First time in 29 years where the off season is a not a time to be bemoaning a missed Grey Cup- how sweet it is.

 

Figured we can park all Blue Bomber going ons for this off-season here in this thread.

 

Starting with this:

 

 

 

Let's get this guy Locked up for the foreseeable future...

Arizona Cardinals GM Steve Keim gushes about Chris Streveler’s athleticism

“Not only his ability to throw the football and to do some of those things that have been impressive during camp, but his athleticism — the guy runs in the 4.4s, he’s physical, he’s got nice size, so there’s some potential to play on special teams as well.”
Keim admitted he knew on Friday how many quarterbacks and which ones would be on the Cardinals final 53-man active roster, but he wouldn’t spill the beans.

Happy for Streveler, hope he gets a chance. Three former Bomber quarterbacks on the team.... Clements is a coach, so, that is my NFL team now.

He’ll do well there. No doubt.

He has officially done it 

 

 

 

That's so awesome! 

 

I can't wait until the 9ers bury him next week. But, I still hope he's the "only bright spot on the Cardinals roster."

He had a chance to leave. Stable job for life, working at home and he chose to stay. Love him for that. 

Amd let's not forget Miller tied himself to Walters. That takes nerve to just say, I'm sticking with him.

Injuries. Everyone is injured. And even fewer available this week.

They got Streveler'd!

For those that think the GMs are sitting around with a thumb up their ass.... a good convo with Kyle Walters and The Taiter...

Wasn't sure where to post this, but Paul Friesen (I know, I know...) has done up, essentially, an oral history of the Bombers run to the Grey Cup, starting with the trade deadline deal to bring in Collaros..

If you need a chuckle, this is it.

 

“A fracture in the ankle and a severe high-ankle sprain,” were the disturbing words Chris Streveler heard from athletic therapist Al Couture on Oct. 20 of last year. “You’re going to be out for the season.”The healing time: eight 

Streveler hasn’t revealed the extent of his injury until now, a full 12 months later.

Next Sunday in Part 3 of our series: Streveler dives into rehab.

Geez, it seems like so long ago...

 

Our man Tait is going to have a series of great articles surrounding the "Run To The Cup" last year........
