...Lawless says Riders looking at Ottawa Asst GM and John Murphy as potential new GM. Have asked for permission to speak to both. Fwiw.

I can see Stamps as one of those late TC additions.  May end up with the Lions or the Riders

Stamps has not been the same player since Washington flattened him breaking his ribs in the end zone early in 2014.

Speaking of the Senior Bowl, any word on who the Bombers have down there?  I read the Riders had EIGHT scouts checking the game out?

I think we got "7"

Glad to keep Buck in the fold. Figured him and Lapo would have a good history...

Buck is the OC unless injured

In light of Dressler's contract the storyline that he and Chick were kicked to the curb purely over money is getting even more laughable. Yet it still has a huge clapping audience.

Jones didnt want either of them. Don't know why its so hard for Priders to admit it.

While that may be true, Jones still did claim that he did try to renegotiate with both of them.

Word on the Rider's forum now has it that the Riders were obligated to pay their bonuses even if cut as they were deferred payments from previous seasons and probably guaranteed in the contracts they signed with Taman.

Won't be too long till Jovon starts putting the boots to the RB's and the rest of the CFL.

I feel bad for is gf/wife (if he has one)... just giving him attention is probably a full-time job...

Meh. He'll be more butt hurt when no one picks him up. He was lucky Ottawa picked him off the scrap heap.

You think they got serious offers from Jones ?

This must be some kind of mistake. Avon Cobourne WAS a running back. Shouldn't  he be coaching receivers or special teams or something..

(Sounds like an intelligent signing.)

Buck was a qb & that's what he should be coaching - qbs. I'm glad for Buck if he becomes qb coach.

Dave Dickenson started as RB coach for the Stamps. Hufnagel is such an idiot.

I'm not really sure why QB coach would be considered a "promotion" from RB coach... they're both entry level position coaches... seems like more of a lateral (although logical) move to me...

So our offensive staff currently looks something like... OC LaPo - OL Wylie - RB Cobourne - QB Buck - WR undetermined...

Back from a week in the hot sun to find out about Dressler! Solid signing for the Bombers. What is the latest on Andrew Harris? Anyword?

Harris is still under contract with BC and will probably continue to be until free agency officially opens.

Is QB coach more involved in the offensive planning, closer to the OC etc?  So in that sense a promotion because it's more training to be an OC versus what a RB coach traditionally gets?
