02 was calvillos of 4 years in a row over 5k passing yards, with 1 year over 6k and 1 year just under. 02-05 then the resurgence period of 08-12. Iirc wasnt it in that first establishment stretch where he lead the first offense with 4 1k wrs? The als also went to the cup like 6 times 02-08, won the GC in 02 (along with GC MOP), and cfls MOP 2003. I think people under rate That first era with the als. If he hadnt exploded at that point, he almost certainly wouldnt have been around for the 2nd great sting. That stretch of time from 2001-2003 ish is probably the golden era of qbs. Ray no doubt up there too. Dickenson in 03 was back and the DD of old, but never really the same/healthy. After that. The game has also opened up a TON since then. And since ac retired to now. Those HoF caliber qbs from that era might all break 7-8k passing each year with 50+ tds in todays game. Dbs could get away with murder back then. Today they cant even look a WR in the eye.

Bombers vs Redblacks: Bomber Football Is Back Edition
wbbfan replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Same way we listed glenn and davis last year. And when a QB came off the bench for reps, it was glenn. -
Bombers vs Redblacks: Bomber Football Is Back Edition
wbbfan replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Still worry about back ups killing us. But im a lot more at ease then previously. I thought this would be a sleeper game. Now i fully expect us to win and control the game. -
Probably right. Khari might have been in tough in retrospect with the juggernaut AC lead als offenses. After 2001 our WR cores got pretty thin. And we saw some awful OCs.
-
We do rotate DL a lot. And its fantastic to do. I just hope it means more corney and more thomas. And not the end of poop.
-
This is such a huge un talked about factor. When a QB gets hit they are seldom able to brace and try to absorb it. And they take more shots from the back then any other player. I dont like some of the direction rule changes are taking the game. But protecting the qbs is a must. Its come light years from the khari jones era. But still has a lot of work to do.
-
Wonder if jake thomas could play off the edge... Feel like this is a huge chance for corney. Really sucks. Hope this doesnt lead to poop being relegated to bench and inactive list.

just another 18 game regular season in the most violent team sport. (maybe rugby is more violent idk, but i would think not)

Wouldnt that be crazy? Max value for edm, and a guy ott could potentially bank on with the oft hurt/benched harris. -

We could trade them the fever for their first round pick, best defensive starter and a pick swap.... Sinopoli package for franklin? 0: Yeah probably none of the above. -

They gotta be on pace to be over the cap by the most this year. -
Its not the first time shes turned in a horrid card.

Wow GGG just got robbed. Fight is a draw with 1 canelo 1 ggg and 1 draw. A few close rounds early but not that close. I think GGG won by 4 rounds easily.
-
Makes sense. Dont think we fits in the middle well, especially in our system. But would love to have him back in his original position.
-
Yeah, and only kind of with guys like mulumba/gra vs the guys that have been trickling back the last couple weeks to other teams. Was he cut? With wild out I would certianly take him back in that spot.

I watched e1 of south parks new season last night, i dont own one of these devices sadily. Southpark has broken the 4th wall with humor and finally beat the simpsons to a punch line. Not sure if it was on purpose or not, but I wouldnt be surprised either way. https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/south-park-premiere-triggered-everyones-amazon-devices-causing-mayhem/

Hot off the Press: future CFL book titles

cory johnson the great american bathroom book. -
The type of cuts we will probably bring in (cfl rookies) often take a little bit longer to come down. Around the league weve seen a couple guys come back from Nfl try outs who have been up here and had an impact. Those guys seem imo to be less likely to sit on the couch waiting for an nfl team to call. They understand the best chance to get back to the nfl after a TC is to play up here. Once youre more then like 2 years out of college your chances of getting picked up after camp / late camp drop a lot. Especially if you dont have any tape. It seems like our modus operandi is when the nfl camps close, prs expand we bring in a bunch of raw young guys for looks. We dont really seem to air lift guys in to come and play. Its like early auditions for camp next year. If some one comes in and plays like poop or jeffcoat in practice they will probably get a look if the roster presents a chance. But short of that (and that is exceedingly rare) a cfl rookie isnt likely to be air lifted and play past the mid way point. The no contact practices could hurt those guys too. When the PR expands and teams cycle in young talent from down south itll be a lot harder to evaluate them with out practice reps.

Ya weve seen a mild brain drain in coaches in the last 15? or so years. What a college has to offer a coach is really really hard to match.

I agree with jacquie in that an ast hc and dc role would be a great step for him. And yeah he has had defensive players hemorrhaged for cap issues over the last 2 years and his D hasnt taken a step back. On a side note, ive allways been a fan of 3-4 in the cfl. I think the main reason we dont see it as the go to D system is the sharp contrast in DL it uses compared to the 4-3s ran up here. The yard off the ball also makes it harder on hand up edge rushers imo.
-
I think that fit makes sense, and he seems the type of guy hammy would jump on.
-
I wonder if they take a stab at plop in the off season... Would LOVE to have thorpe here.
