Man I'm a stubborn prick on this subject.

Really ? I hadn't noticed.

MMQB's Steinberg seems to think Hefney is going to Calgary... EDIT, he actually got that from the Calgary Sun:

 

 

 

 

A report from the Calgary Sun had the Stampeders interested in Jonathan Hefney after his release from the Bombers over the weekend.

Apparently its down to Edmonton, Calgary and Montreal according to Ed Tait

he's already got a bonus this year... so money-wise, he's laughing wherever he signs

I don't see Hef as a SAM LB........he's just not physical enough to stand up to the pounding that the position requires, really don't blame him for telling Burke to stuff it.

well if he's a bust for whatever team signs him, then Mack and Burke are justified... but on the other hand, if he plays good football...

The play of the guys we kept will be more important in determining the soundness of this move than what Hefney does elsewhere.

Alright, time to calm down a bit.  You're starting to sound like some of the whiners around here. You don't need that...

 

Agreed. It's a sore point with me, it has me grumbling and muttering like a grumpy old man.

 

I'm working on it.

That's an over-simplification. Another team's defensive system may be a better fit for Hefney.

what part of "his play dropped off so we cut him" is an oversimplification?

Burke also said:

"So I think you'll probably see him get picked up by somebody else. If they utilize him in a different role, he could probably be successful."

He's played SAM at times for this team before and been awesome at it though! Hell the best games of the 2011 season for the defense had Hefney at SAM. It's really a great fit for him,he was better than Kent there. 

My beef with Heff is the coaches made a decision & he should as a professional do as they want. If it doesn't work out, it's on them. All I know is Keon Raymond from the Stamps isn't a big player & he excels there. The Sam has turned into another db position anyway... Yeah, it's more physical to be sure playing there. But they thought he could handle it.

Signed with the Stamps.

Re: Hefney not listening to the coaches.......there was a great quote in the FP today from Jovon, talking about how much he's willing to do anything for the coaches. Said that if Dickenson wants him to return kicks, he will, and if he wants a 7-year vet (Jovon) to  get downfield on coverage, he's more than happy to do that as well. "Whatever it takes to win..." he said. If Hef had that attitude, he'd still be a Bomber....

It's like the Odell deal.  We'll have to bite our lips as he makes some big plays early on and the Bombers get ripped.  But in the end we know we're better off without him. 

 

The thing is, and I think this is especially true the way sports are covered, the winners write history.  So if the Bombers suck again and the Stamps are good again the Hefney story will be jammed down our throats.  If the Bombers improve the coaches having the courage to cut Hef will be talked up way beyond its relevance.

yeah and we saw that last year too with Johnson volunteering to play SAM even though he was a terrible fit, giving it a try at safety because they needed someone there. Guy is willing to do whatever the team asks him and that's the attitude that every player needs to have.

Yep.  Hefney now a Stampeder.

Wouldn't do it here .. but has no problem doing the same for another team .. smells like someone was fishing for his release.

According to Sun Media's Ian Busby Jonathan Hefney will play SAM Thursday for #Stampeders. Position he did not want to play for #Bombers

 

Perhaps he knows now that saying he doesn't want to play a position will get him cut?

Joe Pascucci ‏@Pascucci0151m

Hufnagel not prepared to say where they plan on playing Hefney. "We'll see how he does at SAM Linebacker."  Guess Hef didn't say no to that.

Now he's playing SAM? Doche. Hope he trys to steal Lewis's Baconators and gets knocked out.

that, is unreal.. how does he pull **** like this? i just lost a ton of respect for him.. too good to play it here but gladly does it in calgary?

sickening.. classless ******..

****** is right.
