u have zero clue what u natter about at the best of times...let alone this...shhhh rtio has been nshrinking for decades...if anything the game over all is better....no?....and if isnt...why u still watch?
-
the rules are what make it great...not who's under the helmet...and the best available players would make it even better....talent/competition wise....If they were all American....all Japanese...all Mexican....all white...blck...combo of all nations....and played in Canada....under the same rules...in same stadiums....wouldn't bother me one bit....If it was all Canadian tho...I'd watch...to a point....but would not pay the money I do now when attending for a sub par product....I could watch Junioor or Canadian University for that....for a fraction of the price...BTW...I was born in Canada and lived here till about 16....and moved back when I entered the work force...So i'm not some Anti-Canadian basher

2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
Booch replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I can\'t see any player wearing one in game to be honest...it one thing with no contact these days in practice...game is totally different, and in scrums...big collisions etc....do they come flying off?...get re-arranged on a guys helmet and block his sight?...will they be litterd all over field much like a helmet now...and need to be put back on..delaying a game or having a guy have to come off?.... -
I hope thats a tongue in cheek joke/sarcasm.....lets call it less talented then
-
You dont get it....due to ratio to fill out the roster....many many inferior Canadians get role jobs as oppsoed to Americans...so if say an LB has a opp to compete for a job....but doesn't get it say due to another American they go with...he has no hope to make the roster on teams and try and earn a spot in practice.... the ST lb's filling out the roster will be inferior Canadians...who aren't good enough to be a Canadian starter...so guys won't come due to that...a lot of times as well they may be better than a projected Canadian Starter....but again.....won't get the job because there just isnt enough starter quality Canadians on some rosters to change your ratio...Guys careers are short as it is, and for a U.S guy to come up here, already behind the 8-ball due to ratio and risk catastrophic injury with really next to no chance to make it...they decline the offer....doubt me if you wish....but these are facts...and has happened a ton
-
I know for a fact we have had guys not come up here....so yeah we lost out...
-
true....and on the flipside we lose out on a ton of really good talent too for those same reasons....Players agents will fill them in on thE situation, and what they up against, also players talk and have conveyed to buddies that they got cut as an inferior player was used (ratio reason) , and to not waste their time, or risk injury....
-
whats the tweets other than the thing with McAfferty speed comparison?
-
Love all 3 our first picks....and we got what we want character wise....but aso scored big time on physical attributes and huge upside to contribute...and actually contribute now
-
I don't put much thought into what the media says....
-
exactly...and in games more times than not he got abused on any move..stunt...if he wasnt involved on a chip or 50 block...he was a weak spot...and cant count how many times he just got bull rushed into the pocket...
-
been saying all along...Chris Smith....learn the name....guy has the skill set to be an impact guy in the CFL....Crazy returner and bust it speed at the RB spot.....Kolo getting owned...flailing like usual....If Eli isn't manning center something is seriously wrong with our coaching staff....put the best guys on the field... 100 percent....I have the sick feeling same is gonna happen on oline with Kolo...I think it time for my to go Tanya Harding on Thomas..Kolo and Schpackel to eliminate them out of the equation....Schpackel owning Kolo prob just secued his roster spot sadly over someone like Kelly...or Charbaneau
-
Yeah....JA isn't going anywhere...he has become a valuable foot soldier....Cutting him on roster for whom?....makes zero sense MCI was the smartest pick of our draft as it finally allows us to roster an impactful DI on defence now, and have a fullback who is an actual threat out of the backfield, as well be a key piece in a grind em out drive in 4th qi=uarter working with BO Interesting to hear Osh's comments re: Fox, and highlightiong all the traits he brings in the middle..most of which we were lacking last year...He didn't miracously learn that the last 4 months of the off-season...was there already in B.C....and just an example of a wasted opportunity, and a guy stuck behind another player in the reward system...or the we gotta play a pointless fullback
-
top 40 time too
-
