M.O.A.B.

If Chris Jones goes to the Riders will OC Stephen McAdoo follow him? I would like the Bombers to make a play for him too.

Of course, the Esks interest is to keep him... but that's not necessarily Chris Jones' personal interest.

It looks like Hervey or Jones for the Esks. So if you're Len Rhodes... who do you keep?

I just hope this signing means we are moving Hurl or at least reconstruct his 6-digit contract. Another LB that I wish the Bombers will pursue (if he becomes freeagent) is Thomas Miles.

Well during the Kelly year he made it clear that Murphy had the database and had the list of guys to go after. Hence the napkin joke about Taman. After reading this article (from 2012 btw) I have no doubt that it was Murphy who found the talent in 2009. The database probably resides in his head; he seems to have some kind of photographic memory: http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Meet+John+Murphy+with+backup+plan/7521855/story.html The comment at the bottom of that article is depressing. In fairness though, Morris was said to be the same in terms of providing information about player(s). I think the key is which of these players fit the team's system which seems to be questionable in our scouting dept.

I get that. But leaks do happen especially with use of social-media. So if I'm Walters and I hear and comfirm that the club is talking to Hufnagel then I have to decide for the best of my interest too, so bye-bye Bombers... hello Guelph, that's just easy.

If you are 100% guaranteed that Huff will actually go here, then why not. It's a no-brainer, right? But if you cut your GM and HC and make a gamble and offer him the highest $$$ and he still end up with the other team... then you will be in a complete mess and the organization's reputation will be a lot worse than it is now.

I just wish that Sorensen stumbles again coming out of that tunnel like what he did on the IGF inaugural... ... that might lift the curse in IGF

I believe it was Mack who is responsible for bringing Crowton here.

I could be wrong but I got an impression that Andrew Harris doesn't like Cortez' offense.

Ian Rapoport ✔ @RapSheet College news: Search firms have contacted @BCLions coach Jeff Tedford, previously of #Cal, to gauge his interest in returning to college.

Tyler + Morrisey + pick or Stuart + Morrisey + pick for Hamonik + pick ?

My guess, Edmonton will fire Ed Hervey and promote Chris Jones as their GM.

Not any worse then it is now. Except he'd be a rookie GM and have more on his plate, and on a team with less talent. Jones have the Bombers numbers over the years since he became a DC in 2003, the only he hasn't win in a year was in 2007. The Bombers only won once against Chris Jones Def since 2010. Here's his record vs the Bombers. It will be huge since we will be playing the Riders 3x in a year. 2003 - MTL DC 2-0 2004 - MTL DC 2-0 2005 - MTL DC 1-1 2006 - MTL DC 2-1 2007 - MTL DC 0-3 2008 - CGY DC 1-1 2009 - CGY DC 1-1 2010 - CGY DC/Asst.HC/Asst.DirofPP 2-0 2011 - CGY DC/Asst.HC/Asst.DirofPP 2-0 2012 - TOR DC/Asst.HC/Asst.GM 2-1 2013 - TOR DC/Asst.HC/Asst.GM 3-0 2014 – EDM HC/DC 2-0 2015 - EDM HC/DC 2-0 And which of those teams was he rebuilding by himself? Jones has experience in personell and scouting. He will be a rookie in title only. And for sure, he will hire his assistants as well.

CFL News @CFL_News .@SUNMitchell on @hustlerlawless: "If Chris Jones is offered it (#Riders HC/GM), he's gone in a heartbeat to Regina." #CFL #Esks If this happens, it will be a really bad new for the Bombers.

Riders will be tough to retain most of those because of cap-mess created by Taman.

Chris Matthews, Nick Moore, Ryan Smith, Clarence Denmark, Rory Kohlert .. or Manny Arcenaux instead of Moore.

Agree. But with another early exit what's there to talk about except to look in the future and talk about the (1) new coaches, (2) free-agency and (3) next CFL draft.

I guess we don't have to worry of any Bomber players trying out for NFL this off-season.

I think Owens have regress. I would rather like the Bombers pursue Ryan Smith from the Riders.

Wouldn't really care to see Laing here. From what I see though, that's one long list of key free agents. Laing & Bilukidi in the interior DL would be a massive upgrade for the Bombers

Correct...but it also meant We Want Marcel Out (at least to me it did). Or... We Want Mike O'Shea ... back or fired... which ever camp you belong to.

Matthew Scianitti @TSNScianitti As #Argos close 2015 today, their pending FAs include Ray, Owens, Harris, Keeping, Foley, Laing , Cummings, Okpalaugo, Gabriel & Waters #CFL Those will be a nice additions for the Bombers.
