Well, I am a big fan of CFL vets and I think we have cut the wrong vets at times... but maybe its time to get even younger, this sure seems like another rebuild year.

 

JJ - have to say, it looks like hes lost a step, might as well put Markett in, JJ can win his job back if he wants it

Labbe - his whole schtick is Special Teams - but he is a weak link now, I cant forget that pathetic fake in preseason, this game he was a nonfactor - who replaces him though...

Morley - costly penalty, maybe the preseason antics were more a sign that he cant keep up...

Edwards - never thought I would even suggest this but but maybe its time to transition to player coach... wouldnt cut him outright but too many waggle penalties, not enough practice and the refs all know he plays up the PI, its not working anymore

 

And, of course, Buck... but thats another thread.

 

I wanna see some Doug Pierce. I think that guy is going to be in our offense for a while.

At this point Edwards is pretty much just the veteran leadership out there and I don't have a problem with it. Matthews is clearly the #1 guy right now. 

With Etienne catching up.

re: Jovon's PI -- the call should have been a wash, because AB3 was interfering as much as JJ was. As for the premise of this thread, I actually burst out laughing. All through Joe Mack's tenure, all I've heard from Bomber fans is how we're too young. Not enough vet presence. Now we're too old? Get lost...you need a good combo, and I think we have that this year. The team showed a lot of good things last night that are being overshadowed by the fact that we didn't get 2pts. We're going to surprise a lot of people this year and win a lotta games...

 

We're already the youngest team in the league - again.  Let's just go with it finally.

 

I'm not a fan of Mack's continuous baby boom... but getting rid of Labbe and Morley is inevitable - either now or the off-season.  TE is just about done - transition him to player/coach... and do you really think we'll even blink if Markett replaces JJ?

 

It will surprise me if we get a lot of wins... we'll have a lot of competitive losses imo.  I would just rather get a rebuild out of the way instead of pretending we haven't been in rebuild mode for the last four years.

I don't think that's true anymore.
