with the state of apathy around the current team, i am scared to see what a poor start to next year would bring. Possibly the worst time to be a bomber fan since the the dark ages of the rinebold days.
-
have we cut these new guys yet? I kinda do think most of these guys will be brought back for TC. hope we arent going crazy with signing bonuses though.
TC officially starts next game, hope to see some players off the PR that have not played get a chance to show their stuff. Also let Davis play at least one Q.
Hope its true.

Hadnt really looked at what he was since the draft. Remembered him being big, and a back field play maker. First minute of this video he makes plays lining up as an end in 2/3pt stance, traditional DT, and from the nose in a 3-4 alignment. And a couple tackles where he just explodes into people. I can see why the guy has gotten such a long hard look in the nfl. That burst and versatility alone could keep him in the nfl for life. But man its nice to dream.
Good gawd, what a load!
no kidding. Cant question his talent thats for sure.

really gotta get cam marshall involved in the game. Maybe even in more then a up the gut dive play.

If I recall, it is actually a legal issue in the States. US employment laws wouldn't allow them to mandate a number of jobs going to non Americans.
I believe it falls under the "Dey tuk er jerbs!" laws.

I hope they move Turner back to being lead sports columnist and not Wicek.
Or maybe now that Ed T has a couple years making NHL contacts to go with his football cred they will feel he's ready to take the big byline. I'd love to see that. He has that rare ability to criticize the home team without enraging the fan base. But then again I guess enraging the fan base is at least a little bit a part of the job.
good call on tait.

Someone should tell that moron Pedersen that he's the Ravens OC. It's just more bs from Pedersen
But its the RIDERS. thats like the YANKEES of the football world. Why WOULDNT he want to be there instead of some not head coach else where?

It's like people think the Bombers are actively trying to lose...
Tanking for that high draft pic tho...

Dominique Davis to Cone ... hopefully he's not a pylon.
Doesn't look like he's that fast, lucky the endzone arrived when it did or some of those D backs may have tracked him down.
Remember hes running away from NFL dbs. Those guys are generally among the fastest on the team.
hes reputed to have great football smarts, great athletic ability, and has awesome size. All that is not a surprise from an un drafted mediocre production college guy who stuck in the nfl with as many looks for as long as he did. Raw tools, check. Now lets see him in some game action and see if he can translate it. Allways fun to have guys with the big potential around. Never hurts to look.

Good teams dont get beaten by the breaks of the game. If you arent good enough to out play luck, or the refs forget about out playing the other team. This team has the potential to be a play off team, But they dont have any of the execution or discipline to do so. Or the Oline. Some times a team is better or worse then their record. But with our play calling, commitment to brohm, Oline play, execution and discipline, we are our record. With out willy, we could easily be at 1 win.

So you blame not coming back to the ball and a general lack of blocking by receivers on MB? They are a serviceable lot and you can win with them but standing pat and not looking to improve is a flat out mistake. There is room for improvement beyond the play calling.
I dont think coming back to the ball is an issue when you dont throw deep balls several games in a row. Even intermediate routes where out the window. While i think our talent is good at wr, if there are upgrades available id take em. I dont think you limit your self to positions of need when scouting americans, take the best of whats familiar.
I think you're wrong. Moore is a good receiver, Denmark can be but he's pretty invisible these days, Adams has been putting way way too many passes on the turf so what good is he? Veltung is a rookie who shows some promise but isn't at the level we need yet, the Canadians are OK but not really threats, more of the solid but unspectacular that you can't really lean on types. We need Moore to stay healthy and add at least one more big time consistent threat.
Maybe this guy?
Bombers add receiver Kevin Cone. >> http://ow.ly/Swze9
Gotta like his tangibles. Listed as 6'3 216 in the nfl. lots of rave reviews about how football smart he is, how fast and athletic he is and that he has sure hands. And for a guy with not great college production who went un drafted to stick in the nfl with as many teams as he did its gotta be an amazing skill set. Hope he can get in some games and show what hes got. Can never have enough explosive big targets around.

