Bomber Moves 2018

December 11, 20178 yr

Sorry but I don't like the total silence coming out of Bomberville, but that's just me; I like action and news like all of you. Yes we've extended a contract or two and we are distributing the year-end money before the 2018 salary cap comes in.

But what are the deep thinkers in our organization planning to do?

I hope they are not thinking status quo; that never seems to work out well. Unless we are dedicated to making sharp improvements here and there, I believe we atrophy from last year.

After the 2017 NFL cuts were made did we bring in any linebackers for a sniff? I saw other prospects up here but maybe I missed something.

We have got to fix what's broken and I think somehow management must know more than we do ... we are good prognosticators with our comments on this site but I would like management to show us up.

We are not hearing a lot of news out of the Calgary and Edmonton football clubs so maybe our Blue Bombers are an elite club now (as we join those two in their silence).

But man I hate twiddling my thumbs as I wait to see what our local gurus are going to do. No news is bad news, say the bored ... Well at least were not coming off seasons like Ottawa Hamilton and Montréal had.

So maybe I should be grateful for our club and its management.

Say what you will about Mike O'Shea but no one can ever overstate how valuable he has been in turning around the perception and culture of this franchise.

TSN1290 reporting that SK offered the most money, but he chose Winnipeg.

As per 3rddown,

TJ Heath isn't happy with how negotiations are proceeding on his new contract.

hopefully this is a blip and they hash it out, I'd hate to lose Heath. one of the brighter stars on that side of the ball.

I wouldn't be upset if we didn't bring Heath back. Wouldn't want to break the bank for him and if we can get Randle and Leggett back instead I wouldn't be ok on us walking on Heath. He's a good play maker and has good instincts on the ball but gets beat way too much. He has the sexy stats but if he's looking for elite money the Bombers won't give it to him because his flaws can be exposed on film. For the right price I'd like him back but I doubt he signs based on what he thinks his value is based on numbers compared to what he's actually worth.

Interesting comment about Heath freelancing and guys having to cover for him. Does that help explain some big play blown coverages. Here I thought it was all the DCs fault and poor schemes?

The only problem with Leggett is his injury. Torn Achilles is a bad injury. Hard not to lose a step after suffering that. Will he be the same player?

Interesting tidbit in a recent Doug Brown article.....said that some teammates don't like Heath because he "freelances" out there and so others have to cover up for him all the time...

huh. that I did not know and I could see how that would piss off people, especially when you are one of the "vets" in the secondary and should be looking to cover for the rookies... not hoping they will cover for you.

Jordan Younger - defensive backs

Glen Young – linebackers and defensive line

The club will not renew the contracts of defensive line coach Todd Howard, and defensive backs coach Tony Missick. The remaining coaching will return in their respective roles for the 2018 season.

So your defensive line was pretty good, and your linebackers were turrible. Seems like the most logical thing to do would be to let the d-line coach go and promote the linebackers coach...

Is that on Glenn Young? Would a different LB coach have made them all-stars? You know the answer.

Quality of performance on the field is not allways directly related to positional coaching, you can also have a guy whose a good positional coach but a poor fit.
