We should have taken Banks in the Ottawa dispersal draft anyway. Better late than never.

I really hope we get Collaros.
 
I couldn't handle a season of Burris, Bellfool and Etch. Oh god.

When the alternatives are Etch and Marshall, Tibesar looks much more appealing. 

I'm still hoping for Tibesar as DC.

Sign Carter already!

I totally didn't expect Doug Hogue to be black.

I really wish we'd look at Kavis Reed.  I think he'd be a very solid choice as DC, and much better than Marshall or Etch.

There is no lazy, there is no stigma for Stubler.
He, and his wife , discussed the matter thoroughly, and they both came to her decision to stay closer to home.

I think January is above average. He's not dominant, but he's well respected in this league and...he's ours.
Truly a competitor and a stand up guy.
And if you compare him to the rest of our line alone, then he's way above average.

According to coachingsearch.com, Pat DelMonaco has joined the Calgary Stampeders as Offensive Line Coach.

I'd certainly take Marshall over Etchevary, and Reed over the both of em!

Judge Walters in August, not December. So far so good, yes. Lets see who we get to QB and how active we are in Free Agency. 
 
 
As for comparisons to Berry, what Doug said was, on day one of TC: "Some of you guys are here not because you're the best, but cause you're affordable."
 
While I get thats similar to what Walters is saying, its kind of a lame thing to say from a team building perspective.
 
Still would take Doug to OC.  

I'm really pulling for Khari. I think He's ready this time around... He's worked under some good OC's, and he was a damn good QB in this league under some good OC's. He's intelligent and he wasn't to bad in Hamilton on his first go around, Now he's had a year under the best OC in the league. He took Kevin Glenn and got him out of his funk and got him back into a the good QB territory.
 
I think Khari is really movin up and could be a feature OC in the near future. Let's hope its with us.

Jason Boltus plays QB like Rob Ford on a diet.
 

if Bob Wylie is going to coach an o-line in the CFL can the Bombers please drive a dump truck full of money up to his house and get him here?

Secondary really needs to start turning over.  The only guys I'd keep are Washington and Sears, maybe Jovon at a discount to play safety/dime.  Washington and Sears can really play anywhere, but I'd put them out at weak half and weak corner, bring in some young guys to play the wide-side of the field.

Id be disappointed with Burris... Im sooo tired of having a good team for a year or maybe 2 and then it all going to sh!t shortly after

maybe he's filming Season 2 of the Amazing Race Canada.  He was pretty good in Season one.

I'm not sure why people seem so down on Kavis Reed and so up on Mark Nelson. Our defense gave up fewer yards per game and allowed fewer points in 2010. We had 15 more QB sacks in 2010 but the 2009 defense had a lot more interceptions. When looking at the other numbers there wasn't much of a difference. I'm not saying hire Reed, I just curious why people think Nelson is better. I know people like to put all the blame on Kelly but it was Nelson that got Barrin Simpson's knickers in a knot. I know a lot of fans didn't like the way Richard Harris was treated that year and to me that falls as much or more on Nelson than Kelly.

I wouldn't mind keeping him on as a consultant still, could use someone with his experience in a situation with a bunch of rooks anyway. As long as we get rid of Boltus and someone convinces him that Boltus is a terrible QB.

Word is that the Bombers feel strongly indebted to Bellefuille for airlifting in during the middle of a completely helpless situation. Really a no-win for him, but he still did it, and probably got a lot more done than anyone thought possible. Now, whether that sense of gratitude translates to "we owe you a job" is unclear at this point. Not sure I want him as OC, but wouldn't mind him as some kind of assistant.

I'm just now listening to the press conference (about 1/2 way through) and so far I'm really impressed. I really liked his answer when he was asked about how well he knows offence and he said to "truly beat an offence you have to understand what they are trying to do to you". Compare to Tim "I don't know offence" Burke. Night and day.
 
 
And a DB I believe. Gotta love those two way players back then.

What impressed me was when Walters, after hiring McManus and Goveia, said he was happy to have other personnel to talk football with because he only had Siddall to bounce the name of coaches around with. That tells me, after initial  conversations with Miller, it was left to Walters to carry on…something Miller said he would do.

Lol @ Best Ever. Very excited for what seems to be a stream of really good things. Hoping for more positive news as the offseason continues.
