blitzmore Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I guess we know who won the power struggle. If there was one in the first place...it was all rumor. Al Bundy, Mr Dee and Blue-urns 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not sure this happens if others don't become available (Richie Hall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBieber Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 as per Lawless, names that will be in consideration for Etch replacement... Barron Miles, Devone Claybrooks and Ritchie Hall. Of the three ... I think I'd want Claybrooks, Hall or Miles in that order. Claybrooks really intrigues me because if O'Shea wanted Stubler last year, he's probably going to be interested in the guy's understudy. That being said, a lot of talk floating around that Claybrooks is pretty set on staying in Calgary. If I was a betting man, I'd say we end up with Hall. Wouldn't be surprised if this is Stubler's last go along with Huff, and Claybrooks is the new DC in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thought the Bombers are interested in Benevides? Looks like Mark Washington is going to stay in BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Not going to lie I am disappointed in this news just because I was kind of looking forward to the absolute meltdown certain posters would have had on here if he'd been kept. Not unhappy from an on field stand point. I don't think he was as bad as a lot of people said, but I do prefer a more traditional defense so that should happen now.

kelownabomberfan Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 but I do prefer a more traditional defense so that should happen now. Yeah, a more traditional defense that actually sacks the QB, makes picks and stops the run. Al Bundy and WBBFanWest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.A.B. Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk I heard this week that #Bombers management wanted Mike Benevides as DC and O'Shea wanted to keep Etcheverry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyOnTheSpot Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Early Christmas for me. That said Etch was a good person, just didn't like his D. I'm thinking they already have talked to whoever they want and are close to getting him. That explains the long wait anyway.

Jpan85 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thinks its more of waiting till the end of his contract for the year. Get his evaluations done of the players. Did the same thing with Burke he was around till his contract was done for the year. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Etch looked like a world beater early in the year, when our D starters were still healthy. As we suffered a ton of injuries and our complete and utter lack of depth was exposed, Etch's D *seemed* worse and made him look worse than he should have. Really unfair situation, and I feel bad for both him and his family, but such is life. As long as it's a proven-successful replacement, I'm cool with it.

Fatty Liver Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Grand. Etch had maybe his last chance in the CFL, can't see him getting another opportunity so it's back to College ball or retire to the rocking chair. Stubborn is as stubborn does and that applies to O'Shea as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument would hold water if last years Etch experience didn't play out exactly the way some of us thought it would. Start hot, other teams get film, then start getting earholed, and players begin grumbling. Sorry to see a guy get fired but thats pro sports.

M.O.A.B. Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does O'Shea have a relationship with Benevedes? Have they worked together before? No. FWIW, they are both Canadian and from Ontario province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousBIG Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does O'Shea have a relationship with Benevedes? Have they worked together before? No. FWIW, they are both Canadian and from Ontario province. When I was in NYC, a friend found out I was from Canada. "Maybe you know my doctor," she said. "He's Canadian." Yeah right I thought. Like theres not 40 million people up here. 3 minutes later, and not only did I know the guy, he grew up in Winnipeg, on my street. Played hockey together. Yep, I reinforced the stereotype.
