Twin brother.

Again, even if they are brothers that is a stupid & unprofessional tweet. So, using his logic the Bombers were a stupid organization And even more stupid to give Myles an opportunity.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I think what doesn't get enough air time in Winnipeg is how bad you were before Lapolice. Lapo is smart and set something up that Nichols could run. Conservative, low risk and consistent game plan. 

Yeah, LaPo's a better coach than he was a few years ago, I believe. He has a good game plan & doesn't expect Nichols to do things he can't do.

Thats a totally backhanded compliment...yea i get what your saying that Nichols isn't an elite QB but your wrong. Unfortunately some if us are going to find out around here that Matt Nichols is what he has shown the last 2 years ...one of the better QBs in the league. And you just dont replace a guy like this easily...

Too many fans under appreciate what Nichols did or forget how bad we were before he got here at the qb position. Maybe when he gets back people will stop saying he isn't elite as I think he is. I think he's up there with Mike Reilly & Bo Levi Mitchell.

And we could send you guys one too

Nothing like using other teams for scouting then claiming how great you are. LOL.

He's Myles White's brother.

No one said that pro football was fair. Lack of professionalism.

Why?  He doesn't have a job.  They wouldn't be paying 2012 Chad Owens.

He'd still want a lot of money. He'd want top dollar. Personally, I think his career is finished.

Willy has been given so many golden opportunities to re-establish himself.....but he just seems to have nothing left, just not the same guy that the Bombers acquired in 2014.

Was he ever really that good? He looked that way because of the atrocious qbs that played that position back then. 

Just now, JuranBoldenRules said:

Bombers should bring in Owens to return kicks, at least he can catch punts and play receiver if we need him.  Huge upgrade on Lankford.

There goes your salary cap, though. 

Now we have a two bit Argo DB throwing garbage at our team. Must be Myles White brother. I'm now expecting Henoc Muamba to tweet Wally the worst CFL head coach ever.

Skeptical this league will work. To some the word Canadian in it no matter what sport means it's cheap & bush league as we know. So, they'll never support it. The CSL played some pretty good soccer back in the 80's & the league did not last. However, population & demographics have changed in 30 years. So, we'll see. 

It may take awhile but all the stuff Trump has stirred up will come back against him. Bigly. I would say it's Trump who was meek & then became emboldened the minute he left & picked up his phone.

Not a bad group. But as noted, if Collaros does not work miracles behind that OLine, they will be in trouble.

 

Are they all Americans? I think Hardy would have fit in as a starter had he not been hurt.

1 hour ago, TheSource said:

Yes, this is a valid point too.

And this year Bombers brought in more of their own finds which is good, but not sure about bringing in a boat load of ex-Lions.

Their D was not dominant the last few years either. We'll have to see if that is any kind of upgrade.

With Nichols out we'll find out sooner rather than later...

They did sign those former Lions as FA's. Not Lions cuts, though so I'd say that is a big difference as the Bombers sought them out.

Just now, TheSource said:

Not a bad strategy to look at the cuts from the deepest, most talented, and best team at finding new talent.

Better than Bombers who go dumpster diving each year in the cuts or free agents from Sask, Montreal, and BC - the bottom dwelling teams.

 

What's that say about a team's scouting when they cut their own recruits & sign the cuts from the Stamps? That it was a fail. WTH is Murphy doing from November to May?

Their fans claim this just shows how deep their receiving corps is.

Can someone post their projected starters at receiver?

So now Trump is saying all tariffs should be removed I just read.

He is a dumpster fire, train wreck crackpot. 

G7? 

Please don't ever have it in Canada again. $400 million it's costing. For what, a few meetings, some photos of them all smiling, and hoping to release a statement

All could be done with a video conference meeting.

Complete waste of a very large amount of money.

 

All this for Trump being on Canadian soil for about 24 hours. Just what was the point of this meeting anyway?

What's the over under on the number of guys they go scrap heaping on after all the cuts are made??...

Gleefully am pretty sure bombers will make....zero.. we are going to have a hard enough time squirelling away all our cuts to save for a later date 

You know that Jones loves Stamps cuts. Every year he & Murphy load up on their rejects. The Stamps should send the Riders a bill for scouting.

It sounds like Chad Owens is being chopped as well.

Owens has been irrelevant as a player & getting by with his reputation for years now. That would be one move I'd agree with. 

8 minutes ago, Mark F said:

So they think they can get more out of him than O'Shea/Hall were able to I guess.

Don't think so.

Why else would they sign Hurl & let Muamba go? That is the plan. As crazy as it is. They wanted to get cheaper at MAC. Spend $$$ at other positions.

2 minutes ago, Mark F said:

So, they will have to start Hurl?

that won't work out well. Won't matter where they put him.

 

I think that was the plan all along. For Hurl to be a starter. 

Just now, rebusrankin said:

Who the heck are the Riders 7 starting NIS? Labbatte, Clark, Edem, Hurl, Bailey, Evans, Messam?

Not the strongest group from what I see. 

I don't know why CFL fans don't start some kind of an internet campaign to have him replaced.

Bakari Grant cut by the Riders too. 

Lost a lot of respect for Grant last year with his antics in front of the cameras on the sidelines. When he was in Calgary he was a pro who quietly went bout his business & was solid. A leader on the Stamps receiving corps. When he got to the Riders he became a showboating loud mouth on the bench & field. The Duron Carter Effect I bet.
