The "pipe-line" in action.

Correct, and they left Drew Willy out twisting in the wind.

I agree rotating 7 is better than dressing 6 D-lineman, hopefully one of the Import DE's they bring into camp can impress enough to make the roster. Natl. DT's are a bargain compared to DE's (excluding Laurent), they can take the $200,000 they save on Westerman and put it toward signing Thomas, Steele or Waud to fill out the lineup.

Perhaps, but nothing is more bitter than an "Addison Richards pill".

All the Als need to do is fire the moron in charge and they could begin a rebuild, delaying the inevitable just damages the CFL brand further in Montreal.

I thought Bowman retired last year? Good player but this is a pretty obvious position that Kavis could have used an infusion of younger blood. I will be literally amazed if Reed is still the Als GM by game 6.

Now that would be hilarious.

I haven't been following Jake (or anyone else) on Twitter, is he disgruntled?

Just means they will have to find a replacement that will probably cost them more $$, unless Ekakitie can handle the rotation by himself.

He has to be the longest serving Bomber with Denmark now gone, he's been around since 2012.

I find it hard to believe Jake will end up anywhere else, he's a good fit and he doesn't cost much.

Just my opinion but old blue dogs with glaucoma taste better than KFC.

I loved how LeFevour ran 3rd down gambles last year, in that he wasn't just plunging he was looking for holes to exploit and he always found them. Durant used to be able to do that but I haven't seen much of it in the last 3-4 years. Eliminate Bond from the equation and 3rd down gambles may actually become "3rd down gambles".

I don't recall seeing Poop and Nevis on the field together very often, it was usually one or the other but at least it was nice to finally have both of them dressing for games consistently towards the end of the year. I think the plan going into last year was to rotate the DT positions between Nevis, Ekakite and Thomas leaving the MLB position open to Knox or another Import. After the emergence of Poop in TC they quickly changed their minds and reverted to plugging Hurl in at MLB, hoping the heavy horses at DT could help clog up the middle and shut down the running game. I think that part of the plan worked reasonably well or at least better than it did in 2016 when Shologan and Cummings were playing those positions.

Eddie Steele would probably be an upgrade over Thomas at DT and would be cheaper than Evans.

Dave Campbell @Dave_CHED #Eskimos GM Brock Sunderland says he has had extensive conversations with pending free-agent LB Adam Konar. Mentioned he has some Canadian depth behind Konar. Could also flip the WIL LB to an American spot with Korey Jones or Terrance Bullitt. #CFL Dave Campbell @Dave_CHED Replying to @Dave_CHED Reading between the lines, Konar likely hits free-agency on Tuesday. Not sure he's coming back. #Eskimos #CFL

Anyone know if Bond has gotten any NFL tryouts? I'd hate to see him suit up for a long career with another CFL team.

Yep, hopefully they make a good run this year and have replacements lined up when they're done. I'd like to see at least two new receivers emerge from T.C. that will be ready to step into key roles for next year.

To feed Bowman a lot of balls LaPo is going to have to readjust his O scheme and Nichols will have to relax his sphincter muscles and start chucking the ball, accepting that more interceptions will follow.

Criner had a couple of impressive games with the RB's in the second half of the season but overall his numbers were mediocre. This may indicate he's ready to break out and establish himself or it may mean he's an inconsistent performer. Either bargain or bust, he's got the physical tools but it's not a given that he would be the impact receiver the Bombers need to add this season.

I don't know what the Esks. plan to do with their ratio but the only other Natl. option they have at LB is Cory Greenwood, so I'd be surprised if they let Konar walk after already signing Sherritt to play MLB.

It's only lunch time, probably about a fifth.

Plus he attempted to smuggle it across an Intl. border, that's the bigger issue IMO.

Listen, if you can't get excited by the strategic importance of these charges you don't hate the Riders nearly enough.
