    Both right and wrong imo. He was sub par for a fb / teams specialist no matter the passport. Taking a di spot only made it soo much worse. If he had become a strong kick cover guy and been a mike sellers blocking it’s a different story. 
     

    Yep Wilson and barriere. I’d be stunned if we didn’t break camp with Eric Barriere as qb3/pr. He smashed Nichols and blms records at eastern Washington a powerhouse developmental pipe line for the cfl. He had a bunch of nfl looks and interest. Blue chip passing prospect. 
     Terry Wilson is no slouch either. 4 star recruit headed for Nebraska who flipped to Oregon. Red shirted then Oregon fired coach frost and the team wanted to go in a different direction. Went to juco then to Kentucky then COVID hit and ended in New Mexico. More raw version of stevy. Strong dual threat qb with great tools.

     We also have a qb who converted to wr for nfl looks iirc but had a great career too dont know if he’s planned for wr or qb. If not we might bring in one more camp arm but with the Canadian we will get from cis they might not be needed. 

    Great thanks for the info. Streveler only signed a 1 year deal, so hopefully one or both of these guys can develop into a keeper!

    Grown men going on about stuff that happened months ago. You got the one guy who won’t be happy unless he’s the coach, you got others pretending they weren’t sauced watching the game on the TV. Seems fitting. 
     

    The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
    Not a footprint to be seen
    A kingdom of isolation
    And it looks like I'm the queen

    The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
    Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried
    Don't let them in, don't let them see
    Be the good girl you always have to be
    Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
    Well, now they know

    Let it go, let it go
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it go, let it go
    Turn away and slam the door
    I don't care what they're going to say 

     

    because it’s time Grown adults to let it go. 

    Is that Anna or Elsa singing that??!!

    As of right now, I would imagine it’s going to be Parker on one corner, Holm and Nichols playing the HB spots and then another corner and a safety spot up for grabs. I don’t think we go Canadian at safety, I would assume they see Kramdi and Lawson as the starting Canadians on our D.

    Marquise Bridges and Travon Fuller are both guys I like, although I don’t see either one of them really being able to play safety. Fuller would be my early bet to be a standout at corner for us, very rangy player, good length. 

    Marcus Hillman seems like a safety candidate. Don’t really know much about him, but that’s the body type and 8 sacks as a DB in one year seems … like he must’ve been playing safety against some horrible teams 

    We've got both of the Hallet brothers signed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Nick play safety?? I recall him at safety last year. Noah has a bad knee and I'm surprised that he's coming back.

    Maybe I'm drunk ( I am) but anyone else think the jake Thomas signing is 1000% for character and character alone. Dude knows what it's like to be a blue bomber.

    To me it's interesting that we applaud this organization for having character guys, yet now when we sign character it's upsetting.

    4 grey cups in a row guys. We can have our oshea roster doubts. Let's trust Walter's to do his job.

    If Walter's says Thomas adds value.. I'm behind him

    4 GREY CUPS in a row. 2 plays away from winning 4 straight. Man I get the resentment, I do. But Thomas was signed for a reason. Maybe a reason we don't understand yet. We've been given no reason to over analyze yet.. this ain't previous regimens..

    My first 28 years of life on this earth we didn't win a grey cup. Now we've been there 4x straight and it seems like a good portion of this board is ready to jump ship like it never happened. I get that we need to be critical but let's reserve that until we haven't made a grey cup lol. Seriously. We were in the conversation to be the worst pro franchise in sports. Everyone hold their horses. These guys know what they are doing

    We have people on this website ( and I mean this respectfully) who think they know better than the management who has brought us to where we are now.

    - and to those people who know better. Where are your grey cup rings and why aren't you coaching pro football? It's easy to be critical like friesen when you ain't making the calls..

    To winning a grey cup that dodged us for 29 years... shessh man. Do we not remember where we were just a few years ago?

    well said young fella

    I feel like too many people are still trapped in the drought. They don't believe that the Bombers can actually be good. Every loss is a harbinger of doom. Every interception is Zach getting too old, every sack is the OL deteriorating. Ignoring the fact that we still placed first in almost every meaningful statistical category for the past 3 seasons. 

    We are a great team. Period. Full stop.

    There are areas we can improve. First glance of the off season (early signings and coaching changes) shows me we are committed to making those improvements. 

    This post is exactly what I see when I watch a game with the people ive been sth with for years. 1 pick, 1 long pass completed against us and chicken little and the sky had fallen. I don't know how many times I've told people to calm down!!

  23. Which Vets do we cut next season

    Breaking down the offence. I generally want things to stay the same/can't see better options out there. Big question with Schoen, small question with Brady. I would really, really like to see some young OL just take jobs and turn our front into a bigger force again. Will need some investment in WR and OL next year for development and depth. Might need the next developmental QB, too.

    Quarterbacks:

    Zach - ***** all you guys want, he's going no where. 

    Dru Brown - heard some interesting things lately. I'm more open to the idea he might come back than I was earlier in the season. 

    Runningback:

    Brady - obviously want him back, but he's put a little fly in the ointment on that one. Would need a new starter if he left.

    Offensive Line:

    Stan - coin flip on if he retires. I bet a lot of the vets are going to make this decision together. I feel he'll be back

    Neuf - Kind of a prime retirement candidate. Does he do what Stan does?

    Kolankowski - I'm done with this experiment.

    Gray - Don't have enough bodies to replace the whole interior, if it comes to that.

    Hardrick - He'll play until they rip the jersey off his back. No one will do that.

    Eli - Need him to have the off season of his life and force his way onto the starting roster

    Dobson - Same. Put up or shut up time. 

    Receivers:

    Kenny - Paid way too much for next year, but he can be best. Need him to play a full season next year tho. No more crap.

    Schoen - Grey Cup notwithstanding, he's a beast. When Zach is able to be mobile in the pocket, no one is more dangerous.

    Bailey - another team friendly deal? We may need some rookie salaries in the rest of the receiving core.

    Demski/Woli - all signed up already?

    BOO - Probably moves onto another opportunity if he can, but bring him back if we can

    ________ - I wish we had a guy this year that I could look forward to next year. Recruiting fail at receiver this year. 

    I'd be absolutely stunned if Brady left. Can see him making 250k or more next year with us.
