stupid contract...what is an over pay?...especially when we for most part have no idea of the SM structure a team has...That being said Walter's mindset of X amount of dollars to this group...X amount to that and not wavering is a bad practice....you need to be able to recognize where u may get good bang for bigger bucks and be able to adjust accordingly too Harris is probably the most brittle QB in the league...and is a perenial non-difference maker...and aint gonna change that moniker pushing 40 yrs old

It was a bad performance well before that line, IMO.

I love Chantal Kreviazuk but that was horrible,

Just heard Chantal Kreviasiuk sing Oh Canada, and after that I never want to hear whining about how bad Stacy Nattress is again.

Do you actually think paying one player (Dobson) in free agency $200,000 was going to upset the salary cap apple cart? C'mon. And if it did, so what? This is pro football. The best get paid. The grizzled veterans know that. Dobson's young. Has potential. Guys like Neufeld won't make it thru training camp without having to take significant time off. Dobson is a road grader. Never missed a down last season. He was an All Star whether half you guys believed it or not. Now, he's in Hamilton & will probably be an anchor on their OL for years to come. We draft. We refuse to pay so we end up developing players for other teams. We are not a destination point anymore. Players do their time here & leave. Or won't sign here. We're devloping a reputation for being cheap.

I have been a Bomber fan for some 50 years and cannot recall a more "meh" off-season. Yes, its not over yet and some of the previous optimism was sadly misplaced, but still.....meh. Logan is the only reason for optimism so far.

I will actually be choked if Alexander doesn’t sign with Hammy.

In one signing, Logan took out Augustine and Lucky.

Absolutely why not until proven otherwise. Once the shackles come off, lets see what we got.

Very much so. And at this point we have a near un paralleled amount of parity in QBs both starting and back ups league wide. Basically every team has a starting QB they've chosen and a very solid qb2 with a good resume who can reasonably play if/when forced into action. The problem as I see it, is only bad teams move on to young qbs. League-wide teams wait till the wheels fall off their franchise to make QB changes to give developing guys a chance. But then those guys get run over constantly playing on bad teams. A few years ago I never would've thought we'd still see soo many old starters leading teams still, or with primary back up roles. I bet the average age league wide of starting QBs out of camp will be 33+. Bc, moved on to rourke not to develop but because they thought he would instantly be better than Vaj. And he wasn't. Montreal moved on to davis this off season, and I commend them for that. Though they have done little else this off season and it makes that move look like a cost cutting move.

Honestly I hope that anthems before games go away... Just get to the game.

Yep. It does seem like they are starting to get a better-surrounding cast, but they are in dire need of fresh blood at QB. To be fair, we are and so is 3/4 of the league. The team that wins the QB arms race with youth is going to be the next force in this league for years to come.

TH is not THE man. He's always been more of that supporting cast. Unfortunately for Sask, they don't have that man. Welcome to the role of the GM and the Scouting Department. Mr. O'Day has a nicely fitted Teflon jacket to distract, shift where the problem lands.

I agree, he certainly was good not great. I think he's still in the matt nichols tier that way. He's a better version who won, but not significantly. I think he was broken before age by beatings he took in places like edmonton as well. Yeah, old age QBs are seldom a good idea. Wrong side of 35 with a QB is a bad gamble. It might work out, it might not. It might be the only or best option a team has. But I think it is always a bad gamble to take.

You don't think O'Day is capable of completing a trade? You may be right, Idk, but the option was most certainly there for them too. Harris has been a league leader in dink and dunk for his entire career. The past 5 years has seen him, WHEN HEALTHY, put up great stats with a losing record to go with it. He has not been healthy much though, and there is no QB I would rather have on the bench or on the IR when the rubber hits the road then Harris. The guy is NOT and never will be a gamer. He is Kevin Glenn 2.0

You are unhinged. I love it. Never change.

But she made up for it. Publicist Adam Gonshor in an email to The Associated Press confirmed Chantal Kreviazuk changed the lyric from “in all of us command” to “that only us command” and confirmed Trump’s 51st state comments were the reason why. During the game, Kreviazuk told the AP she did it “because I believe in democracy, and a sovereign nation should not have to be defending itself against tyranny and fascism.

of course certain gms overpay, especially those that are on losing teams.. "its not an overpay if the markets say.s" is a gross simplification. Its no coincidence that the gms doling out the biggest salaries are Hamilton and Edm. One gm does not determine the whole market> the playoff teams from ly are noticably absent in these signings. Or do you think Robbie Smith with 6 sacks deserves to be the highest paid defensive player in the cfl? (its not on the player its on the gm) I do agree that the Bombers need to be more aggressive esp when players like McEwen become available or Ceresna, Dobson not so much

Less injury prone?? Lol wtf...have you just not watched any cfl for the past 2 years? The lack of self awareness is outstanding lol!!

8 seconds and no fights.

This is recency bias. We have had WAY worse FA periods and some of the pre-FA signings would have been raved about in past years.

I really wish they went out and spent the money on high impact linemen on both sides of the ball... you dominate the trenches and good things happen. Also- was really hoping we landed Wynton...

Depends on the match-up. Despite their flaws, Jets have had some brutal first round pairings the last few years (St. Louis who were on a heater and won the Cup, Edmonton who we swept, Vegas who won the Cup, and our reward for a 110 point season last year was playing the 106 point Avs who were two years removed from winning the Cup). No one seems to factor that in when considering our ouster each year. Hopefully we see Vancouver, Calgary, or even Minnesota in round one this year.

Not even. He developed into a serviceable special teamer. Initially he wasn't terribly impressive there. His value was primarily that he could in theory contribute as a runningback... though they never gave him many chances there.

Bighill as well as Brandon Alexander, Noah Hallett & Nick Taylor.

Johnny August won't return....

as do I....I know what he can do...seen it....and if allowed to....will impress our success this yr is gonna be in how we are coached and managed...and if a few question marks come thru....thats how I see it....We aren't a team with the best players across the board anymore in their prime....who are hungry and motivated like 19/21 We have a FEW top o the line guys still....but rest is a mish mash now of guys who showed potential before an injury....are entering 2nd and 3rd yrs and need/deserve a legit opportunity...and a handfull of plugs who are just in the way and in no way shape or form the future....and are in all honesty hurting us more than anything...It's how Osh manages this and how he approaches in game decisions thats gonna dictate our success....I personally have my doubts he will be great in this regard....totaly based on the past 4...5 yrs now

You're ignoring the move they made to acquire Jake Maier for an 8th round draft pick, which was a great deal I wish Walters would have jumped on. He easily qualifies as the 2nd or 3rd best seasoned backup in the league behind Fajardo and MBT but at only 27 it remains a mystery whether he will emerge as a QB that can lead a team or not. It's fair to say he's a superior backup option than anything the Bombers can roll out this season, and if Harris goes down in game 2, they won't be in a state of panic or despair.

Anthems at tournaments make sense. Anthems before every nhl games don’t.

I think Harris was a good QB, not great, but certainly passable. What he is now is 40. I don't care if he's Peyton Manning, running it back with a 40+ QB is not a good idea. Could it work out? Sure. However, there was a ton of QB movement this year and the Riders decided to run it back with an ancient QB. If there were no options whatsover, sure bring him back. However, there were options....many of them.

Tburg is a beet farmer too....weird...
