Guard. Less to think about. Basically a barroom brawler who just has to physically beat up the guy across. C has so much more to do on the field, incl calling formation and such. I actually believe that centre is the less physically demanding position. As long as a guy can snap and has a brain in his head should be able to play centre.

I agree re: inside o-line. It's scary. Sadly, the only way it's going to get better in the forseeable future is a prospect stepping up. Guys who can anchor an o-line just don't make it to free agency frequently enough to bank on that route. They could go for a trade, but the price is going to be high. It'll be a great day when we can stop fretting over the o-line. I think Greaves has developed into a VERY solid Guard Except that all too often he still looks very much like a converted DT. He needs to elevate his game more consistently because, as it stands now, he still gets beat quite regularly. Greaves is still something of a project. What we need is to hire a damned good offensive line coach. Mack loved to draft athletic guys, so there's guys with some tools to work with on the roster, need a coach who can turn them into players. Delmonaco didn't do much of that so the only way the line is going to improve is if we hire someone who can help players improve.

but... we haven't had a gooder since Roberts... OR to a lesser extent Ried. If Charles Roberts is the standard for RBs then you are always going to be disappointed. Guy was one of the all time greats. Reid was good, Simpson was good, Garrett was good. You simply don't need to worry about rb because you go down to the states and you bring in 2 or 3 guys who can play no problems.

Given how the coaching made receivers worse I would have liked to have seen Matthews with a chance to rebound after Crowton was fired. Worked for Denmark. Matthews just strikes me as a guy with the right kind of attitude. He never once bitched about having to be back in the CFL for a 2nd year despite having NFL interest. If he doesn't get an NFL shot then I hope to god we get him back here.

God damn it! Can we start getting some ******* summer time games in Calgary so I might actually have a chance to go to them?

He took forever to even be a guy you could play. He was kept around because of his athleticism, managed a couple good years then regressed last season. Not the kind of guy I'm too broken up about losing. Got more chances than anyone else would have just based on his athleticism.

I gave it a B, it's good but nothing really wowed me.

but that's the best time to think about things and solve all the worlds problems. Seriously you aren't comfortable alone in your head for that length of time?

Sorenson was no screaming hell for us but now I'm not seeing a centre that's better than him... have to see what the plan is.

Yeah but we already had the bar set really low for our coordinators.

This whole "I wuz hacked!!11!!" thing needs to stop. Having someone grab your phone and posting something is not hacking, leaving your **** open on a computer is not being hacked, saving your password in your browser for someone else to use is not hacking. Use the language properly. What they mean to say is "I'm a ***** and people are messing with me" or Glenn just ****** up trying to send private messages, that's the one that makes sense.

Toronto games might be worth watching this year.

Moore may not be as much of a sure thing as you are painting it. He's still a bit of a risk, but it's a potential high reward that Walters obviously feels comfortable taking. It's entirely possible that last season for Moore was an aberration, but it might also be that he's just breaking out and the Bombers scooped him up at the right time. Which it is remains to be seen and they paid quite a bit of money to find out. If it works out no one will complain and they'll praise Walters for a shrewd move, if it doesn't pan out it'll be an overpay for an american receiver that you can find anywhere. We all hope it's the first option not the second one.

A lot of the crazier Christian denominations though actually believe that the Bible is 100% word of God truth. They're ridiculous of course but that's what a lot of the fundies believe which is why they come up with all sorts of this nonsense. It's all quite ironic that they preach such intolerance because it's the most unchristian stance available. Christ was all about loving everyone no matter what and not judging anyone.

It's an interesting thought on Moore. The Bombers obviously think he is a break out star and worth going forward with, be interesting to see if he is or not.

Denmark turned the corner last year when he was moved to slot, didn't he? Denmark was the 2nd best rookie to Chris Williams in his first year then he started to suck until Gary Crowton was fired at which point he started to look good again... So to me Denmark was hampered by a poor OC moreso than anything. I think he will surprise some people this year.

careful you're going to start a giant rant

Yes it is. Both comments show ignorance and are uncalled for. That's like someone calling a homosexual a "fruit" while another calls that person a "****". The words don't matter, it's the message behind them does. edit: European cigarettes!! They're not the same. Yeah they're both ignorant but one sounds like a joke while the other is straight up intolerance. I got no problem with ignorant jokes because you gotta be able to laugh. Yeah you shouldn't be putting them on twitter but still a joke is pretty harmless compared to denouncing someone for being gay.

Followed quickly by "he was never that good anyway" If he re-signed with a whopper raise ? "worth every penny" one of the most under rated players in the league.

Fans admitting to over reacting? I'll take the odds of the Oilers making a late run towards the playoffs instead. They're only 17 points back and are something like 4-1-1 in their last 6, so you're saying there's a chance.....

Followed quickly by "he was never that good anyway"

but why would he even try to send a picture of desjardins to anyone?

So all those people who screamed bloody murder about the bombers leaving Dough Alert unprotected want to step forward now and admit that they over reacted?

the only useful tweet I've seen from Wiecek so far today has been talking about Eve Muirhead scoring a 7 ender in the olympics.

Hey last year the Bombers made a splash signing a young NI starting safety...
