M.O.A.B.

worse comes to worse and the Bombers failed or chose not to re-sign all of their pending FA (including those on the PR) we are looking to fill up this holes... 1) field CB - Bucknor's been a surprise there, it woudlnt not be hard to replace it with an import but finding a non-import for it will be a challenge although Derek Jones may fit to play there we still need a depth 2) boundary HB - an import spot, I think it's not a big of a challenge to replace this. 3) MLB - we havent had a legit MLB anyways and Wild is more of a WIL, we need to upgrade this spot 4) SAM - Sherman can definitely play this spot although Sears, if healthy is definitely better, I remember we struggle to find a suitable player during Mack's time 5) DE - We haven't had that very good pass-rushers like we enjoyed from previous years (Hunt, Willis, Hall, etc...) we need to upgrade this spot although we have 12 players currently on the roster that listed on the DL (6 DE, 6 DT) 6) LT or RT - this will be a huge challenge, I assume Daniels will fill up either spot 7) weakside WR - i hope we will be able to bring Matthews back 8) NI starter(s) on D - I assume 3 OL and 2 receivers will be the norm on offense that will left 2 NI starter spot on D, Thomas and Sherman might be a solid contributor but we will definitely need an upgrade and depth. as I said, that will be the holes if the Bombers fails to resign the FAs but of course the Bombers should be looking to upgrade every position\

For the first time since 2009 (except maybe 2011) we dont have a gong-show or circus. --- PROGRESS. We are not the laughing stock of the league anymore. --- PROGRESS.

Willy is the #1 coming to next year's TC.... but Marve will definitely give him a strong competition for that spot. From here on Brohm and Portish is out of the conversation since we dont know what are their plans and the Bombers plan for them.

for me.... MUST SIGN: CB Matt Bucknor - good surprise for us this year plus an NI starter DT Zach Anderson LB Johnny Sears LB Ian Wild DB Demond Washington - I'm expecting him to test freeagency though OL Glenn January or OL Devin Tyler - plan B as TBurg said, Tyler is a cheaper though DONT CARE: QB Brian Brohm - can bring to TC to compete with Marve, loser goes home QB Josh Portis - not sure of him but if we have a better neg lister coming in then he goes DB Desia Dunn - I liked his play in SAM 2yrs ago not so much in WIL, If Sears resigns he can go RB Carl Volny - not very productive, but I question our past OCs how is he being used, we can do better though NEED TO GO: WR Aaron Kelly - not that good WR Romby Bryant - washed out LB Rene Stephan - injury prone OL Gord Hinse - we can do better LB Mike Cornell - we can do better

I'm hoping to see Marve starts. Well, just give Willy the 1st half, 2nd half for Marve and Portish the short yardage and the last 2-3 O series in the 4th.

Wow. That'll do it everytime when you only look to your first read. I wonder why he stopped progressing to the other reads? He's probably affected by the 2 INT

anybody know if Stephen Alli have any interest in playing in the CFL ?

2-3 yrs down the road after their rookie contract is done, the OLs we picked up will just go to free agency and chose to play close to home. I'll say spend the 2nd overall to Demski and pick an OL on the succeeding round.

we may see a lot of roster moves this week and i wouldnt be surprised if we see the like of gibson given a chance to play this. this will be our last game of the season, i dont know how it works now that we have a bye on the last regular week but in previous years we on the active or on ir players we intend to keep/invited for next year. iirc, players who finish the season on the pr are automatically freeagents.

So by my count, We still have all of our 7 picks plus a 4th rounder from Riders on Alex Hall trade Although we have pending conditional trades with - Ticats for Brian Brohm - Argos for Josh Portish I say pick Demski 2nd overall then pick OLs on the following 2 rounds. Danny Groulx, Alex Mateas, Jacoby Ruby, Sukh Chung may not be available after 1st round Dillon Guy, Sean McEwen, Karl Lavoie may be avaialble on the second.

I'm a Demski fan and now hoping Walters will make him our first pick. I was a fan of Coombs and Gill. Hmmm... Can we trade Watson to Ticats for Gill rights? I'm such a homer.

I'll watch how Grigsby will fit on his new team's system. I do wish him well and hope they will keep him up to the Bombers first meeting with the Ticats next season.

I would bet that almost every running back in the league is somewhat banged up at this point, and the Stamps have first place pretty much sewn up, so why not give Cornish some downtime to heal? He only need half of a game against the Bombers to get a production that is 2 games worth for other CFL teams RBs.

That's a pretty strong sign that you need to get a life.Nope. It's called being a diehard football fan. Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey Good bye. (Everybody now) Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey Good bye.

Jamie Nye ‏@jamienye 1h1 hour ago #Riders also place Darian Durant back on the 6-game injured list. any parting word Migs?

They had Meggett and released him And they have Kevin Smith on TC also. Meggett signed in NFL after he was released I guess that's the reason of his release. Kevin Smith has legit reason too. Both are FA now.

I'll be happy to see Kelly and Bryant not dressed on the final game of the season.

Like the fact that he's hard to bring down.

How long is his contract with TSN? If he will be back into coaching will he accept a coordinator role? or he will pursue a HC role only? For me if Lapo is available and willing, I wouldn't mind to see him here.

I like him. Rumor is Milanovich wont re-up in Tor I think Popp will scoop him up and we may see Burke tagging along with him. If that's the case I'll be interested with Thorpe too. In house, Tracy may be a good candidate for DC and I want Oshea took over the ST. For OC, I am interested with Bob Dyce. Tracy's special teams have been horrible all year. Why should he get a promotion? He can go back to the CIS as far as I'm concerned. I dont regard STC any lower than the DC or OC. Granted ST takes fewer snaps on the field but they are equally important group of the football team. Plus some of the STC are Asst HC of their teams like C Dickenson and Walters before. For me it's not a promotion. Would O'shea be a good DC? Would Burke will be a good STC? Would C.Dickenson be a good DC? I'm not sure what would be the answer to that, who knows. It doesn't mean because you are not good ST coordinator you will not be a good DC coordinator? Sometimes people are more suited to a different position than they are currently holding.

If the Stamps rest their starter against us (in Calgary) don't you think they'll do the same for their last game in the season... against who? Oh shoot the Lions.

i find it weird how he rans but he can find the holes and breakthrough so im good with that.
