"Operations" salary cap not going anywhere....

 

 

Whites okay but I'd sure like a guy about 3 or 4" taller than him...

No idea who that is. I guess that'd be why I'm a football fan first.

And also NOT a creepy old man... Good work, Mr H...

Pretty sure Shonte was "Peoples" so definitely not related.

I have no problem with Elgersma chasing and NFL dream but sooner or later he’ll be in the CFL if he wants a pro career at QB. I may be biased but I think the sooner he comes to that conclusion the better off he’ll be.

I think almost everyone is in agreement on this.... But nobody should slight the kid for trying. I'd be more than happy to see an honest to goodness Canadian, trained in the CIS, QB make it down south... If for nothing other than to show that the CIS is growing as a legitimate talent source.

My cousin was in the market for a new TV about 5 years ago and did a bunch of research and found a pile of good reviews on TCL Roku so we each got a 65" for (I think) $549 or something... And have absolutely no complaints. Next house I think I'll upgrade to the 75, but otherwise I'm a fan of the TCL Roku TVs, in general...

Stan at the right price, I'd take... That's about it. 

Right now I'm wanting a good C, some IMP DL and REC... If we can grab some quality pieces there I think we're in decent shape.

Vaval back is massive....

Glad to have the kicking team back. Sheahan will never be a guy with a boomer leg, but I thought he was really good this past year especially. 

When it's HNIC Saturday Night and the Leafs are playing, the PBP crew will always be an extension of the Leafs regional crew. As it was, as it is, as it ever shall be. 

Whatever... Shove it up their ass with a win. 

 

 

“I agree to a certain extent, then there’s a certain extent that I don’t agree with. It is what it is, but obviously, we have to have a lens. That’s one of the things I always talk about. Players have to have lenses; coaches do too. We’ve got to do a better job getting our players prepared to win football games. I think we had some adversity last year. I thought we handled it the best way we could, but there’s some things that we need to get better at. And then there’s a reason why some of the guys that were on my staff aren’t coming with me to Ottawa.”

 

Dinwiddie only brought two coaches with him from Toronto to Ottawa — receivers coach Pete Costanza and quarterbacks coach Drew Tate — choosing to fill the rest of his staff with new faces or incumbents.

 

 

 

 

“It’s an important piece for game flow, something we talk about every single year. We know there will be fewer stoppages with the automatic 35-second clock, and we need the on-field officials relying less on the replay centre,” he said.

 

“We are trying to balance, of course, getting the call right with game flow and making sure the game is moving at pace. The expression we use is ‘clear and obvious.’ If there’s an egregious error that’s clear and obvious, let’s have the replay centre step in. But otherwise, it’s the job of the officials on the field to run the game. We’re going to do more research on how we can implement those objectives, and there are future rules committee meetings coming up in the next couple of months where we will discuss again.”

 

 

 

Feels like there's gonna be a bunch of these....

 

 

It's a no to a US draft....

It’s backwards. He was drafted as and started out his career at G. He was in and out of the line up and bounced between g and c. But he played much better at c and was at C most of year and maybe the best C in the league. The previous year he was at g the whole year. 

 the cats ol prior to last year was pretty bleh and they didn’t run balanced play call. he’s an excellent run blocker and good in pass pro. he’d fit us brilliantly. 

 I don’t think we will be in the market to pay that though. 

Was just basing it on this, which said he couldn't snap so they moved him to G...

 

Do we want Woodmansey? Apparently he started out as a C but was shitty so they moved him to G where he was a bit better. 

Another note from Walters presser today - Condell is going to double as the QB coach. O'Shea says they might add one or two more coaches but he's in no rush to do that. 

No problems here with bringing those boys back. You need some continuity in an OL. As mentioned many times, a quality C is going to make all the difference with this line. Thought the RT was quietly very solid all last year and if the behemoth at LG takes another step in his development, things are looking really good....

This is from a couple weeks ago... I posted about it when it dropped. He said the Bombers will be absolute trash this year and end up having to trade Zach to TO, Kelly will go to Ottawa and Brown back to Winnipeg...

For me it's not about $$ it's about finding that absolute force in the middle. Sayles reminds me of Vega. He's above average but not someone who is going to be dominate game in and game out. I wouldn't be disappointed if the Bombers signed Sayles, but I wouldn't want to place all my hope in him turning around the DL....if that makes sense.

Tremendous comp. Solid, but not special. If he came cheap enough, I'm fine bringing him to camp, but I'm not going out of my way to pay for a guy like Sayles that we SHOULD be able to find a copy of via recruiting. 

IMO, he is definitely NOT in the same conversation as a guy like Jake Ceresna, who you absolutely would break the bank for.
