Hard to take pleasure in this development, but Hurl was not good enough. I'm sure he knew it.

Do I heard Olivia Newton-John in the background?

Sounded like Durant had basically been told he'd be doing it. I'd be interested in a guy like Fajardo both as a developmental guy for #3 and because of his ability to run short-yardage/option package.
LeFevour ran an option package that was used several times a game last season that was pretty important to the offense. You really want to push indictments, don't you?
Everyone needs a hobby.

It sincerely worries me that we can't. I really feel like people massively underrate how automatic Fever was last year. I know it's a little thing, but seriously, the guy was damn good...
LeFevour was good at that and only that. Shouldn't be all that difficult to replace him, and if the Bomber braintrust cannot, it is a massive indictment of their competence.

It looks like Northrup's biggest liability may be his sideline to sideline speed. It was a concern for the NFL game and might be even moreso in the CFL.
Strengths
Built like inside backer with thick legs and compact frame. Will diagnose and go. Recognizes misdirection and reads zone-read mesh points quickly. Won't give second-level climbers a square angle on him very often. Plays with desired punch and arm extension when taking on linemen. Steps into the hole and leverages his gap with wide based and willing attitude. Scrapes to run with good angles and can finish with some thud in his pads.Weaknesses
Average range from sideline to sideline. Forced into challenging tackle options due to average athleticism for the position. Was often pulled on third downs and lacks athleticism or cover skills to cover in the pros. Slow to get proper depth into his drops in pass coverage. Needs better conditioning. Fatigued against tempo offenses.Draft Projection
Undrafted free agentBottom Line
Interchangeable piece in Seminoles defense that handled his job but wasn't much of a playmaker during his time there. Northrup is tough and plays with the hands and physicality needed for the interior in the NFL, but his lack of speed and ability to play on third downs could limit his draft opportunities and chances of making a roster. -

Impossible. Resigning is something a person has to do themselves. On the other hand they may re-sign Daniels.
(free English lessons thanks to my father, the English professor)
He could be resigned to re-signing.

For the right price (obviously) I would re-sign Hurl. Special teams and a back-up MLB that knows the system and carries the right passport.
I don't want him as the starting MLB but he could provide NI coverage.
MOS obviously likes him.
Your granny would be a better backup than Hurl.

**** no we don't need that finger-pointing, blame-game playing, old ass talentless hack.
Agreed, but it does look like a purge is beginning in Cowgary.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the CFL and still learning all the rules, but I've been a long time NFL fan, so I'm up to speed on a lot of things. I'm from Texas, so a little far away. However, I picked the Blue Bombers because Manitoba is beautiful and it has my favorite town in it (The Pas)! I look forward to posting with y'all!
Welcome and please do not take us too seriously. We love our Bombers and the CFL game but sometimes we get carried away.

You are correct, the team will go through its fair share of studs and duds. My point is how long each of these guys managed to stick around -
1. Carmichael - Played in 10 games in 2017 where he was woefully inadequate. Interestingly he was replaced by Walker, perfect example of the team successfully moving on from a bad player.
2. Addison Richards - Was with us since 2015, he didn't even play a snap in 2017, also he dumped us (he retired).
3. Davis - Also here since 2015 and has since been cut.
4. Kris Bastien - He was with us for all of the 2015 season - he still hasn't played a single snap in the CFL for any team. We cut him just before the start of the 2016 season.
I think we need to learn to cut our losses on players that just don't cut it and move on when something just isn't there.
Agreed, but we haven't had the depth to do that, and some cases (like Carmichael and Davis) are real posers.

would Loffler be a good MLB candidate?
I'm not sure he has the build for it. The best MLBs seem to be built like refrigerators with arms like orangutans.

Hmmmm....Konar is a good NI linebacker, but not that good, so far as he has been able to prove. Potential is not proof.
