I didn't budget for a sellout with Huff. I budgeted for 3000 more per game which would be an average of 30-31k per game. Realistic if you look at attendance during the 2011 Swaggerville season. If Huff could produce a consistent 10-12 win team, he'd more than pay for his salary at $1 million per season as GM and HC.
Yes they could. 3,000 extra tickets sold per game over a full season is an extra ~2 million dollars. Not very good at math, hey?
Then you could volunteer to be his offensive coordinator, cause they couldn't afford to pay one.I'd like to see the Bombers step up and make a big splash by giving Huff $1 million per season to be our HC and GM. Unfortunately our CEO and Board are way too cheap, and too stupid to understand that you need to spend money to make money. You put a winning product on the field and you'll average 31,000+ bums in the seats per game vs the 26-27k we probably averaged this year.
Once they put together a legitimate balance sheet that demonstrates an ability to operate the Football Club, IGF and service their debts we can start dreaming. They haven't done that since the stadium opened. I don't know how you budget for sellouts. Hiring Hufnagel isn't like flipping a switch.
And if he wins 15 games over two seasons and you want to fire him? Can you, or are you too invested financially? Hufnagel's success isn't just him. He's got the best personnel guy in the recent history of the league with him, he's got Dickenson, Stubler etc. If you can't build that organization, what's the point of paying one person?

No prob whatsoever with bringing players in for a looksee, no matter what time in the season. Cal Murphy did that all the time and unearthed quite a few gems (I believe Greg Battle arrived that way). What is the harm? Seriously?
There is no problem with it if it producing results. It is not and therefore those responsible should be up for review before continuing their employment. Why pay people for not fulfilling their job duties?
This is a weird argument. I get the argument that Walters has struggled to find talent, but you're arguing that he shouldn't bring in any players to look for guys who are talented?
Makes no sense. This is extended training camp essentially for every team in the league with the expanded PR.

Because for that to work, Tajh has to want to leave Winnipeg and go to Montreal. PR's aren't like waiver claims.
I also find it amusing to see how many people take things at face value. And "off field issues" could be anything, including my theory.O'Shea said he was released because of off field issues. Do you really think that O'Shea would make stuff up in order to somehow save face? He doesn't strike me as a guy would would publicly lie about something as straight forward as releasing a guy of the PR, because there's no benefit to him or the organization in doing so.
It's always amusing to see how many people can try to find a conspiracy behind any situation.
And ya, O'Shea is nothing but forthcoming with the media
That returns us to tburg's question of how that saves us face?
Any team can can pull someone off of another team's PR. And any team can block that trade by putting them on their AR.
So? What does this have to do with your theory? How is this any different than what the person you responded to posted? Clearly he wants to be in Montreal, he just signed there. All the other poster is saying is that the Bombers could have easily blocked it if they wanted to. Clearly they didn't want to.

You'd be hard pressed to find a football team in Canada from high school to the pros who are playing the kind of 80s defense you guys are describing with guys guessing where the ball is going and chasing, and not gap control on first downs and 2nd and short. The only major variations are on passing downs.
I see it every game in Calgary. No high school linebacker lines up like Hurl. No Eskimo linebacker either btw.
Every linebacker in Canada (excluding SAM's in the CFL) is playing through a gap first and foremost against the run, regardless of where they are lining up. Formation doesn't matter, the gaps adjust to the blocking. Just as every offence is using zone blocking in the run game. It's a cat and mouse game. Might swing back again, but that's where it is now.
Edmonton rarely shows a front with fewer than 5 guys on the line, same for Hamilton. The guys in the middle are commonly the ones closer to the line taking an inside gap, that's why the playmakers are now the WIL's, Lawrence, McCoil, Bass, Venable etc.
-
When you think about it, do you really want to make the playoffs only to get thoroughly embarrassed by Edmonton? Even if Drew Willy plays, the last thing I want to do is put a guy behind centre, our franchise QB no less in what may be his first game back to face a defence like that against our offensive line.
Edmonton has looked pretty bad in the 2nd half of the season. It's not even cliche this season to say that all you gotta do is get in the playoffs to have a shot at the Grey Cup. The Bombers are literally one play from winning over Edmonton and Calgary in half the games they've played them this season.

Unfortunately i think that Denmark and Moore have become complimentary receivers not go to guys, they need to add that true number 1 receiver. Imagine if they could get SJ Green, 2 in the slot, 1 kicks out to receivers and all three would have careers years with Willy throwing the ball of course.
Denmark is the guy other teams are choosing to sit on with a guy over top and covering him on a curl drop too, bracket coverage. Since teams have been doing that our offence has been awful. Moore isn't a #1 guy, other teams don't respect him and just hand him the rope to finish himself off, drops and fumbles. Adams is lazy as all hell, it's been awesome for the few halves of games he's decided to play hard. I wouldn't bring either of those guys back next year.
Denmark is a very good player, hard to get him the ball though when there's no one else who is a consistent threat.

