wbbfan

yes thats why I think he is a prime candidate to take over as the GM in bc with the new owners. I can see how my wording of that could be a bit un clear though.

mmm Im guessing its a starting NI. Maybe neuf or jake, or demski. In the end I dont see any way any active bomber would not get the shot and miss a pivotal game.

Am I crazy or was harris wearing a mask on the sideline when he had banged up his knee?

I wonder if we put him in jones spot and slide jones inside, or if we disrupt the amazing rookie side.

https://3downnation.com/2021/10/20/roses-are-blue-winnipeg-agrees-to-terms-with-all-star-db-winston-rose/ oh hell yes! This secondary is gonna be scary, especially if taylor gets healthy.

It looked like from his twitter that he is vaxxed. Also I dont see any chance the bombers would trade for him and bring him up if he wasnt vaxxed and wouldnt be play off / gc eligible. This is possible, fifo you would think would have a PR guy sent packing. Unless, its a guy on the 6 game who wont be back this year, like crapinga or maston. Both of whom I believe are recovering at home. Or, it could be Carlton agudosi. Last week (iirc) he was moved from the PR, to the suspended list. We never heard why that happened. Could be he informed the team he didnt intend to get vaccinated and he was put on the suspended list. Maybe they wanted to activate him for the game too, but he wasnt vaxxed and the bombers werent willing to do the full hassle of the isolated room bringing him food etc.

So the XFL has been having some meetings with no news breaking which has had me thinking. They just parted ways with their former president, who was supposed to stay on. I think itll be interesting to see when news does break from them. When the talks broke off with the cfl, the XFL announced they would try to come back in 2022, with some people currently speculating 2023 is more realistic. The USFL scooped the XFLs fox tv spot, but fox is investing 150m to the usfl over the first 3 years. I suspect the XFL will need to partner with either the USFL or the CFL to get any traction. Building roster, front offices, coaching staffs and support crews is very intensive and some positions like experienced scouts and pro head coaches are kind of limited. If they arent partnering with the CFL, I could see them making an announcement around and before the grey cup game. Especially if their announcement is a partnership with the USFL. If they make an announcement and start making official moves after the grey cup, I think its likely that they return to the table and establish some sort of CBA and partnership. Even if its just access to players coaches etc or even shared advertisement fluff stuff. With out a president, or much of any football minds involved they are pretty destabilized for a spring league aiming for a 2022 launch. Making 1 big announcement with a new president, some football types and maybe another media type would be a big step towards starting again. (before probably folding yet again after 1 year)

DONT YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME RICKY BOBBY!

100%, manitoba has a bit of every thing to offer. And while Mos had a great career in TO, he's pretty entrenched in winnipeg. It took a long long time to fully build the culture top to bottom, I dont see him leaving that easily. I dont think walters is a threat to leave either. He, wade, and mos have a synergy and shared vision that is crazy to try and replace or replicate. Similarly this role is exactly what the Mac attack wants. He gets to spend his time with his family down south, and has a lot of input on scouting and his hours. Ted goveia, is going to be a GM and or president of another team though imo. As will rigmaiden at some point, maybe with the lions as soon as next year with the new owners in place. And I could see goveia bringing a coach or two like younger and costello with him in new capacities. I could see edmonton wanting to get away from this toxic crappy culture they have and bringing in a guy like goveia in the off season to run the elk.

This is an interesting quesiton. Im hoping its some one who is on the PR and who wont be traveling or playing in the play offs either way.

JWJ to the xfl 3.0 in the off season.

agree 100%. I think he could be very effective in a lot of short route wr/sb play to off set his carries too. Mesh concept, outs, screens, hitches etc. I wish we'd involve him in the passing game more this year and split his carries.

