Colin Unger

I have no problem with giving him a chance to coach. Similar to AC. But i don't think it's wise to put him in a major role without proving something in a lesser role first. Id love to see him come in as a QB coach and work his way up. Let's keep in mind that great players don't always make great coaches. Just ask the quarterbacks who's the bombers fielded for the 2007 Grey Cup.

Assuming Damon Allen is using this guy as a vessel to get his message out it reminds me of Warren Moon. Warren wanted to go directly to GM of the Edmonton Football Team after years away from the league. And with this guy pushing for him to be an OC again it seems like he probably wants to skip a few steps.

You don't hear as much details because people in Calgary don't care about the team the way Bomber fans do. But in reality Hufnagel moved up and is no longer getting paid out of a football operations cap and Dickenson now does two jobs under the cap. Seems like a similar situation. However, I think it will end up looking different in Winnipeg.

I get that they've signed them longer term. But if they have to give a 350k raise to Rourke they will likely have to release someone who is under contract.

I don't see him signing with another reclamation project after what he endured in Edmonton. So which quality franchise is going to offer him off the charts money? Bombers would certainly offer him north of 200k. If Rourke signs back with BC it will be for a massive pay rise so they'll end up having to reduce expenses at receiver. Toronto will have to give raises across the board as Grey Cup Champs. Maybe Calgary will be in a position to offer on Lawler and Sask. Montreal isn't going to pay a receiver more than Eugene Lewis is getting. Hamilton has bigger fish to fry. I feel like Lawler will end up back here. I really want him back. But I'd rather have Lawler then Ellingson and Demski if it came down to it. Demski is good but I think McCrae can evolve into that type of player and we were often starting 2 or 3 additional Canadians.

The missed convert kept us from "potentially" going to overtime. Toronto kneeled the ball with plenty of time on the clock.

My bigger issue with leggs then the 1 point we missed was his punting and kickoffs in the Grey Cup. Especially when the other kicker is a beast. In terms of Placekicking/Converts Bede cost his team more then Leggs did.

I would like to see the team free up some cap space so we can go after Kenny Lawler who i don't think will get a 300k offer again. I assume that Schoen is gone to the NFL and that's extra painful due to the production we got out of a rookie minimum salary. Players who could be traded/released to save some cap space. Johnny Augustine. I believe he was signed to a deal that paid him more or less the same as Brady. With the Canadian depth we have we don't need a 90k a year backup runningback who hardly plays. We could find a league minimum Canadain backup for situation where we don't dress an american backup runningback like with did with McCrae. If Brady is injured going into a game we have the canadian depth to start a league minimum American back. Jackson Jeffcoat - He's a good player but his injuries hurt the team this year especially in the grey cup. The only other knock on him is he's one of the more undisciplined players on the roster in terms of taking penalties. He's a good player. But i think we need to get back into the mode of have higher quality backups and maybe take a reduction in the quality of starter at this one position. IMO we lost the Grey Cup because he went down and we had no backup on the roster. Kelly had nothing and should not have produced a TD but that loss of contain doesn't happen with Sayles at DT and Jeffcoat at DE. Bighill - Can come back at a lower salary. He's still solid and has been durable. Kyrie Wilson - Injury history a risk. We should be able to find one linebacker. Stanley Bryant - Retires. Replace him with a league minimum replacement. I though that the offensive line we dressed in the late season game in BC look shaky in the first half but in the second half they played pretty well. Hopefully Desjarlais is available. Rose - underperformed. Would only bring back at a significant pay reduction. Couture - He's a guy you could probably trade for a high draft pick to a team like Edmonton or Ottawa and replace with Kolankowski. Use this high pick on an offensive lineman who can come in on a rookie deal and add depth behind the starters. Nick Taylor, Matson -No need to spend up on defensive backs. With everyone healthy we discovered quite a few good young defensive backs like Houston, Parker, and Lawrence. Alden Darby worth bringing back on a reasonable veteran salary. After what happened i think he will be more interested in taking a decent offer from Winnipeg this season. Ellingson - Would save that money and take some of the salary saved from other subtractions to focus on Lawler. If Lawyer can't be signed maybe we look at bringing back Ellingson on a reduction and another vet such as Burnham. I personally think Bo Levi Mitchell wants to test free agency because the job in BC might be available. If BC goes that route they won't be able to spend like this at receiver. Burnham most likely to be released due to age and salary.

maybe it wasn't easier but it could have been a lot harder had he rushed for 3 touchdowns and won the MOP and Most Outstanding Player. There's going to be a nice rivalry going forward with Toronto. I hate them like you wouldn't believe.