Hurl lines up 1-2 yards from the LOS everytime in the A gap over center left or right. lt looks more left than right. But he can't read the play, react or get to it unless it is run towards him. He gets caught up in the wash on the line all the time. I don't get why Hurl is almost on the LOS everytime.
Because that is the system they are running. It's all about keeping OL from getting to the second level and forcing cutbacks. Bass is basically your MLB in the way you're thinking of it, the guy chasing the play. He's been a beast once he adjusted to the width of the field and figured out how to get on the right side of the play to make tackles with his inside shoulder.
-
It's not even that they lost guys through attrition. Taman made extremely short-sighted decisions around the Expansion Draft. They decided to give up all their interior NI DL. Within a year they were plugging Canadians in as starters on the interior DL. Just poor management.
-
Glenn has been relatively awful since he returned from injury.

Goosen played the entire game at C in the blow out loss to the Stamps earlier this year in one of the worst performances by the O-line to date. Hopefully he learned from that experience and gets better going forward.
Who was the quarterback?
Picard was in for all the debacles vs Hamilton and Edmonton. He's not adding anything, even mentally.
-
...and Griffiths will be the 6th OL.
If he can get out of his stance and not get blown 5 yards off the line on the majority of run plays he's already better than Neufeld.

That wasn't a block. It was just a collision. Stoudermire was running his route and the BC player ran into him.
And an illegal block. We were over due to catch a break though.We scored one TD on O. And that.... took two 3rd down gambles on a 50 yd drive.
That's a key point. Stoudermire is running a hard dig into the field. He's allowed his space too and he didn't really veer off his route. Phillips was stationary then read the route and reacted late. Looked like they had banjo zone coverage on with Phillips taking the curl/flat (ended up being Denmark) and the corner taking the deep route (Stoudermire). Phillips turns his hips and starts to run toward the boundary to chase Denmark, runs into Stoudermire's path. Stoudermire isn't even looking at him.

The best (worst) call he made last night was that QB draw after hammering the run game and intermediate passing game on the previous 7 plays. What did he think was going to happen? Even Nichols hates the playbook.
Worked though. Would have worked better if the left guard blocked anyone.
I honestly don't know how people expect any offensive coordinator to build even an average running game with so many overmatched OL. Capers wasn't getting off the line at all. He looked fine at tackle. Neufeld looks bad everywhere. Routinely getting bullied off the line by guys like Khreem Smith in the run game. Just brutal.
-
That offence is like an anchor for this team and I don't see a quick fix.
Start with handing Neufeld a plane ticket to Saskatoon.
-
Made it look pretty easy. Also almost pinned a single on BC on the last kickoff.
-
Fire Tedford? Wow did BC ever continually shoot themselves in the foot in the last 3 minutes. Outcoached in a big way. Two special teams fakes and two blocked punts.
-
Addison Richards still alive?
I guess Stoudermire is the next guy in at receiver, or you go tight end all the time. Stoudermire is much better at defending pass routes than running them.
-
If a tailback at 4 ypc is one of your best finds, you probably deserve to be fired.

Also need guys to fill in at an adequate level at the very least. The guys we've had playing when Adams or Moore have been out were terrible.
I think people would like that elusive 4th impact import receiver so that there would be no justification for dressing a Bastien or a JFG.Adams Denmark and Moore have been really good when together. Import WR not a big issue as some make of it.
Adams is very inconsistent and prone to lazy efforts too. He's handed the opposition at least 3 picks this year just being flat out lazy on a ball. I can see why the Argos moved on.

The only problem with O'Shea is that he has too much confidence in players who are a net negative on the team. The killers this year are Stoudermire, Hajrullahu, Picard and Neufeld. Put competent players in those roles and the Bombers are easily .500 and probably nipping Calgary's heels as they have two wins on us they don't deserve.
Agree but what competent players do you put in there ... Veltung for Stoudermire? Castillo for Hajrullahu? Goosen for Picard? ??? for Neufeld? Who do you have in mind?
There's about 10000 football players who are pro quality looking for work south of the border. Should be able to find a kick returner who doesn't kill the team and a punter. I'd be playing 3 imports on the OL until we have a 3rd capable NI, and I'd bring in a guy who actually is a guard to play inside, not be moving guys like Capers who is a tackle, inside. Easier to hide a weaker NI player at receiver or in the DL rotation.
