Funny, when Jones was DC in Calgary he never blitzed much. But same thing, his DL did things that other teams didn't. His defensive schemes were complex. Calgary was near or at the bottom in 2011 for qb sacks sacks. When he left to to go to the Argos only a handful of Stampeder defensive players were sad to see him go.
and wasn't Calgary also leading the league in cheap shots at the time Jones was there too? No coincidence.

Why does Buck get a pass from Burke being upset with the vets? Somebody call in and ask him.
because Buck doesn't go on Twitter and make comments about Mack? Because Buck plays the way Crowton asks him too and accepts the responsibilities given him without complaining? Because Buck is a leader? Because Buck didn't get busted with pot in the off-season and didn't tell the team?

If I was a smart coach I wouldn't of let myself get into this situation. A smart coach would of axed Buck and kept Elliott and then have an open competition and hopefully Hall or Goltz steps up and takes the job.
a smart coach who wanted to get fired maybe. Keep Elliot - yeah don't think so.
-
What I don't understand is why resign a guy in the offseason and then turn around and say he's lost a step when you cut him. If this about his legal troubles then this is BS.
IMO, the way Burke has been talking to the media all camp, it was like he had his mind made up he was going to cut a vet before camp even started. Too bad he cut the wrong one.
LOL! The wrong one? One of those other vets that got busted for pot and didn't disclose it?

According to Bob Irving on Twitter, the Bombers feel Hef has lost a step...
-
wow....
-
with the new TV deal, we're expected to break even... which would be remarkable since it would be the only time in many, many years that the Argos don't post a loss (aside from hosting GC years)
I'll believe that when I see it. Perhaps if they hire Pamela Wallin's accountant...

Jones is a good coordinator. However he's teams play unethically and take way to many cheap shots. CFL needs to start fineing that team and Jones for the good of the game.
the league might as well just write the cheques for the fines, as the money the Argos pay for the fines is just going to go right back to them for their annual bail-out anyway.

So, Rod Black said the Esks are playing an exhibition game there. Are they nuts?
yeah - why would Fort McMurray want Rod Black in their city?
-
I have no doubt the city of Fort Mac is making it worth the Eskimos while to come up. They've got tons of cash to burn. There's no way the Eskimos lose money on this deal. If they do they're idiots. Even the Argos could make money on this, and THAT's saying something.
-
Not totally true. If all 7 spots are full, you can use an extra spot on a player who was in that year's draft, such as Pavlopolous.
makes sense - better than just hiding them on the IR like most teams have done in the past.

I'd say the Argos were trying to force the Bombers into revealing more of their protection packages by going after our QB's and I'm glad that Burke and Crowton didn't fall for it and get into a **** swinging match with them in a meaningless preseason game.
Great point! I can't believe all the pissing and moaning on the other site about how bad we looked. A certain idiot clown is already asking for Burke's head, if you can believe it. It's a pre-season game for goodness sakes. The best strategy is to not reveal very much if anything in the pre-season about your playbook. It's about evaluating the guys you have while bullets (albeit rubber) are flying. If the other teams want to win the pre-season Grey Cup they are welcome to it.
-
Did anyone else think David James might have been cut? He was beat quite a bit out there.
The only reason I know who that is is that in every Argo offensive highlight he was chasing after someone after getting beat.
-
I'd like to see a two-QB system, where if Buck goes two-and-out a few times, we throw in Goltz to mix it up. It worked great against the Arblows in that game where we kicked their sorry asses - we brought in Brink for a series and he just sneaked his way all the way down the field while the Argo defence just stood there bewildered. It's good to throw in a guy here and there to throw off the defence, especially if the guy that's in doesn't get a rhythm going.

I watched Goltz being interviewed on CTV last night (it was in the locker room after the game on Wednesday) and he was clearly hot that he didn't get more playing time. Good to see that he is a competitor and wants to get out there and show what he can do. Clearly he feels he's the number two and he got shafted in that game against the Argos. In any event, I hope he gets a full half to strut his stuff in hell-hole in Guelph. Time for Goltz to step up and grab it, as you know Hall wants it just as bad.
-
I think that we should just ask the other teams we play this year really nicely if they'd not blitz all game. And then make pouty faces at them when they break their word.
-
i imagine that Anthony is going to get the same sort of treatment next Thursday @ Varsity.
the East could well be decided by who's starting QB makes the most starts.
well your D-Bo-ordinator is apparently a bunt...(I have problems typing the letter "B" )....

thanks for taking the time to write that - good report. Especially appreciated for all of us out of province fans.

Does anyone know if the "Bomber Traffic Plan" is in place for concerts also?
I have Taylor Swift tickets and if 30,000+ people are left to their devices it could get ugly next week. Thats the next big test.
LOL! You actually are admitting this? I'd be more like "my 13 year old niece has tickets and my sister wants to know if the Bomber Traffic plan is in place for concerts. Yup. My sister. And my niece. Not me."
-
Jones has always been a ***** so it's not surprising they'd just try and hammer Pierce, if you take him out in the preseason there's one less team to worry about.
Also why the bombers SHOULD have moved on from him in the offseason. Can't rely on a guy that is marked.
I like that there seems to be no auto-correct for swearing on this site. Cool! Made me spit out my Diet Coke when I read it though. As for the "marked" comment - not sure what you mean there. Aren't all QB's 'marked"? I don't get that.

...Wpg born and raised, was working in BC (Kelowna?) and got hired to take Wheeler's gig, when he jumped to CITI. Never listened to the kid.
I will say that, as much as I love Kelly Moore (...an old friend...) and don't dislike Jim Toth, this half-time show has been atrocious....yeeeesh......

Really - I'm curious to know who from the prairies stepped up. Interesting.
