M.O.A.B.

Honestly, not a terrible suggestion.  Jay Detain is at least durable enough to backup JFG and Kohlert.
 
I don't think I'm delusional enough to think we'd get Watman for Watson and a 3rd... I wouldn't deal my 6th OL for a chronic injury risk and a long shot (especially when I'm starting 4 NI's on the OL), but if Taman wants to do it, I wouldn't think twice about pulling that trigger.
 
Watson backing up Getzlaf, he'd never see the field.  And Sask doesn't have the NI depth at WR to start him.

We need to fixed that OL asap, Howard can't cut it plus the ratio adjustment we made last make our D weaker.
 
Personally, I'd like them to start Goossen on the C already  with Morley and Neufeld at guards. If not, I'll move Nefueld to LG, Morely at C, put Goossen at RG.
It could be earlier for Goossen but he's a pro now and he got the best OL coach he can get. He will be OK.
 
Or we need to pikcup an OL somewhere.

@danralphcp:
Rookie Anthony Coombs will make his first CFL start Saturday for Toronto against the Calgary Stampeders.
 
just saying

I don't think that will happen under O'shea's watch.

Man getting Randle was a shrewd move. Liked it at the time it went down and love it now. 

Alright, week 2 here we go.
 
Bombers are moving the chains a lot more than their opposition thus far. Through two games, Winnipeg has gained 51 first downs and opponents have only gained 36. Winnipeg has also done an awesome job of preventing their own lack of discipline from continuing drives. After two games, they've only handed out 2 first downs as a result of penalties.
 
To get a sense of how much teams are avoiding Chris Randle - he has 1 tackle so far this year through two games. Teams are not interested in throwing against him and are feeling much safer throwing to the other corner - Matt Bucknor has 13 tackles.
 
Chris Randle and Johnny Sears added a pass knockdown each last game - Randle now has more knockdowns (2) than tackles (1)
 
Demond Washington joins Teague Sherman as the only Bombers with tackles for a loss.
 
Net offense through 2 games - 794 yards.
 
I'll have more later.

They swapped Neufeld and Goosen later in the game last night. Neufeld moved at LG and Goosen at RG.

I'll probably ride the Grigsby wagon starting next week.

Man, 2 strikes in 2 weeks.

Bryant Turner has been away for a few days for the birth of his daughter. Mike O'Shea is very comfortable with Turner's time away. #Bombers

All this coming from guys who have yet to become fathers.   Sure the timing sucks but these things don't always happen when you want them to.  But if you've gone thru the whole birthing process you'd know it's not like in the old days when women would squat in the field and then go back to work.   
 
Maybe she had a caesarian section which makes it difficult for the mom to be the primary caregiver until she's had a chance to recover.  
 
So get off your high horses and let him deal with this very personal matter in the way he needs to. 

@Zontar... pls send my thank you to Austin for outbidding us for Collaros. Turn out it's a blessing for us.

This means, of course....that Aaron Woods will break out, next week....

Not taking anything away from anyone, and there's still one more game to play, but so far after three games it's no contest for OPOTW - Willy in a landslide

Some things never change... undisciplined bunch... that's Burke's D to you... good thing he's not with us now...
 
And just comparing what I've seen on the sidelines from Burke last year and O'shea last night... it's really night and day
While Burke was just staring on the field with the blank face... O'shea is constantly communicating with his assistants... pumping up his guys... and giving tap on their backs... that's a head coach you wanna play for...

Me thinks I gotta watch the game again tonight. No other football on so why not.

I haven't seen an ass whuppin' like this at home since Tom Clements was our qb & Willard Reaves was tearing it up for 1,600 yards a season back in the mid 80's. Looooooooong time comin'. And against Ray & Millanovich. Priceless.

Too early.

Just to hopefully eliminate any and all confusion going forward:
 
January 29 - Collaros released by Toronto.
January 30 - Collaros signs with Hamilton
January 30 - Burris released by Hamilton
February 4 - Burris signs with Ottawa
February 6 - Winnipeg trades for Willy's negotiating rights ahead of the February 15 free agency period
 
Not only were these 3 QBs not available at the same time, not even 2 of them were available at the same time.  They were pursued in the chronological order they came available, not in order of preference.
 
For some people to assume that Burris being released was obvious months ahead of it happening and was "the Bomber's second choice" is absurd.  Burris was property of Hamilton up until the moment they signed Collaros and chose to release Burris.  For the people who assume the Bombers would have ignored Collaros and Burris if Willy was their first choice, that is absurd.  That would be terrible management.  Willy re-signing with Saskatchewan or going to another team was always a possibility, and one that the Bombers had no control over.  For the Bombers to have done anything other than what they did would have been an offence worthy of Walters' unemployment.
 
That is not to say that it may not also have been in order of preference; only the Bomber braintrust will ever know for certain.
 
My take is that the Bombers wanted 2 of these guys and their preference was one of them to be Willy.  Burris' $ ask made that impossible.

Jamel #Richardson is in Calgary, but not for the #Als game. The Stamps would like to give him a contract. #CFL
 
 
... hmmm, they probably saw the benefit we got from bringing Romby here prior to the Argo's game...

It's really not his fault, you know. Milanovich made him take the DC job. I mean, who else would do it?

I can't work
 

 

 

 
 
Trying to work on Bombers gameday ?
 

 

 
 
but the truth is......
 
 
 
I just wanna go home
 

 

 

You're too quick to judge.
