I don't hate this. at all.

You really hate the Ottawa ALLCAPS ... 
Also I think JBR was talking about BOLo and Bailey following DB

What made Stove a "true DT" and Sayles and Walker not? Stove was the best DT in the league at the time... Sayles was playing at a near All-star level for us and then was an All-star as soon as he left and got more shine on a team without Willie and Jackson overshadowing him...
Ricky is not quite as good as either Sayles or Stove. I'm not disagreeing with anyone there. But he's a solid starter in this league, not a guy that was hurting the defense.
I'm not saying Ricky couldn't be improved upon, just that I think it's ridiculous to say we need a "true DT" just because we were so spoiled with Stove and nobody has been able to replicate his production in the last few years. We need what everyone needs, a stud pass rushing american defensive tackle who generates pressure because he is too athletic for slower Canadian interior linemen to handle. Ricky does that, just not as well as the aforementioned players

A glaring hole? Casey Sayles was one of the best DTs in the league in '22 and was again in '23 after the Bombers let him walk. Even last year it's overblown to say DT was a glaring hole.

Should they have just handed Ricky the starting DT position with minimal competition? Definitely not, but even then Ricky performed well in '23. Teams look for gap shooting 3-techs out of their Americans and have their Canadian DTs work the 1-tech spot and plug against the run.

Not an active poster on here but read a lot on the team and closely watch/record every game and frankly disagree with you here, though I do respect your opinion

I don't hate the team. I hate how all the bad head coaches & GM's they've had have eaten up & spit out their players. Especially at qb. Look how Caleb Evans, Nick Arbuckle & Dustin Crum have been thrown out on the field with little or no help from their offensive coaches only to get beaten down, chewed up & spit out by that team.
They show no appreciaation or loyalty to a kid like Dustin Crumb who was a warrior for them last year as they keep recruiting the Next Big Thing at qb every off season only to have them constantly fail. They keep failing because every year they start over with another rookie qb with little experience. They sell a bill of goods to their fanbase who have now decided to stay away in the thousands.
They'll sign Brown, sell him as the Saviour of their team, make him their starter & throw him to the wolves while tossing Crumb aside after all the work & effort he put in on a shitty team learning the CFL game with a crap offense last year. The City of Ottawa deserves much better than they're getting from Sean Burke & Bob Dyce. 

No way Chode Smelly gets that 25 yard run in the GC with a 2019 caliber nose tackle.

I think most on here, lament the loss of a dominant interior lineman when he played, whether that was stove or nevis. I dont recall anyone calling for the Bombers to sign him. 

I hope so. Having that hole in our defense really cost us. 

Thanks for clearing that up. I never said we should sign Richardson who is trying a comeback with the Lions in 2024.  I said we need another player as effective as Richardson was for us.

Jodie Foster has shocked the “Star Wars” fandom by confirming she was offered the role of Princess Leia, but turned it down because she didn't want to break a contract she had with Disney. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/jodie-foster-says-turned-princess-leia-role-star-wars-disney-contract-rcna134711
Now, you would think her portrayal of a 13yr old hooker in Taxi Driver would have broke her contract with Disney.

TBF, the post was better than The Tommyknockers

When I read this I was thinking it's hard to imagine the Bombers don't have one of those picks... we basically ignored the nationalize Canadian rule all season...
Thanks for the answer Jesse.
