Brohm re-signs with Bombers
I like both Brohm and Marve. Portis has no game experience so I would prefer to have 2 guys ahead of him who have shown they can play. Every team carries 4 or 5 QBs through the season now so IMO signing Brohm would be a smart move.

Evander Kane & Bogo Traded to Buffalo
Great read keep it going

Game 58 : Jets @ Red Wings
Chiarot could be playing on the left side for us for a long time.

Do we make 3rd place?
Every team has changed. As much as we want to believe it, we can't just say 6 wins plus Stanley Bryant = playoffs. We also can't say 9 wins minus Ben Heenan = a bad season for the Riders. IMO Calgary and Edmonton will be the class of the league again. Between Sask, BC, and Winnipeg, its a toss up. It's going to be a very competitive season and the Bombers won't be handed anything.

Game 58 : Jets @ Red Wings
I was surprised at Myers' top end speed that he showed on the Wheeler goal. Didn't realize he had that in him.

Steve Morley
Ya LeFors only played in 3.5 games in 2009 and Bishop couldn't run. Good try though.

Anyone still think we're going with Royal Blue Jerseys this season?
I prefer "Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!"

It does.

How the mighty have fallen ...
Swiston had a lot more success at the collegiate level (Canada West lineman of the year, Canada West all star, CIS second team all star) but has had about the same amount of professional success as Tyson Pencer, which is to say not much. But at least he is still employed.

Steve Morley
You're right. Funny to think about it now, but Morley was our starting LT for the entire 2009 season when they allowed the fewest sacks in the league.

Barron Miles to join coaching staff
Obviously Richie Hall is comfortable with Miles. I wouldn't put too much stock into what Rider fans say.

Steve Morley
Hope they can get something for him but wouldn't count on it. Either way, his days as a Bomber are pretty much over. 2009-2014 Blue Bomber OL is the January Morley era.

Walters on 1290 now
I'm interested to see how Newman fits in now. Remember he left Saskatchewan because he wanted more playing time and they weren't going to give it to him. Of course Hall was the coordinator at the time. Two different teams and obviously different situations but I'm curious to see how Hall will use him. I could see Hurl grabbing a starting LB job and eating up most of the reps as our second Canadian on defence. I don't think Hall will be able to resist the prospect of having Turner and Anderson on the field together for most of the game, so Thomas will see less time this year.

Evander Kane & Bogo Traded to Buffalo
Claude Lemieux is also one of the greatest playoff performers of all time. 4 Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe to go along with them. Think of a 3rd line guy who all of a sudden turns into a goal per game guy when the playoffs start.

Evander Kane & Bogo Traded to Buffalo
Craig Button would know! Where are all these prospects going to fit in? great problem to have. We're still at the point that we desperately need more pro-aged prospects in the system. Look at how it is right now... there are basically no realistic call-up options in St. John's, especially at forward. Plenty of room for more good young players in the organization still.

Evander Kane & Bogo Traded to Buffalo
Not a huge fan of moving out Bogo at this point in the season but I do like the trade overall.

Evander Kane & Bogo Traded to Buffalo
Biggest blockbuster I've seen in quite some time. We lose two very good but controversial players and pick up some very interesting pieces. Curious to see how this plays out.

Free agency news
Geeze Louise...Ottawa has improved their receiving corps. by about 3000 percent. Let's see if Ellingson and Price can stay healthy. And I don't love the Sinopoli signing. They are still weak at Canadian receiver.

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
Good chance we can draft a top defensive tackle. Not gonna happen in free agency though, unless someone gets released. Hamilton and Ottawa both have more Canadian DL than they can use, IMO.

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
I'd still like to see us sign Curran or Peters, along with Brohm and Sears.

Game 56: Wild @ Jets
Big Buff. My goodness. Is there anything he can't do?

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
They call him "Rogers" in the press release lol... http://www.bluebombers.com/article/Bombers-Sign-OL-Stanley-Bryant

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
I could see the Bombers looking for a little more experience at backup. But yeah, I think Lefevour will end up in BC or Ottawa.

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown

Bombers sign LB Hurl, WR Adams, OL Bryant & Dile, DL Brown
Do we think the Bombers are done? Or might there be a couple more signings? Any predictions?
