Muamba has always been a selfish "Me First" kinda player. He found a home in Montreal with a great Head Coach in Khari. How much more $$$ is he going to make going somewhere else? But that is how his career has gone. Always been motivated by money & greener pastures down the road. Doesn't want to stick around to do the heavy lifting by helping the Als win a Grey Cup.
Toronto seems to be spending crazy this year maybe them?

Oliveira got hurt basically minutes into his first game..in a freak injury at that...hardly was a case of not being able to stay healthy, and had no injury issues in College
Augustine was cut by Edmonton, and then signed by the Riders...just puked in my mouth there sorry....and was cut prior to camp...dumb move by them but a score for us
In spot play over 2 years has average 6.5 yards a carry so for a Canadian back up yeah we are set just fine..Harris goes down in a game we won't be yanking an American receiver to play a DI rb who would be a waste of roster space as 98% of plays in the game he would be firmly planted on the bench
Can bet just about any thing that itll be demski getting the 2nd most touches out of the back field this year. 6.5 ypc... on 2 games worth of carries 😆 pumping him as more then a solid back up is rider fan base stuff. Ankle injuries arent any thing to under rate in a rb.

Its true, big of him to admit it. We are calgary 2.0 right now. Its the meta on how you build a continual contender in the cfl. Deep national talent, next man up mentality.

Right? Like Tyrell Sutton?? We have an NI RB.... you can't have an IMP back-up.....cripes. And you've already got Johnny August and Brady O waiting in the wings....
you mean like we did with flanders? 😆 Augustine was cut by half the league and brady didnt stay healthy as a back up. We arent set by any means, but rb is an easy position to recruit talent at. It doesnt make sense to dumpster dive FA for rbs unless your scouting sucks.

exume signed with the als today

That sucks for us, but It makes sense. Hes a great young talent and im sure he will do really well in montreal.

The Bombers are really high on Sean McGuire. That’s why they didn’t go out and sign a backup quarterback in free agency.
His talent is legit. I would still love to see a vet qb in camp to push him though. Positional competition brings the best out of every one. But its not a surprise. I mean the fa market doesnt really have a guy you want as a vet back up to teach your prospect.
1 hour ago, M.O.A.B. said:Im ok with Muamba and/or Loffler.
Muamba can rotate at WIL and MAC. He is very good on ST too. The $ must be reasonable though.
Loffler should come in cheap but the question is, is he healthy enough to play after his recent injury.ick
-
deon lacey, mbt and judge are the ones left im really interested to see where they land. I think lacey would be great here though I doubt we spend money at wil. Exume and Kongbo I really hope we manage to bring back.
-
mitchell is probably the best bang for the buck at WR in free agency and one of the best when healthy. Awesome pick up, hope he can stay healthy.

hate this move. Hope the staff find decent landing spots. Would love to see walby etc have a podcast to balance out the inane stuff from pederson.

lol @ trading one of our NI OL for magic beans to a division rival.....
vs losing one for nothing again right. never mind actually reading the post. 😆
I like the lorenzo jerome get for the riders too. Wonder where cam judge ends up. Feels like they are all in on moving on with out him.

Ouch. Feel like we're going to regret this.
Just like when we lost Loffler and Santos-Knox.
Didnt miss loffler as much as JSK but ya.
Just now, Stickem said:Do you know of many that can go to University and also play the game they luv right in their home town...I would hazard a guess not too many
You mean regina? his home town team? You can also pursue an education any place to like after making a life times income in the NFL. But you must be right I mean he did bypass the NFL to come here in the first place right? Oh wait...

Thought he was done with football
didnt he retire to rap? some one was hinting i think at 3dn that he might come out of retirement. May have been just speculation idk. Hes young with low wear and tear on his body. And a tremendous skill set, but I dont trust his drive to play at all. Wouldnt touch him with a 10' clown pole.
Just now, Stickem said:Nothing replaces his studies at university....He's happy here....end of
you know how many pro football players still study while playing and do so from a great distance?

Gray has been down south....I doubt he wants to make another trip , especially as he is concentrating on his education at U.....Proven depth at O in this league is gold....keep it
Why is he allergic to money? He took time trying to get another roster spot after his 2nd team down south. And his interview when he signed here it seemed pretty clear he wants to get back down south.

Draft pics (crap shoot) for a proven commodity......NOT a good deal....Besides we have solid ranking in the draft to pic one on our own
Eli gray and desjarlais arent proven commodities.
Just now, rebusrankin said:Keep our OL as depth is important and why help a rival?
Weve been trying to hide a 7th ol for years and it just only works for soo long. You cant expect one of those guys to hide on the IR forever when theyd have a chance to start else where. Especially with some one like gray who has NFL aspirations and talent. If we did (id like to keep all the young OL but its just a matter of time before we lose one or more if they dont start) we would gain future value, plus cap room now to pick up some one who would make an immediate impact this year.
Like I said if I was huff I'd go around the league trying for pieces like that. And we are the capital of NI ol depth in the league.

Just now, Noeller said:
Stamps apparently really wanted Evan Johnson for their OL, which has lost a couple important pieces. Now scrambling to find another potential starter...
If I was him id try and swing a deal for one of our young ol. Gray, couture, eli, and desjarlais. We are extremely deep at NI ol, and a guy like gray isnt cheap. With the 3 vets, and one back up that leaves 1 odd man out. Bombers wont wanna lose one of these guys for nothing, and a draft pick could be used to store value off the salary cap by drafting an NFL camp/signee.

New owners putting their own money into it. I have no issues with the Als spending.
the league is far better off both not having to still pay for the als, and having the als be competitive.
Walters always says we dont have a lot of money available. But he was very close on getting burnham. And im sure it wasnt going to be burnham at the expense of the guys we re signed since him.
I expect walters to make a few crafty good moves again this FA period as he always does.

