He could be the next Jhurell Pressley!

I like your attitude, when you see a cheap shot, TAKE IT!!!

Im so jealous.

[Back Up QB]

Here's to both Ross and Streveler developing into quality QBs. I've moved on from the Durant issue - just wish we could get the cap space back.

Just now, Mike said:

Ruthless.

Very much so.  I'm upset at Durant but sometimes you can hardly blame players when they fall victim to this.

[2018 CFL Draft]

Even more excited to see Simonise compete now. I don't care what Mike Kelly says, our Canadian depth coming into the draft was strong.  I'll also be curios to see how long Geoff Grey lasts in Cleveland.

[2018 CFL Draft]

I just found out from the FP that Coates broke his foot while training prior to the draft.  There is the big reason so many WRs were taken.

Did we actually trade down from #7 to #12 & pass on some promising OL to draft Simonise? That I don't get. Especially with the players we have now at the receiver positions. 

We did need depth behind the three top cdn WRs.  Might have gone a little overboard, though.

You can’t have too much National depth on your roster

At what price?  Doubt Fantuz would come cheap.

I wonder if Fantuz still wants to play.  He's a type of receiver we don't really have.

I would rather Wolitarsky get playing time.  Not a lot different size wise from Fantuz.

Absolutely tragic for all involved.  Thoughts and support to their family & friends.

Muamba is a good player, but is he reliable? Been a mercenary the whole time, not sure that's the guy you make changes to your roster for. 

That's how I see it.  A good player but will move on for the biggest paycheque.

[So who won free agency?]

I dunno who won, but I know who lost, the Riders. 

Please, please, please.  Riderfans assures us every year they win free agency.  We shouldn't even be debating this if you read their website.

I can understand that but these signings were expected, I think.

You sign them as you get their signatures on the line. It's not a linear process.

That being said, we've certainly secured our O for 2018 but that wasn't a weakness.

Opposition wont be touching the ball in 2018!!!!

Riders release Derek Dennis.

Can't be true.  Posters on Riderfans assured us Dennis was their "lock-down" left tackle!!!!

Can’t wait til free agency. Are both Coombs and Demski free agents?

Pretty sure Coombs isn't, but Demski is.

Idiotic play call . Arrogance, hubris . Direct reflection of coach and qb

Last year BLM wanted the ball in his hands at the end of the game.  This year he had that exact scenario  and look at the result.

i guess stupid didn't leave the province of Alberta.

Good for you Bluto.  So glad they beat the Riders .  I couldn't handle that fan base as it is, much less if they were in the GC.

If he admits that he thought its was 6 point deficit then he is a fool

If he admits that it will go down as possibly the most bone headed play, coaching or playing, in CFL history.

[Edmonton @ Calgary]

Agreed ! The only thing I can think of is that Maas thought it was a 6 point difference not 7. And if so he needs to step aside if you can not even remember the dang score.

This is the only explanation.  Mind numbingly stupid decision.

[Blue Bomber Free Agent List]

I would also try my best to get 2 Canadian receivers as a regular feature too. We don't have good enough American receivers to justify it so might as well get ratio spot fillers there. 

Agree again.  I would re-sign Dressler and JFG and then make a push for Eric Rogers to replace Denmark.  In my dreams I would like to see a starting 5 at receiver of :

Adams, Dressler, Rogers, Wolitarsky, JFG/Coates (share the spot).

I know I'm probably harping a little too much on Wolitarsky, but I honestly think he Jhansi the potential to be our version of Zylstra.

[Edmonton Eski-dolts @ Regina Ridirts: Who Do We Want?]

Hard to believe that one of the two best teams in the league lost at home to the Esks!  

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Never change riderfans. That site can be a source  of great amusement.

[Adams gone for rest of regular season]

I read this morning that Chris Givens was taking ( or is it given) some first team reps so maybe  we will see him over Lankford or Washington.

[Bombers @ Argos: Dressler Return? + Lapo Must Call Deep Balls To Non-Lankfords Edition]

Brandon Zylstra is a remarkable receiver for the Edmonton Eskimos. He’s extremely dangerous and Mike Reilly knows when to look for him. He’s a difference maker in any one game he plays. 

Why do I bring up Zylstra? Because, Weston Dressler can be our Zylstra. He’s that good. All’s we have to do is use him. Not only will that free up our passing game, but Harris would feel the positive effects also. A win-win, in my books..

I hope Weston has that positive impact.  However I am going to harp on this:  Drew Wolitarsky can be our version of Zylstra.  It was about this time last year that Zylstra was activated for the first time by the Esks.  He had a great end of season run and has become a top notch WR this year.  Hopefully we can at least try him out the remainder of this year (split reps with JFG and Coates) to see if can help us get to the GC.

[Kittens vs Bombers GDT]

Why not Wolitarsky?  Bombers need a medium range possession receiver badly.  Time to take the training wheels off and see what he can do.

[Who has the better team: Calgary or Winnipeg?]

If the Bombers can make it to the Western Final, I won't be disappointed in this season.  Hopefully they address the LB weakness in the off-season and add a few more key pieces.

I agree.  Until the Bombers can beat Calgary in a meaningful game the Stamps are the better team.  Their defence is far  and away the best in the CFL.
