He also had a career 18.2 yard average per reception (to put that in perspective, of the other Bomber RB greats Roberts was 9.2, Harris 9.1, Reaves 10.6, and greatest receiver ever Stegall 17.7) and on kick returns had a 29.1 yard average (3rd best all-time in the CFL), topping 32 yards per return in 3 separate seasons.

Jack Jacobs was with the Bombers for 5 seasons and is on the ring. So that is the precedent for minimum service with the club for now. Bighill is in year 4 this season (5 if you count 2020 where he did not play but was under contract) Willie J going into year 3 (4 including COVID year). Although Bighill is only one of 2 Bombers to win DMOP twice with the team and only one of 6 CFLers ever to win it 3 times overall, I think he is a ways away and not a guaranteed honouree given who is still not up there.Bryant yes and likely the first of this current group, Willie J needs a few more years, Harris is possible but not before Roberts, and maybe not before Willard Reaves, who may himself not get up there. Reaves also was here 5 years.

But where will they find someone to play the drummer?

We are going to be treated with some true Bomber legends as we head into the weekend and approach the (hopeful) start of main training camp. Today’s entry: Leo Lewis, “The Lincoln Locomotive”, the greatest player Bud Grant ever coached.

Comeback from down 2 goals in the first to win 5-2. Game 4 Friday.

I think you mean 1850’s.

Hoping for a little more muscle weight. Looks like he borrowed Manute Bol’s legs. But let’s not judge a book by a single cover (photo) and see how he does.

Agudosi listed at 220 lbs. Looks skinnier in that photo.

Yes he is for sure, which is why the Jets should be wary about moving him given his production, even if the fan base has soured on him. If he does go, I would think the teams most interested are the ones still in the championship window mode, not a re-building team that could lose him to free agency in 2 seasons. A team like Boston who have a good core but would happily take a strong centre to add to it and potentially push them over the top. Or a Vegas who need a better contract with their cap issues, but I don’t see the Jets taking in more salary in a player-for-player return, which is what Vegas would offer. Maybe if the Jets did a sign and trade deal so the new club had security beyond 2023-24 it could happen.

And even Eichel’s trade was a lottery protected pick so that they couldn’t get anything higher than top 10. Bottom line, I don’t see Jersey giving up a #2 overall and a centreman coming off a 40+ point rookie season for Scheifele and nothing else, as was proposed. Seems too high.

Not according to the media who are now coming out of the woodwork. Fingers are pointing back to the 2019 season, not just last year. But accepting your argument, if he is elite, why are we looking to get rid of him then? If he is so flawed defensively, suffering psychologically from his suspension, and bad in the room (which I suspect is the argument) who is paying that price and mortgaging a good chunk of their future for a guy who could be gone in 2 years, especially a team on a re-build? And don’t forget that the Jets are trading from a point of weakness if they are the ones pushing for a trade to happen because of the unrest.

Legitimately, I think the Jets would have to throw in their 1st rounder as well to make the rest of that deal happen, if not another lower draft pick as well. Scheifele may be on a team friendly deal, but only for 2 years. With Mercer and a draft pick, Jets would have team control for at least 6 years on both.

Why is it that the people most desperate to trade a player they label arrogant, selfish, malcontent, defensively useless, locker room cancer, team killer, etc. also create these trade scenarios where we could get a king’s ransom because the guy is such a star?

So actually got out to see it last night, and kind of meh for me. Since Avengers Endgame it feels like they are searching for a new long term arc but nothing has stuck yet. Of everything they have put out since, only Spider-Man Far From Home I found entertaining, and more so for the “high school road trip” stuff more than the villain. No Way Home did not do it for me as the multiverse stuff feels too convoluted. Did not see Eternals and I’m told not to waste my time. Have not watched the streaming series either. And the Venom movies were just dumb to me. So not big expectations for this one. Without giving away plot, I can say that for a “multiverse” story (no spoiler since it’s in the title) the linear plot is easy enough to follow without a whole bunch of jumping between multiple dimensions. And some humerus cameos, but in the end largely forgettable, but again I guess they are trying to set something up down the road. My son who is more of a comic book aficionado did not like it at all. As for the “horror movie” aspect, not really but a couple of jump scares, and not too gory. Certainly not an R rating, PG 13 is probably accurate.

He’s more likely to walk out than get fired given his history. So he may not last the season. Scott Milanovich quit on the team last year before even coaching one game, so there is precedent for both the coach and the team.

Rick House Ian Logan Maurice Leggett jumping for joy because we are one month away from the season opener.

One can only hope.

I am hoping to see it this weekend but it might be a couple of weeks for me, so what I have heard is all here say. From what little I have heard, a few big spoilers (some early in the movie) so avoid any online stuff because it is already out there. Have heard some describe it as Marvel’s first horror movie, definitely a Sam Raimi bent to it so his directing style came through. Not positive but I think the Wandavision limited series is recommended if not required viewing before seeing the movie. 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. Will chime in again once I have seen it.

It has a “Z” in it,see?

Yes please. If anyone could teach defensive structure, it’s Trotz. And although his teams have always seemed to flame out in the playoffs, Boudreau would be a good hire to get us in a different direction.

Speed, these are tremendous game photos you have dug up.

Great post!

Zorn took over as the holder on field goals that year. Trevor Kennerd said he had the fastest hands of any holder Kennerd had ever seen. I remember Mark Jackson as the back-up to Brock in the early 1980’s. Touted as the “next one” but rarely got to see the field with Brock In front of him. Then when Dieter had his hold-out, Jackson came in and quickly proved himself to be a mirage, hastening the need to make the trade for Clements. Another great pairing, if not a true tandem, was Jonas/Brock. Don, two years removed from his MVP performance, wanted to be the mentor for Brock and pass the reins on to him and slide into the back-up role, recognizing the raw talent there, but GM Earl Lunsford had other ideas and unceremoniously shipped him off to Hamilton for Chuck Ealey.
