And offensive lines... we got the best one of those too.

Jersey foul.

Kyle Walters can't pay big contracts because he's strapped for cash.

A lot of people forget that Andrew Harris has always been kind of a prick of a football player. We could overlook it with him being the hometown hero and all that, but I really disliked him when he was a lion and this is why. One of those guys you love when he's on your team but otherwise...

Plus the core free agent pick up happened a few years ago... Bryant, Bighill, Jefferson.

That fits with Harris though. Guy always has a chip on his shoulder over something. Probably what he needs to motivate himself.

Well that's en empty apology.

They are still blocking the border in Alberta and kenney was only to happy to rush the dropping of restrictions... what are they actually protesting?

They're authoritarians who want a white Christian theocracy. Y'all queda north.

People just see the losses and have been hit on the nose with the rolled up newspaper too many times they assume the team will be bad again. We're in a new era fellas.

I did... Collaros as I recall was a guy who lobbied for McKnight as well.

This team is built for this year and the future. The core this team has brought back can absolutely win but it's also got the depth to maintain success. It really is next man up. Calgary has lost tons of players and remained a good team just because there is a pipeline of talent coming in continuously. Just trust in the plan from the management. It has built a team that is the envy of the rest of a league.

Yeah like within the top 2 picks for this team we're going to take an OL. Just the way it's always done by walters.

Ok so you base it on one receiver who catches jump balls... the ol and no rb are still a major concern. Fajardo is a very limited quarterback and they would have done better focusing on the ground game as opposed to receivers IMO. Fajardo ain't gonna ever be a passing wizard but you have a strong run game (which he would be part of) and focus on the short quick passes that is how you get the most out of him. So basically the opposite of Jason Maas.

it was, but last year was pretty clearly Collaros team. Now Harris took over in the west final no doubt... but that was as much the OL taking over as anything. I am not trying to downplay Harris at all, but we won plenty of games without him last season as well. I think it's completely fair to ask how well he would hold up physically given his last season.

Why is that? Their OL I don't see as being upgraded and their RB signed in Ottawa...

What were his stats like last year?

Gotta think walters is saving some money in the event guys like Desjarlais come back from the NFL. He has never liked spending right to the cap from the get go. Always leave some wiggle room.

There's probably a better chance we lose Castillo to the NFL than Edmonton. Look we need to stop and remember how this team was built in the first place. Couple key free agents but mostly it was guys they drafted or recruited. Lose Stove? Well recruit another guy. Lose Lawler? Recruit someone else. Desjarlais to the NFL? Well There's a reason walters drafts olinemen every single draft. Darby was a guy they grabbed in season as an injury replacement. Kyle walters is all about depth.

Sadly they're probably picking their beat and brightest.

It's not about money, it's about how much is left in the tank. Bombers don't trust his body to hold up.

Old, washed up, injury prone, over paid. To hell with him.

We did, but we retained a ton of good players too... and we have a top front office that has shown an ability to bring in players. The fact players from our team are so in demand is a testament to what the Bombers have done. Other teams go "if you can't beat em poach their players." I bet we see some good pick ups on value deals in a few days when the initial frenzy dies down. And he really did bring the cup home after the drought. He's a made man in winnipeg regardless of how it ended.

They saw him every day 2 months ago... and he couldn't practice like all season. Yes he contributed but he was also a part timer all year. I think at 35 at the position he plays it is fair to wonder about his fitness level for a coming season.
