  2. Buck Pierce traded for Akeem Foster

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    Jokes aside, I suspect that Foster asked for a trade and Buono is simply doing his friend Buck a solid. 

     

    Remember Buono released Buck years ago simply because he couldn't stay healthy .... what exactly has changed since then? I think Buck is done/cut/retired after the season is over.

     

    I'm going to miss Buck's potato chips though. 

  4. Beasts and Bums

    Beasts: Ford. Markett, Kelly, H. Muamba, Wild, Turner, Labbe, Washington, D-line

    Bums: J. Johnson, Suber, Watson, C. Muamba, O-line, Officials

    Watson: This guy is really annoying the hell outa me. First play on offense, he goes offside. Two plays later he is so soft on a ball thrown his way it leads to an easy INT. He finishes the game with 0 catches. What is the problem?

    Jovon Johnson: No patience left for this guy. For a small halfback he gambles way too much. Gambled on a pass thrown his way early and the ball easily sailed over his head to the receiver. Returning punts he fumbles way too much. The rest of the D bailed him out today. Talks the talk, can no longer walk the walk. Please trade this guy while we can get something for him.

    Suber: Like Johnson, too small, gambles too much. Can't stand the dreds flying around. Would like to see him gone too.

    C. Muamba: Does this guy have a clue out there? Constantly out of position chasing the play. D-line covered for him today.

    O-line: Yield 7 sacks. Offense has no time to develop plays. Can't open holes for running backs. Please, please, please fix this O-line and please do anything to get Boatman out of there!

    Ford: 98 yard kickoff return. First for Bombers since Stokes in 2004. Speed to burn! Love it!

    Markett: Was all over the field today making INTs and fumble recoveries. Loved his game today.

    H. Muamba: Did a fabulous job on Sheets. Would not yield anything inside the red zone all day. Durant will have nightmares. Couldn't ask for better. Sask 0 TDs today.

    Wild and Turner: Pressured Durant all game long. Splendid performance disrupting Sask's offense all around.

    Labbe: Solid blue-collar effort and forced a huge fumble from Durant. Fabulous game.

    D-line: Simply dominant today. Riders scored zero TDs. Pressured Durant all day.

    Honourable mention to Clarence Denmark. Looked like he was at least trying out there.

    Note to officials: Sask was holding flagrantly all game long on both sides of the ball, along the lines and in the secondary. When a player the caliber of Terrence Edwards complains about being held chances are, he is. With 2:40 left in the game, the offensive pass interference by Dressler was atrocious yet you threw no flag. Please look at some film. Also, the reason Kohlert may not have got his toe down inbounds, and I'm not sure he didn't, is because he was pushed out. Even with a review you couldn't get this call right.

    Goltz: You did some things well, some not so much. You pushed the ball upfield and helped to keep Sask's D honest. You threw the ball away when you had nothing. But you can't be fumbling like you did at the end of the game. If the game is closer that could have cost us the win.

     

    TIL Edwards gets held EVERY SINGLE PLAY

  17. Lions cut Elliot

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    I'm amused by how Goltz is praised for losing every game he has started despite bristling with mediocrity, excused for throwing interceptions, yet Elliot, who's actually WON games for the Bombers (throwing >400yds in the process), has 2 POTW awards and had a higher qb rating than ANY of our current qbs is nfg. His 'propensity to throw INT's in the red zone' is inexperience, forcing the ball, same thing as Goltz. That comes with more experience and coaching.

     

    Elliot obviously has an issue with attitude or whatever. But there is no disputing that he is a more productive quarterback at this point. Give the guy a football, a qb coach that will keep him on track, and I still think he's better than anything we have now.

    From the decision:

     

    "Williams signed a contract in the form prescribed by the collective agreement agreeing to play for the Respondent for the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The contract granted the Respondent an option to require him to play for a third year."

     

    The issue isn't that the Ticats tried to foist an extra year on him, it's that the contract was negotiated by an unregistered contract advisor, which was Williams choice. Also the letter sent to Williams notifying him that his option was picked up wasn't clear (i.e. it used big words). 

     

    Also just for interests sake, it noted that:

     

    "There was evidence that 50% of players use unregistered contract advisors to negotiate on their behalf."

     

    I suspect that is about to change.

    Okay, here's something to think about.

     

    Apparently, when a player goes in to his option year his contract expires by default unless his club informs him that they are extending that contact in terms that satisfy the CBA.  The judge ruled that the letter that the TiCats sent to Williams failed to do this.

     

    So, If the letter that Hamilton sent to Williams is their standard form letter that they use to tell players that they want to extend their contract then it would seem that all the Hamilton players who received that letter last Feb (including Hage and Dyakowski) are now playing without a contract and are actually free agents.

     

    You think we should point this out to Marcel?

     

    Oh please.
