We gave up a 7th for Nicholls when we could have had Gale for free. Where's my pitchfork?

Gale might be better than Brohm/Marve too. Maybe we should bring him in for a look?

Suddenly our QB depth chart is Nichols, Davis, Gale... Marve on 6-game... Brohm no where near a CFL field... not the worst thing I've heard...

Is Ray healthy? Gale is a good player. Better than anyone we have behind Willy anyways.

 

 

 

@ArashMadani: Per #CFL sources: Troubled Jags WR Justin Blackmon added to Argos neg list this month. 5th pick in 2012 draft suspended indefinitely by NFL.

And they are welcome to him. He shows every indication that his problems are bigger than his talent.

CFL recognizes NFL suspensions.

 

 

Blackmon is an incredible talent... if he gets his act together (HUGE IF) and gets his suspension lifted there's no doubt he'll get another NFL opportunity...

 

 

I use him regularly in Madden! Sooo yeah....don't really know where I'm going with this post....

@CFLDaily: Hamilton Tiger-Cats have traded OL Brian Simmons to Edmonton for a conditional 7th round pick in 2017. #CFL

Wow, Simmons would have been great on our right side.  Conditional 7th...  what's the point of all these 7th round picks, no talent left in the draft by then

I think that's why teams are so willing to give them up.  And if you have a player that you aren't planning on using and whose salary is now guaranteed, why not get that salary off the books and potentially add a Canadian asset?

True, just surprised that Simmons can't even rank a 4th or 5th rounder

Teams know these guys are going to get cut so not much bargaining power. Get what you can and cut bait on them.

@mattsekeres: Would not be shocked if @BCLions fire HC Jeff Tedford if lose tonight vs. @MTLAlouettes. If so, Wally Buono goes back to sidelines. #CFL

WOW that's a huge one... similar to Popp/Hawkins.... 

 

They could probably trade him for a conditional 7th round pick instead... seems to be the going rate these days...

Well, the precedents are being set, so O'Shea is going to start hesitating to answer his phone and may well go completely MIA if the Bombers lose the next two. Better to jump before you are pushed, but its darned rare for coaches and GMs to fall on their swords, no matter how crappy they were. After all, they are always on the verge of an incredible turnaround in the club's fortunes.

@CFLDaily: Toronto Argonauts announce that QB Ricky Ray has been removed from the 6-game injured list. #CFL

Buono's a better HC than Tedford. Wouldn't be surprised if he took over if the Lions don't win tonight.

 

Ray back makes sense considering they cut Gale yesterday.  I was kinda expecting to hear that Reilly was being activated in Edmonton too.

Tedford has the profile you would expect to see in a good coach- a decent but not great player who had a good career due more to using his head as opposed to being gifted, then moving up through coaching to the pro level. Oh, well, hard to win without a competitive quarterback.

BC'S big problem is their D this year. Awful really.

If BC loses and the Bombers get beaten by the Riders twice in the next two weeks, we could have a baker's hat trick of canned coaches this year- might be some kind of record..

As much as you seem to think otherwise MOS is going nowhere. Learn to accept that

I can't disagree with you on that. When nothing changes, nothing changes. I've finally learned to set the bar for my expectations very low in the past few years.

I really think MOS has what it takes. Get the impression he knows a lot more than he lets on in the media.

 

He knows what the team is lacking. Set him up with a decent squad and capably OC and he'd be fine.

 

His mistake was picking MB as his OC. 

 

I would can MB today and Walters at year end. Get a real OC and someone who can find players like John Murphy. Then see what MOS can do.

Apparently the Riders are flirting with re-hiring Eric Tillman as the next GM. Multiple reports of spontaneous combustion coming in from all over the province.

I agree 100% about Tedford. Would have loved to see him here.

I can see what the team is lacking and with zero coaching experience I can see that Brohm does not have it. But alas lets blame Walters for not putting in Nicholls and starting Brohm.
