Jpan85 Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 Comparing Mike Miller to Wayne Greztky and Micheal Jordan is a little over the top. After being undrafted, they did not have to scrap their way to make a professional roster. Miller is the perfect candidate to coach.

Specifically, he coached and trained Kwame brown extensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Als cut him last summer. He was at the SC pro day again this year thinking some how he was going to get back to an NFL shot. Said he was up here in the cfl for a year and a half, and some stuff about nothing like being state side. I don't take any of it too seriously especially at his alma mater, but I mean the guy played 2 games here. He's got some decent athleticism and talent. I think he's kind of stuck between dt and de here. Might fit our 2nd dt role well like casey sayles did. But I don't think he's a guy you could have out there with jake thomas or another none nose tackle. Good body for camp, high character high motor guy. 2 hours ago, SpeedFlex27 said: It was the coach's decision to play him in the Grey Cup. I wasn't specifically talking about the last GC. A ton of small changes or improvements would have put us over the top. 1 hour ago, Booch said: Dunnigan....tho he had way too much to do as a first timer and a poor one...same with prob 6 other guys...some injured...some just having no business being rostered 54 minutes ago, GCn20 said: Dunigan also had the misfortune of having an absolute wingnut of an owner. I actually thought Matty would've been fine in a more limited role. Especially as a QB coach. Maybe even as HC or front office guy. He did have a strong eye for talent and he built the foundations of the evil empire that followed. Magic also flopped at coaching, and mike singletary too. Ted williams in baseball was miserable as a bench boss as well. The old saying "those who can do, those who can't teach" might be more factual in the reverse. "Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you can teach it." BigBlueFanatic and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnipegGordo Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 I compared the training camp roster handout vs the roster on the Bombers' website and 4 players are missing on the handout. There is no mention anywhere they are no longer on the team: WR 72 Braxton Burmeister DT 92 Kenneth Randall DB 13 James Campbell DB 46 Montrae Braswell (there is a 13 on defence but its Bill Hackett) Also did anyone know that Winnipeg Rifles runningback Kaiden Banfield is participating in camp? He's number 30. wbbfan, JCon and rebusrankin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said it’s sad that in the early 2ks and prior we got great tc reports from a couple sources each day, and now we get the odd one that is a fraction as good.

Goalie Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) CJOB talking bombers during the day also. Honestly. The 2 best kinda don’t do it anymore, tait and Irving so we are left with guys like friesen and the sorts who have wrote some interesting not as negatively spinned articles about players. I think I saw a Streveler interview where he talks about his ex gf in Winnipeg having the fur coat. I saw an article about kj hill and how Austin Mack kinda convinced him to give the cfl a try. I mean not bad for a little rookie camp. Edited May 11 by Goalie rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he was told to stop the BS. I think he’s been generally positive about the team since the drought ended. Not sure how true, but I’ve heard over the years Friesen was butthurt about having to cover football instead of curling. Would explain a lot of the snark towards the Bombers.
