Awe is a dirty mofo but hes our dirty mofo now so... Solid addition

there's definitely a level of "I'VE HEARD OF THIS GUY THEREFORE HE'S GOOD!" with this signing.....good depth, but Kyrie Wilson is awesome.

Derek Dennis says there was no interest in him from CFL teams. Maybe they became aware of his lack of understanding about fog.

to be honest...I'm expecting it

Seen this on The Exorcist before I think...

7 pages and no signing. Walters sliding downhill already....

When a fan gets a tattoo of you wearing shorts and a cowboy hat, after you won a GC and ended a 29 year drought...You're a legend

180k? yeah, sign him immediately

Reported on 1290 radio today that Walker is asking 180K. Doesn't sound exorbitant.

Wilson all day over Awe. If he didn't cheap shot guys we wouldn't even know he existed.

If only we didn't have holes to fill...damn!!! hahaha

Walters is killing it.

I can't remember the exact question after MOS re-signed post GC win, but Friesen asked some question about rumours of being fired/let go if they didn't win. MOS said something like "Don't worry, you will get to write that article eventually" 😄

Why I got so angry at the folks ready to fire everyone. Stability with good people in charge gets you where you need to be.

note that Blagojevich is a Democrat, so we must speak favorably of him on MBB or else we are giant hypocrites who have lost the moral standing to ever call politicians out for bad / criminal behavior. that's how this works, right? just need to know what I have to post in order to remain shielded from charges of lefty hypocracy.

Not as the base D. Just some situational stuff, with all the hybrid guys we are amassing on D. Bombers should be able to throw a bunch of different looks out there.

Oh, good. I was worried he was going to say that he would never sign here and looks forward to getting out of town as soon the season ends after the first round of the playoffs. Who asked him that question??

Yeah? I can now do gin curls in both directions...

were you reading the rider forum

new contract is a good birthday present!

as I said in the other forum...I see Biggie daily...and what he's doing training wise and he is 100 percent healthy...from his sled work...weight and range he does on a Jefferson curl and his squats...there's nothing wrong with his Hammy, and if there was even a slight issue with it still...it would have exploded already..also looks a lot more leaner and athletic than last year

My thoughts are that Walker goes to BC. Wouldn't mind picking up Rhymes though. I also This Roosevelt still has some game left. Arceneaux no thanks

He is fast, and he does hit hard, but Kyrie is a stud. He doesn't dance around enough after making plays I guess.

Ma little ears are burnin, ya gotta be talkin bout me.

Thats what I figure as well...He and Wilson will battle for starter spot, and one will be the DI...and probably see some rotation as well. Anyway you cut it, our line backing group is now way stronger than last year with essentially 4 guys who could start anywhere in the league

Not sure what to think about Awe. With his history, I sure hope he cleans up his act, otherwise he's not the sort of player I'd normally like to see in blue and gold.

He will adapt to the Bombers culture otherwise MOS will show him the door.

Not a big fan, leads alot with his head. Dangerous player, athletic. Hope he changes his ways here if he sees the field.

love to see Bombers spraying champagne all over that locker room imagine the outcry of their fans.

yes we would... and that would be amazing...

Only way to end the drought..... was finally bringing in the right management and the right coach. They built the culture, I had been looking for forever. Expect this team to be a perennial contender.

OMG its the mass exodus to the XFL that Justin Dunk warned us about...!!!

We did know this.. The Bomber culture keeps on growing. We know it. We hear it all the time. But I still like hearing about it. Here’s Josh Johnson and his take... “I had a few offers… I was talking with Calgary, with Winnipeg and still in contact with Edmonton,” said Johnson in a conversation from his offseason base in Florida. “But talking to different guys around the league and the guys who play in Winnipeg and they were all talking about the organization and how it changes you as a player, about how much they loved playing there.“I know they have a great coach and playing against Coach O’Shea and seeing how he coaches makes you want to play for him. Being a small league you hear so many different stories about playing for different teams. A lot of it is from coaches and when you are around guys who understand the game it makes you want to be a part of it. Talking to so many guys, it had me stuck on coming to Winnipeg.“Plus,” Johnson added with a chuckle, “I already know it’s a good decision because I’ve had so many people welcome me to Winnipeg. It’s really been ridiculous the response from fans, different players and they’re all telling me I’m going to love being there.” https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/02/17/already-know-good-decision-johnson-looking-make-winnipeg-football-home/?utm_source=dlvr.it

Derek Dennis seems to think he is replacing Biggie😄 As annoying a player as there was in our league. Enjoy the XFL

Swapping Korey Jones for Micah Awe is a significant upgrade... I like Walters' free agency season a lot

The more I think of it, Him at safety, in the minds of any receiver even thinking of coming across the middle has got to have them pretty leery..especially with Bighill in the middle, and Josh Johnson and Alexander back there...both hitters too... An Alexander/Johnson/Awe/Taylor/Jones back field would be a pretty scary group if you ask me...also Antigha in that mix...pretty versatile group thats being put together..

Awe is a hard hitter and an impact player. Was always a guy you had to account for on the field. Unless I'm thinking of someone completely different this is quite the signing. Maybe more credibility to a 3-4 defense?

Now... if only the riders can go through the east on a cross over and win the ESF and the EF so we can take the first ever grey cup in NMS...

No. It’s his choice. Some May call it the D.D. factor...

It’s pretty funny that trump is so stupid he doesn’t even realize Barr is protecting him and doing his bidding and all trump has to do is shut up.

4-4 over the last two years... 2-4 in the regular season... 2-0 in the playoffs... I’ll take that “guaranteed win” every year...

If we're trying to land guys on the cheap, put me in the Edwards/Smith camp over two aging, declining vets like Manny and Roosevelt. That would be like Adarius Bowman/Chris Mathews Redux.

Yea..It was the first time all game Clarke managed to get his hands around someone. The rest of the day he was just waving his arms as players ran by him.

When you bring back Josiah St.John as a major free agent signing, you ain't crushing it. You've been crushed.
