Jaxon Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I don't get taking 3 FB's. I'd love to hear the REDBLACKS explanation for this. I'm sure that all teams protected their OL as best they could, but there had to be more available than this. I really wish that the CFL had published the lists. I understand that they were trying to protect the feelings of players who may have been left unprotected, but they needed to balance this off against the entertainment value to the fans. We love to analyze, discuss, and debate the moves. This is the entertainment business, and I feel that the league missed the opportunity to exploit this rare situation.

M.O.A.B. Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hahahahahahahaha James Green!!! it pays to be super thin. Who are they going to pick from us in the next round? The contractual rights to Brian Guebert? we need to sign Matt Sheridan asap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks Mike. Bombers came thru that round looking good. Stamps are going to miss J'Micheal Deane as he played well last season in & out of the lineup with injuries. I know Alex Krausnick. His wife just had a baby. He told me last night that he wanted to stay in Edmonton but will take whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Bombers are so thin at Canadian talent, this draft is really going to cripple us Ottawa selects James Green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Kgroh isn't that good... Looks like TO decided keeping was more valuable than eppele Lavoie is the only real surprise... Well and green, ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Blue Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 How will we recover from this devastating loss? Who will decide heads or tails at the coin toss? Shoot we're never gonna know which one to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I hope Ottawa talked to Green (though that may be "tampering") - doesn't he usually retire every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Pontbraind should start packing his bags. Yeah they seem to be in love with fullbacks. Maybe Jesse Lumsden has a chance at a comeback with Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valderan_CA Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Kgroh isn't that good... Looks like TO decided keeping was more valuable than eppele Lavoie is the only real surprise... Well and green, ha Lavoie isn't that much of a surprise, he was really good for the Alouettes in 2012 (their offense didn't use him at all this year but I don't think that was his fault) Green however.... really makes you wonder what we protected (and that they are really sticking to their guns about not taking free agents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm wondering if the Bombers could give some guys to the REDBLACKS if they don't get selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pulled his groin while trying to answer the phone. Duncan OMahoney tripped and broke his toe on the way to the can. So that's two kickers that are no longer eligible.

Mr. Perfect Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I love how Desjardins said his picks should be obvious, then he goes and takes three fullbacks. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Maybe that's why the CFL wouldn't publish the list. To protect Desjardins from the fans in Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Bombers have 16 Canadians left that are on the roster now that are not FA so 4 will be left unprotected more like 5 or-6 if a couple FA are protected. Pickens will be slim from Bombers in the 3rd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think they might have been surprised that lavoie was left unprotected... Guess delahunt must be the 'hometown' pick So far I'd be surprised if even half of these guys are on the roster by 2015... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
