LB preview https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/04/24/positional-preview-3-the-linebackers-2/ Not a lot of fresh talent here. Hope the couple guys brought in are good because Biggie is on the downslope. DB preview from yesterday too https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/04/23/positional-preview-2-the-defensive-backs/ Offense lost but the D still allowed Cody @$%!ing Fajardo to put up 3 TDs on them. Almost like it is a team game or something and not all the blame can be put on one player.

Probably not in the budget to pay Castillo and Legghio. Don't know how much Legghio made last year but it was more than a global.

Tait is back with positional previews ahead of the drafts. https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/04/22/positional-preview-1-the-specialists-2/ Not sounding like Janarion is in the plans for the team.

Speaking of him just happened upon this article about him coming here https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/apr/17/northern-exposure-former-eastern-washington-quarte/ Looking forward to seeing what he can do up here.

Thanks guys for rescuing this thread! Time to get excited for camp where we hear one good thing about a guy and then can imagine him being an all-star! Can't wait!

Thanks for this great summary. I wish there were more games from this era available to re-watch. Fuzzy memories from 20+ years ago just aren't the same for me.

Or basically anything on the main page here: https://www.cfl.ca/

That's one thing I love about the CFL. You never know who from the long list of off-season signings will be an all-star.

RIP Dave. I became a hardcore fan watching those 2000 - 2004 bombers.

Fair enough. He does like to hold on to the ball to make the big play. Taking more hits can lead to hesitating and taking even more hits.

Every QB gets hit sometimes, some more than others. Gotta keep it as low as possible. What I meant was it wasn't time catching up to Collaros, it was the number of hits he took last year that was the issue.

Keep him clean and it won't be an issue.

That makes a lot of sense to me too. Easier to sign for less now when you have the chance to show that you can take over for the old guy over the next couple years.

Even worse since we're a couple months into 2024 now!

Yup and those kick chasers haven't even looked that great at chasing kicks.

Won't somebody please think of the precious reputations of Chad Kelly and John Murphy

Damn that still hurts 19 years later

Nah jokes are funny. That's just hacky sexist bullshit.

Can't ever fault a guy for trying to get paid for the job he's doing.

Presumption of innocent until proven guilty is for the courts. The rest of us are free to presume Kelly and Murphy are guilty POS

I'm mostly thinking of this play when I say his arm is nothing special haha https://www.cfl.ca/2023/08/20/outstanding-td-grab-from-samuel-emilus/

Ray had the timing down and nobody said he had a big arm.

Another option at RT but not a very exciting one. That said, Hardrick was picked from the scrap heap before and turned into an all-star, so who knows.

That's it right there. He can get it deep it just takes a while to get there.