Can Ian play OL or receiver?
Cant ignore upgrades at other positions because of a hole in another area. Cut of our nose to spite our face. If there was a turn key OL that would make a strong impact for us and was available we'd a made that deal all ready. I also dont think wr is a problem at all. we have tons of talent, but the worst run pro offense ive ever seen in any league. (including AFL2 etc)
I wonder if this will push us further to a 3-4. We are really stacked at LB now. If it does, id love to see a traditional 3-4 NT come in.
-
Ill preface this by saying i love henoc as a player and he would imop be our best Lber, and a leader on D. That said our D is a strength and LB is probably the best strength there in. Henoc would make us a better team, no question. But henoc would be short term. He isnt going to sign a multi year deal. And I wouldnt want to get rid of a slightly lesser player that would be here long term, for half a year of him.
As much as henoc would make our D better, he wouldnt make the difference between us being a play off team and not. And he would cost a ton of money for the portion of a year he would play. ]
Ill really wont be disapointed at him going to another team. I hope he plays in the east, and is close to home if he does come back to the cfl. I really hope he goes back to an nfl team and makes a nice career for him self down there. I think the only thing that would really disappoint me now is if he A) signs with sask, or
signs a long term deal in the cfl. After all that, id really like to see the CFL adapt a similar rule to MLB. If a team develops a players, say drafted them or an imp with 2 years on the team and no other cfl teams before that. When another team signs them either at the end of there first contract or coming back from nfl time, id like to see some form of compensation. Some amount of cash/neg list option, or even a draft pick. Some thing for a teams time spent developing a player. Nothing earth shaking, or that would seriously hold up the free agent process. But some thing would be good.

Great move. I really dont see any needed moves on the D side of the ball this off season. Henoc or not, coaching staff or players. I think we have a great young core with strong depth. Some depth/prospect pass rushing dline would be good but over all we have a very good D.
-
Can't wait for us to sign Willie Beamen.
nah well pass on him but i hear we might give sharkie a million dollar deal cus Lbers fix all.
-
If the season is over why not fire him now and see if Howell and/or Buck are worth keeping at seasons end.
Im not sure how much they could fix this blander then vanilla offense. But they sure couldnt do worse with play calling. I mean this offense makes the air taste exotic. its soo bad if i see a designed off tackle run my jaw might hit the floor like every other play under joe paopao.
-
A couple reasons. 1) we have been quick to re tool coaching and had been slow to re build management. We havent given a qb and OC a good period of time to develop a winning offence. And weve constantly been taking other teams end cuts or straight up no names for oc. Similar can be said of HC. I think MoS is a good development guy who will be a good hc in the cfl. Im not sure he will get the time to do it here though. But between him and dave ritchie there is an awful lot of crap at HC.
There are only soo many top notch cfl team runners out there. And we havent had one in a long long time. Tbh id keep walters and MoS hoping they develop into that for another year or two easily. Unless, we had a plug and play top cfl mind come available to us.
I havent looked at numbers but id bet my dog we have had more OCs from 2000-2015 then any other cfl team. Probably more starting qbs too.
-
Still waiting MB. Still waitin. When he gets canned its probably going to be a top 3 moment for the season for me.
-
Buck is one of my all time least favorite bomber qbs. But these commercials are pretty funny, and that hit still makes me cringe.
-
No problem with the guy being honest about his aspirations. If he draws NFL attention then that means we got some mighty fine QB play* out of him, so it's all good.
*Pat Barnes notwithstanding, I guess
Oh god purolator pat barnes. Soo many people where biting nails while he did nfl TCs. Man what a bust that guy was.

Too hell with these dual threat guys.....give me the slew footed, weak arm dropback guys.......

we dont even know if MoS will be back next year. So why wouldnt they start poking around? But If mos is back, he doesnt seem the type to do this sort of thing in the season. Doesnt hurt to have some one do it for him. If he isnt making the decisions him self. In years past i can remember teams like edm and mtl doing coaching changes like this right after the season in which theyve clearly been talking to people mid season. I remember MTL changing coaching staff and announcing it mid grey cup week once.
