Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

Jeremy O'Day taking the Taman approach of loading up on aging name players and crossing his fingers.

 

The average age of that team must be about 35

And some of them can remember dinosaurs.

 

Not sure about Figueroa ...   don't see how they can afford to keep Foucault...  I think a very good OL could shake loose after TC

That D front seven is not going to scare anyone...  better hope Reilly scores 30+ every game

I just don't see the sense of cutting Elimimian and keeping guys like Willis, Carter 

That BC roster doesn't impress me we all... 

Yeah that roster is far from impressive. But if anyone can make it work, it's Mike Reilly. Lots of holes though.

Their defense is going to give up a lot of points. Other than Burnham there isn't a real deep threat. Durant never was a full time starter with the Stamps & is really a possession receiver. He doesn't beat anyone deep. Maybe he'll have a break out season starting for the first time & with Reilly throwing the deep ball.  Who knows what Carter can do as he is a total eff up.

Where?

DE, DT, S, C, SB, CB.

That's not " a lot". Centre is a competition with the 2 incumbents from last year.  Don't agree with DT. We need a proven DT. 

Training camp will plug what few holes are there. Extremely please with the new coaching staff and who Hervey has brought in. 

I see BC brought in QB Austin Apodaca, a Bomber TC cut from 2017 who looked fairly promising.  

Also looks like they lost Ty Long to the L.A. Chargers, so they'll be heading into camp with no experienced kickers unless they pick up the Riders recent table scraps.

They should have signed Lankford as a kicker!

Already signed by the RB's.

Who’s going bring down his Hail Marys?

Essentially the entire defence, IMO. Definitely got some talent on offence but I don't see anything at DE or LB worth getting excited about. Your secondary is a who's who of "who?"

Burnham & Carter. Burnham is super dangerous. 

BC needs veteran leadership at punter.

Yeah their offence will still be very good
