do or die Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well, after the latest slow start or series of mental breakdowns.....Lapo always mentioned the need to talk to the players about this and that........but the basic problem was, nobody was listening or seemed to pay any attention. Whether you believe in Burke or not.....at least he is walking the walk..... after talking about getting rid of people who wouldn't get on with (the new) program. I suspect when he now tells people something.....he has a bit more attention. Sadly, Hefney had the perfect opportunity for a fresh slate, this season.... with new contract and bonus......but between refusing to shift position, yet again....and not giving management a heads up on the pot bust .....when he was already breathing thin air......simply deep-sixed himself. btw.....the bright side....both Sears and Washington can ball....more size and speed, out there.....

Guest Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Man I'm a stubborn prick on this subject. Really ? I hadn't noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 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.

bluto Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 he's already got a bonus this year... so money-wise, he's laughing wherever he signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigseye Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play of the guys we kept will be more important in determining the soundness of this move than what Hefney does elsewhere. johnzo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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... That's an over-simplification. Another team's defensive system may be a better fit for Hefney. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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. Blue-urns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saskbluefan Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hef had that attitude, he'd still be a Bomber.... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ted Wyman @Ted_Wyman7m 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
