. What does that say about Ricky Ray and his zero MOP awards in 12 years or so?

He wasn't available. He was protected. Teams could only protect one QB and there's no way the Stamps protected Tate over Mitchell. And if they had there's no way the RedBlacks would have taken Glenn over Mitchell. Mitchell was protected not Tate. The redblacks picked Glenn. I think Huff was hoping that Ottawa would take Tate instead of Glenn.

It's a shame how big of a disappointment he is with all these injures. Our offense was significantly better with a number one receiver in the lineup/

It was nice to see Cotton have a good game. The majority of us preferred him to Grigsby coming out of camp, including the Bombers coaching staff.

Of course. But with the Grey Cup here expectations are going to be higher than just being a .500 team whether or not that's fair.

I'm just hoping that the game is worth watching and not one where I'm contemplating going home at half time.

There's no way Tate fetches that kind of return. The max Tate gets you is the same first BC gave up for Glenn.

I'm a little surprised that Chad Anderson never got a shot.

I'm more concerned about Brohm proving himself to be a competent backup and not like other slugs around the league such as Sunseri and Beck. Looking decent in garbage time last week doesn't do much for me. I have a bad feeling that he's going to get eaten alive tonight.

That starting offense is all sorts of bad. What an ugly looking lineup.

We're going to get absolutely slaughtered even with Willy, it'll be extremely ugly with Brohm in the lineup.

This is correct. If correct, doesn't the same thing apply to Grigsby? We released Grigsby before the deadline.

January has been horrific this year and has zero trade value at this point in time.

Chad Simpson was extremely overrated.

We all knew that Canadian depth and the O-line were a work in progress and was at least a two or three year job. It's the lack of American depth that is particularly troubling to me.

Collaros and his slow release would get completely dismantled behind our line.

A team desperate for a back like Hamilton might take a flier on him.

I'm not sure Greaves is untouchable and that's despite our O-line being absolutely horrific. He hasn't progressed the way you would've hoped with Wylie as our OL coach. If we had an even somewhat decent line I think a guy like Greaves would be on the chopping block.

These are the guys from our current roster I'd want on our team next year in an ideal world. QB - Drew Willy, Robert Marve RB - Carl Volny, Carl Fitzgerald, Pontibrand WR/SB - Nick Moore, Clarence Denmark, Rory Kohlert, JFG, Brett Carter OL - Matthias Goossen, Steve Morley,Patty Neufeld, Chris Greaves, Gord Hinse DB - Chris Randle, Bruce Johnson, Johnny Sears, Maurice Leggett, Demond Washington, Matt Bucknor, Troy Stoudemire Donovan Alexander LB - Ian Wild, Desia Dunn, Teague Sherman(as a backup), Graig Newman, Derek Jones, Jesse Briggs DL - Bryant Turner, Zach Anderson, Jake Thomas, Jason Vega, Marvin Booker, Ryan Lucas. K - Lirim obviously. It may seem like a lot of guys, but with a lot of them being Canadian depth players it shows that we have a ton of holes. Every single import O-linemen we've played this year has been terrible. That spot needs to be upgraded in the worst way.

I find it interesting that he also re-tweeted this tweet at one point... Scott Linklater @at_the_links · Oct 13 @Nic_Grigsby5 u have nothing but class, #Bombers need more people like u and zero like @EJKUALE

This is a surprising one in my books, but this season is a lost cause and I didn't want Grigsby as our starter next year anyways so I don't have an issue with it.

We should hire Joe Mack as a scout.

Wow the Ticats really blew it. It's always nice to see Kent Austin lose.

It was an under the radar, very good signing. Graig Newman was thought of very highly by the Riders organization and was expected to start for them with the loss of Craig Butler. Newman wasn't a "sexy big splash" signing that's gets all the press, but was a very, very good move by Walters. Newman would have started for us this season. I'm not saying that it wasn't a good signing and I agree that Newman would start over Teague. But, he's a no name backup Canadian who wasn't going to start for the Riders even with Butler leaving. To say that he's a big name signing in the same stratosphere of Nick Moore is ridiculous. Wrong. Word out of Riderville is that Newman was going to start with Butler leaving. I agree Newman didn't have the "sexy" big name appeal like Nick Moore, but his impact/role with the team was expected to be significant. Nope Newman himself said that playing time was the main reason he choose to come to Winnipeg instead of staying in Sask. I doubt he leaves the Riders with all things being equal. Take a look at this article and quote from Newman http://www2.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/sports/story.html?id=34fe656b-7e7d-4ad1-9b4a-5edf1fa6b538 ''I think the Riders saw me as a special teams player whereas I saw myself as a defensive player''.
