https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/02/17/the-only-place-i-saw-myself-playing-was-in-winnipeg/ Just on effin solid dude man....privledged to have a guy like that on this squad....and you know it wont go un-noticed by his teamats and Bomber staff...love this dude

Wrong, this was Rasheed when Sask called about his availability

Yeah reads to me like a guy struggling with the decision to stay for what the Bombers can offer or take more money elsewhere but maybe not be as happy.

A last small reminder about my tailgate party with the Grey Cup on Monday for anyone in the GTA East. It's gotten a bit out of control. Up to 140 people, 5 cooks and Molson has donated 8 cases and a local microbrewery another 6 cases. If you're interested, please PM me. (And if you come, you're very welcome to wear your team colours)

Boateng is garbage. Sure situational rusher, but to have his name in the same sentence as a guy like Jeffcoat who is the top TFL guy in his era, as well as top pass rusher, as well as a guy who drops out and covers as well as any LB in this league...silly. Embrace the fact that you'll get to learn some new names. Not sure why so many people lack confidence in the exact same group of personnel people who have rebuilt this roster year after year with great players.

Meanwhile Jeremy O'Day at work

I’m going to get this framed.

Sure bring in some competition for leggs. But let him keep the job if he looks any sharper then last season. We let go Canadian kicker Lirim Hajrullahu Paradis, Castillo, Maher. Not every kicker is an instant success and his numbers aren't bad for this stage of things.

Just avg 4 TDs a game...u miss 2 pat and u still have 26 points there alone haha...with our offence and defense....toss in a FG here and there I see more wins than losses haha

Don't agree. This year is more important because it is 2023. I'll worry about 2025 when it's 2025.

Rob maver struggled doing both punting & kicking for the Stamps. He was so dismal the Stamps had an open tryout for kicker in just his second year a month after the season had started. Some kid named Rene Paredes showed up & made his way onto the Stamps roster replacing Maver as the Stamps placekicker. Maver became just a punter & eventually one of the best, if not the best at net yardage & directional punting. A CFL & CFLPA all star by the time he retired over a decade later. I can see a parallel with Liegghio. I think he's better suited & potential to be a great punter. Just like Maver was.

Truly a unicorn in todays professional sports.....

Maybe, but Moore plays the 3 technique spot which has never been an issue. There's no shortage of guys coming from the US who can pass rush well from that position, I wouldn't spend money there. The weak spot has been the nose without Richardson. The nose spot in Canadian football basically doesn't exist in American football. Their nose tackles are required to have basically no mobility so you're converting a 3 technique guy who's played that his whole life or if you're really lucky you find an extra athletic nose who is a bit smaller like Richardson.

They will be all-in as long as Collaros is playing. That's what having a QB is like...I know we don't really know the feeling.

Kyle Walters walking into Bombers HQ today

I rather the di spots go to receiver...linebacker...defensive line..not kicker...we went 15-3 with a still maturing Leggz...and didn't lose grey cup cause of him .. shouldn't even have been a close game...we sucked as a whole....based on putrid play ZC should be cut based on that thinking...he was god awful...but was also pretty much gonna be useless due to his injury...we as a team just don't use excuses so it's never been mentioned or touched on...he shouldn't even have been on field..but a wounded ZC was our best shot..

I don’t just breathe through my nose, that is psychotic.

And 20 nose tackles hammering the dummies.

This. You simply can't miss 8 extra points - it's not acceptable. Sure...they are 32 yards...but always from the middle of the field.

Nothing wrong with Leggs as just a punter.

I read the article as: he came to that conclusion after reflecting on it.

My WWII vet Grandfather is rolling in his grave every time these fuckers are causing problems.

He's putting way too much faith in the premiers. You just have to look at Stefanson silently requesting federal help for the convoy situation while publicly criticizing the Feds for shutting down the convoy. They are having a little playdate weekend at a farm "Camp Hope" in Dugald. World Unity rally 🙄, so watch out, you're about to be unified... by a population backed by Russian attempts to destroy Canadian democracy.

Jones would probably convert him to a defensive end.

Yay Sheed! F Bluto!

Yesterday, we were bickering. Today, Sheed has brought us together. Go Bombers!

Get the Kleenexes...

"What does Nathan Rourke think of Bailey re-signing with Winnipeg?" - also Farhan, probably

The other CFL GMs when they think of Walters:

These extra kickers we have to bring in are also spots we could be using in camp for the DL

Liegghio is so young.... have to let him grow. He's not a big issue, IMO.

What would really make me happiest, beyond Fox News going into bankruptcy, would be a judicial order forcing them to make an on-air public retraction of their false claims from each and every host who ever peddled the lie at the main network. Murdoch, Dobbs, Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham, Pirro, every single one of them in full, forced to tell their viewers that they knowingly lied to them.

Glad Sheed is back.

And why if he was always so determined to be nowhere but Winnipeg did it take two weeks into free agency for him to stay here? And what other offers did he turn down, and for how much? Curious to hear some numbers.

I don't know enough to know enough, but maybe some of you football minds might remember better, but I remember Doug Brown talking about how Greg Marshall saved/improved his career by converting him into a "true" Nose Tackle for the first time in his career. I don't know enough about what exactly that means, but I remember Brown talking about what a big deal it was at the time....

Just stuff Dobson at the nose to bull rush the snot outta interior olines....he would definitely have to have two guys double teaming him....problem solved...then You also have an extra Olineman on the roster in case of 2 injuries

Do you think Walters wants to run the non-football side of a professional football team? I don't.

There’s a group of around 20 freedom convoy Nazis at the corner of Plesis and Kildare today. Faaaar too close to home for my liking. I immaturely did a very slow flip off while passing them. чортів Russian assets. Smfh.

Bombers are bringing back National olineman Brandon Sanford out of UBC. He was an early training camp cut for the team last season.

Me after hearing of Bailey's signing:

While being a guy who had some great runs as a fill in for the sweep package, is an excellent blocker, two time champion and major culture setter. He could be a 1k receiver on a lesser team. He never quits either. He’s faced a rough start and a slow start. He’s been passed by a rookie and a free agent pick up. But he just keeps on grinding. Every team in the league, in any league is fortunate to find a person like Sheed. Hopefully he turns to coaching here after his playing career cus he has a whole lot to offer. I have no doubt other teams offered more cash. I mean jake got like 220k. About 100k too much. Lots or mediocre and past it wrs getting big pay this year.

Walters has def earned his extension......can't say he Odayed it

Seriously though, that receiving corps..... Collaros right now......

hence one of the reasons I knew he wouldnt be gone....and he is a true blood and guts guy for his brothers and team...we have a room full of them He's a heart and soul guy....you dont let that walk out your door cause it's infectious....and you know damn well his teamates are elated for him...and the "team" He fits in where he did last yr...except we had to settle for Lawler instead of Ellingson...oh well...hopefully we will be just fine ahahaha

That legit put a lump in my throat. Love you Sheed and love this team!

(Beating a joke to death) But pump the brakes, Trevor Harris is playing some of the best football of his life.

Bailey stays! 1 year deal. Our offense has some solid depth now.