They were solid until Jeffcoat went out at we had no backups at defensive end. That hurt us on the first down run by Kelly where we lost contain.

At least Andrew Harris was a non factor.

Never said I was a moderate. I'm left wing. Just curious if any of you think you are moderates. Just curios if the "anyone I don't like is a facist dictator" crowd views themselves as moderates?

I was a big fan on Bernie Sanders because he wasn't afraid to meet with dictators. Certainly didn't make him a dictator in waiting. Its really a shame the democratic party subverted democracy to stack the deck against him twice. We could be in a much better position today had they not. But the democratic party is simply too right wing to allow that.

Yes it is important to listen to views from everywhere. I stand by that. We can never challenge our thinking if we refuse to even hear an opposing views. Like Christians who refuse to watch Bill Mahers documentary ect. If you know you're right then what are we scared of. Yes personal freedoms are important. Taking them away is the first thing that facist dictators take away. I'm assuming I'm the only person here who actually knows what it's like to live in a country led by a facist dictator? I do agree I should have versed myself with him before posting the link to provide context.

I didn't quote anyone. I posted a link for discussion. I don't know much about Viktor Urban just that he's modeled after Singapore leadership. I also think that Putin is a fascist dictator and that Russia is even more corrupt than Ukraine.

You guys are incredible. I did no such thing. I simply posted an article link. It would be nice if we could return to the days when people could calmly discuss issues rationally.

You guys should step outside of Canada for a while. Wanting to have more rights is pretty much universal but in some countries they are not free to express that for fear of the government killing them. Believe me the stories that people told me after I built trust with them when i was living in Nicaragua were heart-wrenching. Having rights that some government can't take away everytime there is an emergency or an emergency they create is extremely important. I agree with that needing to react to emergencies. The problem is what happens when a facist dicator is in charge. Society at large will not realize what they are until it is too late. At first they will manipulate and make everyone believe there is a real emergency and be granted special powers. But the time there is a push back it will be too late especially with how comfortable so many people have become with the granting of special powers.

Have you ever disagreed with someone and not resorted to Trump style personal attacks?

Off the top of my head Freedom of speech is pretty important especially if you guys are right about PP and he gains power. It would also be important to have a list of rights that a time of emergency doesn't negate. Because by definition facists are militant and a facist could be elected and then create a way and then invoke a time of emergency to gain further dangerous powers.

I haven't once said that I'm going along with him and there's zero chance I'll vote for him due to Ted Falk being my local rep. But even without that it would be unlikely that I would vote for him but not impossible. I'm merely point out to you that there is a large swath of Canadians that like the idea of more rights. A group that goes way beyond the whacky protestors.

Again you're really jumping to conclusions. It was no accident that I used the word "seems to be". I don't trust him at all.

I have many clear medical issues. That's why these things not being available to anyone but government workers was so horrific for my life. Yeah I acknowledge that i misinterpreted and that im not fighting for rights that exist but rather for new rights to be created. Surely you guys would be on board with limiting government power considering you think we are on the verge of being run by fascist dictators. We could act now and courts could limit their power once they are in.

Define undemocratic things? Keep in mind I know very little about him other than that he seems to be standing up for struggling Canadians and claims to want to fight for more rights for all. And what exactly are you going on about. Like i fully understand if for business reasons such services don't exist. If no ciropractors want to work they should certainly not be forced to.

I thought i could take for granted that the government wouldn't disallow me from exercising at the gym (especially during winter), going for massage therapy, chiropractic and yoga. I guess i misinterpreted my free ability to do basic things as rights that i didn't know i didn't have.

I wasn't talking about the convoy. I think i made it clear that I was talking about the larger group of canadians who are fighting for the things i said they were fighting for. For example the federal party which has the highest numbers in the polls supports what im talking about.
