It's definitely Ronnie... When you look at his Shepherd football bio where it lists parents, it only lists his mother, meaning his dad is out of the picture one way or another
I really don’t think so. If it were him, he’d be referring to himself in the third person near constantly.
Plus that profile is for “Ron Brown” and reads like an over 40. -
If you click that profile, it appears to be his father arguing with Tait

Augustine did improve a lot on teams over last year as well. I cant see an out right cut of him. He might end up being a scratch some or end up on the pr.
I’d see him being on the “1 Game” a lot. Thorax issues.

MCI is replacing Jackson on the roster, not Augustine imo. They’ll be able to use an American somewhere else like we all wanted last season.

I don’t even see a problem with wavering if more information becomes available.
For example, early 2022, I still thought we for sure needed an American running back. Brady’s play totally took a 180 and I was glad to change my opinion.
Something like: Having no interior DL who could push the pocket and 2 gassed out DEs cost us the last 2 Grey cups. That’s a hill I’ll die on.- 17to85, blue85gold, BigBlueFanatic and 3 others

Very true, but I always understand the viewpoint of new people coming in and being turned off by it.
I was a lurker on ourbombers but never posted because the people already had these built in dynamics and it was really hard to break into the conversation.
I think that’s more of a message board thing in general rather than a MBB/OB thing, but I will say I felt what you’re saying wayyy more on OB (and TEP) like 06-11ish.

Is Kramdi the 2024 version of Augustine/Jackson 2023 for which we all crap on because we have to nit pick?
No way. He’s serviceable at worst. Definitely deserves to be out there, just some of us think there’s some more talent to be had at that position.
I wouldn’t lump Augustine in with guys like Jackson or Shmeckel either.
Augustine and Kramdi are decent-solid.- Brandon and Fatty Liver

Yup. I’m shocked. He’s actually been pretty positive towards both jets and bombers recently. Perhaps he was told to stop the BS.
I think he’s been generally positive about the team since the drought ended.
Not sure how true, but I’ve heard over the years Friesen was butthurt about having to cover football instead of curling. Would explain a lot of the snark towards the Bombers.

Christian Aurmell talks Bombers a decent amount. I think he’s the next Tait or Irving, if he wants to go that way.

Parker is our best pure tackler as a DB....i'D even go as far as to say on team....also closes extremely quickly on the play....he's be a good option, tho is a bit small in my opinion as well...
Agreed...Cole would be a lethal safety....
Yeah he’s got a pretty narrow frame but I mean we’ve seen guys like Hefney and Clint Kent for example in the past excel in that spot.

Always and forever Pinball gets a pass. And, God forbid you criticize him. TSN carries a lot of water for him. That whole organization is slimy from top to bottom.
I’d agree on Pinball being canonized by the CFL back in the 90s. Granted, his gimmick is the big-eyed motivational speaker and he does a good job of playing up to that, ingenuous or not I have no idea.
They had a lot of d-bags in the mid-2000s (Ricky Williams notwithstanding. I give them props for that) and quite a few clowns lately.
Fair is fair, they brought in Bailey this year so we can’t say it’s all slimy.

Ya wasn't John Murphy implicated in trying to bury this too
I thought his time was up when he embarrassed himself fighting fans.
That’s gotta be it for him now though no?- Noeller, MOBomberFan and wbbfan

Who will be the prime destination I wonder. Riders for click bait? Hamilton is the team that could use him the most imo.
Agree, Hamilton is a QB away from being a scary team.
As much as I hate them, I’d love to see Rourke in Calgary. They need a marketable player like that to save their franchise. As an organization, they’re pretty hooped right now.
8 minutes ago, wbbfan said:They played together 2 years. In which time drummond put up 1632 rush yards to millingtons 1815. Both put up about 10k yards from scrimmage in their career. Anderson put up almost 10,000 yards just with rushing. Anderson out rushed drummond by 2200+ yards in the same amount of years. All 8 years over 1000 yards. Anderson had 3 years where he beat drummonds career high in rushing yards, and anderson only broke 1k twice Once, just barely as well. Anderson had another 3200 yards recieving.
Combine durmmond and millington and you have a career better than anderson, either alone is pretty comparable but nothing even close to anderson.
Damn. Stats don’t lie I guess, really thought I remembered Drummond being the guy that teams game planned around. I remember him making a lot of big plays on like 2nd and 2 when the whole country knew he was getting the ball.
I still say Anderson was slightly overrated. Piled a lot of stats running the ball when the stamps were up big in games.

Que the 5 3down articles about him coming back
Maybe in September. Even then I’d doubt it for this year.
I’d like to see him come back to somewhere other than BC. -

I wonder who the best OC buck worked under up here was. Im imagining it wasn't a bunch of elite offensive minds calling the offence. I think he was mainly the starter when Dorazio had his stint as OC in BC.
Probably Lapo himself. I think we had Gary Crowton and Jamie Baressi here during Bucks time.

Straight up dumb.
Rourke didn’t even get a shot and they drafted a kid who’s probably going to get them all fired.The anti-CFL bias is so real in the states.

Drummond only had 3 - 1000 yard seasons... never lead the league in running only an all star 3 times. First 3 seasons won the Grey cup as a back up in Baltimore/two seasons with Flutie and the Argos. Went to BC and platooned with Millington where he was usually the 2nd choice. Solid B+ level player but never elite. A product of playing on some amazing teams during an era when people were racking up insane yards.
No way would he be the second choice, and I don’t even think he played with Millington.
You’re thinking Cory Philpot, who was never the second back either. Sean Millington was a fullback, he wasn’t 1A over anybody.
Is it the Hall of Fame, or the Hall of Longevity?
If Kelvin Anderson is in, Robert Drummond should be too. Drummond was the more dominant back.

Mike O'Shea said that pound-for-pound Janarion Grant was undoubtedly the toughest player on the squad. Of course no one is irreplaceable. But guaranteed whoever is returning kicks this season will not be in Grant's class. I feel bad for him because the ankle/foot injury that cost him was a really dumb play call - a handoff that had him running a counter up the gut into heavy traffic.
Sometimes Buck gets a little too cute on those gimmick plays. He was brought up by Lapo after all.

2024 Blue Bomber Training Camp
in Blue Bomber Discussion
Posted
Like @Mike said. If a 32 year old career STer becomes the starting middle linebacker for 6 weeks or more, somebody ****** up really bad.
