Jesse

He 100% does not fit on our team. I think he’d be perfect behind Mitchell, Harris, MBT or maybe even with Masoli (who seems to do better with an occasional assist).

CoFaj just needs to accept his role as a Prukop/Streveler type of player and play behind an immobile QB such as Mitchell or Harris and play within a designed package. He would be very effective playing with Mitchell, who needs a partner to help keep his reps down and shoulder healthy over a full season.

Not just the waggle. All of his big plays came off of broken plays where he found open field and Collaros found him. He might not have tape of him beating coverage with speed or route running.

Definitely possible

Walters made a comment during his interview about needing to move on from 1-2 older guys per year to avoid having to replace more all at once. The article is just extending that thought. It’s not a terrible premise. When I read it, it never once occurred to me that Hodge was suggesting the Bombers move on from Bryant. It’s not a big leap to wonder about the intentions of a 37 year old football player.

Well, you said he needs to "smoke more crack" and that it was "a really bad reach" - the only thing that would be a reach is if Hodge said the Bombers should move on. Hodge clearly states that the prospect of losing Stanley would be his decision, not the Bombers: "Bryant is the oldest of the bunch as he will turn 37 by the time next season rolls around. I spoke with him during Grey Cup week and he described his future as a “year-to-year thing” that depends on his mind, body, and family situation"

He just brought him up as one of a handful of aging vets who haven't been signed yet. Certainly never suggested the Bombers should move on from him.

Or has Speedflex been Dave Ritchie the entire time ?!?!?!? If we're starting down that road, Collaros' play-off performances haven't been spectacular either.

It is obviously a money decision, but we have to stay under the salary cap. Hard choices, man.

Unfortunately, we don’t have the option of sign all stars at every position.

I'd also be open to bringing in a Global to compete at one of the positions. Taking something off Legg's plate might help him out.

Mark Washington is their DC?

Coaching staff looks solid. Now it comes down to the QB...

off season, baby.

Except that the GM is also a lame duck, so the new GM will start from scratch next year anyway. With no QB, and a shitty OL, the only OC they're going to get is a new candidate like their RB coach who has nothing to lose.

Such a dumb decision to retain them.

I think Rose has a better season next year. Our DBs are going to be lights out, regardless. Need to figure out DL and LB pieces though.

Isn’t it too late at that point?

I think we have a handful of guys who have shown themselves more than capable. Like Booch has been saying, his age may be working against him.

Everyone just re-sharing the original report that they had agreed to terms. Nothing official was every confirmed. It's still just a matter of time. And speaking of time....does anyone know when the NFL window for workouts is? When should we start being hopeful that Schoen might stick around?

I'm thinking it's more of a case of he's in a good position with his whole career ahead of him and has the luxury of waiting for a good opportunity. No reason to rush to enter a tire fire. Thinking anything other than that is probably a case of some extra-thick blue and gold goggles.

I personally don't see the timeline working out like that.

The moves don’t make sense to me at all. They’re not promotions, they’re completely different jobs.

It means there’s a year left on his contract and Farhan wants to make up some garbage gossip.

I'd argue that even in the worst case scenario it wouldn't be a mistake. Because what alternative would be have if Zach retired tomorrow? Dru Brown, Prukop, and bring in the developmental guy - we're gonna have that anyway.
