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.

 

YAAAAY!!!!

Im thinking Nichols Durant and either Straughan or the other new QB. Think Straughan is highly thought of tho. .

This is the end of The Fever. 

Could be the end of davis as well.

Hopefully so.

I'd like to see him back in camp just in case Josh Straughan and Philip Nelson aren't good enough to fill the number 3 role.

Where do we find the nutless monkeys? Or do we just buy wholesale monkeys and have to do the job ourselves.

I'm thinking that a barrel of girl monkeys might be the simplest solution.

The best part of that article is the comments section.

Bombers sign three; Steven Clarke, Tylor Henry, & Brendan Morgan. Didn't Morgan have an injury issue that put him out of action for last season?

I thought they cut Morgan last season.

Ty Henry was here before, too, wasn't he? 

Henry was cut before main camp last year.  Morgan was released before camp... Edmonton picked him late last year but he finished the season on their PR.

Are you sure about Morgan?  I thought he was around for awhile and they cut him to fit Branning on the roster.

They cut him before TC last year. IIRC, he missed the end of the 2015 season with an injury. I thought he was cut b/c he still hadn't recovered in time for last year's camp.

Morgan was cut May 17th.

Makes sense.

Henry was also cut due to injury.

 

Nothing wrong with competition but I'd rather see Rupert Butcher and Intzandt get another shot

Can't think of too many teams that lock up their 6th, 7th and 8th round picks from the previous year - interesting move

They'd likely struggle at receiver and/or db.

Ottawa scooped up Intzandt last season and he's still with them.

Butcher I don't know what he's doing... I don't think he played football this past year but I could be wrong.

So will Henry and Morgan...

I thought Henry was a good sleeper pick, but then he got hurt. I'm interested to see how he'll do this year. The highlight of Morgan's career so far was being the only guy I've seen O'Shea lose it on during a game.

I knew the name sounded familiar.   weird to bring him back then.... fodder?

Oh I didn't realize he got hurt.   then that signing makes more sense.
