To be fair there’s 5 or 6 OL like that bouncing around at any given time. I swear there was a different Eric Lofton at one point too

I think you might be confusing Lofton with Jamar McGloster Lofton was with Ottawa in 2017, then BC, Edm, here, then Sask.

I doubt it. There’s already a guy with much more pedigree brought in as well. If he was going to be that, I think they’d have kept him over Richmond.

It’s not like they’re paying him starter money. It’s a TC body at worst.

I know highlight tape is cherry-picked but man that guy just looks like a monster at the second level

Dino? Better call Barney and Fred in.

Wait til he turns 1.. Wait til he turns 1..

Especially 22 in hindsight. 23 we were outcoached all game and outplayed in crunch time by a team on a roll. 22 was a game that Bombers gave away and had no business losing.

Tyrell Ford back. Huge.

A lot of football also players enjoy what they do to a point, but their love and passion is for another sport. Andrew Harris for example was a hockey player first. I just heard an interview with HOF lineman Anthony Munoz, he said his first love was baseball and really only chose football because of his size. I’m sure that’s more common than we realize too. In any occupation, the amount of people that truly love what they do is smaller than you’d think. It just so happens this is one that we idolize as fans.

When I was 8, Ken Ploen sat in front of me and my Dad at a game. I had a huge Pepsi with a bad lid, and I spilled it down the bench and all over Ken and his wife. I apologized and he smiled and said “don’t worry about it” but they went to clean up and never came back.. Dad was mortified. Sorry about that again Mr. Ploen. Rest easy.

BC to me got a bit better again. Robertson is a solid replacement for Betts, and I’m a little nervous at the prospect of the Lions figuring out how to run the ball tbh. Edmonton improved at QB and ST. Not enough to be a contender. Worst HC in the league. Bad lines. Calgary made a mess of their offence last year and didn’t do anything to clean it up. Going all in on McCheese has got to be the dumbest decision in the last decade, from any team. I can’t see them winning more than 5 games this year as everything stands right now.

I actually think the Riders will be relatively decent IE not total garbage like last year. They’ll win some games in the summer again before the wheels fall off. 9-9 is probably the ceiling with a QB like Harris, but I don’t see them being worse than Calgary or Edmonton.

That other punter on last years PR might be around too. Name escapes me, he was a bit older. By all accounts he can boom them, and has a more traditional style. I thought Jake Kelly was very good in his limited reps last year. I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t take over a larger ST role.

Yeah, at this point in their careers I’ll concede that. Still feel strongly the Bombers have the better overall group.

I wouldn’t. Judge and Bighill are a wash. Teitz isn’t anything special. Awe racks up tackles but a cheap shot artist. Herdman-Reid and Konar are meh, rather have Kramdi than either of those guys. I’d take Wilson and Cole over anyone over there.

Yeah things can change but right now the Stamps are shaping up to be the worst team in the league by a country mile.

Right. Montreal were putting Walby on and off the PR without telling him. The first couple times, he cleared waivers and they re-added him to the AR. Someone from the Bombers caught wind of it and swooped in to sign him.

Overpaying for Nic Moore that offseason was a big deal for the turnaround too. He wasn’t the greatest or anything but it showed the club had changed mentality and was willing to open the wallet. It was the first time in like a decade a sought-after FA didn’t turn them down.

Haven’t heard one way or the other about Clements, but he’s another guy I’d like to see them bring back. He’s been steadily improving.

I recall him and Weicek sitting at like 5 TCs in a row not watching a single thing before writing sensationalistic anti-Bomber drivel twice a week.

I was mostly kidding. Hypothetically though the chain reaction of better roster use could have had someone more game ready/developed ready to come in.

Could have had another receiver rostered all year if a certain fullback wasn’t around. Name and rank escape me.

Just saying @Booch and @GCn20 Rehash or not, agreeing or not, hell of a job having a considerate conversation. That’s how it’s done. A football debate between 2 guys that played and coached the game at a higher level than me? I’m here for it.

That was his brother(?) Ranthony. This is Raleigh Texada. With those names they must be bothers right?
