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.

 

Somebody always need to complain. Floyd wanted konar for 2 years and 300k

Of all the new additions this off season, I predict Jordan Younger will have the most impact.

130k for a starter seems pretty reasonable... or are you still salty that Heath priced himself off the team?

Not if we replaced him with a Tommie Campbell or that caliber HB

Fenner looked really good in his first half-season... like amazing

Last season, he was pretty meh - maybe it was the system but we're very close to reuniting a HB/CB duo that I only remember seeing get whipped like a rented mule last year...

Now we have two Kevin Foggs.

$80-100k value signing for Fenner I'm fine with it - I would have rather spent this $$ on Westerman (or has he signed already?)

an interesting note about all these former Lions signings......

Three former #BCLions defensive backs have signed with the #Bombers over the last three weeks. Who knows what they're made of? Former Lions scout @RyanRigmaiden joined Winnipeg in December as their new U.S. National scout.

Also need a front 7 guy from Laval...any front 7 guy from Laval will do.

Aww look the usual suspects are now making up 'stuff that Floyd said'...  never saw that coming

Walters got Demski and Lafrance and dumped Hurl just like I asked...  I won't fault the guy for overpaying Fenner

Now Westerman or Gascon-Nadon please.

We will probably cut our major penalties in half without Westerman.  I like Jackson Jeffcoat.

Wonder if Jake Thomas ends up back here.

WOw... I am really.... REALLY excited for this year...

 

I don't think I have been this excited for a bomber season.

 

 

                                 

 

                               

 

          

 

 

           

 

 

 

           

 

Fenner is very solid and for that price a very good cap friendly contract.

I still think his leadership role outweighed the penalties.

I like Jeffcoat too but I'd rather not fully rely on Neufeld/Couture for our ratio...  minor issue.  Probably.

If things don't work out on the offensive line we can still look at starting Corney/Faith on the defensive line.   But i don't think it will come to that as I have faith in Couture if Nuefeld gets injured.

Couture Neufeld Spooner.. Likely a draft pick.

The only problem is that this assumed Chung and Goosen will be healthy all year.  We definitely need to draft another offensive lineman in the first round  IMO.

Feel like Fenner is SAM insurance or they are anticipating Leggett starts season on IR.  That’s a lot of DBs.

MO back to S, fenner at sam loffler to LB dare to dream. 

It was quite remarkable to get Demski and LaFrance.

Something  lacking for a long time was having local players on the team.

You could chalk OL into the highest need in draft preparations for every team in the league every year.  Its nearly impossible to go wrong drafting OL. It may not go right, a better player at another position may crop up after the OL. But no one will question the pick of an OL if they are close to that pick range in talent.  I feel like we are in a great spot in terms of NI talent and young ni talent on the OL. We can grab positional needs, BPA, highest potential and or futures. 

There will likely be flexibility barring injury to go to 3 imports if things got hairy on the OL.

That’s all I mean - a cdn DE eases the ratio

But who are you willing to subtract in order to pay for that easing? Fenner and Bowman?

Was he intimating that Walters and O'Shea were drinking heavily?

Don’t need to subtract both - fenner or fogg and gaitor or Clarke

i would have picked Westerman over dressler tbh

By now they should be...
