M.O.A.B.

Washignton to McGill HC gig... Benevides to Riders DC gig... what else is new... I guess we're stuck to Etch D for another year... oh well... move on nothing to see here...

Nebraska: As part of his bonus structure, Mike Riley will receive: $150,000 for appearing in a bowl game (not included as part of College Football Playoff) with the Huskers, $250,000 for appearing in any College Football Playoff Bowl game, $300,000 for appearing in the College Football Playoff semi-final game, $350,000 for appearing the College Football Playoff National Championship, and $650,000 for winning the College Football Playoff National Championship game.

BC Lions (Canada): The BC Lions are leaning towards hiring Jeff Tedford as their new head coach, according to Sportsnet.ca. Tedford, the former Cal head coach and Tampa Bay offensive coordinator, is a former CFL quarterback. http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/

How about Danny Barrett for OC?

Congrats DoD! Great red zone D and stopping the BigC to score a TD.

Question is... who else is available ?

Not sticking up for Banks here but its a good idea to look at it from both ways.... Sure Leggett and Anderson re-upped and may have no prob with Etch. Maybe they had no questions and just followed along. But Banks as a leader and vet may have felt he had questions about things that maybe rookies might of asked him and he wanted to have answers and help. I'm under the impression Korey Banks was brought here…for that exact reason..for the experience and passing on veteran knowledge. Seems like a no-brainer. But somewhere, somehow, things went astray, and we only have KB's version of his "asked-a-question-things-went-sideways-they-don't-respect-me-things-went-to-hell" story. I'd back Banks up on his account, if I could believe his version of on-line moans and his line of credibility, but it seems it's not the first time he has "trashed" a former employer. He is right about one thing though…he's done with football. two things actually... Etch is a clown.

At that point last year... no one is available... and the others doesnt wants to come here. I can't fault them for that. Now the Bombers have some options and it's still early, if he sticks with Etch the onus is on O'Shea.

If O'Shea really wants Washington to be his DC, him and/or Walters should asked permission from Buono to talk to Washington, if necessary, add the title of the Assistant HC to make it as a legitimate move (promotion and not lateral). I don't think they need to wait until the BC HC issue settles.

Well, he probably mean winning the Grey Cup. I hope we win it next year so we can re-visit what he said and stuck it on his face.

With 17 OL FAs on that list the Bombers could sign a starting Oline...... Baillargeon Eppele Holmes Krausnick-Groh King Dile O'neill Wojt Rogers Hinse Knapp Tyler Heenan Bryant Harrison Jones O'Donnell Ok maybe not all starters but Jones, Heenan, Eppele, Wojt, AKG, Holmes etc would all look good Get Heenan and Holmes / O'Donell.

Jordan Sisco's numbers are pretty comparable to Brett Carter but Carter can stay healthy for 18 games. I think it's better to just re-sign Brett Carter instead.

WHO'S FREE? A look at RedBlacks players eligible for free agency as of Feb. 10 Dobson Collins, WR. Caught 29 passes for RedBlacks in a limited role. Could return. Joe Eppele, OL. Training-camp injury wiped out season. Won't be back and may retire. Moton Hopkins, DL. Played well when given a chance. Had NFL workout with Vikings Tuesday. Jason Pottinger, LB. Special teams captain. Starting out on business career, likely to retire. Alex Krausnick, OL. Versatile, can play centre, move around on line. Caught a pass. Should be brought back. Jonathan Williams, RB. Was an offensive player of the week, but knee injury wrecked his season and may delay his start to next season. Wallace Miles WR. Caught 50 passes, but dropped too many. Could be brought back. http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/12/09/redblacks-gm-marcel-desjardins-could-go-after-some-big-names-in-free-agency

The thing to keep in mind is that the rankings mean very little going forward until the draft. People will use them as law in discussions on forums, but the reality of the situation is this list is formed by the rankings submitted by the nine front offices in the CFL and teams are going to be deceptive with a purpose as we get closer to draft day. Yep. But if the Bombers are hoping to have an OL that is comparable to the Als, the Stamps and the Riders, I think this pool is the best chance to expedite that process. A couple of top picks OL combined with a stud OL picked up in the free agency, I think it's not impossible for the team to field 5 national OL next year.

I think, I'm starting to fade away from Demski as my #2 overall choice.

Who among those top 20 have a realistic chance to have a NFL tryouts ?

The players who ended up on their teams PR, they are technically free-agents, correct? Can any team sign them prior to the Feb 10 deadline? Or is there a 'gentleman agreement' among GMs not to touch them prior to that date?

I can't see Chapdelaine leaving SFU for an OC job. Is that you, Jacques?

I hope they relieve Bob Dyce so the Bombers can scoop him back.

I'm not sure if Benevides-Chapdelain reunion will happen for the Riders. LaPolice might wait until what will happen to the BC HC opening. If he wins it, he might have an instant-DC in Ritchie Hall.

In a coaching role, hasn't he just been with the Riders and Eskies? I think a change of scenery would do him/us good, i.e., Bombers. Yeah I suppose bouncing around wasn't the correct term. He went from the Riders to the Esks to the Riders. He does have 3 GCs in that time period. His wiki page says retired......hummm Retired as a player. He was a DB and punt returner for the Riders.

I got a feeling O'shea is just waiting for Mark Washington to be available. So it will be Washington or else he will just stick with Etch.

Signed thru 2017. Just like Paddy Neufeld. Wow!

An insider told me he saw Etch kneeling in the corner of his room and hear saying these words... "Lord, please don't let me Richie Hall'ed again. Thank you."

As I recall, Williams plays the wideout when he was in the CFL while Denmark and Moore are both slotbacks. We have an opening for a wideout since we need an upgrade for Kelly and Bryant.
