He’s 36 ffs. If there’s one guy that prob should be replaced it’s bighill. Bryant prob shortly also. It’s not crapping on a guy because his best days are behind him. It’s fact. Coaches are here to make the tough decisions when the players refuse to. Bighill shouldn’t have played the cup game last year and if this year is starting like this it’s time to let him go. Loyalty doesn’t win championships. Playing guys who are hurt don’t win championships. This isn’t kids under 10 soccer where everyone gets a turn. It’s the pros. Bighill is a liability at his age now. 

He couldn’t make the argos pr the last two years. They’ve been stacked at lber rotating guys who are hands down better.  
good is the enemy of great. League isn’t lacking for mlbers either. 

Its been time going on two years now. Thats the most frustrating thing.

Begin the thawing of Barrin Simpson!

I'm not certain Biggie was a top 10 LB last year in a 9 team league. 

Thats being very polite. He wasnt in the same solar system as MOP calibre.

Its a good thing our offense is going to be bonkers. With Jeffcoat gone/new DE, Bighill hurt/clearly in decline, BA's play suspect/decline, Cole moving positions, new guy at DB, i can foresee alot of 37-34 games this season. The days of our soul crushing D are long gone me thinks.

Clearly i was being facetious, my point being Bighill was borderline awful at times last year, whiffing on tackles all over the field and repeatedly being two steps behind plays. He was impactful in the wrong kind of way last season.

We had an issue with Jeffcoat, he was a good guy all indications were he was a great teammate and when healthy a force, but.......he was in and out enough that we didn't really develop a replacement "rip the bandaid off" as someone above mentioned and overall, it hurst us. We are seeing the same with Biggie. I get he was hurst most of last year, but he was not good enough. Biggie is a perennial all-star, one of the best MLB to play and we got many great years out of him, unfortunately if we keep him in and out we will do the same thing we did with Jeffcoat. 
IMO at this point Biggie should be insurance only, park him on the 6 game and have a true open competition for MLB. If the guy we roll with falters Gauthier is a very serviceable stop gap, but I don't want him to be the main day one starter, and I really like the guy......

It hasn't been much different the past two seasons.  When the O is off & the D needs to pick up the slack and make some stops...they usually don't. As far as I'm concerned, the only good games from the D happened when the Jeffs were able to crank it up to another level. The West final was one of those games. 

Agreed but you know its going to happen. Something about Gauthier being a good soldier, that tackle in the playoffs in 2019, and all the confidence in the world in him, blah, blah, blah.

I feel like we've seen it over and over when Bighill's not on the field. No reason for me to expect otherwise. 

Yup, i do not understand the hype that movie got/gets. I watched it and was truly underwhelmed+bored. It just lacked.......something. I also found it very hard to follow and understand at times. Feel sorry for the scores of girls that had to sit/sleep through that movie with the whole Barbenheimer thing.

It is legit shocking that we haven't built a succession plan for him.

Im very concerned about Bighill going into the season. He looked absolutely done at times last season with zero speed and missed tackles all over the field. And with Clements gone and Cole shifting to a different position the Bombers have shockingly shown zero interest in bringing in anyone else with CFL experience to even spell him during the season, let alone grooming someone to be his replacement(which will need to happen in the very very near future). This could be a major issue this season.

It's weird to say that the Bombers have missed out on players because of ratio concerns because it's balanced out by playing an import somewhere else. So it's not even that you are better than the incumbent Canadian you are trying to displace, you have to better than the Canadian than another import is better than the typical Canadian at their position. 
You can argue that the Bombers have not really taken advantage of some of the new rules surrounding imports, but the players filling those spots likely aren't going to be higher level imports. 

I am on my 5th attempt to watch Oppenheimer. I feel like I am missing something. I can watch and enjoy almost any movie in any genre but I am not feeling this one at all. I feel like it might be editing?

No, no, the guy who was shot on the set of The Crow.

Never heard of 'em.
