Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
bearpants replied to Wideleft's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Bombers trade Couture to the Riders for a 3rd round pick and a prospect... Couture waits and sign in BC... -

I LOVE this signing... unfortautely it probably means that Couture is on his way out... but between Tui, Neufeld, Gray, Dobson and Kola... we're still pretty well stacked at Cdn Interior O-line... Walters you SOB, you've done it again! -

it'll help having Wilson back by his side too -

One thing I've wondered about this... and I haven't seen it addressed anywhere... is why is the kid going from Div 1 NCAA to CIS... is there more to the story they're not mentioning? -

great coach to learn under... no doubt about that... but he's QB2 (at best) behind the guy expected to be the face of the franchise for the next decade... so not a great choice in terms of opportunity -

I agree with you on this one... some of the CFL diehards will hate to admit it... but this is not about opportunity for Rourke... the opportunity will be whatever team offers him the best contract... he'll take it... Also, what's with all those stupid hashtags in the Farhan tweets... who the hell is EverythingBlue and OnePride?... teams have names for a reason... -

especially considering it was the same offseason for these two! -

the other thing to consider about Demski... with CFL players, we're not talking about millionaires... guys consider playing salary but also post playing career.... Demski likely already has business opportunities, maybe a job, and a home in Winnipeg.... and legacy... he could go down as winning 3 or 4 championships with his hometown team.... is playing somewhere else and getting an extra 15 or 20k worth it when you've got all that at home? -

my quick thoughts on must signs and would be nice... Must Sign: Sheed, Demski, Yoshi, Jeffcoat, Couture, Grant Would be Nice: Briggs, Darby, Gauthier, Sayles, McRae, Miller (let's be honest, he's either a Bomber or retired) -

It infuriates me to no end when he signs the top OLB in the league... likely at below market value!... get rid of this clown -

no problem bringing him back... but I still see Lawrence and Houston ahead of him on the depth chart -

well this part probably is accurate... but he bar wasn't exactly set high... -

be interesting to see how long he wears two hats... I'd think they probably have a succession plan for HC at this point... maybe Killam -

What's especially a red flag about this is Costanza (can't-stand-ya) has been in the league for a long time and has been considered a bright offensive mind for a long time... he left Calgary because there was no path to an OC job there... and same thing in Winnipeg after one season when Buck had a really good year... so he finally gets a chance at one of only 9 "dream jobs" and says "no thanks"... BTW.... if there was ever a chance we were to lose Buck... Costanza is a guy I was hoping we'd look to bring back. -

Calvillo and Archambault are both not white… -

I think we have Lawrence and Houston under contract for next year… I’d rank those two ahead of Rose at this point… unless Rose comes back cheap, they could move on from him… Ellingson probably depends on how the receiver chips fall in free agency… if we bring back Lawler or sign another big name receiver then there’s probably not a spot for Ellingson. -

O'Shea is 52 years old... safe to say he should have at least 10 good years of coaching left in him... but I'm not going to pretend to know what his future plans are -

No... I think we all agreed Prukopp should never throw a long ball on a gadget play in an important moment of a huge game in which the Bomber were on their way to winning... Do they though?... I believe Durant's departure opened up some money to sign one Mr. Adam Bighill... and allowed us to discover the Strevellation... you might argue, Darian Durant single handedly helped start this Bomber run of dominance 😁 -

No shock... I'm glad it is now finalized... our sole focus now is 3 in four years (or 1-0 if you're coach)... Let's go Blue! -
We know Walters won't go overboard and overpay for a lot of players... but one big signing (like Ceserna, for example) would be really exciting

Maston hasn't played a game since the 2019 GC and Taylor will be 35 years old soon... unfortunately we may have already seen the last of those two guys -
I'm fine with Prukop being on the field in that situation... throws a wrench in TO's planning... but the call should be clear... if there isn't someone very obviously open downfield, you tuck and run or check down... don't throw it deep if there's any reasonable coverage there... that's on Prukop and the coaches

BLM is a lock in Toronto or Hamilton... funny that Ballsy is basically guaranteeing he'll be in Sask... and then proclaiming a massive turn around based solely on that... 😄 -
Am I overthinking this and being unnecessarily paranoid?... But looking back on our last two playoff runs... The Bomber haven't played a good, complete game in any of those playoff games... 2021 West Final against Sask, played a bad game and scraped out a win.... 2021 Grey Cup, played bad three quarters but took over for one quarter and pulled it off... 2022 West Final, played an OK game and made enough plays when it counted to win... 2022 Grey Cup, simply didn't play very good and lost... We still walk away with one Grey Cup in the last two years... but it's a bit of a troubling trend
