Atomic Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is there some reason the WBB felt they had to rush this announcment? They wanted to get it out before everyone knew they ruined winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Okay, great news that the announcement has been made & we have a quality DC in place with Hall. Now the hiring of defensive coaches begin.I like Hall's idea of putting players into position to be successful which wasn't the case before. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean putting a true Defensive Lineman on the D-Line instead of a Defensive Back or Linebacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etch played guys out of position that were too small & were overpowered at the LOS. Or didn't have great football strategies like failing to account for every gap as all other DC's would do.

Shanks Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 If I asked my friend (who is a fellow 12-year season ticket holder with me) who our DC is... he would likely say "no idea".... If I asked him who the DC was last year, again, he would probably have no idea... I agree the percentage of Bomber fans that actually really care about this announcement is somewhere along the lines of about 1-2%... I kind of think who the Bomber DC was crossed the minds of a whole **** load of people every time Walters and Cornish ripped off 20-30 yards against us last year. iso_55 and Tracker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future we need to refer to our departed defensive coordinator as "he who shall not be named" in order to avoid re-traumatizing the fans here. iso_55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.O.A.B. Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think I will be OK with this defensive staff... DL - Mike Sinclair LB - Kevin Eiben DB - Greg Knox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have no issues with keeping Nelson Martin on here actually...proven...players like him, and db's were least of our concern I have issues in all 3 defensive assistants we have since they agrees with Etch in (1) having no playbook and (2) playing players out of their natural position.

Armchair GM Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think I will be OK with this defensive staff... DL - Mike Sinclair LB - Kevin Eiben DB - Greg Knox I'd be absolutely elated with that staff. It's a bit pie-in-the-sky, but actually somewhat realistic as it does fit with this regime's M.O. of hiring coaches with CFL experience (playing and coaching), and Canadian content.

That statement doesn't really make any sense. You don't know what their personal views on either of those issues were and in the case of a guy like Nelson Martin as an example, all of our defensive backs were experienced defensive backs. This whole "playing players out of their natural position" thing was so overblown while Etch was here. Truly. The only two players we had playing a position they weren't traditionally suited for or experienced at were Mike Cornell and Ian Wild. So one rotational guy and one full time starter.

You have no idea if they agreed with everything Etch wanted to do... they are coaches who want to work in football and this was an opportunity... they were likely just listening to the boss...

It's not accident though that all 4 were together in their stint with the Riders and then here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sure doesn't look like the presentation was any reason to delay the announcement. Couldn't take my eyes off that stain in the ceiling long enough to pay attention to what Richie was saying. Confidentially I think Richie has a problem with his plumbing.

How do we know he wasn't in his office at Mosaic? And because they wouldn't have conducted an interview using Skype if he was in Winnipeg. I wouldn't be surprised if that was Mosaic. An outhouse in the stadium is considered indoor plumbing in Saskatchewan. Fred C Dobbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 A "golden" memory for me was taking my first piss in one of the trough urinals at Winnipeg Stadium when I was 8. Splash back was a ***** though when you're 3'-6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
