  • I got a chuckle out of Lapo's reply to Penton on Twitter       Tell us how you really feel, Paul  

  • Nice to see Willy reaching out to the new players.  Good leadership quality.

  • Whine if Bombers stand pat, whine if they add players. I'd say unbelievable but it's really not in your case. As Walters has said himself in free agency, you are going to have to overpay a bit because

Hurl contract : Jackoffs on Riderfans havew the gall to be mocking anyone on overpaying people. Unbelievable

There isn't a worse contract in the league than the 120K they plated Shomari Williams last season.

Wonder if we made him an offer

He wants to live in Eastern Canada.

The members on that site are mostly idiots... So Hurl's a turncoat now like Hank? 

I'm happy for Sam because (a) he played at Centennial High School here in Calgary where I used to work & coach & he's signed to play for the Bombers now so I couldn't be happier. I coached the JV team at Centennial when he played on the senior team. I also did the stats for the seniors as my son was the qb on that senior team. He was a special player back in high school here in Calgary. The most dominant defensive player in high school football in 2007 without a doubt. His defensive stats were off the chart. He had almost 3 times as many tackles as the player who was second on defense & that kid was also a helluva player but not in Sam's league. He made some kind of play on defense on nearly every single play all season long. He led our  team in tackles, assisted tackles, knockdowns, hurries, sacks, fumbles, fumble recoveries & interceptions. And just to top it off played wide receiver & scored a touchdown. Anybody who watched him & knew football also knew Hurl was destined for great things. That's 2 players from Calgary that I coached or were associated with that now play on the Bombers. Sam & Jesse Briggs. He was a running back as a pee wee player. 

Wonder who was the last contract offered tonight..

Personally I'm hoping for Curran.

Me too me too.. I know hervey said he won't be back so here's hoping he wants to start here..

Some Riderfans say they have hard numbers on Sam Hurl's contract. Apparently he got $120k in base/signing bonus plus up to $18k in playing time bonuses (I'd assume $1k per start). So he can make up to $138k if he starts every game this year.

Scouting report on Adams from 2011:

Darvin Adams

School: Auburn

Position: WR

Bio: Two-year starter who led the team in receiving as a junior with 52/963/7 and put up a career-best 60/997/10 as a sophomore.

Positive: Explosive receiver who stretches the field and can take it the distance. Quickly releases off the line, displays a burst of speed, and can turn it on in a single step. Sells all his moves, adjusts to the errant throw, and looks the ball into his hands. Possesses effective eye/hand coordination. Plays with body control, makes difficult over-the-shoulder catches. Consistently gets downfield behind defenders and plays faster than his forty time. Gets vertical and fights to make the difficult catch. Elusive, gets separation from defenders, and uses his frame to shield away opponents. Quickly gets into breaks and runs sharp routes.

Negative: Does a bit of unnecessary body catching and does not always catch the ball cleanly. Loses out in battles. Does not show strength running after the catch. Times poorly in the forty.

Analysis: Adams made an immediate impact once he stepped in with the starting team as a sophomore and has proven to be a big play receiver who makes tough catches down the field. He possesses the skills, both athletic and football, to be a productive third receiver in the NFL and should see action as a rookie this fall.

Started drinking early today? Those numbers sound about right.

If you had said Rider_Stronson instead of "some RiderFans" the response may have been different. Rider_Stronson is connected while "some RiderFans" are just pulling numbers out their wazoo.

Don't forget Kyle Walters is having a press conference at 10:15 this morning.

If Shomari is worth 120,000, Hurl is worth the extra 18k.

The so called Rider-Stronson is wrong as many times as he is right.

2.7% of your annual cap limit for Hurl.

 

I'm not even mad. Especially considering if he earns all of that (which I highly doubt he will) then it means we had a Canadian starting linebacker all year.

Nice picture you got there Jacquie.  LOL

It's all part of having being an advanced member!

That's what I think. It would be fantastic if he earns that bonus.

@PentonKirk: I'm hearing the #Bombers made a call about Kevin Glenn but are not in on the bidding right now. #CFL

The Bryant p/u is nice but not much to get excited about in the rest of that group. I would hope we are still interested in a stud middle linebacker and some Canadian depth at d-line tackle.

There was never a Canadian DT available.

Who's Canadian DT you think we need to pick up in free-agency?

I'd still like to see us sign Curran or Peters, along with Brohm and Sears.

There may have not been anyone available in free agency but that still doesn't change the need at those positions going forward.

Good chance we can draft a top defensive tackle.  Not gonna happen in free agency though, unless someone gets released.  Hamilton and Ottawa both have more Canadian DL than they can use, IMO.

I would hope that's the plan and as far as the MLB position goes, we should be able to find better than what's on the market with a little bit of scouting down south. I give full marks to Walters for retooling the o-line with some vets, we have enough up and comers on the way that we really don't need to panic in that area. He just needs to finish the off season strong with the draft and scouting for the positions that still need help.