I wouldnt be surprised if we lose an ol, likely bryant or neufeld to retirement. Neuf isnt as old but he's had a lot of injuries over 10 seasons. Nick taylor will be 34 next year. I too hope we move on past darvin adams. He isnt a no2, or even a no3 wr any more. WIth injuries, I could see harris wanting to try next year but likely we've seen the last of harris as an every down every game back. I think the NFL may come calling for alford and nichols. They may well come for lawler too. If not lawler and even bailey could be prime FA targets in the cfl. Collaros, and all our OL bodies will be prime targets in free agency, for those who dont re sign. We've gotta keep Eli and Desjerlais. Jeffcoat and Wilie would be hot commodities in the FA market too, they may have aged out of the NFL window now and might want long term high paying deals. But I could also see them wanting to stay here together. They are real close, and are great together. The mafia will have a tough off season. Not just in re signing guys who took cuts this year, but in possibly replacing a handful of starters who are nfl / retirement bound.

Haha oh man that's gonna suck for him. This defense about to end that man's whole career.

Its kind of just the nature of the CFL now, and in the post covid year. A lot of players re worked deals to take less money and will be FAs this off season. I expect this to be the biggest projected free agency ever. That said, I think especially our core lines will stay together for the most part. Maybe jeffcoat gets an nfl deal, maybe an ol retires, but I dont expect wholesale change. I think they will do what it takes to keep bryant and hardrick of one doesnt retire, and to keep desjarlais. Id be stunned if eli isnt starting here next year. We've gotten our biggest want from a roster stand point. But I think that if taylor is going to miss any significant amount of time a much bigger run at bringing winston rose back would happen too.

If we keep starting neuf at T, collaros wont be healthy when we need him.

Soo happy with this move didn't know bc still had his cfl. Rights. But he's the kicker to get imo. Castillo is a better punter than legs too imo. And drastically better at ko.

True. But all in all Id much rather we sign lirim (who just worked out for washington) sergio castillo (who had 2 work outs at the end of july but no deal) or Maher (who last got worked out at the end of sept but also got no contract.) And save the draft pick.

Soo true. But the whole league is. We've lost a young starting NI each of the last like 3 years. Right? Again I bet our top 7 guys are expensive compared to other teams, but we are crazy deep at ol. Id take hardrick over the rest of that list. Desjarlais too.

Lawler played at boundary WR while adams was out, and the two flip spots frequently in each game. Thats your high production wide out spot and suits lawler really well. Bailey has also been solid in his looks at that spot, but lawler is really the guy to fit that spot best.

Desperate bad teams will over pay for mediocre OLs, and under achieve with the OL talent they have. Funny that we only have 1 in the top 10, I bet our top 7 combined make as much as most any team in the league. Id love to see a 10 imps and 10 ni in this category. I feel like this is where a lot of NI are making their money. And I think this article is a great addition to 3dn, the wr one was good too. Thanks for sharing it.

I mean he's probably still injured or some thing. There is probably a good reason why his hands look like lucky whiteheads after he got hurt. Ok ok ill stop, dont need another self loathing bomber fan we have that quota covered. Id love nothing more than to see him return to his peak form, and have a giant wbbfan and the rest of the haters can shove it game / finish to the year. But if not I feel like this could be his last season. Hes our least reliable and valuable starting wr right now. 3 ok games, 3 invisible games, 2 horrible games. Bailey struggled early, but really turned it around. So I hope he manages the same. He used to be such a dangerous deep threat, when we could barely throw a deep ball. Otherwise, I think we are better off with mcknight in, and woli moved to slot.

I get what youre saying, but we've actually used the empty backfield a lot this year too. Far more than id like, especially with hardrick out. But yeah, its going to be a big adjustment once harris retires.

Some no1 wrs? Nah. Bailey is just coming into his own. Lawler and collaros struggled on a couple hook ups and he certainly needs to be out there post suspension. Demski should be used more and more consistently, even more so with woli. Darvin adams should sit, but wont be sat. But with agudosi suspended we are kind of limited in options and we dont really need more slow wrs like rosie. I wouldnt worry about it, he wont catch the shade either. 😉

He's been running up the middle since his first year here, I can count on 1 hand how many out side zone runs he's had in all his years here. You dont bet a DB to the edge from a run up the middle of the field even if you are tyreek hill. Ive seen him especially on screen passes beat Sams and safties and get tackles by out side HBs and corners. But he still out runs dbs. Harris would out run most of our WR core too.
