  1. Turner was a force....key word being 'was'...If it was turf toe, like some are saying, then I can see why he had a bad year in 15'...Guess we'll find out if he can turn up his game with the leos.. Looking at what has transpired with that club lately that might be a little tough...I'm picking them for the basement...Wally or no Wally  ...Turner is definitely a good addition for them along with Moore....the place where exBombers seem to be landing.

  2. Don't agree with the 'lag time' comment or 'getting up to speed'....Growing pains are experienced by every club bringing in new players....Certainly it takes time to jell BUT some teams like the Redblacks put a hole in the argument that you need a lot of 'lag time'...as a Cup appearance in yr. 2 will attest to that...We will be afforded the time this year to get it all together and that will come down to coaching...We know our talent has improved as well as coaching...A huge improvement can be realized in 16' and Bomber fans should and will expect that much and a playoff spot. 

  3. Hire Bud Grant to coach the coach.....Can't have too many football minds past or present on board...Heck we could have as many coaches as riders have in their scouting dept....Get the cheque book out..After that cynical rant, I don't see where it's a bad thing for a capable guy like Lapo or O'Shea doing 2 jobs...You certainly get to know every idiosyncrasy of every player...which can be a good thing.

  4. Interesting turn events...Jones would like to pick up a couple of high pics for his no 1 BUT is there anyone worth that in this draft....Certainly Onyemata would be but he's headed south, so he'd be a latter round shot for someone...Can Jones get a dancing partner in May???? Maybe not if nobody is willing to part with pics and/ or a quality player on their roster. 

  5. Really reaching back into the past with the hiring of Obie...He's older than dirt...I don't want to sound age discriminatory but couldn't they find someone younger and relevant to present day...Wally going with old pals in his last days I guess....Geroy I can see and they most likely have something bigger in mind for him in the future....but O'Billovitch...lol.. 

  6. So if there is nothing there at nine, with regards to the o line, do we package up our 2 second rounders and trade up....Tough call...If we can't get into the top four or five, we may have to take a chance on a 'long term project' or go in a different direction all together...If it goes that way it'll be too bad as we could sure  could use another guy like Chungh or Goossen. 

  7. ....IF this teams main aim was to finish in the basement, so they could finish high in the draft, then somebody should be fired...Is that the only way now, for Canadian teams to build...cuz if it is the fans are being short changed bigtime...All Canadian cities have teams that look like bottom feeders or dumpster fires...Is it that quality players don't want to play in the country that founded hockey, and can see themselves only as 'pay me the millions' Americans ...I try not to be too negative but this latest NHL scenario is not looking good for the league ...To put into perspective...starting on the west coast, Canucks,Oilers,Flames,Jets,Leafs, and Habs all stink....Hockey fans in this country need to see some change or they'll start walking away..

  8. Now that we have a kicker....schmoes will test us but they're beatable... We just about had them last year but the kicker went a.w.o.l....I think we're getting a better deal than last year but the first part of the season is really going to show what we're made of...All in all not that bad.

    Played with Dinos but from BC

    ....True....forgot he was from the left coast but played in Cal....In any case both teams Cal.and Leos will probably have their sights set on him in the future, because of their relationship to Chungh....AND yes Mike it's a shame there isn't something in place to protect our valued draft pics..

  10. How can anyone be critical of Chunghs' play ...The guy is a rising star in this league and has all- star written all over him...The only thing I'm concerned about Chungh is that he'll head off to 'greener pastures' (nfl) where the benjamins really do make it greener...I also have this bad feeling of him wanting to head home to Cal. (ala Labatte)....I hope we don't make the same mistake with this guy as we did with Brendan and have him wander off...Get him extended Walters ...a smart thing to do.
