  1. Have you ever thought some people don't have all day to wade through 63 insignificant posts to discuss the topic they'd like to talk about?
  2. don't think your safety is supposed to be putting up huge tackle numbers.
  3. Bauming should get a show if not every day every other day during the season and training camp. Not just at 7pm once a week or whatever
  4. yeah training camp seems like mostly an excuse for the reporters to catch up after the offseason. Bauming and Tait seem like the only guys who looks like they're working for the most part.
  5. Thanks for summarizing the idea of a draft for all of us who aren't familiar with the concept. Would be way more interesting if you actually added something of intellectual value instead of constant pessimism.
  6. You can’t say Oliveira doesn’t make cool instagram videos though.
  7. I'll be happy if we can sign Walker or Roosevelt
  8. They were actually very mad about that one 😂
  9. I think hes speculating just as I am speculating.
  10. If you read the whole post I added we were able to attract CFL free agents but are seemingly unable to find top tier talent in the states as the players are not familiar with him. Bet I’m right though. CFL is a recruiting game and most of the players want to make it back to the NFL.
  11. You'd have to be born yesterday to believe the HC has no input on which players the club brings in. Delete this.
  12. But that's the whole point of my post, we have to sign free agents to compensate for not being able to recruit high end talent from down south.
  13. After another crushing defeat to the hands of the riders and some time to recover from the throbbing headache and pain from the loss the day before. I did a little bit of soul searching and some deep thinking while sitting at my desk at work today about the plight of the Bombers. Sure it would be easy to lay all the blame at the feet of the under performing veteran QB we just gave a big contract extension to, but in my day of meditation I think I've come to a realization that there are a couple things that could be hampering the Bombers and it runs deeper than just quarterback play. Just a year or two ago everybody was celebrating the hiring of two Canadians at the clubs top positions, we were given hope with the signing of high profile Canadian talent and some big name american free agents. At this time the club was desperate for a turn around and had the cap space to make these quick changes. The club was also celebrated for having a much deeper Canadian prospect pool than they had ever had in recent memory. This turn around was exactly what we all wanted to see especially after Joe Mack had seemingly depleted our Canadian pool to nothing and was unable to find a quarterback. Now I don't think the GM is the issue in Winnipeg and I actually think Walters has done a good job under the circumstances, my theory that I keep coming up with is basically comparing a head coach in the CFL more to a head coach in college football rather than comparing them to an NFL head coach.I think one of the issues we've been having here is not necessarily scouting but having a head coach that can recruit high profile american talent. Finding the talent is only half the battle and having an american head coach that is familiar with players agents, their college coaches, is able to tap in to these football pipelines in the south, and somebody these players are familiar with is a huge tool that some of the coaches in the league have over O'Shea that played his entire career in the CFL and went to a Canadian University. When people talk about recruiting in college football, one of the biggest things that is always brought up is the players went to that school to play for a specific head coach, I don't think young players who have generally never heard of the CFL are too excited to come play for a coach from Canada that never made it to the NFL which is ultimately their goal. Football players coming up here I believe have to be convinced they will be put in a position to show their talent and be put in a position to succeed. Unless you know quite a bit about the CFL and know that Osh was an all time great up here I don't think that's a big sell to a player who will be coming up here essentially leaving everything behind and coming to make very little money rather than staying in the states and sitting on a practice roster. A guy like Devone Claybrook in my opinion would instantly improve us in that area as he's played in the NFL and has a ton of experience coaching in this league as well as being from the southern american states. Just my 2 cents....more like 10 cents.
  14. I like how you go on this rant basically guaranteeing you know the result. You Hire a new HC in the offseason, then allow the new HC to choose his coordinators. You're very confused and it shows in your rambling post.
  15. I was a little tipsy but I remember the first drive the team was moving the ball and picking up first downs, its 2nd and short, they decide to run the worst wildcat direct snap I've personally ever seen.
  16. Philly booed their offence after the first half of week one after coming off a super bowl win.
  17. Looks like you’ve changed your tone. This team has been trash for the better part of the season and it’s funny you couldn’t see that until now.
  18. throw that 10 yards farther he catches that in stride.
  19. Can only handle so many decades of mediocrity and excuses, time to shut up and win.
  20. Haven't heard Randall say that either even though he's been the worst of the bunch for weeks.
  21. yeah maybe watch a little closer next time. Under threw him by 10 yards/
