better roster management, similar player coach types but mos has passed the point of diminishing returns and mace hasn’t. could really use one of those old wj dominates the riders games too -

imo, yes. based on being the best qb for a few years, an over all long strong career and rings. he’s not in the discussion for top league qbs, maybe mid tier among hof qbs. 3 keys for me 1, find an x factor. its going to be hard for us to out score the riders straight up. probably need teams or D score or a bunch of turn overs. 2 mistake free offence. we can’t afford give aways or to falter in the red zone. 3 secondary is primary source of D. that dl isn’t going to carry the day with the all canadian interior. kyrie doesn’t have dominance left and jones is a box tackler. the secondary will have to be the strength of our D and give fits to harris. -

yeah that’s the use age i’d expect. woodbey is big enough to be a trend setting wil who plays like a sam, but we didn’t try him like that at all. That, and they are the best D at creating pressures, hits and top 3 in sacks. bad match up for our O -

nah not even close. last year he caught 32/40, this year he has 30/43. 70% catch rate is still very good, 80% is hard to keep up for any one. Clercius is still extremely young in his career. Hes 25 in his 2nd year, and barely played wr in college. for highly polished wrs like lawler it takes a year or two to click. clercius still has tons of ceiling and time to fulfill it. and at that, he’s already an excellent guy playing a gritty role. -

woodbey in at wil is strange. have to think he’s going to be the 2nd safety in place of kelly when we go with that look. Back up secondary/lber at the expense of DL is soo dumb. even for the mafia. Have no faith that schoen will be close to what he should be. Roster is ugly, hard to expect much in regina/LD. but with a below expectations roster, any thing position the field will be a nice surprise. -
Former Bombers in NFL (and spring leagues) news

For us, I think best case is he sits down there, gets released late with out TC invites for next year, so signs with us early enough then is in full rookie camp forward. I'd say go into camp next year with zach, elgersma, wilson, chase, and strevy or another league vet. Then break camp and dress Elgersma as qb3. Hopefully with a vet as a qb2, and 1 qb on the PR. If chase/wilson doesn't pan out you use the PR qb spot to try out developmental guys. -

It's a signing bonus, it would be paid immediately for the extension. And would allow him to be paid very, very well for the remainder of this year, while not leaving us committed to a crazy cap hit for him next year if he doesn't get NFL interest. Doesn't make a lot of sense to give him a big roster bonus for after the NFL window next year, he'd have no reason to sign that and come up here today. He may as well just wait till then. Mean while we have excessive cap room because of the lack of signings and use of the cap extension. -

The UFL has no agreement with the cfl when it comes to honoring contracts or rights last I heard. Is it still going to exist? I'm doubtful. But even if it does fail, another spring league will take its place. If he sits the whole year down there, though, we lose his rights next year. I think it's just a case of they recognize how good his talent and how coachable he is, and want to see him up close to make sure they don't miss out on a 1 in a million shot. Elgersma doesn't help us this year, no matter what. But he might be our only real QB hope for the future currently. They especially love to kick the tires on Canadians. I think giving him a really fat signing bonus and the promise of release for NFL signings in the off season is the best bet for us. Other wise I bet he kicks around for another month easy. -

Thomas had his contract expire, and was brought back late before camp. Lucky also had his contract expire as he ended the year on the PR. Houston left as a free agent, and Castillo did as well. I will say we've seen him bring back TC camps later in the year, and guys from previous camps, etc. I do not believe mos had any thing against adams or bringing him back. I think Darvin got to a point where he had a bounce back year on a bad team making a big big chunk of money, and the only interest in him was vet min type deals. So he moved on from football. I really liked what darvin brought, and as a person he is a great guy. I think he chose a great time and way to walk away. He played a full 18 game season for the first time in his career, he put up good numbers, walked away healthy, and with 2 rings. He isn't a guy who gets talked about alot in the 19 run, but boy he was big for us in those play offs. Right? No one is going to long for the return of Jake. His best football was in 19 and prior. And even in 19, we had stove and nevis as well. He is so far removed from being a guy you'd want it's sad. -

i mean top tier arm talent, and some really impressive intangibles. he also has played the canadian game and needs to adjust to pro speed not nearly so much to cfl O/D. one year on a pr in the nfl is ideal for his development imo. after that you gotta really get into action to improve. The flashes he showed in pre season are really encouraging. lots of guys with arm talent, but for a guy to make the biggest step up in competition and immediately be competitive and comfortable is huge. -

Both true. The NFL for all it's growth in the past 20 years is still extremely prone when it comes to getting in it's own way. Not as bad as baseball but pretty bad.