Was this really necessary? Who tf goes into a CFL game with only one QB?
TBH, 2 qbs isnt enough. The minimum should be 3. I dont really wanna see darvin adams or other position players at QB. And with only 2 on active roster its only a matter of time.

Can the CFL even start with no fans in the stands?
One year of the TSN deal alone split evenly between the teams pays for more then 95% of the salary cap.

So I thought this was just a trend for the last 2 years, but this is telling.
Charleston Hughes sacks the last 7 seasons:
2019 - 16 total in 17 games (10 in first 7 games, 5 in next 5, 1 in final 5), 1 sack in 1 playoff game
2018 - 15 total in 17 games(13 in first 10 games, 2 in final 7 games), 0 sacks in 1 playoff game
2017 - 11 total in 14 games played (6 in first 5 games, 5 in final 9), 1 sack in 2 playoff games
2016 - 16 total in 18 games (7 in first 8, 3 in next 6, 6 in final 4) , 0 sacks in 2 playoff games
2015 - 10 sacks total in 15 games (9 in first 9, 1 in final 6)
2014 - 8 total in 11 games (6 in first 6, 2 in last 5), 0 sacks in 1 playoff game
2013 - 18 sacks total in 16 games (13 in first 10, 5 in last 6), 0 sacks in 1 playoff game
Toronto may be wise to cut him before Labour Day when veterans’ salaries are then guaranteed for the remainder of the year.
He reminds me a lot of elfrid payton (who i loved) but not in a good way. In more of a joe "first half" flemming way. The chris brazzell consistently inconsistent.

There were no issues with Whiteheads hands at all..I think he had maybe one bad drop...it happens...he was woefully mis-used, and then when he was used it was blatantly obvious to teams as Lapo never deviated from things or expanded his role and he got smothered...and subsequently beat to a pulp, as he was nicked games before he was replaced by Bailey and it was very obvious...If you look back, after about game 3 teams would totally converge on him and lapo basically had him sitting down and then having to beat 3-4 guys who were right on him..
he got a little over 500 yards in 15 games with next to know volume..basically under 3.5 receptions a game...give him some volume..some crossers over the middle or through the seam in flight...and look out
If any thing he can use route work, which should be expected given his skill set and athleticism. The guy was released from the nfl and passed over on some real BS. He is still hands down an NFL caliber player. (not a starting wr currently but on the active roster)
2 hours ago, Jpan85 said:He is two years younger than Sewell. I think this coaching staff would do wonders for him. He was so good in Calgary.
Itd be a bit of a different style for our front, but a prolific inside rusher with stove/jake on the nose and the heat seeking missles on the end Ols would have nightmares.
Exume, whitehead, petermann, miles, rush, and rempel are all guys I really hope are back.
Honestly the last thing I want to see in FA is lucky whitehead playing against us. He just might put banks to shame if he started for an aggressive passing team.
Also nichols is a good pick up. Hes a tremendous athlete with a lot of versatility. The biggest knock on him coming out of college was size and polish. Hes had a good amount of nfl rep time now and is a perfect candidate for younger to shape into a gem.

I may have missed this but,
I'm wondering if anyone has an idea how Buck is gonna run our Offense?
Im sure Lapo will have influenced his schemes but this is another storyline im really looking foward to seeing.
I dont see him being a scheme before players strenghts guy.
I suspect we will see less gimmick plays, a slightly more balanced attack, and progressive passing offense. Instead of constantly just targeting what the defensive gives under coverage and then having wrs try to turn it up field for first downs, I think we will see that used to set up deeper shots, so we push the defenders back and open up the mid section beyond the classic hook/curl/flat zone. More slants/skinny post/ F post multi post plays creating rubs etc.
I could see some evolution in the type of running plays, as well as more demski touches too. Less hard nosed between the tackle running and maybe more off tackle stuff. When we've run counter trap stuff its been really effective.

Do you think the Bombers sign Whitehead? Receivers rarely make an impact until their second year. I fear he's going to be real good for another team
I bet he will be back.
7 hours ago, Brandon said:I don't think his 2nd year will make a big difference, I think the book on him is already known... super fast and dangerous once the ball is in his hands... it's just a matter of him making the catch is the question mark.
Same could be said of brandon banks and a bunch of burners. But also plenty of big wrs like bowman. Bowman never had a good or even average set of hands. Its easier to cover some one like Nik lewis and deny the ball then it is against a burner. And its still pretty easy to create a lot of easy touches in an offense for a wr.
Banks came into the league at about the same age as whitehead, and he spent 4 years as a fringe player at wr. 3 out of those 4 years he was much further behind what whitehead did last year. And considering how quickly he was relegated to running deep every time he was on the field in an offense that doesnt chuck it deep often he did well.
Whitehead is extremely dangerous with the ball in his hands, one of the most dangerous players in the league. He may or may not take the next step and improve. If he does, he will be an all star and back in the nfl in a year or two. If he doesnt, at worst he's still the most dangerous wr threat weve had in a long long looooong time.

That would be a very interesting move. He was a poor fit with the riders but Im not sure hes a better fit here.

None, our only weak spot over the last 2 seasons has been QB and maybe at Safety.
Our receivers haven't had flashy numbers but I think that's more so a result of the ball not coming to them rather then them not having talent. Lawler/Bailey were catching balls way more then whiffing on them.
100%. Maybe Wil at times as well. Actually, if we managed to get JSK back at a reasonable rate thatd be great. Id much prefer to have him back then the guys like tobi antigha who've kicked around for a while. Jsk was pretty good on teams too, DIing one and carrying both imp Wils wouldnt be the worst thing.

I love the arrogance first day free agency champions. That roster is still a dumpster fire.
