No it doesn't. However, I think we can all agree that our scouting network needs improvement.

Don't ever let Taman anywhere near your SMS, but he is a proven talent evaluator.

No one is suggesting that Taman be given the keys to the franchise. Taman is very good at evaluating receivers, running backs, and DL. Sign him up as a scout and work his strengths. Let McManus et al do their thing which appears to be secondary, OLB, and OL. Right now what we are lacking in our scouting department seems to be a good fit for Taman. That's all I'm saying. Barker too, is a good talent evaluator for QBs and receivers. They're unemployed let them turn over some stones for us, they have a massive network of connections down South.

The Bomber scouting and Kyle Walters seem to be incapable of finding/recognizing receiver, LBer, and QB talent. It's time for some new scouting. With Smith on the shelf for the foreseeable future in the scouting dept, it may be time to lure a top scout away from another team or find a place maybe for Jim Barker, Brendan Taman, or someone in a purely talent evaluation role. Walters brings a lot to like to the table, but his talent evaluation is not on par with other CFL GMs.

I don't think he would. I think he is punishing DC by taking him off the offence and this Redskins rumor is coming from Carter's camp to try and end his banishment.

The only FA tailback that might intrigue me right now is Shakir Bell.

Yea. There are no futures contracts in the CFL.

They loved his pick 6. Why wouldn't they. Everyone loved him in Montreal too....until he was cut and the truth came out. I honestly hope the Riders do sign him because he will cost them a fortune and he is, and always will be, a ticking time bomb to any dressing room he is a part of.

Sure does...but he's locker room cancer. It's why Jones will not pursue him hard in the offseason imo.

Money is going to be a massive issue for Jones next year. Half his team is coming off their rookie contracts.

Why would you assume that. About the only thing one can assume with DC is that he is wildly unpredictable. Whether he signs with the Riders or not will depend on which way the wind is blowing on that particular day.

Nobody will. The guy is still a major league head case.

Just as other teams look at our Heath, Randle, or Leggett and wonder the same thing. I get that Hurl is not an all star but the decision to play him allows us to afford and play other all stars.

Luckily, our offence is built to be able to withstand injuries in our receiving corps better than pretty much any other team. A Lapo offence asks only that you be competent and assignment sound. We are not a run and gun offence like Sask and BC.

When the weather turns ice cold we can put a NAT at FC imo.

Might be a safe bet.

You guys and your logic. MOS NEVER changes the lineup EVER. Except when he does...and that doesn't count.

It's a flesh wound, it's not a bone or connective tissue injury. There really is no further risk. If he can handle the pain and it's not affecting his ability to throw you gotta play him.

He has already shown more than Addison Richards.

I would think that even if an ex-HC decided he would weigh in on the Bombers that he would come up with a much more thoughtful, accurate, and insightful post than that. I know it's Mike Kelly, we're talking about, but that post is just throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. Even someone as awful as Kelly was, would give a much better and in depth synopsis than that.

I highly doubt that any ex-HC, even a boneheaded one like Kelly, would make comments like the ones made by the OP. Even Kelly wouldn't tear down a guy like Wolitarsky, or make commentary about players he's never coached. This is not Mike Kelly people...no matter how stupidly he tries to imitate him.

Our last game is against Calgary, the Bombers will not sit anyone unless they are nicked up. They will want to deliver a message going into the playoffs.

This was a recommendation made by Michael Bailey of the US Department of Homeland Security, prior to Grey Cup 2015 when he was in town to train Police forces for Grey Cup week. Surprised it took so long.

Andrew Harris is a pretty safe bet.
