  1. The instant gratification generation. Nothing can be developing, its either the greatest thing ever or crap.
  2. Imop if we did a mid season firing of MOS (which i think is very very unlikely.) plop would become HC pierce would probably become asst OC and take over WRs
  3. No kidding. A lot of fans over waggoner. Its very very rare for a guy to step in and be dominant the year hes drafted. Especially at a ratio breaking position, even more so coming from the US. Henoc didnt light the world on fire in his first season. Waggoner has shown some really nice flashes and i cant wait to see what he brings in his 2nd year.
  4. Doug browns departure from the nfl didnt have to do with years. He posted a list of players on his team with criminal convictions in the locker room and was cut just shy of his pension. If he hadnt of done that he may never have ended up in the cfl. Mike is right i brain farted and it was 4th round not 2nd. And while rushing from a stand up position is a good bit different from lining up over a tackle its not exactly the hardest position switch in football. I wouldnt expect a westerman level of adjustment though.
  5. Yeah thats true. I think once you get out of the top couple picks gambles on ratio breakers can really be worth it. In the case of mulumba, i think taking that kind of risk wasnt a great idea. Hes a lber, but at his size he could easily be a DE in the cfl. Bilukidi i think has a better chance of ending up down here. And taking that risk in iirc the 2nd round is a good gamble.
  6. Idk why your concerned with who lapo hired, that was ages ago. Im more concerned with the offense he ran.
  7. Atleast 3 that i recall. 2 back to back. Hurt in pre season or late tc the first time. Brought back the 2nd disappeared in pre season. Then i wanna say brought in again after a year or two gap. Two interesting guys. Dieke is soo big i wonder if hes coming in to push at DT. I cant see him being a DE up here unless its in a 3-4. And from what i recall we dont have to be down to the roster limit of 75 till TC. we can carry extra bodies in mini camp.
  8. we gambled on him knowing like every one else that he was going to get a good look in the nfl. We may have lost on the gamble. You cant fault the rules for taking a high risk pick and losing.
  9. Yeah. And at this point, he has to adapt to what he has. If the bombers dont make the play offs this year at the very least the entire coaching staff will be looking for work else where this year. Maybe front office too.
  10. We could maybe have 2 drafts. Your drafted imports go on your neglist and you can hold a players rights for say 2-3 years. Have a 10-12 round imp draft and say 20-24 neg list spots. I dont think having imp's on the draft list with nucks works well though. and it doesnt fix the problem with guys going to the nfl. I do think letting teams draft guys earlier and let them return to the cis while retaining their rights is a good thing though.
  11. Id say we have a good chance of one day seeing mulumba(26) or bilukidi(27). Age is quickly counting down to the point the nfl wont continue to try to develop them, and neither and become much of a special teams player. Mulumba showed some flashes early, and is younger so id say bilukidi is the guy to bet on. That kind of size and athletic ability could have him bouncing around nfl teams a bit longer though. The job we did drafting since the cfl draft has become some thing of value is kinda sad.
  12. cloman and peterson should put on a wr camp. How to not catch a ball. I hear tony ortiz is going to dust off his cleets and come to camp. Once again be a TC all star and disappear come pre season.
  13. https://twitter.com/BlueBomberTalk/status/715903258657558529 Is this an April Fools joke? Imagine so. That said a canadian who can run isnt bad for TCF. If they wanted to hit a nerve should have announced the return of tyson pencer. xD
  14. Maybe its a new diet thing. celery cup. Would love to resign denmark for less and have him as the 3rd wr but i doubt that happens. Id say wr becomes a much more interesting spot in camp. DT less so.
  15. Thats like saying being the top pitcher on a pitching staff makes you the ace/no1
  16. That doesnt make him a no1 wr, the 2nd half really shows the point. I really hope we werent paying him near 180k that would have been beyond dumb.
  17. Denmark certainly wasnt a legit cfl no1. He broke 1k yards once and has had 4 or less tds every year after his rookie year. talent wise i certainly would have loved to keep him as our no3 but i guess the money wasnt there.
  18. Damn that salary cup allways getting in the way. It doesnt allways have to go up, you have to atleast maintain a similar level of play. Cant drop off as bad as turners did.
  19. I imagine so. Though im sure cutting the first few pay days they are due doesnt hurt either. I kind of thought turner might be able to bounce back this year. Atleast we arent keeping guys longer then we should. Good luck to em im sure both will be in camp else where this year. inb4 riders.
  20. No1 pick in the cfl draft is a real hand gernade. The BPA might come and play in a year or 3 or never. Id be in favor of trading up In a deal that moves a depth guy/ neglister or similar range picks. I wouldnt wanna go 2 for 1 with our 1st. 2nd and a lower pick for moving up a handful of spots if an OL drops i would do though.
  21. I dont like our chances short of trading up, but if one of those OL drop from the top 6 or so to us that'd be a minor lotto winning. Personally, short of a crazy high level talent that isnt nfl bound id have a hard time passing on a top 10 prospect thats an OL from laval.
  22. Some real good rookies in this crop. Hope they bring it at camp. Like both of these guys.
  23. my 2c having sat all over the stadium not being a season ticket holder any more, isnt a seat in the house to worry about being stuck in. Maybe too close to the rum hut if you dont like drunk people lol. Ive never hesitated on seats due to location and i dont think ill ever regret it.
  24. Im not sure how many DIs we get. I think +1 per extra NI but im not sure. At this point im hoping goossen is starter ready but im kind a worried about him and his progression. Neufeld is healthy about as often as matt sherridan is slim too. As for WRs, this is easily the best they've been in ages going into camp. Really excited to see some of the young guys step up too. I think thats gonna be the best battle in camp.
  25. i never get cuts before TC cut down day. But We have seen some guys look all world in mini camp and never even seem to show up to main camp. Its early but WR looks like the position battle to watch this year.
