If he feels like upper management is forcing him upstairs in order to hang on to DD, and still feels like he wants to coach, then maybe it's something he looks at...?

Walters' first year at Guelph was O'Shea's final year. Pat Tracy was on staff at Guelph then and he was also ST coordinator of the Ticats in 1998 when Walters was there. I knew I wasn't dreaming it...

Walters and MOS played together in CIS, I believe, and Pat Tracy was their coach, no? Am I crazy or did I not read that...?

I was "raised" on the Attitude Era, and two of my personal faves were always Val Venis and The Godfather....loved their whole gimmick.

If this kid is in any way related to Byron Capers, I like it that much more.......

This was a long time coming....interesting to see what Capers can do.

http://www.bluebombers.com/article/bombers-acquire-2016-2nd-round-pick-and-ol-in-trade WINNIPEG, MB., September 9, 2015 – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the club has acquired Edmonton’s best second round selection in 2016, and International offensive lineman Selvish Capers in exchange for National offensive lineman Chris Greaves. Edmonton holds two selections in the second round of the 2016 CFL Draft – their own and Saskatchewan’s – and the club has acquired the higher of those two picks. Capers (6-5, 308, West Virginia, November 15, 1986, in New Orleans, LA) has spent the past two seasons with Edmonton. He started nine games in 2014,, playing seven at tackle and two at guard. “With the depth we feel we have accumulated at this spot, we felt strongly about acquiring a pick in the second round of next year’s draft, as well as a lineman with some experience in this league,” said Blue Bombers General Manager Kyle Walters. “Chris has been a very valuable member of our organization for six seasons now, both on and off the field, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers sincerely thank him for everything he has done for this team, and our community.”

I really believe the only reason we dumped Etch is because good DCs became available. MBs offense looked just fine with Willy in there (in terms of production -- protection still lacking) so I'm really not sure they feel that MB is the problem ("it's the back-ups, not MB!") and I think the only way they dump MB at the end of the season, is if someone that's a proven upgrade becomes available. Now, I'm not saying that's RIGHT, but I'm saying that's what I think they'll do.....

You need to define/quantify that......such a broad term, "better".....

gary lawless ✔ @garylawless told that Henoc Muamba is on the Giants "short-list." not sure where that leaves his potential return to CFL.

The arrogance of some people to think that of he's not telling the media and fans what's going on, then he's not being accountable. What makes MOS a great coach, and one that players want to play for, is that he's accountable in private, and doesn't throw people under the bus publicly.

Exactly. 17 to 85 seems to have this erroneous reasoning that by keeping a Berry or Mack with the organization for a sufficient period of time it will bear fruit in the form of long-term success. In reality, patience will not be rewarded by tolerating mediocrity year after year - it will just result in more mediocrity. Every team in the league won't tolerate losing for very long (proven if you take the time to review each team's history) - they will fire the personnel responsible for the team's underachievement and move on to new coaching/management. The Bombers have been mediocre for so long because they have hired inexperienced/inept coaches and management the past decade plus. It has nothing to do with not showing adequate patience for the inept coaching/personnel. Which, I'd argue, we had no choice but to do because no qualified/experienced coach/manager wants to come here because we are a coaching graveyard that fires people constantly and shows zero patience...

Heard about TVMC last week...did some noodling around with it and it seems interesting. Lotta content...just a matter of getting a good stream.

I'm good with the whole 3 Year Plan thing. Gotta give these guys time continue building. With Drew Willy healthy and playing, this team is as good as anyone. I truly believe that.

Is this a spot Jasper Simmons fills full time? Or does it have to be another DB-type??

Hitting up Barley Bros. The gf and I are big craft brew people and there's some great happy hour specials. Good times!

I'm an Iso fan from message boards long ago, but if I still get that worked up about things as trivial as sports when I'm that age, then my life has gone horribly horribly wrong...

So is Barley Bros *the* place to watch away games? Curious if there's an official spot to go. Heading back from the lake today to watch the game and looking for a good spot in the city....

All of the monies...

I'd have no problem making Henoc the highest paid player on the team...

Glad it was at least to a East team, but whatever. Never really got the Lemon hype.

Remember when we all said this about Willy, Brohm and Marve?

Oooh. My nipples are hard.... Did I miss the Lemon signing? I was going to say the same thing. I don't remember us signing Lemon yet. Don't jump the gun guys.Also Brohm on and starting, with Marve being injured...

Biggest thing for me is that it tells the team "the season isn't over. We haven't given up, and neither should you..."
