according to the Bombers site... the only DL at 6'7 is Willie... unless there are some guys not listed yet... are you reinventing the wheel... or just making the three LB positions the way they were 15 years ago? I hate to be a stickler... but this is clearly a top 7 😉 I'll go: Stan, Biggie, Collaros, Harris, Yoshi... had to make a few tough decisions to follow the rules (Jeffcoat and Willie, for example)...

I know you mentioned Ottawa but didn't really get into details... they had a really nice FA period adding Allen, Reavis, Eberhardt... but their biggest addition was getting Dinwiddie

I highly doubt the Bombers would do this... but I would drop Jones and Wilson in a heartbeat if we had a chance to sign McManis... I'd start McManis at MLB and Ayers at WIL... the money would be close to even that way and the production would probably be better

totally agree that Stan is a legend and he'll likely play... but he's a downgrade from Broxton at LT... switching to RT, I'd be hard pressed to think he'd be better than Randolph... and he's never played inside, so likely a downgrade from Vanderpool... I still think he'll play... I'm just interested to see how it shakes out... for the record (I haven't purchased it yet) Bryant #66 is going to be my next jersey, if you're questioning how I feel about the GOAT... 😁

I genuinely wonder about where Big Stan fits in... if you consider a potential starting line up of Broxton-Vanderpool-Eli-Paddy-Randolph.... where does Stan play that makes this group better?... Could he dress as a DI and play TE on 6-man sets?.... that would be an easy way to count him as a DA

you're right, you do post a lot and it would be almost impossible for me to find something from over a year ago... but the context was basically that he took responsibility for not having the team ready prior to a loss... you (and others) said just taking responsibility wasn't good enough and that he should resign if he really meant it... I'll admit, I can't remember if it was resign or be fired And yes, we all took great pleasure in beating the piss out of Dunk's super team, lol... that's one thing we'll never disagree about 😄

you're right... signing Lawler would've added a few "wow" moments to our offense... having him may have led to more points and maybe an extra win... but his presence wouldn't have fixed our OL issues or DL issues or overall ineptitude of our offense... what's done is done... last year is a throw away (IMO) and let's look forward to getting back this year....

what a weird statement by Dunk... I'm pretty sure 7 other teams have also wanted McManis playing for them for years... Ceresna is a better DE... and he's not even a DE, lol... I have no hate for Vaughters, he was OK last year... he would probably benefit from playing across from a star... and I'm not sure he'll have that in his new home remember not that long ago you were saying Mace should be fired for taking responsibility for a loss??

We need to add a mind blown emoji to the reactions... to recap: Bombers added the best OL available, the best DT available, top 3 receiver available, best Canadian receiver available, and an all-star DB which basically got swept under the rug with all the other news... As much as some people want to hate on Coach O'Shea... his reputation around the league is unmatched... and I guarantee some of those guys signed because of him

3 or 4 days ago there were 3 top WRs about to hit the market... all three are now signed and we landed one of them... some people are going to complain we didn't get the best one... but I think the reality is the other two probably weren't realistically coming here... I am happy we went out and got a legit talent. Ford the QB is a natural replacement for Demski the slotback?... I might agree if Ford gave any indication he was willing/interesting in switching positions...

IMO you only really break the bank (overpay) for certain guys... assuming he's still in top form... Ceresna would be one of those guys Ceresna, cheap receiver, OL would be my free agency wishes... fill the rest of the roster with recruits and Canadians.

White is a good signing... gives us a nice top 3 in Pokey-Demski-White (in whatever order you choose)... as others have mentioned... I would also like to see an under-the-radar/under utilized guy like Shamar Bridges or Joe Robustetelli added to the group... maybe given more opportunities, one of those guys could emerge as the "next guy"....

to me, it's one of two things... either the Eli boosters here are just wrong... or maybe he is a better C but the team valued his ability as the sixth man higher because Kolo would be even more useless if he was anything other than C...

Not to mention Ayers and Woodbey... I hate this signing... not that I don't like Kyrie Wilson... because he has given us some really quality years.... I just hate the idea of playing a 33 year old (let's be honest, he's starting at WIL) on the down side of his career when we have multiple ealry to mid 20s guys ready to play and needing reps... just doesn't make any sense to me

I agree there are a few players that would be OK to bring back... but none are "must sign" in my opinion.