I'm on that hill as well....and looking at a couple other lil mounds of crappolla too lol If Biggie is actually healthy....as I know for a fact last year he played all yr banged up....and then the Grey Cup Fiasco...he should be very serviceable if we actually roster rotation pieces...Really hope Moses steps up and shows a lot on teams, and grabs that DI spot Cole had last year, and is allowed to take reps on defence and learn from Biggie and Wilon while he terrorizes on teams...If he is 100 percent healthy I can see him being a long term answer there...Don't sleep on Ayers either Cole needs to be in the starting lineup taking 80% of reps somewhere....and I hope it's at SAM as that where he will make most impact...BA if actuallyb healthy, and used as I think Younger is going to use his safety this year will be just fine...Tho I would really like Holm there and BA the swing guy taking reps all over tha back 7... If Ford steps in and takes a spot...even better as gives us tons of flex with different fronts we can show, and ways to use some playmakers...thats if we only declare 1 actual starter on defence being Canadian...which I am pretty certain we will do....will be interesting who is where...and I expect a surprise cut this yr as well on ndefence...and early too
-
thats actually crazy eh? U just need to jump in....be real....and dont waver...flip flop and look like a weakling lol....in the end its all in good fun and the discussion here...I hold no grudges....or dislikres...I stick to my oponions and what I like/want and take on all discussooin...whether supportive or challenging...it all good
-
and calling each other names too haha
-
Kramdi doesnt have the skill set...his growth is peaked/minimal....Fox doesnt need to grow...he needs to play...should have already, unless someone else blows his pants off and thats a good thing then as we are in even better shape...Its not about growth...its about talent to do it now at a better level....and get better...u can grow on the PR or as a back-up...behind the better player...and maybe one day if you eat your vitamin and say your prayers u will surpass daddy's favorite yeah...the better one...one who earns his spot...one who deserves it wrong...Jackson was a Yank...I could give an **** where a guy comes from...it's about putting best player out there...recruiting for it and not settling or standing pat
-
doesnt matter where a guy comes from the bud...nor does a talent ebvaluator care or use as his decison criteria..with that narrative Sheed should never amounted to anything....I've seen all the guys ball I have mentioned...at pro....some at amatuer level....several in off-season training facilities....thats what I base my opinions on....mine....not yours, not his....and I dont glom on a media story based off a comment a coach makes and run with it.
-
No Mike Kelly.......Yeah Jake Kelly....way more upside than both...already a better ST player...maybe on Par with Hallett....but thats his (Hallett's) ceiling....way better cover skills than Hallett too....wtf shark u yammering about? Never said cut Holm either....but he not the best option we could have at HB....But he is our best option for Safety tho and I bet its not even close....would love him to be there TBH
-
I didnt play into 2010....dork lol
-
He was just being nice and not saying "talk like a dork" lol
-
not sure why we keep bringing the other Hallett back...several major injuries...with major surgery and major rehab...will never be what he was...or reach whatever potential he had...wasted roster spot in camp right now....and i am certain he will be in the tub yet again if they wanna start 2 Canadians on defence I'd prefer they start Kelly there to be honest, and DI Alexander as the jack of all trades guy for rotation...leadershio and injury, or if someone is having lunch handed to them....He can cover all the DB spots if need be...I'm sure could slide to Wilson's spot, if need be. People ask why is Kramdi dogged so much, but will dog BA...many don't see some of the "losing a step/not the same) criticism was them having him play some stupid Hybrid role that just didnt work, and part of it he wasn't 100percent either but gutted it out none the less...be intwresting if he has shed the brace this yr...if he still needs it...or feels he does...then I'd almost move on and slide Holmsie to safety and have a diffrent HB
-
doesnt cut it....not in my books....and If Cole is rightfully earned and given that spot....and the true actual opportunity, as well as Fox at tackle....and one of Garbutt or Haba rotating at end....you will clearly see the "why the eff were they not allowed to play last yr" thing going down....and really....From Darby to Kramdi...there was no difference in the defence...was more a teachers pet situ...Draby fell out of favour for whatever reason but was no way a liability like people are saying Kramdi wasn't yeah he is being paid large dinaro to be the worst Dime in league...if he's gifted it....again
