GCn20 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I have not heard one inkling of a rumor that Awe is a locker room problem of any sort. Is he dirty? Perhaps. Is he a good football player? yep. FIFO is more about fitting in the locker room. We have had players who are a bit dirty before. This is not new and they fit FIFO just fine. I don't see Awe as being a head case, or taking dumb penalties because of brain cramps. His dirtiness is more a result of being nasty, and coaches and team mates can overlook that.

BigBlue Posted July 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 With Montreal first firing Tre Watson and then signing Michael Awe, MOS and company showed no committed interest to hiring either one of them. Bringing veterans in mid season just does not seem to be the Bombers style. Develop, develop and develop from the start of the season opener's roster. Only Castilio comes to my mind in recent times. Go Clements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Clements! I suspect that Awe was approached and a contract was drawn up before Tre was released- Tre got picked up by the "L"ks before the Bombers knew for certain that Wilson was going to be out for an extended period of time. Sucks, but that's how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that nichols has officially retired I wonder if he signs a 1 day to retire as a bomber? I’m kinda thinking he won’t but I’m sure the mafia would oblige.

BigBlue Posted July 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Ottawa acquiring Arbuckle from Edmonton may be Lapo's salvation. He can shape him better there is more talent to work with.

BigBlue Posted July 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 https://www.ottawaredblacks.com/2022/07/11/redblacks-acquire-qb-nick-arbuckle-from-elks/ The Ottawa REDBLACKS have traded their fourth-round selection in the 2023 CFL Draft to the Edmonton Elks, in exchange for quarterback Nick Arbuckle, the team announced today. “We’re pleased to be able to add Nick to our locker room at this point of the season,” said REDBLACKS General Manager Shawn Burke. “He’s an experienced player in our league and we look forward to having him on our side as a member of the RNation family.” Arbuckle, 28, is a veteran of four CFL seasons, having signed with the Calgary Stampeders in 2017, and winning a Grey Cup with the team the following season. He briefly joined the REDBLACKS in 2020 via trade, but with the season lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, Arbuckle moved on to the Toronto Argonauts, and was traded to the Elks in 2021. All told, the Oxnard, California native has appeared in 48 CFL games, completing 361 passes for 4,297 yards, and 19 touchdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
