  • Hell I don't even know how good of an offensive coordinator Khari Jones is or isn't but as a shameless fanboi I want him involved in the winnipeg organization in some way. 

  • Can we just call a spade a spade and admit this really just boils down to your trademark impatience? It's the holiday season so news is going to be at a standstill and if the media reports are accurat

  • Randy Turner is an idiot. Always going for the cheap laugh.   As for Benevides, his desire to work will really be tested. He's got two years to sit at home collecting a paycheque if he wants to.

News 1130 Sports in Vancouver says Orlondo Steinauer has a no movement clause in his contract, so he won't be in the running for BC Lions Head Coach. 

 

I believe it was reported earlier as well that Noel Thorpe has the same situation.

So unless they are cut by their respective head coaches, they aren't going anywhere. That's takes them out of any HC and DC job openings.

I would be happy with Hall as Etchverry's replacement. Pick up the phone, Mr. O'Shea.

I don't know how many others would be tho... Kind of a parallel change up.. Mediocre for mediocre,.

Not sure why it's parallel , Ritchie Hall has a better understanding of defensive geometry than Etch does.

I'd take Hall, Benevides, and of course my first choice, Washington... are all upgrades over Etchevary. Saskatchewans defence was pretty damn good last year IMO.

 

When you have a QB like Sunseri or Joseph at QB everything else is going to look worse than it is.

Give Etch their DL to work with and our D would have looked much better.

Except Etch doesn't want big guys.  He wants small versatile guys, so he wouldn't even want them.

Our lines were virtually the same size. Chick is 250, Foley 256, & George is 277 at DT. That's almost identical size to Peach, Vega, & Bryant.

yeah the problem wasn't the size of the Bombers DL, it was skill, especially when Anderson got hurt. Vega had a terrible year and Peach should be a fill in at best.

Vega was a big let-down.  I hope there is lots of competition for his spot next season.

Etch now follows me on Twitter. He presumably liked all my "Etch needs to be fired" tweets :) lol

Riders defence was tracking to allow less points than 2013 prior to Durant getting hurt and the offence's inability to stay on the field.

Hard to blame the players when there is no playbook to follow.

I refuse to believe that Vega was healthy and played that badly. Had to be dinged up...he's better than that.

Vega told me he dealt with turf toe most of the season.

Well if Vega had turf toe here is the 411, turf toe last season....turf toe next season...ain't going away.

Turf toe settles down and can be managed in the offseason..

Count me as one who felt vega was not.himself and it showed

Mine went away.  411.  But hey, continually stating shoot-from-the-hip opinions as facts...mazel tov!

Turf toe definitely goes away but can take up to a year to do so.

What do your linebackers weigh?

We could tell you...but then we'd have to kill you...

If O'Shea really wants Washington to be his DC,  him and/or Walters should asked permission from Buono to talk to Washington, if necessary, add the title of the Assistant HC to make it as a legitimate move (promotion and not lateral).

 

 

I don't think they need to wait until the BC HC issue settles.

How do you know they didn't? Just because the media hasn't reported it/doesn't know about it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I, for one, prefer when stuff like this happens under the table, rather than in the public eye.
