in 5 NFL seasons (45 games played) he had 67 catches for 852 yards and 5 TDs... decent and effective as a NFL receiver... we'll never know how he'd be as a CFL receiver until we see it...

If Hall were to retire... the guy I wanted to replace him is apparently going to Toronto... so I'm fine with him staying...

I wonder if maybe Buck calls the plays but the overall offense will be a joint effort between Buck, Costanza, and Bourgoin.... gives him an opportunity to add some of his ideas to the mix... I suspect Buck (just a hunch, not trying to claim any personal knowledge) is a guy that's open to collaboration...

I'd love to agree with you... but unfortunately, you're wrong... by the rule, that's 100% an incomplete pass... I remember watching the game and when I saw the replay immediately said "****, that's an incomplete pass"... if we had gone on to lose... it would be the dropped Sayles INT (just knock the f***ing ball down!) on 3rd and 10 that would haunt us...

I didn't see this anywhere and thought it warranted it's own thread: https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/01/21/bombers-unveil-offensive-coaching-staff/ – Buck Pierce has been promoted to the offensive coordinator role while also continuing to serve as quarterbacks coach. – Kevin Bourgoin shifts from running backs coach to receivers coach. – Pete Costanza joins the coaching staff as the new running backs coach. – As well, the Bombers are pleased to announce that Marty Costello will remain in his role as the offensive line coach and will be heading into his fifth season with the team in 2020.

I see on the old twitter that Lirim Hijrulahu has been released for NFL opportunities... seems surprising?

would that be non-non-imports? Integrity? He managed to horse collar a guy and not get called for it... is that considered a specialized skill?

Is that the same company?... I can't remember the source now (possibly the 3Down article) but it said the company is not publicly traded and financials are not available...

I thought I read the company was privately held and the financials were not available?

you're simply mistaken... Campbell is a defensive coach...

This is exactly right.... IF they have acquired a future franchise QB... first overall means nothing...

Also: Brandon Zylstra, Carolina: 6 REC, 96 YDS

No... considering he doesn’t work for tsn anymore...

I'm not sure why anyone would bother getting upset about this... he's just making guesses... outside of the re-signings, I'm sure most of these will be wrong anyways...

Exactly right... if you listen to Milt he always says things like “my bombers” and “Winnipeg, the greatest city in Canada”... but he’s paid to be impartial... if you work for tsn you’re contractually obligated to lick the nuts of the leafs and riders... I’m glad Milt isn’t a ridiculously unabashed homer...

Randle was acquired via trade... but it’s still a credit to our scouting since Calgary wasn’t utilizing him and we saw him as a shut down corner...

Is this a prediction for the year of the next riders grey cup?... seems accurate

Let's be honest... his hatred of the Riders is the real reason we all love @Zontar...

His rookie deal would be at least two, possibly three, years... someone else posted (sorry I forget who it was) that they met Oliveira and he said he’s healthy and ready to go...

True... and these players were all CFL superstars...

That's true to an extent... but we've never really seen a true NFL superstar, in their prime, compete in the CFL... Most guys who have come to the CFL and failed are not, and probably never were, at the level of the list that I quoted...

In my opinion (or I’m just guessing) this isn’t really the intent of this question... of course the superstars in the nfl would be superstars in the cfl... I think he was wondering what secondary/mid level guys would excel in the cfl... a few guys off the top of my head... bills Qb Josh Allen (and he may still become an nfl superstar) would be dominant in the cfl... NYJ DE/LB CJ Mosley... Steelers rb/wr Jaylen Samuels... even Taysom Hill who has been discussed here a lot as the nfl streveler... mostly guys that are extremely athletic and versatile...

I actually recall most people around here saying that Edm got worse last off season... going from Reilly to Harris...

I'd agree with you but also add that that was the toughest game for the Bombers... that was probably more just the Bombers being off than the riders being great... but still, this Bombers team absolutely dismantled Calgary and Hamilton and struggled against Sask...

I hope we can keep our young* defensive coaching staff intact... *Glenn Young and Jordan Younger
