I wonder if a desperate eastern team (ie. Montreal) might be interested in Watson via trade. Perhaps they have some form of advanced training methods that could rehab Watson's persistent injuries.
If so, I'd have no problem shipping Cory and a high draft pick next year (2nd or 3rd round) for Chip Cox. Cox would really complete our defense and is perfect for an Etcheverrian assault. . . . of course, Cox is pretty much the Als best overall player so I don't think a lame national wide receiver and a 2015 pick would even get Popp sniffing. What would?
Ahhhh...there's the Nate we know and love. Start with a conspiracy theory about secret training methods out East and then end with a bizarre trade proposal that no one on earth would ever consider. Beautiful.

Ya good point. I'd think Collaros gets at least a half season no matter how much he struggles.
If he has to endure the glares and screaming in his ear hole every game from Austin he may not even make it that long, he'll just quit.

I will always remember the name Korey Banks. Korey Banks is a reminder of a time when the Bombers literally could not afford the best players. We passed on 7 years of Korey Banks in his prime because we could not afford his salary and drafted Val St. Germain and Obby Khan instead. Ignoring ratio implications, having reminders of the muck we've waded thru to get to this point helps me appreciate the present so much more.
That is a good point. It was too bad that we couldn't afford him back in the day, when he could have anchored the defence for a long time, like he did in BC.

what the heck happened for real, is this seriously all because he wasn't a starter and wouldn't accept his role as a backup? if so, that's pretty brutal and selfish on banks part. There has got to be more than just that though. I mean, has to be? No? or is it really as simple as a 34 year old on the downside of his career wouldn't accept a backup role. If that's the case, what other team would want him? I'm not even sure Ottawa would take him actually, what happens if he starts a game, sucks then is replaced? does he ask for his release there too?
He'll be 35 in a month and a half.

As long as that guy is better (and from the sounds of things pretty much everyone else was this pre-season) then I really don't care about the money side of it. Just play ball. If we keep winning and dominating, in three weeks no one will even remember the name "Korey Banks".

On another note, Toronto would have had like 5 000 people at a game if this happened
.5,000 is what they get on a perfect weather day.

It is quite possible that with Ottawa up next, we could be 2-0 and the fans would be quite giddy, but it sure is going to suck when reality arrives. Burris & Co. may put up more of a fight than we expect.
The key will be to get to Hank early, and then once Hank becomes "Frank" the O for Ottawa will be neutralized. I have no idea what the Ottawa defence is going to be like. The one advantage they have over us is that they have the Toronto game film, while our guys have nothing really on Ottawa, save for what they showed in the pre-season. One thing I expect is that Ottawa isn't going to give us a bunch of points due to bad penalties like Toronto did. Re-watching the Toronto game, there were a lot of drives that ended up in points for us that were extended by dumb Toronto penalties. Both Burke and White Zombie need to work on some discipline as their penalties they accumulated on ST and D on a consistent basis were just plain killers for them.

Week 1 - CFL Power Rankings
in Blue Bomber Discussion
LOL yeah I can see it now - week 17:
Winnipeg Blue Bombers: Rank 7
With a 16-0 record, and a points for and against of +350, the Bombers still look for that elusive ability to finish games by half time. Brian Brohm hasn't been able to get into the game at any point this season before the end of the third quarter. Aaron Kelly seems to be stagnating, with only 30 TD's so far, not able to keep the two TD a game pace he'd been setting earlier in the season. Drew Willy's play has been lagging of late, with only three TD's and 295 yards of passing in his last outing against Edmonton, where the Bombers barely pulled off a 48 - 12 squeaker against Edmonton. The Bomber defence got really lucky that Mike Reilly threw three pick sixes and also fumbled four times. The O-line also struggled, giving up one whole sack against the vaunted Eskimo D-line; granted it was in the last minute of the 4th quarter, when the team water boy was brought in to play left tackle due to Mike O'Shea losing a bet to Bob Wylie. Still, the Bombers still seem to only slightly be improving over last year, and the 10-6 Stamps should dominate them thoroughly this week.
