QB - Could Hall get cut?
And the Jaymar Johnson go-out-of-bounds-2-yards-before-the-first-down debacle. I his defense, he was off-balance and tried to tip-toe as far down the line as possible but he lost his balance too early.... assuming we're thinking of the same play...

GDT: Argos @ Bombers
Speaking of Argos coaches, did anyone else notice that pot belly on Milonovich? Head coaching hours are really starting to get to that guy!... Another thing about Willy that I liked was when he rolled out his throws to the sideline got there quickly and without skipping.... I'm getting far too used to seeing a floater or a ball skip on it's way over

QB - Could Hall get cut?
Not saying Brohm gets cut but he's PR at best right now...

QB - Could Hall get cut?
Unless Brohm steps it up against Calgary I have a hard time believing the depth chart to start the season isn't (1) Willy (2) Hall (3) Marve...

GDT: Argos @ Bombers
two plays by WIlly stood out to me... 1) I didn't like that deep ball to Moore.... even if the throw was on target Moore was still lined up to be destroyed by the safety.... Willy just needs to recognize that coverage over the top... 2) loved when he handed off to Cotton (maybe it was Grigsby?) and then took off in front of him to block.... it does make me a little nervous to see the starting QB as a lead blocker but still love the determination in the red zone... Overall, a pretty solid effort... I can't remember the last time I left the stadium feeling ok about a loss...

Alouettes Fire OC Rick Worman
getting fired for "having a beer" seems a little fishy... let's just wait till all the details unfold... wasn't Worman in the running for our OC job or was that just a rumour??

Main Camp Day 5 (Reports and Discussion)
I'm a little late to the party on this.... I don't think we woulda got him but I'm disappointed to hear we didn't even get in on the Laurent sweepstakes.... I understand the reasoning, but then again conventional CFL wisdom says you never pass on quality Canadians if you can get them.

BLOCKBUSTER: Walby Joins TSN 1290
Are you suggesting hosting or panel member?

BLOCKBUSTER: Walby Joins TSN 1290
haha I like out the title of the thread says BLOCKBUSTER.... but yeah when I saw this, this morning I thought this might actually entice be to give 1290 pre game a listen, instead of CJOB.... I like Bauming and Walby, but not a huge fan of Westy... I think CJOB may need to bring in another analyst to compete.... Who would you take in an anchorman-style fight? Team TSN: Climie, Schultz, and LaPo Team CJOB: Knuckles, Doug Brown, and Mitch Zalnowsky Team 1290: Bauming, Walby, and Westy

monday's preseason game
If it's the only game that gets affected by a strike I'd hope they would just postpone it to later in the week.... assuming things are worked out by then
-
Main Camp Day 5 (Reports and Discussion)
That wasn't a training camp injury. Yeah I believe it was around week 4 or 5

Ryan Lucas torn ACL done for the season
Good point, why even bother showing up? Quick, someone email Wade Miller now to let him know we can just sit out 2014 to make it a nice even 8-team league again...

Bombers negotiate Transit game day discount
I hope he's not referring to a hoopla similar to the Jeff Reinbold days we're all so fond of...
-
Main Camp Day 4 (Reports and Discussion)
I guess we needed to replace Creehan in some way shape or form... Thanks for the report.... any idea how to pronounce Nzegwu?
-
Ryan Lucas torn ACL done for the season
He'll be 30 by the end of the year... definitely still time to recover.... but this is very unfortunate news.... I was looking forward to seeing him on the d-line this year

New Bombers coach O'Shea doing everything possible to control the message
Lawless writes/says some questionable things from time to time but he would never be dumb enough to bad mouth Bob Irving on the radio... Irving is a legend arond these parts and Lawless respects that

Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members
that's only true 84.7% of the time...

TSN Panel (Randorf leaving TSN)
Arash Madani would sure add some drama to the panel! BOOM! Madani would add drama to a daytime soap. New panel wishlist: Lalji, Dunigan, Geroy, and Climie. Stegall just didn't seem a great fit for the panel. Schultz likes the sound of his own voice too much. Climie does too, but there's substance... he's not afraid to take the contrarian viewpoint and back it up. Essential to have a heel on the show. Geroy would be a very interesting option. Respected vet with a lot of charisma. Have you ever heard Geroy speak? no thanks..... they'd be much better off sticking with Stegall
-
New Bombers coach O'Shea doing everything possible to control the message
I still don't understand why some people are in such a tiff over this.... again I'll revert back to Marc Trestman who did not allow assistants to give interviews.... I think that worked out ok for him
-
Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members
I think this is definitely the most important point to emphasize.... at least half the players currently in the PA will not be around by the time this CA comes to an end so how much are they willing to sacrifice to help out future players? my guess is not much...
-
TSN Panel (Randorf leaving TSN)
Duthie would probably be the best replacement... I think he and most of the NHL analysts are sticking around so it would depend on his NHL on TSN obligations.... regional people like Lalji or Orlesky probably aren't in the mix but a guy like Scianetti could be considered.... I think I'd be happy if Rob Black was just not involved in the CFL at all...
-
New Bombers coach O'Shea doing everything possible to control the message
Does anyone know which other CFL teams employ this method of communication? Huff in Calgary... Milo in Tor? (suspected) Jones in Edm? (suspected) I would guess Austin is the same way in Hammy
-
New Bombers coach O'Shea doing everything possible to control the message
You're 100% bang on... first thought I had was "I like how he's comparing this tactic to Kelly rather than someone like Marc Trestman"... it helps strengthen his very weak point
-
Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members
That's a lot of cap movement in 4 years.... to go from $4.4M in 2013 to $6M in 2017... definitely not realistic... I could see starting around $5M and moving up $100k per year to get to $5.4M after 5 years

Madani: CFLPA Recommends Strike Vote To Members
When I joined twitter a few years ago I started following him cuz I thought he'd have good CFL info.... this is the reason why it took about a week before I unfollowed
