This may have been Etienne's wish- his stay here was not a good one for either him or the team, so a fresh start may have been the best for all. The problem is, with him gone, who do we pillory now?
-
okey dokey then.
As much as a pain in the butt the ratio rule is, it is what makes the CFL the CFL and provides this forum with grist for the mill.

Confucius said that there are two kinds of farmers: one will go into the farmyard looking for eggs and finding them, the other will go out looking for chicken poop and finding it. We see things not as they are, but as we are.

Its all an Illuminati/New World Order/Left-wing/Fascist/Communist/satanic plot to make sure that the Bombers never have a dull moment. If only we had a benevolent dictator to sort out all the problems so that we could all live happily ever after.

How do you say Etienne out performed him? He had less stats despite having way more time with the club and our system.Except that the stats show Etienne had more yards per game than Kelly did.... Mike isn't trying to pimp Etienne here, simply saying that Kelly was less productive yet people ran Etienne out of town on a rail so why does Kelly as an import survive?
Maybe because Kelly in his short time showed more than Etienne did in his 3 years

I think its safe to assume that the new coaching staff (and probably the GM) have been over the videos of the past season or two and have made decisions about who has zero potential to make the team and who who has shown enough promise to be kept around. Decent NIs are pretty rare and Etienne has obviously shown himself as a non-starter or even backup.

I'm pretty sure city building inspectors will (or already have) inspect the defective areas of the stadium if there's a hint of public concern.
NOTE: Building inspection is a city responsibility not provincial. If it were provincial I'm sure Selinger would turn a blind eye - even at the risk of spectators potentially exposed to danger!
Thank God you have the gift of foresight!

Not sure if this is a good idea, given the amount of verbal abuse directed at officials during the games, and particularly after a close game. Refereeing is always going to be imperfect, and I could easily see drunken louts screaming threats and obscenities at an official who has displeased them.
I took this to mean officials will be made available to the media for interviews, not the fans/public. Though I suppose members of the media could also be drunken louts.
I believe that is mandatory for the media.

Yep that Boltus game was an all time low point for the Bomber franchise. Bringing Boltus in is one of my only concerns with Bellefeuille...what was he thinking?
My thoughts, too. TJ Rubley would have been a better choice.
-
He won't bother applying, it's a waste of time for him.
But he might be as good as Kito Poblah.

Goossen looks to have the aggressiveness, size and strength to be a good center, but since the center calls the blocking schemes, I hope he has the coachability and smarts as well. This is pure fantasy, but if Goossen turns out to be a decent starting center, and both Neufeld and Pencer step up, our O-line's woes should be a thing of the past. Greaves is not an all-star but good enough and it shouldn't be too hard to find (or keep) a solid left tackle from the pool of import talent.

Sweet Jesus, no. I picked a bad day to quit smoking/drinking/coking.

This is where the rubber hits the road. If the Bomber brain trust are doing their jobs properly, there ought to be a pretty clear picture soon about whether or not there's a winner in the current crop of wannabe quarterbacks. If, despite their best efforts, there is no confidence in this lot, then the Bombers may have to hold their collective noses and negotiate for Glenn.

January is needed in a time like this. In a rebuild you need high character guys who lead on and off the field. I can only remember the first couple games in 2012 where he missed were a complete train wreck.
No argument here, but realistically, January is in the twilight of his career, and we can expect one more year from him at best, so if we can use his experience and leadership as a bargaining chip to get a better draft pick or such, we gotta do it.
-
Double down on the last statement!
-
Kenny Ploen played QB, HB and safety.
Yes, but just look at him now. It was so hard on him that he looks like he's....eighty.
-
If Smith played an entire game (OL and DL) would that count as 2 NI spots towards the minimum requirement of 7?
If he was schizophrenic, that would be a sure thing.
-
Smith's athleticism, aggressiveness, speed and intelligence would seem to make him an idea O-lineman, perhaps at center (if he has long enough arms) or as a pulling guard. We need a smart, tough center to call the blocking schemes and we haven't had that since Picard left. Smith would seem to have a very high ceiling.

I did some research of this player- he seems to be the victim of bad luck more than fragility, and if that is the case, he ought to be a stellar addition. He can scoot, power through and catch with a good attitude. I couldn't check out his blocking but at 220 pounds, he should be able to be competent if not great. If he proves himself in the CFL, the NFL dream may be too tempting, though.
Did you know that NFL cheerleaders do not get paid even minimum wage?
-
January has been a good solid lineman for us, and one of the few bright lights in a sub-par O-line but I do not think he has much tread left on his tires, so his trade value would be pretty minimal.

If there's a hint Lavertu or Focault are NFL bound (especially if Bombers pick them) then Quinn Smith has to be selected at #2.
The basic problem is Tyson Pencer is still probably not ready for prime-time action. Although he's far stronger than Morley and a tad bigger, too he's just not experienced enough to make a difference. One on one meatball contact he'll give you decent protection and won't be defeated easily. Run some crosses or schemes at him and he'll be balling his eyes out. And so will we.
If Pencer was available for this year's draft I doubt he'd be picked any higher than 2nd round - possible third. Just on potential. Same as he still is.
To my knowledge there hasn't been anything regarding Lavertu and the NFL. He should be safe for Ottawa or Winnipeg.
That's what makes him a rock hard first overall pick.
Maybe that was just Viagra.

From what I could see in the highlight video, he would seem to have it all-good hands, decent size, speed to burn, not afraid of traffic and he even blocked well for other receivers. If he can keep his parts together, he ought to be worth watching in training camp.
