No really, I thought there was only 2 CFL Teams........................... I don't want Glenn here, I actually think it's unlikely for him to sign here, but why waste assets on him when we could either pick him up if he's released or if he doesn't want to come here waste picks and players for nothing. At the same time, what other team would want Glenn ? maybe Montreal and/or Edmonton, but I don't see BC going after him, nor Calgary, Saskatchewan, Toronto, Hamilton. Why wouldn't bc go for him? He's more reliable then Buck. One reason would be leadership issues. When it comes to that, Buck is more reliable.

What I'm curious about is whether it would be better for our team to have a QB coach who played QB in the CFL (or just had CFL experience) or is it better to have some one like Dahlquist with his wealth of coaching experience and probably wealth of experience on how to deal with athletes one on one? Time will tell I guess. You would think that with someone like Willy who is still fairly new to our game that having a former CFLer would be more appropriate than having a non-cfl coach but who knows. I guess it's a win just having one.

Ironically, on the surface, Higgins demeanor and approach to how he coaches seems very similar to Trestman's. Maybe that was one of the draws. It proved quite successful for Trestman in his time in Montreal.

It's usually the reverse where the job of the O-line is to ensure the QB and RB's can do their jobs, i.e., poor QB play is mostly a result of the O-line BUT it's a good reminder it works the other way as well..

Actually saw that he asked how the search for a DC was going .. *shrug* I think Sears could be one of the big beneficiaries of an Etcheverry defence. He is just the type of player that Etch loves. Although how Sears is coached and used has never really been the issue, it's him staying healthy long enough to be coached and used

We did no such thing, he retired on his own terms which I respect enormously.

No mascot budgets in Oregon? I especially like the second one from the right. Are those eyes or do trees have breasts now, not that I'm complaining?

He's got that look that seems to be whispering through his clenching teeth, "Their f****ng going to kill me, call someone, send help"

Not sure how you can compare Lavoie to Nik Lewis at all. Their skill set is entirely different. I don't know if you can compare anyone to Nik Lewis. He is one of my favorite guys to watch when they catch him on the sidelines after a big play or a contoversial ruling. He's friggen hilarious love him or hate him.

Quite impressive and as you say, good motivation for any young players who may be more suitable for coaching.

I hear what you're saying and I agree. Going in a different leadership direction for sure and will be very interesting in what tone is set and how accountability is shared with all of this staff and player turnover.

If you're readiing this Terrence, thanks for all the years of entertainment and being a true blue bomber. You're part of an elite group.

cmon give the guy a chance. let see what he got during TC. I'm not talking about his OC talents...I'm talking about his crappy recruits he got them to bring in. Boltus was one...there was another one from Hamilton. A WR...I can't remember his name. You must mean Aaron Kelly, who was nothing short of amazing for us down the stretch. Odd how a few highlight reel grabs equate to people thinking he was amazing. Seems an odd contradiction in a way. (highlight = not amazing) I think fans were just waiting for something, anything to happen, and some of those catches were a breath of fresh air. I think more of the issue, at least for me, is improving our success in having potential turn into reality. With certain players, you know what you get, they either are stars, their functionally average, their role players or they get cut. But with others there's that 'he could be better' feel that takes more of an investment of time, energy, money and focus. Over the last while we haven't had the returns of this effort knowing there's always going to be busts. Also, imo, compared to most other teams, we've sucked royally at having depth to cover off our injuries. No depth, no success.

Not to mention the fact he answers back, "Sup".

At the gym I went to in Winnipeg before we left, they had a sign by the hair dryers that said, "Please use for intended purposes". They also had a sign by the couches that said, "Please do not sit naked on the couches". True story. Pal of mine In downtown TOR Goodlife says there are signs asking members not to have sex in the stalls, showers. Killjoys. Hmm why?

Jim Daley's time his past. His last stint as a special teams coordinator was woeful to say the least. That being said, here's more news if you will about the Argos coaching staff... Kirk Penton ‏@PentonKirk 28s Casey Creehan and Will Plemons both on #Argos new coaching staff under DC Tim Burke. #Bombers Burke implied and sometimes even more than implied it was our lack of talent for our woes. I guess he and Creehan get a second kick at the can with the Argo's defense. So, if the Argo defense shites the bed this year, or at the very least regress from what they achieved last year, is it now on them or can they continue to use the lack of talent reason (excuse to some)? Or will they come up with another explanation, new system, players left, injuries, head coach etc etc?

It was awesome save for that :-)

Since Glenn left our organization unceramoniously during the start of Kelly's tenure, I've never been THAT upset that he left even though Kelly took a risk and lost. He obviously would help upgrade our QB options but I do feel his presence and demeanor on and off the field (his tweet the most recent one) has it's drawbacks that don't fit well with the type of culture, the type the approach, the type of attitude Miller, Walters and company are appearing to want to create for this team. I'm probably in the minority as a BB fan but I really don't want him back if I had the choice.

I'd rather bring Palardy back than Congi. Yuck. Same problems, "accurate" kickers with no leg. If they aren't hitting 90% inside 40, they are killing you with lousy kickoffs and lack of range. Biggest pet peeve I have with kickers. If they can't provide reasonable consistent kick-off distant, then no thanks.

I would have thought Ottawa if anywhere but having him here for training camp tryout with no guarantees can't hurt for us.

This is, by far, the most ruthless position to play in the CFL in terms of sticking.

Plus I don't think he wants to be a Bomber.

Danny McManus disagrees with you. He might know a little something, something about quarterbacks. He might know something about being a cfl qb in the league a few years back.. But he doesn't have a history (yet) for succesfully spotting and developing cfl QB.. Time will tell and Danny mac was a great HOF QB.. but that doesn't always translate into be a great scout, mentor, etc. I'm hoping he's right.. But i've been hoping for 5 years that the "pros" knew what we needed, could scout, sign and assign roles that players could excel in.. But it hasn't happened yet..[/quote Jeezus can we just enjoy this for a while Debbie Downer ]
