  1.  

    From Penton in Sun

    More hirings on horizon

    Mike O’Shea still has to hire three more assistants, and one of them will be a quarterbacks coach.

    The Bombers head coach will also be hiring assistants for the linebackers and offensive line to round out his nine-member staff.

    Most other CFL staffs are complete and already working together, although the Montreal Alouettes are still without a head coach.

    Great news that a QB coach is still part of the plan. Looks like no RB coach this season.

     

    That would be a low totem pole priority for me.  Here's the ball, now run for your life!

  2. Happy to see McCune land in Wpg.  If Wally is to believed the trending in the CFL West is to the running game and McCune would be a good antidote to that type of attack.

     

    Don't forget this is a guy with a couple of well earned nicknames.  Robert "The Hammer" McCune and "Mad Dog". 

     

    It's been a long time since an individual Bomber player earned a nickname, can't recall anyone since "Blink"....so it's trending right.

  3. there's no question about whether he's a douchebag or not...it's about whether you're willing to accept it in exchange for him putting up big numbers in the summer, and fading in the fall...

     

    Strong words.  Why would you refer to Burris as a "douchebag"?  Consider the business of football and what Austin just did to him before judging in such harsh terms.

  4. I wonder if there`s a chance that Toronto could be hoping this would make him more likely to land in Winnipeg. If they believe that he`s going to be a good player, they`d want him out of the division. Right now I think Hamilton doesn`t have a clear picture of whether Burris will be back or not, making Winnipeg look like the best opportunity for Collaros. If they waited until free agency to let him look that could mean Burris is out of Hamilton and Collaros would be more likely to sign in Hamilton. Or maybe this theory of mine is a reach.....

     

    I have to believe this has something to do with Barker's planning but not sure exactly how it's intended to play out...but surely having Collaros land in Wpg. is to his advantage.  The Argos really only have 2 competitors in the East so why not try to trip up Austin and throw a wrench into his plans.  Kind of forces Austin to **** or get off the pot....he needs to decide whether to go after Collaros or secure Burris..

  5. It boggles the mind in this digital age that we haven't heard a peep about Collaros having any NFL tyrouts.  You'd think somebody, somewhere would be able to track him down and find out what he's been up to this winter. 

     

    I guess sprortwriters nowdays mostly poke around on the Internet reading fan forums and speculating wildly as we all do!

    Frustrating that so little is happening at this time of year when expectations of positive change are sky high.   My main concern over Collaros is his future ambitions and lack of info. regarding.  Haven't heard a thing about his try outs with NFL teams this winter or his prospects.  Even if the Bombers managed to sign him to a first contract he may still  elect to try his NFL luck again in 2-3 years time much like Dressler and Sheets in Sask....so I can't see how this bodes well for the Bombers long term plans. 

     

    Bombers might have greatest success going with Hank in 2014 with Willy as his understudy and than putting their chips down on Willy to take over in 2015.  If Hank wants to stick around a couple of years past 2014 no problem as long as he accepts this transition in role and salary.  In this scenario either one coming in off the bench to rescue a game is going to sound good to me.

     

     

    This logic doesn't fly with me.

     

    We should be worried about the prospect of a player going to the NFL in 2-3 years?

     

    What are the odds he makes it? And on the flip side of your proposal, what's to say Drew Willy doesn't get a NFL look if he's successful with our club?

     

     

    Correct, same possibility exists regarding Willy but I believe he has already had some time in the NFL so perhaps he's given up on that dream.
