Yeah you guys did well on that deal, as long as you end up taking two decent picks. Maybe you should hire Mack as a draft consultant...

Imagine Montreal offering us Bourke for our second overall? Who wouldn't do that trade.

Well that's not very nice...oh wait you said trucker...my bad.

You can still make fun of him, it just has to be handled internally.

Because Pencer and Swiston rock? Shrug.

I am waiting to see what his numbers look like at the combine. And I don't mean how much grain he harvests on his John Deere.

can we sign Schmitt? That guy was amazing, haven't seen a leg like that since young Jonny Ryan. PS - this is what happens when you move a pure wholesome prairie boy to a place where marijuana is legal... He looks like a stand-in for a bad Vietnam war movie.

They do?

Why would he need to move up from 2nd overall to get Goosen? I meant we take Lavertu with the second overall, then trade up to get Goosen.

It's good to know that we won't have Mack forcing the Bombers to take a WR or LB prospect instead of an OL this year. Load up on OL!

He's got a work out some time this week. If that doesn't result in an offer then the Laurent sweepstakes begin. I saw one article valuing him at $150K. I hope if that's true that the Bombers at least show some interest and put in a contract offer. He'd be a big piece on the DL. He won't be a replacement for Doug Brown (no one really could be) but he'd give us some roster flexibility.

I wonder if Kyle is able to finagle a move up the ladder if he sees Goosen is still available? He's got a few later round picks to dangle, plus Cauchy...

So tell him to get counseling on how to be a nice guy and go from there. Perhaps he could get some sensitivity training from Richie Incognito.

with us not having any import RB of note right now, what about going NI at running back? Volny backed up by a draft pick this year, or an NI free agent we pick up. That would give us a lot of flexibility too.

All? You mean all 2 the Bombers won in the 80's? Sorry, you just made it sound like we won 4 or 5 Grey Cups in the 80's. We should have won 4 or 5 with teams we had back then. 1983 was the first year we should have won, instead of 1984. And 1985-7 as well. We had some kick-arse teams in those days. And the one in 1990 was technically a 1990's cup. Then there were all those cups in the 00's....not...

No dumber than his comment about Muamba....

They'll both be taken in the first round. ok, so then we trade up to get another first rounder?

maybe we trade up to get a second rounder to nab both guys?

Was that the game where the Bombers destroyed the Argos? I remember Huffer kicking major ass in that game. I also remember our section chanting "Bring on the Bears!!" We should have gone to the Cup that year, but Kehoe fumbled on the one yard line in the West semi and that was it. Edmonton ended up getting crushed in the Grey Cup, but it was a great learning experience for their two upstart QB kids, Matt Dunigan and Damon Allen.

I miss Charles Roberts. Man that guy was fun to watch. I still remember watching in awe and amazement as D-linemen and linebackers whiffed and grabbed air as he just cut right by them, scampering for 20 and 30 yards at a pop. I still don't forgive that Diamond Ferri clown for pile driving him into the turf a few years ago. I am so glad we didn't sign that d-bag. It would have been like signing Adriano "Nut Punch" Belli.

Iso - we can't talk about how great things used to be or the sad-sack police aka Noeller and 17 will cry and whine. All I'm going to say is, we were really spoiled back then, especially when you look at some of the pathetic excuses for journalists we have now covering the Bombers. Penton is about the only one who seems to at least give a crap.

you misunderstood my post. I'd start Glenn at safety.

Cauchy for Glenn? I'd do that trade. I'll also trade you this nice bridge we have in Kelowna for your house.
