If reports are accurate, Walters' draft chart was very different from Mack's and Mack's opinion won out.
I think we know that Mike Edem would be wearing Blue and Gold right now if it were up to Walters, and that probably would have meant Cauchy would have spent most of the season on ST, if he had started at all.

It's too bad that Gaydosh went first overall, as if we had gotten him he would have made a big impact for us....almost as big as Mulumba.

Good bye to "TAKE A KNEE!!!" I think O'Shea would rather pull his own fingernails out with pliers than take a knee with 25 seconds on the clock and a chance to win the game.

It's not laziness. He has a chance to coach Keon Raymond, Juwan Simpson, DeMonte Bolden, Charleston Hughes & a bunch of other great players on defense. He is on a winning team, an instant GC contender. He doesn't have that in Winnipeg. If he comes here, he could be fired in a year's time. I'll say it again, the Bombers outside of Winnipeg are looked upon as an organization with not a lot of talent that is in turmoil. The best coaches won't come here until we turn things around on the field.
Kind of a catch 22 then eh?

I heard the CFL media in Virden is also reporting these rumours.CFL media, Brandon.
Virden?….must be Avro Lancaster working behind the scenes!
What ever became of mr.lancaster?
Pretty sure I saw him on display at the Calgary airport...

Perhaps sometimes self preservation out weighs what some might consider as an occupational challenge.
Well there's not much else that outweighs Stubler. That man is unhealthily obese for his age.

Yeah no thanks on Marshall. He can go and work with Lapo on TSN, and take Kavis with him. Perhaps they could host "Consequences" - a new CFL show on TSN that would air in the West so we wouldn't have to watch Landsberg's awful show.

Many Happy Returns…..one of which was Demond Washington's punt return TD this past year and was highlighted again on TSN's Top 100 plays of the year!
and that valiant punt return effort, one of the best I've seen in a long time, was wasted. Just like I'm going to be next Tuesday! Wait, why am I waiting for Tuesday?

Stubler's D left the middle of the field wide open for Durant in the semi likely costing BC the cup in the process. Dodged a bullet as far as I'm concerned.
Yeah that was strange how Durant just started running up the middle and BC did nothing to counter it, even after Durant exploited it for big gains several times. The tide of the game changed completely after that.

Strange, I wonder if the foot injuries for DiCroce had anything to do with the Bombers losing him.
Had really high hopes for him.
I only saw two training camp sessions last season, but DiCroce was horrible in both of them. Dropping everything even in the warmup drills. The day after the second one they announced the foot injury. He certainly didn't look like a guy with CFL potential hands-wise.
and everyone was calling DiCroce the "steal of the draft" on the TSN panel. Oh well...

I thought I read somewhere that MB had said the offence will feature a lot of things he's learned over the past 1-1/2 years from visiting various teams (something like that). If that's the case I wonder how much of his past playbook is still being used now. It's possible it could be a completely new playbook compared to his times in SK, Montreal and Hamilton.
He can have my Blackberry Playbook for $10.
I don't think it will take much to improve the offence we've seen over the past year and a half. It's been just plain putrid, aside from some anomalies like the game last year against Toronto.

It's time for the Reinebold era of a Steel Curtain defence to begin in Winnipeg!! Release the Reinebold!!

Replacing Palardy with Sandro was one of the weirder decisions of the past year.
I think everyone was tired of Palardy's 35 yard kick-offs. Of course that was with a stiff breeze behind him.

No, he's no Mike Kelly that's for sure. But when he's not happy he shows it. When he's angry his answers are curt & to the point. He's never been adversarial with the media in the 6 seasons he's been in Calgary but it shows when he's upset. Monday, he lost a qb, an OL & a safety all starters & he is joking & laughing because he knows with his talent & depth, the Stamps won't skip a beat. The most negative thing he says is he's not happy about it. Huff's favourite movie as a football coach is, "It's A Wonderful Life".
Jason Boltus' favorite movie is "The Longest Yard"....
-
IIRC, after he was named OC didn't MB say QB decisions were up to the HC.
probably. Between Burke and MB there was a lot of buck-passing and blaming going on - "it's not my fault it's Joe Mack's fault"...ok whatever.
-
I was told that Goltz did not see the field in the last few weeks because they did not trust his decision making at all.
even on a QB sneak? Isn't that the definition of "no-brainer"?
-
Ok the Dickenson screw up was funny because you didn't do it on purpose. Now you're just milking it.I really would like clarity on the whole Boltus and Goltz situation . if they hated Goltz so much then why didn't they cut him?
Why wasn't Brown doing qb sneaks?
Yeah actually that would be cool to see Doug Brown come out of retirement just to do QB sneaks. We'd get 5 yards every time!
Fair enough - but the visual of Doug Brown doing a QB sneak just makes me laugh for some reason...
-
Right now I am really hoping we can land Collaros and Willy. It would be hard to pull off since I doubt Willy wants to move to another backup spot (though he could be sold on stepping in if Collaros sucks). I was hoping Nichols would hit FA but now our options are slowly shrinking.
I agree - if we can pull off a Willy we should be extremely satisfied.

Is this actually true? What are we basing this on? That Henoc will only play on a team that has Cauchy on it? I'm not sure that's cast in stone.
