Former NCAA player, bumbled around a couple camps north and south of border but 2 knee reconstructions and and 5 other surgeries derailed that life
 
Coached and did clinics north and south of the 49th, am a trainer and post mainly from personal experiences, first hand knowledge and the occasional tidbit i fel like tossing from people in the
"know"

After months of pretty intense treatments......am now facing a pretty long rehab, after being knocked out of the lineup, for the last quarter of this season. 
 
But yesterday the game films were reviewed and my med team have given the verdict........
 
Final score:
 
Do or Die........................1

However it will be a while before I can raise a Bombay, in salute.

Not sure it even makes sense.  It's just an old-school mentality.  Canadians aren't as good, put them somewhere where their screw-ups do the least amount of damage.  Yeah, Oline, all they have to do is stand there and block.
 
Until your starting QB is on the shelf for the rest of the season.  The days of the Oline as non-skill players is long in the past.  What they do matters.
 
And from a dollars and cents perspective, a top quality starting NI tackle has become the second most expensive player in today's market, only behind a starting QB (and Heenan is setting himself up come February for a salary higher than Crompton's I'm guessing).
 
Get all the best NI's we can on this roster and let the rest sort itself out.  If that happens to be 5 on the line someday, so be it, but that is not necessarily the "best" option.  It's just an option.

You could put sleeves on them and wear them to an ugly sweater party?

he Winnipeg Blue Bombers today are pleased to announce the club has signed their 2014 Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Maurice Leggett, to a contract extension. The agreement will keep Leggett in Winnipeg through the 2017 campaign.

Leggett finished his first season with Winnipeg in 2014, and made an immediate impact in the secondary upon his arrival. He finished second in the league with five interceptions (tied), including three in one game (Aug 22). He also recorded three fumble recoveries, 65 defensive tackles, and two sacks. In addition, he returned a missed field goal 114-yards for a touchdown in an October game in Ottawa.
 
“I love being a Bomber,” said Leggett. “From the community aspect and the amazing fan support, to the coaching staff and all of teammates, and how the organization treats us as players. It's an amazing experience to be in Winnipeg and play football professionally, and you only understand that once you spend time there.”
 
“Maurice came in early on and established himself as a real pro,” said Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters. “It was evident quickly that he could be an impact player for us, and his play spoke to that throughout the season. He works hard, studies and understands the game like a starting safety should. He’s also a versatile football player, who can play special teams and return some kicks if we need, which we saw evidence of this season. He’s an all-around good asset for our organization and we’re very happy to get him under contract for the next three seasons”

Huge signing. Leggett is a stud.

Guys, please do not let this degenerate into pettiness .. this has been an otherwise interesting conversation and I'd hate to have to intervene in the ongoing discussion.

Hey, it's fantastic to hear that MBB is supporting Big Brothers / Big Sisters. I'm a big brother and it's a great program. Thanks MBB!

I absolutely *HATE* the hockey mentality of "let players play".    If you don't want a penalty called, don't do something stupid to begin with.   In this case, if you can see the numbers on the back of a players jersey .. keep your hands off of him. 

Huge thumbs up to the mods for letting it twist and turn and get goofy at times. Makes this a great place to be. 
 
And huge props for those posting for the largely respectable disagreement. 

I don't. I'd rather it be a consensus whether Etch stays or goes. I would prefer to have Miller, Walters and O'Shea on the same page.

Liking how Walters is going about things....Locking down the guys we want to build with now before they even get to free agency, having the core "you" actually want and then doing inventory as to what you need to fill in the missing pieces with via free agency, scouting and the draft, and knowing what you have to work with cash wise with the cap. 
 
After the dust settles with the initial free agent frenzy, then you can re-visit some of your own second tier guys that were not first priority, and other teams guys who are still floating around to see if they fit in with what you are doing.
 
Well done, and I can see this team has a plan and system in place to correct 10-15 years of wrongs and it is doing it in a way to sustain the organization long term

Let's hope that's the last PI challenge we ever see.  One of the top three bad rule changes in CFL history along with changing the blocking rules on special teams and forcing teams to take a kickoff after a FG.  League was smart enough to kill both of those after one season, hoping the PI challenge goes the same way.

Which is why I find it absolutely laughable that people might suggest O'Shea's job might have been in jeopardy as well .. A coach needs more than one year to put his stamp on a team .. unless you completely poop the bed right out of the gate .. one (or less than one) and done is setting yourself up to become a circus.

There it is, every game of 2014 from week 1 to week 19, now on demand.  Should stay up forever or at least long enough for anyone to get the games they want to relive again or evaluate the team with.
 
Enjoy

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL...
 
Defence is a different story though...

One could only dream.
