Blue-urns

We should have offered Bourke $250,000 though.

because that would have been stupid!

Gonna miss yah @NickMoore_1 y'all are building a pretty nice squad over there in the peg

We've added two Canadians, one of which will start, and very possible both will start. Rome wasn't build in a day, neither is a championship football team.

Well, if you sign Emry (who btw IMO is one of the most overrated players in the league) you are basically taking yourself out of the running for Henoc Muamba if he gets cut by the Colts during the CFL season.
 
I don't think the Bombers even contacted Emry.

So all those people who screamed bloody murder about the bombers leaving Dough Alert unprotected want to step forward now and admit that they over reacted?

So you'd prefer we didn't sign them at all? Or just sign them and not announce it? I don't get the negative spin on this. It just "is".

Simpson has chronic foot problems, plus he gave up on the team last season. I doubt we ever see him back.

I'd like to see Gilmore back just because I'm convinced he'd turn into a beast if he actually got some PT.

Great hustle guy, has a lot of confidence in his athleticism and sometimes he suffers for it. When he's on, he's an above average corner.
Oh and expect some stupid penalties.

I hope we are not so desperate for linebackers that we are looking at a rapidly aging player who was only barely good enough last year.

Hard to see where Ferri fits on our team, even without knowing what we have in the young imports we've signed.  We're covered at WIL, Banks is probably going to play SAM or some hybrid position that takes that spot, Ferri is no better at HB than the DB's we've already got.

I'd love it if we traded for him then flipped him over to Montreal to extend another middle finger to Desjardins.

but why would he even try to send a picture of desjardins to anyone?

Well, of course it did. Nobody is going to want to pay a high price for a guy when you have to keep an entire IT department handy in case he gets his phone hacked again.

Perfect situation to create with a well-connected veteran CFL player when you are relying on free agency to stock your roster.
 
I think the other managers around the league are laughing collectively, while Cohon and Hunt are face palming.

After reading through this thread, all signs point to that comment being comically uninformed rather than an attempt to ruffle feathers.

Jock Sanders would be a great add.  Bellefeuille knows how to use hybrid guys like him too...Thigpen, Corey Holmes.

The annual Hamilton signing of an import LB coming off a season-ending leg injury. 

And Walters and O'Shea deserve a lot of credit for bringing in these guys.  For as tough as it was to get a QB, showing that it was tough to make people think of Winnipeg as a favourable destination, we still landed several good players - even if we went about it by trade for some.  The Kohlert signing should get more love here too.  Everyone knew it was going to happen so maybe the lustre wore off but really, he was our most consistent Canadian receiver last year.  If we had signed a similar player in FA maybe it would have gotten more attention.
 
QB, WR, several DBs....not too shabby.

Denmark was the 2nd best rookie to Chris Williams in his first year then he started to suck until Gary Crowton was fired at which point he started to look good again... So to me Denmark was hampered by a poor OC moreso than anything. I think he will surprise some people this year. 

Curious as to why. He did everything he was asked last year considering the circumstances did he not?

Your fascination with the offensive line, coupled with the most random opinion ever regarding it really REALLY intrigues me.
 
You think a guy that couldn't crack the worst starting OL in the league was an UPGRADE in Winnipeg? And Andrew Jones?
 
I don't get it. I understand our OL isn't satisfactory, but this idea that you have where every lineman on any other team is an upgrade for no apparent reason baffles me.

I don't know if I'd say Moore is overrated.
 
He's a good receiver. I just don't know if you have to pay for good receivers.

Nick Moore isn't an elite #1 receiver unless he takes a quantum leap this off-season.  If Denmark is utilized like he was in the 2nd half of the season 2013 he's a 1200 yard receiver.  I'd say they are pretty comparable in terms of showing some good ability but being somewhat inconsistent in terms of production.  Denmark has better hands, Moore is a bigger target, both really good route runners.
 
I wonder if we are looking at Moore as a boundary WR to replace Matthews.  He really didn't do well at that spot in BC 2012 and finally grabbed a spot inside after they dealt Geroy.
 
That boundary WR spot is the one we need to fill.
